Dalton State College Top Questions

If I were able to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself that college isn't as scary as you think. It takes more studying and more determination than high school, but it is well worth it. There may be rough patches along the way and you may be faced with a lot of tough decisions, but in the end you will look back and be glad that you faced it all head on. Be brave, be strong, don't doubt yourself. You don't know everything and you never will, but you can learn something new every day. Pay attention to the world around you, don't take it all for granted. Don't try to live so fast, it isn't a race to get there. And most of all I would tell myself to just live. College is an experience, not just an education. So enjoy it and make the most of it.

If I could go back in time and be a high school senior again, I would say to myself, I need to study harder and take more college prep classes. So far, I have had a good experience my freshman year as a college student. There have been adjustments that have had to be made, but I feel confident I am on the right road. I do wish that I had spent more time as a high school senior becoming more active in clubs and community. By becoming more involved, there would have been more opportunities for me to meet new people and hear new ideas.

It has been many years since I was in High School. With that being said, the first thing I would tell myself is- Go to college, do not wait. The most important things to know are to be sure of your major, this is your life long career, you need to pick something you will be just as passionate about 20 years from now. If you have questions, ask them. A proffessor doesn't know your falling behind, if you don't tell them. There are lots of resources available from counseling to tutoring- utalize them, that is what they are there for. Above all else, you must try. You can not be afraid of failing something you haven't done because if you knew what you were really capable of, you would see that you are going to make the Dean's list. Believe in yourself and reach for the stars.

If I were able to go back and talk to myself regarding college life, using the experiences I have had, I would tell myself to be to be ready to learn. Although most people would probably not agree with me, I feel everyone should be ready to learn and have a goal before attending college. Many young adults are pushed into attending college right after high school by their parents, teachers, and peers. The fact they are not ready to attend is never even considered. If they are not ready to go to college to learn and become a professional in whatever field you have chosen then they will not be able meet the challenges ahead. In conclusion, I would tell myself don't go to college because your friends are going, don't go to college because your parents say you have to, and don't go to college because it was preached so much in high schools you think that attending college is just the next step in life. In order to gain all of the knowledge you can from attending college you must know what you really want to do in life and be ready to learn.

I would tell myself to try harder at making all A's and gettig my GPA as high as possible. I would tell myself to apply to a lot of schools and don't stay home.

Go to college right after graduation because if you wait, chances are you won't go. Believe in yourself and your dreams and you can be anything you want to be. You need to stay commented with school & you will succeed abundantly. You can do all things through CHRIST JESUS who strengthens you. Good luck in your future & GOD bless!

I would advise myself to get prepared to wake up at 6am in the morning ano not go to bed untill aropun 12pm. Since i have a part-time job right after school, i can only do homework when i get home from work. i would also tell myself to be financially prepared. College tends to be very expensive. The cafeteria is food is very bad and there is not much variety so most students have to go out and have lunch off campus. this tends to get extremely pricey after a while. i would advise myself to not put off any work. most teachers assign big papers since the beggining of the semester and i have the bad habit of leaving everything untill last minute. i have had some bad expiriences because i am a procrastinator; thus, i would tell myself to hurry up and just do it. surprisingly, i still make straight As even if i write my papers the night before thye are due!! (which is always the case)

If I could go back in time I would tell myself not to stress about finding the perfect school to attend. I would tell myself that I should make the choice I want and not what my family thinks I should. If i could go back I would tell myself to think about the future more and plan out what I wnat to do and what I want to become. Looking over all that I ahve learned since high school I realize that if I had chosen my school as one of my earlier choices alot of things that have happened wouldnt have. I would tello myself that the school I attend now is the right one and that I should try my hardest to make my goals and dreams come true.

I really do wish I could go back in time. I would have taken college more seriously with my classes. I would have been more focused on the prize and not letting other people distract me from achieving my goals. I would also be more ambitious and push myself to worl harder because college is not supposed to be a breeze always. I would try out for anything and put myself out their more. I would tell myself to get more involved in the college. Do not just go to classes attend other events where you can meet interesting people. Also I would join a lot of clubs and try to be president or vice chair. It is very rewarding to have authority knowing that your decisions make difference in whatever you do. Just like Dalton State College's mottow "The sky is the limit." That is what I would tell myself.

I wish I would have studied out of the textbook more because every class that I've had so far requires me to read A LOT of information from the book itself. It also helps studying lecture notes as well because if you read ahead before class, you get the general idea of what class lecture will be about and the information will ideally, make more sense to you.
