Bloomfield College Top Questions

College isn't easy, it's not what we see on tv or how the movies make them out to be. Its life, it's what our parents have raised us for all those teachings, and lessons, encouraging you to take AP classes, and college courses while you were still in high school. It was to prepare you, some things we can't explain it and we are going to have to experience for ourselves. Take all the opportunities you can, that is going to help shape you to be all that you can be. The next four years of your life is cruicial and you have to get ready for everything that is going to get thrown your way. Its not like high school, no one is there to remind you of your assignments or take wake you up to attend class. You have to start taking responsibility because each day you endure makes you a step closer to reaching your dreams. College is the best years of your life, but it will only be as great as you allow it to be. You only have one life, but if you live it correctly once is enough.

I would tell my younger self, not to be involved in long term relationships. I would tell her to stay focused in school but it is okay to have fun. I would also say to investigate financial opportunities, internships and fellowship programs that lead to jobs. Do not rush in finding those opportunities because that is what will sustain you outside of college. Get recommendations and keep intouch with as many mentors as possible.

First off I would tell myself to manage my time wisely. Being in college you can be easily distracted so it is extremely advised that you prioritize what’s really important. Apply to colleges early and make sure you do everthing they ask for ex. personal stattements. Also many High Schools partake in the College Now program which is free and allows you to take college classes. This would be a great way to be introduced to the college life and the credits you earn can be transferable. Seek out all the opportunities given or are available to you. Also learn how to be independent since in college you wouldn’t have mom or dad to lean on or to constantly tell you what to do. Over all just make wise and responsible decisions as well as being proactive and please take the SAT’S seriously since it can be the difference between an acceptance or rejection college letter.

Not to get distracted and keep my eyes on the ultimate prize, also to remember that people come and go and that you are not going to school to please them or to help them out, you are going to school to get an education. I would tell myself that you need to miss as little classes as possible, and that even though the meal plan seems endless that it does have a definite stopping point. Lastly, I'd tell myself that it's not that important to have a boyfriend or anything like that, that school is far more important and that the right guy will come along soon enough.

If i could go back in time i would explain to myself that my girlfriend at that time would side track my collegic career. If it wasn't for her i would have graduated with at least 2 bachlor degrees and maybe a doctorate all because of "puppy love". I had the grades and the know how to succeed in all my endovers but was sidetracked and am now paying the price of a sophomoric freshman years of college.

College is the place to reinvent oneself and become the person you really want to be. I want you to choose a college wisely and not because your friends is attending the same college as you but because you feel it's the right place for you. Look for a college that is within your state and won't cost you and arm and a leg.

The past three and a half years of college have changed the course of my life forever mainly because of its ability to force me to discover what I am capable of in leadership, art, self discipline, helping others, self improvement and the realization that persistence equals inevitable achievement. It is like stepping into what real life will be due to the large amount of responsibility now placed on me. I have met really great people and now understand that no matter where I go, I always have the ability to find someone I can connect with. I never thought I would be the president of an honor society or win first place in a documentary film making competition, and no where else would these possibilities have existed for experiences in pure self awareness. Possibly the most important thing is the fact that the desire to complete college brings with it priceless challenges that would otherwise not exist in my life. Without them, I might not have had the self motivation to seek out such daunting tasks and learn the abundantly useful life lessons that come with them.

As a student, my Bloomfield College experience has been spectacular. I am among very driven and goal oriented students, as well as very educated professors and faculty members. It has been a great pleasure to be with such a diverse group of people learning from different cultures with everyone having an opend mind. As a nursing student, I will be able to accomplish of my goals in graduating and starting my career in the near future with the help of my fellow students and great professors. This institution has kept me a very good student with a 3.4 gpa. Although it is very expensive, the education itself with the good atmosphere and environment that surrounds me is worth every penny. Being in this college opens great doors for me especially in my field of study as a nursing student.

Self. Be prepared for any and everything to go right and to go wrong. Don't let the disappointments discourage you though. You're smart and everything put in front of you, you will get through, become stronger, and graduate! Love, Self

Don't be afraid to ask questions. If you don't exactly what to do right away, go speak to a counselor, advisor and/or a current student at the College. It would be helpful and it is a good way to make friends. Let yourself be heard or you'll might just go unnotice. Join clubs; be apart of your College, Their is more to than classes (I wish I learned that sooner) guaranteed, you'll enjoy college life a lot more. Mommy and Daddy aren't always there to hold your hand. It is your time to take care of yourself, be an adult and enjoy yourself at the same time. See you in three years Christina!
