Brenau University Top Questions

I would have to tell myself that it is the right choice for you and not to wait too long before making a decision on going to college.

I would tell myself that its the best decision I could take, that is hard and it takes courage to go throught all the rocks that cross your way, you really need to keep in mind what u want and never give up, no matter how hard or how long it takes, the effort is greater but the result will give you the best life possible doing something you love, there is an opportunity for everything and if you take in the right time, things might be easier in the course of life.

I would simply go back and tell myself to go to college right away, at least finish your general eduaction classes. Even though I thought I knew what I wanted to go for, it has changed many times. Also living and money expenses are more than what you think they will be, be careful with your money, spend wisely. In this world education is everything, if you want to have a family and kids and be able to support them you are going to want to have a good job, so go out and get a good education so you can find a job with plenty of benefits and that pays a decent salary to be able to support that family that you want so much someday. Never give up, times will get tough, always pray and ask the Lord for guidence, cause he will be with you every step of the way.

Focus more on the future instead of the "right now".

If I could go back to senior year at hightschool, I would tell myslef that colleg is a lot harder then you think. You really have to be prpared and expect to study and pay attention durning class. The professors do not spoon feed you like in highschool classes, so make sure you take a lot of good notes . Stay positive! You can do it!

I would tell myself to study hard, I know it doesn't seem like you will ever use this stuff but it is important. You're smarter then a 'push button' job and you wont be happy until you are working with your hands and your mind.

If I had the chance to go back in time and advise myself during my senior year, I would have only one advice. My advice to myself would be to appreciate the books more, which the school system provided for us students. Books aren't free or cheap in college, and I realise now that they have a huge impact on my grade in college than they do in high school. I am keen in reading my books every night to study, as I was told to do in high school, but I didn't pay them much attention then.

I would advice that I look into more schools instead of choosing the one that accepted me first. I should have visited more campuses and found out what I really liked. I would also look at tuition prices more carefully.

Life is full of choices and everything has a consequence. From the time you enter into the 9th grade until graduation you are preparing yourself for college. Parties arent everything and sliding by with a C want make it. College is a very fun experience, but it can also be hard. There will be times when you wanna give up, times when you wanna walk away. Yet when the hard times come always remember that success without hard work is no real success at all. Because when you get to where you need to be, you will realize that every obstacle you overcame motivated you and made you stronger. I know that when you think of college you think of fun parties and step shows, but college is so much more. This will be the best experience for you and your gonna love it, but always remember that altough its okay to make mistakes, its what you learn from those mistake that make the difference.

This is my first year in college and to be honest I was very afraid that I would fail. I never been away from family for a long period of time and I was not convinced that I would be able to survive here by myself. I did it though I survived my first semester of college and now I'm in my second semester. I'm really glad that I chose to continue my education and that I am bettering my future. Being here by myself has shown me how to be more responsible in my actions and decisions. I no longer have my parents who can get me out of trouble or tell me to get up for class. I learned that if I want to become a lawyer it's all up to me. I am my biggest obstacle and I know that I can overcome all this challenges. I will become an attorney and make my parents, family, but most importantly myself proud.
