The University of Texas at El Paso Top Questions

Change is good and don't let anything or anyone change your views on school. Do what you want and leave if you can. School is not easy but with a litlle effort everything is possible.

Everything is different than what you thought it would be. College is not like high school, you can't just blow your way through it. Practice your violin more and enjoy it more because in college, sometimes the work isn't very enjoyable. Pay more attention in your classes right now! Because you really will use all of the stuff you learn later in life; surprising I know. Don't take your education for granted; take it seriously because with the economy the way it is today, a high school diploma just doesn't cut it anymore. Spend more time with your family, because the friends you have in high school will not be your friends anymore in college unless they are studying for the same degree. You will make friends in college that will last a life time. Don't take no for an answer but don't assume that "yes" is the right answer for everything. Reach for the stars because time flies by and sooner or later, those stars that seem so close right now will burn out eventually.

Fisrt thing i would say to myself woulb be..COLLEGE IS NOT HIGH SCHOOL! It is no just another step in your education, it is a whole different world all togheter. College is not something to take lightly, it is a mayor step in your life. Without a college education many of the dreams and ilusions flying around in your head will never come true. A college education is not everyone, its for those willing to commit to do the hard work.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would have given myself the advice to start college even stronger than I did. I would definitely coach myself by giving strong words of advice, such as, "Make sure you consider your major and minor carefully." I would have also asked myself to strongly consider the classes I would need to take as a biology major and look into other fields, such as toxicology, which really interests me. I would have strongly encouraged myself to speak to my professors about starting undergraduate research in the biology field as a freshman. I would encourage myself to start reading into my subject of interest right out of college so that I could be more knowledgeable in my biology courses as a freshman. I would let myself know that there are plenty of jobs available on campus that are very student-oriented.

I would tell myself that I'm a very talented person. Then I would tell myself that it's not enough. True success goes hand-in-hand with a determination to not be mediocre, and a solid work ethic. My parents gave me the latter, but I had to learn the former the hard way. I would remind myself not to lose my vision, not to forget why I'm here and what I really want out of this. Disctractions come in the most tempting and alluring forms, but in the end they rob you of purpose. Remember your purpose - the reason you're pusuing a degree in the first place. Don't forget about networking; it's a necessary skill, and it just might save your butt one of these days.

do not be such a bad procrastinator.

I would advice myself to work hard and learn as much as possible. College is not impossible, one just needs to work hard. This actually does not only apply to college, but to everything we do.

Assuming I could go back in time and talk to myself as a High School Senior, the one thing I would tell myself is to stay on top of everything: studies, knowledge of college costs, background information on the university before attending just to name a few examples. If I had simply taken the time to go more in-depth in these things, I wouldn't have had such a rocky first semester of college. Although I recovered from the rough start the following semester, saving myself the trouble by taking those things into account more often when I was back in High School would have been more than worth it!

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to stop procrastinating. I would say that it does no good in college. When it comes to getting work done correctly and applying for financial aid and scholarships in enough time there is no room for a student who procrastinates. ?Caitlin, you need to plan ahead and think of the future, you need to manage your time to study, sleep, and have personal time without putting things aside.? This is what I would say to myself. I?d emphasize how important it is to be prepared to work through classes that can be difficult to understand at times. I would have said that it was a good decision to graduate early.

One of the advice that would give my self if i whent back in time would be to, learn howto manage time. Time is something very important, that if one does not know how to manage it he or she will leave every thing till the last minute. Now that will cause the person to do his work in a rush that the work will come all wrong, and effected his gardes. something else that i would tell my self would be to teachmy self to have a studying schedule or in other words to study daily. so in college studying would become much easier. Then the last thing i would tell my self is how in college you make friends with every one and learn how to communicate with every one clearly so they would understand you. because in college you speak with every one and you will see them fgor long time. the ymay even be your roommate. Now does would be the three things i would tells my self if i cpould travel back in time,to my senior year.
