College of Southern Idaho Top Questions

I would say to myself, "Learn now about investments, scholarships, and other resources and work hard at learning even though you are extremely busy. My progress in gaining financial freedom is slow because I am trying to learn to manage money while taking care of a family, attending school, and working. Start now, learn how to get money to work for you and save yourself a great deal of trouble." Second, I would also tell myself to, "Participate in group discussions that occur randomly after class. It helps to solidify the material you learned in class. It also helps you to master the material as you will have abundant opportunities in the discussions to explain concepts in your own words.

Self, I’d like to warn you about the new adventure we’re embarking on. I have been in college for almost three years and it has been fun, but we definitely haven’t made it easy. For starters, we are a people pleaser which does nothing but bring us down. We can’t go to school for dad, although she is our mother we have different interests, and just because we’re the youngest doesn’t mean we should let our siblings live through us. On this note we shouldn’t close ourselves off from outside opinions just remember they are opinions. Even though our family is important to us moving away from home is a great idea to learn to rely on ourselves. Second, if we don’t start producing a better way to study and actually retain the information we are going to have a rough awakening to college life. For some reason, we never grasped the idea that everything was building on itself; we just studied enough to pass and graduate. Third, don’t be afraid to gain a new social circle. College is a time to have fun, don’t wait to find that out.

Highschool was supposed to be the best years of your life, if i could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior I would tell myself to let it be.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior in high school, I would tell myself to continue my studies until my education is complete. I would tell myself not to worry about marriage or kids, just finish school until I become a pediatrician. Just because I have my son does not mean that I can not finish school. In fact, no matter what happens in life there is never an excuse to not finish school. Always finish what you start, live out your dreams no matter how much work it takes to get there. College will be hard, life can be harder, and sometimes the transistion is horrible. However, its only as hard as you make it or want it to be. Life is a lesson. Try your hardest in school, study your hardest and take all the help you can get.

I would give myself the advice to save up money so I wouldn't have to worry about it during college. I would also tell myself to go to a school that is not near my house, where I can just fous on my studies. I would tell myself that you need to save up enough money so you don't have to worry about anything and you can go and finish your schooling without any hassels. I would also tell myself not to take on so much stuff and not to wait until the last minute to do everything. I would also tell myself to stay very organized and to keep on top of everything.

Life changes so much the first year you move out and start your own life. In many ways college is a frightening experience, the insecurities of meeting people, the awkwardness of the first day in a new dorm, but at the same time, college can be a wonderful place full of excitement, and freedom, where a person can define who they are as an individual. Looking back now at my senior year of high school, I realize how iindependent I was. I felt like I could do everything on my own. I did not need help. And although I applaud myself now, I know that I could have made greater leaps if I would have sought the correct help. It?s okay to ask questions if a person is unsure of how to apply for financial aid, and it?s okay to not know what your major is. If you do know, never let someone say you cannot achieve it. We are all entitled to our own dreams and no one has the authority to tell us otherwise. High school seniors, college is the best experience you could ever have. Be sure in yourself, and everything will fall into place.
