University of North Texas Top Questions

Keeli, Focus, study, and work hard while you are in high school. Take as many advanced and dual credit classes as possible, so you can test out of certain classes, and therefor graduate college sooner. Begin your college search and application process early and dig deep to find as many scholarships as possible. You may have "Senioritis", but DO NOT let this take control and hinder your ability to work hard in order to obtain your goals. Good luck as you transition into the college world! Love, Your Future

Pay attention in math class, you do NOT want to go back to remedial classes in college! Nobody really cares what you wear to school! Volunteer and join some organizations that will help in college! Your friends and boyfriends will not really matter a few years from now. Stop stressing because in a few years you will achieve everything you want to achieve, because you want it badly!

You never fully understand a person until you live with them. It began second quarter right after we submitted our roommate contract for the following year. At this point, stress began to burden me and my two roommates, cleanliness habits began to deteriorate and tensions between us roommates began to grow. None of us expected this. We all loved each other to pieces and, from an outsider's view, we were the roommate match made in heaven. But placing three girls in a tiny room for a year creates emotional conflict in one way or another. I will admit, when I first went to college, I was pretty excited about the idea of living with new people and in a sense creating a new family. I was looking forward to a roommate situation where we would live in peace and harmony. But, life simply doesn't work that way. Even if there aren't any obvious problems, the emotional turmoil and experiences we were going through individually makes our relationship difficult. It was unavoidable. Therefore, I would probably advise my past self to mentally prepare for the complexities of the housing dynamics.

Knowing what I know about college life, I would tell my highschool-self to take it slow. I was so excited to get started and completed, I flew through my years at college. I took advantage of some services and outlets, but not to the level that I could have. The time is going to pass whether you want it to or not, there is no reason to rush it. Take time to take in what is going on around you. Invest in the relationships that you are building, because it's a good chance these people will be life-long friends. Take time to actually learn from your teachers, not only in the classroom, but outside as well. These people are invested in your future and you can rely on them in the future for references and job opportunities. Overall, don't be so focused on the future that you miss out on your present.

I would tell myself to never compromise your future for others. Believe and your self and have faith.

I would tell myself to research other possible majors and how I would go about getting them. Also, I woudl tell myself to learn to drive and try harder to convence my parents to get me a car.

A word of advice Kelsey, don't stress! All the turmoil that you're putting yourself through now isn't worth the heartache and your time. Enjoy your senior year of high school, make memories, don't worry about tomorrow just yet, live your life today. Make sure to take every opportunity that's thrust upon you, don't let anything slip out of your hands. And if you want something to happen, then get up and do something about it! Don't just sit on your rear, hoping it'll come to you! Take chances, ask for help, be brave! The worst thing that could happen is that somebody tells you, "No." Don't live in fear! Your parents door will always be open, so if you get homesick, get in the car and start driving! Lastly, work hard and do great things. You are blessed, loved, and have a great support system behind you so go out there and get it!

always try your best

If I could go back in time I would tell myself to reach out a hand and show everyone a little kindness. Many of my high school peers could have benefited from other high school students reaching out a hand to say "hello" or "how are you?" I have come to learn that just the smallest gestures of kindness could have helped to change someone's life. Some people who did maybe feel like it was the end of the world or that they were completely alone could have been shown that it was not the end of the world and that they were not alone if they were shown just a little bit of kindness. I would tell myself that just the smallest gestures of kindness could change someone's life, and maybe even save their life. If someone was getting picked on or if they were sitting alone at lunch I could have stood up for them, or told them to sit with me and my friends. I would want the high school version of me to show that I cared for more than just myself like so many others did.

Take all to as many Pre-AP or college advanced classes as possible. This will save you money and time when you enter college. If not then you'll have to take them in college along with your other classes and it seems eaiser to get them out the way at an earlier time.
