California University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

I would tell myself to make friends in classes and go out to meet people. I would also say study hard it isn't as easy as high school. Also, get involved in clubs and extra curriculars.

If I were just now starting college, I would advise myself to work a lot more while going to school. I would be very focused on acquiring a lot of savings so that I could further my education after I received my bachelor's degree and attend culinary school; which is what my current plan is. I would also advise myself to be a lot more involved in extra-curricular activities; clubs, sports, sororities, etc., so that more scholarship and grant opportunities would be available to me.

I would love the opportunity to talk to myself as a high school senior. Some things I would tell myself would be... Believe in yourself- you are capable of far more than you think.

Dance- I didn’t start dancing again until my fourth semester into college. I lost sight of how much I loved it, take advantage of any chance you can to dance. Friends- The friends you make may be temporary, but your friends from home will always be there for you. And of course your family!

If I could go back and have a conversation with my “past” self about the transition into college, the only advice I would give would be to hang in there. Within every new endeavor in life, hardships and obstacles often come into play, which can seemingly make it easier to give up and throw in the towel than stick to the road ahead and persevere. Many things have happened throughout my college career, which would have made others quit and say “I tried”. I always held myself to a higher standard than others, believing that I could achieve what I put my mind to, and that quitting was not an option. Taking online courses is no exception, due to the amount of dedication and self-motivation that is required. I am very proud to say that I am a Graduate of California University of Pennsylvania, and I succeeded.

If I were to go back in time and give myself advice about the high school to college transition I would tell myself to try your hardest, nothings impossible and to open to new things. I would choose this advice because when I first started college it was completely different than what I was use too. Now that I have grown up some and adapted to the collegiate world I now know that it is possible to do well in every class. I would also tell myself to be open to new things that you will be exposed to in college.

Through my college Experience at California University of Pennsylvania I have gained a great deal of independence to live on my own, get involved in clubs, make friends, and better myself through continuing education. I have learned alot thanks to the helpful and knowledgeable teachers I have had to gain real life scenarios of what we are learning and how to apply it to the rest of my life. Through my participation in the Sttudent MarketingAssociation at CalU I have been able to attend networking events in New York City, and learn great lessons about resumes and how to appropriately use social networking to set myself apart in the work force. Going to CalU has given me confidence to make my own decisions, and be in chargeof my own education to help me post graduation to make an impact in the community and work force.

Out of my college experience so far i have made great friends with my peers and teachers. My friends help me get through school, and make it easier to study and learn new things. My teachers are great and are always there to offer extra tutoring and help! I have gained alot of knowledge in college as well. I think being in classes you CHOOSE to be in, keep you interested in school. My major is nursing, so for example, i love school so much becuase it focuses on MY interests. College has been very valuable to me, because it is going to take me places in life. I am going to graduate college and pursue a career in nursing. College is overall a great place to be. You learn, you make new friends, and it helps you become a successful person.

I have gotten an amazing education, urging me to continue on to a Master's level to become more educated and successful. I have also gained lifelong knowledge and friends because of attending college. It is an experience that could be valuable to everyone!

Some might say that the following things aren't of value, but noone can agree on anything these days. Thats why there exists opinions that everyone is entitled to. So here's mine. I Iove college. I love the idea of learning, which is probably why I want to become an elementary school teacher. I want others to love school as much as I do and learn valuable life leasons. My college experience has had its ups and downs. I've enjoyed the diversity of students and teachers, but at times they can be the reason you are on anti-depresants and are currently taken energy drinks to stay awake in class. College has taught me that procrastination is clever, if you can get away with it, but a pain in the butt if your prof doesn't appreciate your last minute essay. I've learned that there is honestly nothing more important than an education, besides the value of friends and the love of family. My experiencs in college have taught me that perseverance is the key to success, oh and of course actually going to class might have something ot do with it.
