Tallahassee Community College Top Questions

Give the chance to go back and talk to myself while still in high school, with all the knowledge that I have gotten from being in college. I would tell myself to not wait till the last minute to fill out my college applications and to fill out more scholarship applications at the same time. Then I would tell myself not to stand off to the side during orientation or the first day of classes and give people the chance to meet me before making judgments about them ahead of time. Also I would tell myself to go to more of the school events to have a good time and meet more new people.

Oh Caty, how nieve you are. While you're in biology, I'm sure your thinking about shopping during lunch or about the guy you're seeing right now.. Trust me, you don't wear any of the clothes you've spent hundreds on more than once and you don't still talk to any of the guys you date. Save your money to buy that 4runner you want so it doesn't take you twice as long to buy it so you can stop driving that beat up volvo of mom's. Keep your friends and stay loyal to them, don't get sidetracked by a boy. Have faith that good grades get you farther than you think in life because they end up helping somehow in many cases. When you're in a parking lot, look both ways! You get in many wrecks and they cause you nothing but stress and money. When you get to college, don't skip class just because the teacher doesn't take attendence. Look up you're teachers before you sign up for classes, withdrawling looks bad and FSU won't take "I had the worst teacher!" as an excuse. Good luck!

if i could go back in time about high school i would try harder in trying to get schalorships and grants, becouse i am having a hard time paying for school amd the goverment will not help me becouse my parents make to much money. my parents may make money but they have three kids and they do not help me any more and have not helped me in since i graduated high school in 2007. so it is taking me a lot longer to finish school. i have taken out loans but i have already taken out 20 thousand dollars in loans and i have only been going to school for two semesters. i'm going to Keiser university to get my medical assisting degree then finish with my RN degree, but I dont want to be thousands of dollars in debt when im done with school . so that hat I would go back and do if i could go back in time a redo high school.

Figure out what your three possible majors could be before you even graduate high school. Always have plan A, plan B,and plan C. Don't just expect to jump into the midst of things because your SAT, ACT, or CPT scores might not permit you into normal education classes. Prepare for these tests so you pass with flying colors or you might be stuck in remediel classes before you can start taking classes that count towardsyour degree. Don't think college is for partying either. College is there to educate you not help you fail. Go to college with a mindset of your future being your top priority.

I would tell myself to take as many college credit courses that are available to become more knowledgeable of how college classes are taken. To get into as many extracurricular activities to show that your involved within the school. To do good in all your classes and always stay motivated in order to succeed.

1) Take advantage of the free time you receive and put a good, strong emphasis on studying. 2) Also, many professors don't regularly take roll, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't attend class just because you don't have to. You will still probably miss something that they went over in class and it will likely hurt you on an upcoming test. 3) Enjoy yourself. It's so much better and less stressful than high school.

If I had the chance to got back to my high school senior self I would tell myself to not take the time I had for granted because everything you do has rewards or consequences. I would have told myself to become more organized and well-prepared, especially for school so I could drag the good habits with me to college. I would tell myself to work harder and study as much as you possible could because in the end it will pay off incredibly. But, as you can tell I, in reality, did non of this to my full extent and I must work harder now and make sure I make as little mistakes as humanly possible. Please don't misinterpret though, just because I have made many mistakes I do not regret them, those mistakes taught me what I know now and I might have caught on late, but at least I caught on.

See that campus? It's your future. Succeed there and strive to be all that you can. When you set foot on those sidewalks, you are accepting responsiblity. No one is going to clean up your messes anymore--you must rely on yourself. Don't let people or a new envoirnment intimdate you because this is not high school. Your peers here don't care about your clothes, your class schedual, or where you eat lunch. College is about independnce. College is about your individual success. Dont depend on your teachers, your guidence counselor, or group member to hoist you out of trouble. Exersice self disipline and dont forget to pay attention. Realize now that college isn't "fair." Take a class because its interesting, not because your best friend is taking it-- most likely neither of you will learn and will barely pass. Get involved with something on campus (a great way to meet people and connect to your school). And most of all balance; this is key. College is where you train for life, and life is a constant balancing act.

I would tell myself to subue my passions and stay focused. I would tell myself to have a goal, write on a piece a paper, and place it on the wall. Having a goal is the first step in overall success not only in college but in life itself. Writing it down makes my goal real. Placing on my wall allows me to look at it everyday, and builds time management. All work and no play is just not healthy, but in morning you still have to look at the plan. I would tell myself to value friendships more and keep those friends who also believes the same principles. Lastly, encourage myself to except the bad times as well as the not so bad times.

Before entering the road to college I was scared and now that I looked back on it I wondered, "why?". College is not what I thought it'd be but, it's not all fun and games either. Going to college is a step in life that'll I'd recommend everyone to do. Of course it's not going to be all easy but there are some willing teachers who want to help you make it in life. Having the chance to talk to myself in high school about now I'd definitely tell myself"don't stress going to college because you can succeed if you believe". I'm to the point in life where I want to make something of myself and be the first child to graduate from colllege and encourage my siblings to do the same. In high school I wasn't to focused on scholarships but now that I'm in college and see the the expenses I'd wish I known this beforehand I could of been more prepared for the cost of college. Besides that college is the best life experience you'd get!
