Brigham Young University-Idaho Top Questions

I would tell myself not to wait to finish my schooling. I would advize myself to be more cautious as I chose my classes and worked closer with advising staff to reduce the number of unecessary courses. I would encourage participation in campus clubs and events. I would challenge myself to take on leadership roles and form close bonds with peers; develop open communication with professors who will later advocate for me, and to distinguish myself above other potential graduate applicants. Mostly I would tell myself to remember who I am and that I am worth every penny of my education.

Relax! It's not as big of a deal as it seems. Everything will work out. :)

Don't worry so much about fitting in. You can't fail to fit in if you just be yourself. Everybody here has homework so don't worry about ruining your social life by doing your homework. And when you take the Chemistry 105 class, study really hard! And the study groups are a great way to meet people.

Ah, the 2009 stench. There you are younger me. The biggest piece of advice I can give you for college is this. (whack!!!) Take your adderal. I know you are currently living in denial of our ADHD, but trust me, taking adderal will not only make it easier to do your school work, but it will also help you in your social skills. Trust me, it allows us to think at a more logical level. Next advice, read your scriptures. You need the hour of religion a day in your life to be well rounded. Learn how to take better notes. They will save your life in college. Stop playing so many video games. I only play every couple of days, and that is good for me. You have your entire life to play, focus now on your education. Finally, spend the next year before your LDS Mission preparing to serve your Mission. If I had done these things, I would be a lot better off than I am now. Well, it is time for me to go. Now where did I park the DeLorean?

Looking back as a high school senior, I would have told given myself a lot of advice before I went to college. But mainly I would have taught myself how to better manage my social life and my school life. I think if kids throughout the United States had a short class available to them to show how they could manage their time better in college, it would be very beneficial. I have had a wonderful social life my entire time in college, but I wish I would have applied myself more in school and gotten better grades. The last couple of semesters have been much better for me because I figured out how to have both a successful social and school life. And it has made all the difference.

I would definitely tell myself to focus on school more than work. I would try to get myself to go out of state for college because staying at home there are too many distractions and excuses to put off school until "next" semester, which may never come.

College is a whole new level of education. You MUST study and take detailed notes. Also it's recommended to stay ahead that you stay ahead, and ALWAYS ask questions. When it comes to essays write them early. When it comes to tests and quizzes, STUDY STUDY STUDY. Its also good to get to know people in your classes, especially the teacher. My most important advice, look for scholarships and DONT WASTE PRECIOUS TIME. trust me...you'll regret it.

When I was 22 years old I had aneuysm and stroke. My daughter was 2 years old and my son was 3 month. I had them in the bathtub and aneurysm burst. I can remember how it felt! I could not see out of my left eye. It was very bad. I had to learn all over again how to walk and talk. I can't use my right arm and 75{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of my right leg. I am VERY pround to be alive. I thank God for seeing my kids grow up. It is my time to spread my wings and gain knowlege!

There is no need to be nervous or scared. College life is so fun and easy. You will make loads of friends and you've got family nearby that love you. When you're stressed about deadlines, just breathe and relax. Don't procrastinate. If your roomates keep trying to talk to you while you study or do homework, go somewhere quiet to study. The classes you will take your first semesters will be easier than the classes you're taking now. A lot of your work will be review to help you remember what you're learning now, but there will also be new things. Take your math class seriously. It will help you a lot when you take math in college. Stay in close contact with Mom and get whatever help you need. Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. Oh, and eat right and drink lots of water. Exercise and synergize!

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself everything that I never knew as a high school senior. I learned as a college student that timing means everything in college life. When u play sports, you have to balance your time wisely. Having to practice everyday and having games every week makes doing your homework at a timely manner very challenging. Study hall is an athletes best friend in college because in study hall its possible to finish basically all your homework, projects, or even papers your have due for classes. Another important factor is staying focused. In college there are plenty of distractions that can easily take you off focus. In college there are many beautiful women that you never seen before, and there are plenty of parties to goto. If you let the women and partying take control of your schedule, there will be consequences. If you party too much, your going to start staying out late and start to get lazy . When that happens that has an affect on your academics. College is challenging but hard work and dedication will always help you succeed.

Looking back on highschool espicailly my senior year I would tell myself plenty of things. To start of I would say, dont worry about the friends that change or are changing in the process of senior year odds are upon graduation you all will never see each othe again. Another thing would be is take it easy, dont stress on your last year of high school and dont dwell on things that you are not allowed to do at the time. College is just around the corner and the expeince is going to be a good one you learn your pritoties and you learn more about who you and your friends are. High school is no joke non the less is it very differnt from college espcially here in texas, as a freshmen in college I see how the classes we took senior year that were suppose to "prepare" us did not. Never the less live your senior year as it is suppose to be; spent with people you want to be around and who give positive output to your doings and goals. Dont let anyone ever tell you "you cant" what you want to do is yup to you.

I'd have taught myself how to manage time, and how to use a planner. The biggest issue that I, and probably a lot of kids had, was how to use time well. I would have learned that I could save myself a TON of stress by getting the most important things done first. I also would have taught myself to value my relationships more. No back talking, no gossiping, no cursing, no kissing for the sake of kissing. I think I had a lot of friends that I wasn't nice to, or girls that I was interested in that didn't trust me. If I had handled those two things better, a lot of the issues I had in high school would have been resolved. The other thing I would have said is that things work out, and that a lot of the things that feel huge now are small, so it's best to make the most of them. Ultimately, what these three things would have given me is value of what matters most. For a senior, there's no better thing.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself that college life is wondrous and the transition is easy - - college fits you like a glove. I would tell myself to forget about all the negativity from your abusive parents - forget that you were told over and over that you would never amount to anything - because you have it in you to succeed and make a difference in this world. It has always been your dream to be an attorney, to serve the underrepresented and underserved, in particular homeless youth, since you know all to well what it is like to be a homeless youth. When you encounter situations that seem insurmountable, your indomitable spirit will see you through. Though I know you doubt it now, others will look up to you because of your standards and degree of caring for your fellow humans. Above all else, remember to breathe. In uncertain times a deep breath will center you and help you find the strength and knowledge to go on. Remember you have great study skills. Remember, most importantly, to read your syllabus!

The advice I would give myself is to be confident and to allow myself to succeed. I would tell myself that I can do whatever I put my mind to and to not let others bring me down and help me feel like I shouldn't try for what I want to do. I would tell myself that I am smart, I am knowledgeable, and I can learn and be anything.

The advice I would give my high school self would be to learn and practice good study habits! I enjoyed high school and was involved in many activites. I took honors and Adanced Placement courses and, though I did spend time studying, I didn't really see the value of it. I did well in my classes with or without focused studying and went into college expecting to have the same experience. My freshman year was a rude awakening as I struggled to keep my grades satisfactory. I found that I had to learn how to study while in the midst of extremely challenging courses. It felt a little like riding a bike without training wheels for the first time - wobbly and shaky, and a little terrifying. But I eventually found my balance, and I enjoyed my college experience more and more as my confidence in my ability to study and prepare for my classes grew. Although I value the lessons I learned as I struggled to succeed in my first year of school, how I wish I had learned to study earlier! This simple habit would have been such a benefit to me as a new college student.

Work hard, have fun, and remember to let the petty things go. You'r going to grow up alot in the next year, be ready for it.

If I could go back in time to talk to my high-school self, I would tell myself that life as an adult is very hard, so to enjoy your high-school life and do not rush it. College classes are a lot harder than high-school classes. You should also be sure of your major before you get too far into college. You can always get your General Education done first, but it is never too soon to start thinking about which career you want to pursue. College is very hard, but it is worth it in the long run, when you finally have that career that you have always dreamed of before. Life will always be full of trials and tribulations, but it is how you handle each obstacle put in front of you that truly matters. As long as you are actually learning from your mistakes, even from others' mistakes, it is only then that you are truly able to evolve to your fullest potential. I used to run from the obstacles and lessons in life every chance I ever got, but now I welcome them with open arms.

Well to start with i have not graduated from high school. Im attending to a high school (Wilkes Early College High School) which is also a college. My high school is located in Wilkes Community College. Im attending for my high school diploma and my two year degree. The program is a five year program. But not for me, im ahead of my fellow students. What I mean by that is that i have skeped 5 high school classes and have placed out of many college classes. Which places me two years ahead of my fellow students. My GPA is also above a 4.0 for my high school and my GPA for college is a 4.0. But if I could redo my Freshman year, I should of tried my hardest in all my classes. Out of all my classes one math class was online. The class had no due dates for each assignment. Sense their was no due dates I just took my time and did whatever i wanted to do. I ended up having many of my assignments finished on the last week of the semester. I should of finnished when I was suppose too.

Do everything you can to do well now, while it's so easy and it'll help so much in the long run. Work hard and learn to study and not procrastinate. Take as many classes with credits that will transfer to a university as well. Time goes by so fast, and then you're moving on. Learn how to be a good student sooner than later. It makes things so much easier!

If I could go back in time and give myself some advice when being a high school senior I would definitely tell myself to be involved. I would tell myself to join leadership and clubs and go out and meet new people. I would remind myself to keep my grades up because they really will matter in the long run. I would also remind myself to put myself on my college pathway at the beginning of the year; begin to apply for scholarships, start applying to not one, but many colleges, and try as hard as I can to find a part-time job to raise up money for college.
