California University of Pennsylvania Top Questions

Never doubt yourself! My last expectation was to accomplish my goal into being admitted into my favorite university.

i would tell myself that college is way more important than high school. high school is just to prepare you. college is definately harder and it requires way more than you expect. i would tell myself that sports is not everythng academics come first. with out the good grades it can be very hard to get a job. just because you have a degree doesnt guarentee a job. employeers wll ask for your GPA.

I would tell my self that you got a very tough road ahead of you. There is going to be a lot of different things pulling at you. When you get there take the time to look at everything and make sure you put attention to certain things in a certain way. Do not let social life overtake academics. Academics always come first and social life is after. But I want you to have fun, so do not drown yourself in homework. Just do what you can to find a happy medium between everything, and when it comes to work, do not procrastinate, you do not want to be in a financial situation that you do not want.

I would tell myself that there are great people waiting for me at college, and I have nothing to worry about. I would remind myself to always make the best decisions and put all my faith into God.

See and visit a bunch of schools to get a better determination of what is the best fit college.

I would tell myself to stop caring so much about what people think of you. You learn who your real friends are once you get out of the high school environment, and you make new friends who you just know are going to be your friends for the rest of your life. It's also okay to not know what you want to do with your life - a lot of people still don't know what they want to do after college. It's all right to be a little bit scared of life after high school, but you shouldn't let that stop you from achieving your goals and dreams. Just remember to try as hard as you can, but also make sure you have a little bit of fun on the way.

I would first tell myself not to take the time off between high school and college because it was seriously hard to make myself return for education. Then, I would join the military earlier and have those benefits help me get through school easier without having to worry about tuition and fees as much. I would know not to be as shy and to get out there and try to make the friends because everyone else who is new is always just as afraid of putting themself out there. I wouldn't worry as much about what people thought of me, and I would focus more on just being ME.

Never give up on your dreams.

College so far has been the best experience of my life. I am involved on campus, have great friends and roommates, and am doing well academically. Making the transition from high school to college was difficult at first, though. Suddenly, I was away from home and I didn't know everyone or have connections with my teachers. My work load got heavier and it was hard to balance fun and school work. Knowing what I know now, I would give myself several pieces of advice. First, to go to any clubs or organizations I am interested in to find out more about them and get involved. Second, to not be afraid of meeting new people and getting to know them. Third, to remember that even though all of the social activities are fun and exciting, it is still important to learn and work toward my future, so don't let anything get in the way.

I would give myself the advice to just study a little harder and give myself freetime as a reward.
