University of Wyoming Top Questions

Wow....if I were able to go back in time and talk to myself about knowing what I know now about college life, I would definetly have to change some things. The first thing I would change would have been working a little harder in high school and not just waiting until my senior year to take school serious. I would also tell myself to work and study a little harder for the ACT as it really does matter for getting into a good school. I would also tell myself to listen to my parents when they were trying to teach me about organizing and managing my time better. College life can and does challenge you on how you spend your time.

Save up money now and start preparing for teaching yourself your school work.

It would be so nice if I could actually go back in time. I wouldn't make any decisions for myself, or give any clues away. That would just spoil the ending. As a high school senior, I was a little unsure about what I wanted to do and accomplish in my life. I knew I loved art, and I thought that teaching was a good way to go about that. I actually didn't even decide on any major until my college freshman orientation. Now that I am here, I know that I made a good choice. I love my art courses and school, and I can't wait to slip into my teaching shoes. The advise I would give myself, isn't much advise at all. It is more so a little encouragement that I so much needed. I would tell myself to trust my instinct, study what feels right. I would tell myself that the University of Wyoming is a good choice, a good school, close to home. Finally, I would tell myself that the road ahead will be tough, but study hard, and you can push through. If only I could go back in time.

I would tel my self that college is not like high school. Classes get a lot harder and if i still want to be an engineere I need to be ready for long nights of doing homework and studying for tests. over all the transition to college is not difficult you just need to be ready for your life to take a completly different direction at times and nothing will ever goaccording to how you plan.

Take college seriously. It may all seem like fun, but what you do here determines the rest of your life. ISome people say college is the last time you'll ever get to party. Don't believe them because you'll have the rest of your life to have fun, and those people are just afraid of what will happen after college. Work hard and prepare yourself and you'll see that life after college can be amazign. Don't get too frustrated there are a lot of people that want to see you succeed and are here to help. There are a lot of resources and no class is to hard if you just put your mind to it. Some professors will try to scare you by telling you "This is a weed out class. I don't give A's." If you truly work you'll do fine. Enjoy college. Work hard and stay focused, but still take some time for yourself. Employers are looking for well rounded students, so make sure you have hobbies and still know how to have fun when it's all over!

If I could go back, I would tell myself to try as hard as I could to find a job. My first year of college I did not work because I was afraid I would not have time to do fun things with my family and friends. Now in my second year of college, I have a job and I am doing just fine in school. I even have time to do all the fun things I like. I realize now that having the responsibility of a job is teaching me better time management. Last year I did not manage my time as well, and I feel that if I had managed my time better I would have performed better in my classes.

Practice as much as you can now and be ready for some hard times. Remember when the girl of your dreams askes you out, accept it and don't bring her to the movies. It will not turn out well. Also conducting is a hard class. Start practicing now. Other than that, remember that there is always ups and downs, make the most of whatever you are doing. This is your best chance of making it in the real world. Take your time and smell the roses while you are at it and pace yourself. Do not rush life, or else you will regret it later on. Catch you later dude. (Most likely what I would say along with how I would say it.)

DO NOT overload yourself with classes you think you can fit in. If you aren't a morning person DO NOT give yourself 8o'clock classes. Make sure you are responsible enough to make your own decisions, because the freedom that comes with college is usually odd and many extend themselves too much socially.

Keep up the hard work.

I would tell myself to relax and stay open. Everyone is in the same situation as you. Everyone you meet is eager to meet people and learn. It is your road test to life. Enjoy it. There is a time and place for everything and its college. Do what you can; you will never regret what you try as much as the opportunities you passed up. Talk to your teachers. Stand out and you will fit in. But mostly I would tell myself to have fun; college is where seizing opportunities is a daily occurrence.
