Blinn College Top Questions

My advice to myself as a high school senior would be to work when you can and make as much money as possible. Save your money and then make a budget for yourself so you know how much spending money you have each month. Learn how to cook! Get your parents to show you how to make basic recipes and write them down. I would not go to a college that is too far away. Even though it is easier than you think to move away from home, it is nice to know that you can go home when you want fairly easy. And my last piece of advice would be to make friends with others who will be going to the same school. It helps to have a friend go with you through the process before you get there and once you are there.

I would go back to my senior year and do the whole thing over. T hings that I took for granted would be approached totally different. My mom always says if I would do things right the first time I would not have to dig myself out of a hole. I know now she was right.

Knowing what I know now, I would have took a lot more college course in highschool. I would not have played around so much, and tried a lot harder. I would know that College is not something I should play with and I should work hard and be thankful, that I even get the oppurtunity to learn. The week days and week ends, I stayed home and layed around, when I know had something to study for, I could have took a couple hours of me doing nothing and acutually read a few chapters in a my books.

I would tell myself to not let the people around me affect my actions in and outside of school. I would tell myself that working hard at everything you do will give you the most fulfillment and happiness. I would tell myself that no matter what your peers think of you, if you know that you are doing the right thing and giving everything your best shot, then that is all this world can ask for. I would tell myself that the life we live shouldn't be judged by the expectations of the world and people around, but by ourselves and the people that we love and care about the most.

Take all the dual credit and summer college classes that you can. It will make the transition alot easier and also narrow down the remaining hours you have left to take each semester. Focus a plethora to all advice and sources that surround you, because on your own there are so many different things thrown at you and many more obstacles to face. What you have to fall back on are the people you know, what peers and advisers have tought you, and the way you were raised. So enjoy being young because every year that passes you get closer and closer to the real world of work and in turn hopefully SUCCESS!

I would have made sure and focused on my AP classes more and made sure to pass the AP exams for those classes so that i could have gained more credit from those classes and possibly been a college year ahead of where i am now.

If i could go back in time, i would have told myself to get more advice on online classes and to not take one as your first year. I would also tell myself "although i know you are going to a college town remember you are not of age and you will run into a lot of tempting situations, just say no its not worth it". I would also have to tell me self, if you can not figure out how to study, learn. Get with some friends pick up some learning techniques. Studying is something you have to know how to do to make it through college. And lastly i would tell myself "never give up, times DO get hard; and they always will. But never never give up".
