Towson University Top Questions

I would have told myself to research the fields of study I was interested in very well. This way I could be sure of what I wanted to do once I got into college. The longer you spend taking courses the harder it becomes to switch your major without feeling like you wasted a lot of time. I would also advise myself to work hard on my college applications and make sure they are all submitted on time so that I would have a better chance of getting in where I wanted.

Jennifer, You are so shy -- at least as far as people view you -- but you have so much love inside of you to share with others. High school peers knew you when you were a unsure of yourself, but you learned alot about who you are and can laugh at them. You know you are intelligent yet you haven't been able to demonstrate this characteristic of yourself due to self doubts. Take your time in college to find people who make you comforable, practice all of your known talents, learn new talents and don't let anyone stop you!!

I would tell myelf to not be afraid of anything and to be myself. I am somewhat of a shy person, so college was going to be a huge transition for me. I had never been away from my parents for more than a week at a time and my friends were all going to different schools. I was not sure if I was going to fit in or even like the school itself. As I began to experience Orientation and my first week of college I realized how important it was to be confident in myself and be outgoing. I have learned that college is what you make it out to be. How much you put into your college experience is how much you get out of it. This not only applies to academics, but also to friendships made, clubs joined, and life in general. Although, inevitably, college is bound to be difficult, it can also be a time to grow as a person, so I would tell myself to enjoy the experience and make the most of it.

Focus! Focus, focus, focus! Your GPA is really important but not ONLY your GPA. Get involved into sports, if you haven't, yet. Try to join as many clubs as you can (while being able to keep it all balanced), and remember--colleges like leadership. Develop yourself as a person--you've got to sell YOU! Be confident, never second guess yourself. Study: it's for your own good. Never stop reading. Prioritize. Getting your homework done is more important than that cute, new student in your English class. Challenge yourself: take AP, IB, or Honors classes; colleges eat that up like candy. Most importantly, have fun your senior year in high school. College isn't free and it takes a lot of hard work to get there, but enjoy your last year to the fullest! Your happiness is important, too.

Get things done on time. Keep a calendar and stay organized. Mom won't be there to do everything so you need to become even more independent. Go into your future being yourself and don't the attention and actions of others influence you.

Well I went to West Covina High School and two months before graduating I moved with my family to apple valley and there is where I finished out high school graduated by the skin of my teeth but I finished my high school years were I had hard problems with math but I had a sister that helped me finished. So if I could go back and tell myself how easy it will be to go to college I would say its great. Katline darlin Coffman Is Gods gift to me. I meet my husband Alfred Gallardo I moved in with him dating he and I raised my daughter together for four years then we got married . So after a year of traveling Alfred and I split up he and I parted ways .Then I meet Eric the love of my life we fell in love then I was pregnant with the most gorgeous baby boy there is my baby Orion Isaiah Lucas on august 17.2010. I was so happy. For the last past 6 months I have been a house wife taking care of my family.

I would tell myself to try harder. I would explain that the better I did starting off the easier it would be for me moving on. I would continue by showing myself the situation I am in now. I would urge myself to excel rather than just pushing through so that I could attend my first choice college and earn scholarships. I would prove that even a little but more work then would allow me to live a higher quality life now and forever more moving forward.

If I could go back in time and talk to the seventeen year old Brittney, I would tell her to begin to find herself. As a freshman in college, I did not choose the best major for myself, because I did not know exactly what I wanted to do or what talents I possessed. It was not until my junior year in college that I realized I wanted to be a health social worker and by then it was too late to change my major. So, my advice to myself as a high school senior would be to begin researching career fields. I would also, try to better evaluate my own characteristics, traits, and talents and correlate them with different careers. Then, I would narrow down my list of possible career choices by talking to professionals in those fields and job shadowing. By doing that, I would have been able to grasp an idea of what field I would like to study and I would better understand my strengths and weaknesses. Selecting the right college and major would have been much easier if I would have had a better understanding of myself as a person.

Work on your study habits because they will be important in college. On a more realistic and general note I would practice using an alarm clock more effectively and getting up early so actually getting up for classes would have been easier.

Dawn, I know you think life is pretty terrible right now. You’re a little bit of an awkward kid who doesn’t fit in easily and most days you think you just want to disappear. However, it is because you see the world differently that you are destined to be a great filmmaker. The fact you always saw the world in a different way will serve your vision. The time you spent reading when the rest of the kids were going out will serve your writing. The films you watched that no one ever heard of will serve to your advantage when you’re sitting in a classroom with your fellow film students who’ve only seen popular cinema. I know it’s hard sometimes looking at the kids who seem to have it all and wishing, for just one moment, you could be one of them. However, not being one of them will serve the person you’re destined to be in the long term. So keep your head up and keep struggling through, it does get better. The best days of your life aren’t high school, but the days long after it’s over.
