University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Top Questions

I would tell the senior me to make sure to look for work as soon as you can and make sure you have a fool proof plan while your getting prepared for school and while your in school. Make up a good finacial plan and stick to that plan unless you need to change it around for a valid reason. The last thing I would suggest is don't wait until the last minute to finish your work and do it right then.

Stop procrastinating!!! I know it's really hard not to with this new "Window of Opportunity" thing, but trust me. This is a habit you need to get rid of ASAP. Procrastinating in college is proving to be a very stressful habit. Cherish your friendships and connections. Spend some time with Luis. He won't be around much longer. Don't let Jeni hide from Caesar in the movie store. That's the last time she'll see him again. The people you are close friends with now, the ones who have been there from the jump, are the people you can rely on. They're the ones that are going to help you out when you need favors and advice, like they always have. You're making the right decision by not having a boyfriend when you get to college. There's bigger and better here!!! Stay the person you are now. Over the summer, check your morals and what you stand for. Review your goals. You're going to be tested, so you have to know who you are. Most importantly, stay motivated and balanced.

Yes, your world is tiny; you know everything about it. Don’t bring that know-it-all viewpoint into college; the world outside your own is vastly larger. You have lots to learn, kid. A lot of students are still trying to figure out life, too. So when you see someone who looks lost (literally and figuratively) offer your help willingly. Then watch your web of friends grow! KNOW WHAT YOU WANT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE COUNTER! The people behind the register or counter appreciate and it. Keep the clerk in mind. You might find yourself in the same job one day. You pay $300+ per credit. Use it! Study your books, engage in conversations, pass the class. The purpose of college is to prepare you for the REAL life. With that said, don’t go to class just to ask, “When will I ever use this in life?” Statements like that are annoying and suggest immaturity. Everything in life has a positive side. There aren’t many exceptions. The positives won’t always show. It’s your job to find them. Finally, listen to Joseph Campbell and “FOLLOW YOUR BLISS”. It will never lead you astray.

I would say work hard in high school so therre wouldn't be a lot to change in college. You should be use to studying in college if you are studying hard in high school. It will be easier to adapt to.

As a college student now talking to my High -school self I would send a message of warning on how being a uncaring student will lead to a life of failure. If you want success in this life you have to give it your all and do the most you can to succeed. If you dont do that then you will struggle with things to come. The only good thing that can come out of that struggle however is the changing of your mindset. But if precautions are properly taken and you do not have to make major changes in your fist year or two in college you will be better off and lead a life of success.

While my college experience to date has been rewarding in so many ways, it has been challenging as well. To start I would have applied to more than one school, don’t get your heart set on just one. Well as it turns out I wasn’t accepted at that college, luckily my high school business teacher recommended his alma mater University Wisconsin-Whitewater. It was to be a perfect fit in all aspects, money, distance, and most especially an excellent business college. More advice to self would be, don’t procrastinate do assignment in a timely manner, it may seem that you have a lot of free time but you really don’t. Develop good organizational skills they are essential to accomplishing all that you will have to contend with on a daily bases. While your parents, friends and senior teachers think you’re stupendous, be cogitative of the fact that you’re now a small frog in a big pond and act accordingly. For the first time you get to make all the decisions. Just don’t jump in with both feet, give yourself a chance to learn all you can about any situation before you act.

My college education to date has been very rewarding. College has had a huge impact on how I view life. It not only is providing me with the necessary qualifications to become a successful businessman, but has also enhanced my over all awareness of humanity and its plights. This environment afforded me the opportunity to recognize and value concepts which here to for would not have occurred to me. It has always been my dream to attend college and complete a post secondary program. I have worked towards this goal my whole life. Graduating from college will be the culmination of my life’s ambition. With my degree in business marketing I will seek a position in the corporate world. My sense of conscientiousness acquired in college will be invaluable when I seek a position in the corporate world. Companies such as Nike, Target or Johnson and Johnson are corporations for which I would be honored to be a part of. They are all very successful businesses who make massive profits, but they also commit a portion of their earnings to community, employee, global, and environmental causes.

From my college experience so far I have gained many new perspectives on world ideas and people in general. I have met many new people which is great as well. It is valuble to attend college because first of all it makes you a better, more well rounded and organized person. Secondly attending college allows you to have many new experiences both within and outside the classroom. Thes experienes are both enjoyable and enriching in many ways.

From my college experience, I have gained a new family from the UWW Warhawk community. I have felt challenged to succeed academically and athletically, and would do it all again in a heartbeat. I have been given countless opportunities to give back to my community and feel included on campus. I have enjoyed the close-knit relationships developed with my teachers and advisors, and know my education acquired at UWW will lead me to a succussful career in the journalism field. I take much pride in calling myself a Warhawk, and plan to continue to support the school as a proud and involved alumni.
