Southern Polytechnic State University Top Questions

Do as much as you can to prepare yourself for college and go directly to SPSU after HighSchool.

Don't go to Georgia Southern. If you must be near the beach go to Armstrong.

Well I would tell myself to attend SPSU from the start of my college career instead of attending college out of state at Jacksonville University

You're going to make a huge change when you go to college. You're actually going to work harder and a lot more than you did, but more willingly. You're probably going to go to college a few days a week, but only for a few hours, so keep your head up! Also, seriously listen to dad and get cracking on those scholarships because the HOPE scholarship is going to go away really fast, and you don't have the money to stay if you don't. So there won't be a degree and there won't be a future for you if you don't start signing up for those things! Do you want to live at home for the rest of your life? Do you want to struggle and be hungry? Because, as your adult self, I would say that's a crummy future, dude.

Life is about choices and your choices determine where you will go. Always take your time and think of all aspects before you make a decision. Remember how important an education is and once you attain one, it can never be taken away.

My advice to myself would be make the most of your educational opportunities as a high school senior. Take classes that will prepare you for college level classes, instead of the easy classes. Your GPA matters, don't be so casual about it. Start saving money now because its not easy to attend classes and work full time. Develop some good study habits now the lackadaisical way you study and prepare for tests and assignments will not cut it in college. The better habits you develop now the easier it will be to transition yourself into college and the pace it will require to excel. The most important thing I would tell myself is the EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT. It is a priviledge and should not be taken for granted.

Please, make a high Gpa and score well on the SAT test. Focus on school work first and finish your B.S. degree then returned for your Masters and a certificate of quality in your fiels of study. By twenty seven you should be set for a wonderful start on life, building a family, and giving back to your community.

The very first thing I would tell myself is to start researching possible majors and jobs that fall in those majors. I am currently a sophomore and facing a major change to a 5 year program. That will make the total amount of years I will be in school 7 if I pass all my classes without having to retake them. The next thing I would advise myself of is my work ethic. I am not able to coast by and still pass my classes like I was able to in high school. Southern Poly is one of the top hardest schools to get an A in and it requires much more work than I was previously used to. Other than those two pieces of advice, I would tell myself not to worry because Southern Polytechnic State University is a very good fit for me.

I would tell myself to keep working hard. Your senior year can be the most important year of your highschool career, so make it count. Once you've finished with this semester, don't stop working. Start studying over the summer. It is important to get ahead in any way possible. Finally I would tell myself to never fear failure. Life is about making mistakes and learning from them. You will eventually fail at something, and when that happens it is vital that you keep trying and digging. It is never all right to quit, so don't.

I would tell myself to get prepared now because college is not easy. Studying will now be a very big part of life and you need to stay focused. You can do it as long as you keep your mind on what really matters (the degree). College is fun, but difficult. Always use the resources your professor provides for you. Get to know your professors well and they will always be willing to help. Buy books from the bookstore accross the street. Make friends because the best way to sudy is to be in a group. Enjoy it because it will be the best years of your life.
