California State University-San Bernardino Top Questions

The advice that I would give myself would be to take as many math classes as I can. I liked math and I never really pushed myself to get ahead in high school with math. I would also tell myself to actually try and studied becasue Knowing how competitive schools are I could have done much better than what I did than. Instead of joining the auto academy at my school, I would have joinedthe Busincess Academy instead since that is the field I will be in with what I want to do when I graduate. A few more pieces of advice would be to have been more involved in clubs and actually be busy all the time and not wasting it. Last I would tell myself to study really really hard for the SAT's and to have took the ACT. I know I could have done better on it if I would have triedto studied for it.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would give myself lots of advice for attending college. First I would tell myself to do the best that I could in school and not to slack off get at least a 3.9 in all my classes. I would tell myself to take a job on campus and also live on campus or around campus. I would tell myself to not live with my parents. I would give the advice to not buy books from the campus bookstore but to buy books online to save money. Be more independant from my parents and friends. Study Statics more, don't work so much at your retail job at Best Buy. Have fun join study groups, go to social activites, go outside my group of friends and meet as many new people as you could. Live your life to the fullest and don't look for approval from other people besides yourself.

I would tell myself to apply for the university well in advance, so that I would be guarenteed a spot in the school. Also, do the best that I could do in college, because most jobs look for students GPA's as a requirement. Another piece of advice is do all the work, and submit it on time. Don't be scared to ask any questions that you may have. My last piece of advice is to go out and have fun. If you pass a class, go party somewhere, but don't do nothing too crazy.

I would advise myself to go to a community college first, and too apply early so that I could get better classes. I would push applying for financial aid and looking into every scholorship I could find. I would also advise myself to look into volunterring more as well.

I would tell myself that there is no need to be afraid about going to college out of state and that it would be a great experience. I would also tell myself to visit the different colleges I am considering and to truly research them and find out what they have to offer academically and socially. I would tell myself to also apply for many scholarships since they are very helpful and it is free money. I would tell myself to make sure that I get involved in different clubs and other extracurricular activities while in college. I would also tell myself to ask many questions and to not be afraid to go to professors for help or advice. Overall, I would tell myself to make the most of my college experience, stay focused, but also have fun.

I would not stress out about the little details and try to maintain a peaceful attitude. I would focus very hard on my class and not worry or stress what my major is going to be. I would enjoy the time being young and the lastly friendships that I will make. Life is too short.

I would have told myself to choose college carefully and done better in high school. Stay focused and be ready for college and just have fun, because college is about having fun while getting a quality education. It is the best years of your life and you should enjoy it.

I definitely would have told myself to try harder to get into college right away. I waited a long time after graduating to get back to school and I regret it.

If I were to speak to my Senior self, I would strongly recommend that it is important to focus on school and your long-term goals instead of living in the moment. I would also stress that procrastination is not the answer, and that time management is key in balancing a healthy academic and social lifestyle.

Knowing the difference between high school and college, I would definately make it clear that the study routines are completely different than high school. You learn that A's do not come easy and in order to do well you need to make decisions between what is known as the "college life" and studying. There comes a lot of freedom when it comes to college. Most proffessors do not assign home work so it is your duty to know when to study and how often you need to study in order to know the material for midterms. Some classes may only have two tests per term, if you blow one off, there goes half your grade. This is why studying and being responsible about your study habbits is very important.
