University of Cincinnati-Main Campus Top Questions

I would definatly tell myself to get a job as soon as possible. Not only is tuition completely insane, books and supplies are incredibly expensive, and the bad part is is that they are necessary so you have no choice but to get them. I would also tell myself to try and start putting myself in a schedule so I can get used to it. It is the only way to fully function in college. Without a schedule you can get lost between your classes and may end up forgetting homework until the last minute, which may cause quite a bit of sleep loss and bad grades. I would also say to try and possibly see if I could get board on campus, because I know for a fact that I missed quite a bit of interactions with my fellow students because I didn't board at the school.

Nobody denies, college is full of transitioning points and the only way to survive is to be prepared. GPA is very important in college, which will determine your college ready level courses. It is also important to practice how to stay on task, in order to prevent procrastination. Improving study habits is a necessity in college, since you are responsible for knowing the material in case an unscheduled quiz is given. Most importantly, having confidence will carry you along the way during your transitional points. Keep in mind to stay in touch with your advisors because they will be there to guide you when you are lost and give valuable information that you could use. Communicate with your teachers if you have questions, and take mutiple of notes. This will all be essential for your upcoming journey; so do all you can and take advantage.

I would go back in time and tell myself to take a year off to think about what it was that I want to do. I would also tell myself to open my mind up to all the possiblilities.

Time management is the greatest advice that I would give to my high school self. When I was in high school, I could procrastinate on an assignment, and still get it easily finished by the due date. College is definitely a different ball game. I need to work on every assignment as it is given to me, or else I will fall well behind my fellow classmates. If I had known this invaluable fact in high school, I possibly could have achieved even greater things in the beginning of my college career.

This Is the easy party just breeze through this and were on to ultimate sucess dont let the cost of college defer you from wanting to get there because its coming wethere you like it or not!!!

Knowing what I know now about the college life and making the transition I would tell myself as a high school senior to do some personal development. Find who you are before you transition into a college freshman and tell your mother to release her hold on you as a child becuase when a mother holds on to you she spoils your, therefore you do not know how to live without being dependent. When you are dependent you become very scared as to what to do next and you will find yourself lost as to what to do next. As far as being a college freshman I would tell myself to find one woman that is very intelligent and talk to her if you need a girlfriend. Females that do not have a good head on their shoulders will mess up your time management and thought process. Lastly, I would tell myself to really consider the college that you choose because this is an investment in your life, so make sure your money is spent correctly. No one is liable for your actions except for you and just know you must apply yourself to supply your wealth.

The question should actually be: If you could go back in time and talk to yourself as a high school senior, knowing what you know now, what wouldn't you tell yourself?! After being in college for almost two years now, I have learned so much about school and life in general that I thought I already knew as a senior in high school. It is because of my immaturity and ignorance (for lack of a better word) as a high school senior, that I missed out on some amazing experiences in college. The first thing I would tell my younger self, is to get my head out of "my own little world" that I lived in and open my eyes to the suffering and hurt in my community. Just because I am out of high school, does not mean my community service endeavors should stop when I receive that diploma. In addition, I would encourage my former self to apply for every scholarship that I come across, no matter how least likely the chances are. As an aspiring young professional, every little bit of assistance helps move you that much closer to your dreams and goals.

Going back in time I would tell myself to take more advanced placement classes and to get more involved in extra cirricular activities. I realize now taking Advanced Placement classes I could have gotten out of most of the general education classes universities make you take. This would not only have saved me a lot of time and money, but would give me a chance to either focus more on my core classes to get a higher GPA or take more classes and get ahead or minor in another subject. I would tell myself to get more involved, because it opens up so many more doors for you. Through community service and other organization, you are able to make friends and network which I realize now is an invaluable tool.

If I could go back in time and give myself a pep talk about college. I would tell myself that, "No matter what happens life goes on. Also, I can do all things if I believe in myself and have the determination to do so." I would also say, "You may have a learning disability, but that shouldn't stop you from your dreams because it is proven that people with learning deficits are above average." My final word of advice would be to, "Keep your chin up because there are so many people that are going to try and knock you down in life. Just know that deep down you out shine them. If you believe in yourself, you will succeed and accomplish your dreams."

I graduated a year early thinking I knew what I wanted to do. I started out in radiology and will now graduate with a dietetics degree to become a Registered Dietitian. If I could go back to high school and talk to myself, I'd tell myself to continue with high school and not skip my senior year and really seek out what exactly it is I wanted to do. I would have studied more my first year of college and not slacked off because I was not happy with my major choice. Now, that I am happy, I study extremely hard and am slowly bettering my GPA.
