I would tell my self to be more open to making new friends. That I dont have to be afriad and only hang out with the same people from high school becasue it is easier to get through college when you know other people at yor school. It also helps so that when you need to study for classes then you can get help. It also helps you stay more active in school and getting involved. I would tell my self to go to school events and not worry about what my firends want to do. if i want to do something then i should do it. I would remind myself that im the kind of person who like to be active in school and groups and if i dont stay with it in school then I will not always be happy. i would also tell myself to apply for scholarships early on and get money for school because its not cheap. I would have tried to get into more school financial aid programs that are offered to freshman that would help me to pay for school since now i work all the time just to pay for classes.

I would tell myself that Angelo State is a good university and to immediately meet up with the Christian Campus Center for new godly friends are waiting to be met. I also need to really keep up with my schoolwork and not wait for the professor to have to tell me I'm late on my assignments. Also to try out the online classes sooner just because they are easy to use and helpful as well. Overall just to stay focused and be ready to work hard!

I WOULD SAY KYLE, SAVE YOUR MONEY AND APPLY YOURELF IN COLLEGE. HIGH SCHOOL WAS PRETTY EASY FOR YOU, BECAUSE YOU DID THE WORK ON TIME AND PROFICIENTLY. DON'T PUT ANYTHING OFF UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE AND BE PREPARED FOR CLASS. LISTEN TO YOUR PARENTS AND TEACHERS MORE BECAUSE THEY DO ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT AND THEY DO WANT TO SEE YOU SUCCEED.

Working hard gets you to more places and better grades. Important to be focused and to always ask your professor questions. Be ahead with financial aid and know any deadlines you will need. It will be stressful but always stay calm and make sure to always have friends that you trust whether back at home or new friends at college.

Advice I would give to myself is to prepare for the many changes that will occur within the first semester of college. By changes I am referring to differences in academic learning level, friends and bonds, entering into the "real world" as well as new schedules and professors. By preparing for these changes, the transition into the college life will be smoother because I would have a better idea of what to excpect, look out for, and have ways of handling new and different situations.

I was advise myself to learn my studying habits before college. Coming from a small school where I did not have to open a book to get A's really hurt me in college. Being a freshman and taking hard courses for my nursing major brought my self esteem down and made my stress levels increase dramatically.

I would advise to look more in depth for scholarships and grants. It's not enough to just be able to rely on what little money my family had. While being a first generation student is great, it's not so great constantly worrying about funding and if you're going to be able to go to school next semester because you're worried about money. Take time to learn how to study and find good study habits early. It's not enough to hope into college and expect to know how to study or expect that someone at the university will teach you study habits or how to manage your time. Take the time to get to know other people on campus, such as other students and your professors. They'll be the big push in your studies, pushing you to do better and to make your dreams come true.

If I could go back in time and give myself some advice, the first thing I would say is "It won't matter." Too often I found myself caught up in what other people thought of me and I know now that it was the biggest waste of my time to fret over something so insignificant. I would also advise myself to spend more time studying. My grades were great, but they could have been better. Studying more would have also prepared me for the kind of studying that I do now. In high school, studying took 20-30 minutes. In college, my first round of exams hit me hard and had I developed proper studying skills back in high school it would have saved me a lot of time and stress.

I would go check out the colleges that best describes you, whether it be a small school, a large school, or even a private school. Then after you made your choices go take a tour of them all and start narrowing down your options. After your pick your choices down to lets say your top two, go ask about the finanical aid, activties, dorm living, tutition, ect. From my own personal experience about picking the right college for me, I had four in mind and by narrowing my down, it was between McMurry and San Angelo. I picked those two university because they both had a great track program but McMurry didn't offer any scholarships and I didnt feel like it was at home but when I walked around the campus of ASU, I felt like God was telling me welcome home Whitney. Its a small school and the professor will help you whenever you need it and will work with you. Small schools are the way to go. Make sure you get in with the right crowd and follow your dreams. College is fun but at the same time you have to work hard to get that degree.
