Fayetteville State University Top Questions

I would tell myself that it is difficult to find a good fit for college, but it can be done if you do the proper research. I think that you have the pick the best school for you and not your parents. Every college has its strengths and weaknesses, but many may not be a good fit for you. The college may be good on the ratings and on paper, but not the best for what you are interested in to study. I think you should take this decision very seriously. Also, you should look at the alumni network and see if they help their graduates to make career advances. This is one of the most important networks to have when leaving college. I think that you have to look at many variables to make this decision. College is like your first job in the the real world and you must make the right decision to get to the next step in life. Please continue to focus on your grades because your first employer will want to see these. Your success and work does not stop after you graduate from hight school it only continues through life and college.

Princess, always make sure that you are prepared. Not only does life has its ups and downs; however, school does as well. Make sure that you are focused on the most important things such as your school work. Stay balanced between social life and school life. Prioritize and use your tme wisely, the sooner you get your work done the better. Do not procrasinate and always cooperate. Be smart, make the right decisions and you'll be just fine entering college.

Young 18 year old Tish!!! Slow down! I know you are exicted about life but slow down. Think before you make decisions. Do not allow yourself to be distracted. The cafe is not your friend. Those 15 pounds will sneak upon you, then fight to stay. Young love is dangerous and not definite. Nothing is more important that your education at this point. Dont forget you will be the first in your family to recieve a degree. That is your focus. Find a good financial aid counselor that will not jusst rush you along. There is a cap for financial aid, so be careful before you drop classes. You can not get that money back. Do not take loans you do not need. There are loans, they must be paid back. do your own research. Find scholarships and grants that your school do not mention, there are tons out there. Stay focused on future and not right now. The quickest decisions can have the most detrimental consequences.

1. Don't act like such a "freshman." Enjoy the college experience, but don't jump in face first because you'll get hurt. 2. SCHOLARSHIPS! SCHOLARSHIPS! SCHOLARSHIPS! They are out there you just have to apply. 3. Take your classwork seriously because you haven't seen many bad grades in your lifetime, and you don't want to start now.

The advice I would give to myself if I could go back in time to my senior year in high school is dont let senior year make you think slacking off is an option. I understand that you are a senior in high school and senior year is told to be the best year of high school but education and college will be the best experience of your life. Going to all the parties, skipping out on classes, not doing assignments becausee its the final few weeks of school is not an excuse to slack off. You must give 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} in all that you do, never stop giving up and push as hard as you can and when you think you can't push anymore push even harder. Faith, hope, determination, and GOD is all you need to get through your senior year. Of course you can enjoy a few laughs here and there but don't let it become a distraction to where you can't complete your goal of graduating high school. You have all summer to have fun and enjoy yourself but as of now during your senior year you need to focus. I believe in you!

This is your last year of high school and I would imagine that you believe that you are well prepared for college, but there are some things that you may not be aware of. College is not like high school, it is very different and you will have to study more. You will be able to pick your own schedule, which is a plus. You will now be in control of whether or not you go to class, so choose wisely. You will be treated as an adult so, unlike in high school, no one will hold your hand. There will be people that want to help you and some that just want to work off you. The best advice that I can give you, is for you to learn what is your most efficient way of studying because once you know that you will succeed in college.

The first thing I would advise myself if allowed to go back in time would be to manage my time wisely. A successful college student has to know how to manage their time to get everything they need done properly and efficiently. Time management not only helps with college success,but success in your career ,and your life. I would also advise myself to keep all my notes from high school,because transitioning from high school to college courses requires a strong knowledge on elementary basics learned in high school. Finally,last but not least,I would advise myself to get my GPA as high as possible being that many scholarships are based off your high school GPA. Thank You for reading!

The advice I would give myself is taking time with time. I am a first college graduate in my family and was going to college with new outlook on life. I never heard of the campus life, nor have I heard experiences about college life and the only thing that I have obtained from what to expect out of college was that it took four years to complete and because of that I felt like I rushed through my academics and did not fully meet the potential I had. I would most certainly take my time to get to know all of my professors, greet with more students, introduce my face and name to the administration, and also participate in various activities. I enjoyed my college experiences but I feel like I would have enjoyed it more if I did not rush it. I felt like I did not have time to enjoy being a student but I had to complete school and hurry into a career. I currently see that being a college student is worth the pace for it is the transition in one's life to learn what life is all about.

When i was a senior in high shool i didnt really think much of college so i barely passed just to get out of high school. So the advice i would give my high school self would be to prepare more so that my freshman year wouldnt have been so demanding. I would have also made sure i took the SAT more than once and prepared more.

"La'eeqa you think you have things covered for your up and comign college life, well you dont. Your time management will need a mager upgrade. The assigments that you will be given will drive you up the wall because you have a big problem with procrastination. Do not watch televison shows on yo laptop while doing homework, do not countinously go to the Chinese store, and definitly aviod the boy name Jacob who you will meet with in your first few weeks of college. Most importanly do not join the ROTC progam unless you sure it is what you want to do. All of there things will distract you beyond belife. Do not let anything distract you from any of your goals. You want to be a world renowned Pediatrican, you know the steps to get there. All you have to do is keep your grades up. If you want to become involved with the campus do that but make sure that it does not take up all of your time, tha includes studying an relaxing time.

* deep breath * Alright Jessica , you've made it to the top. It's not the time to play around just because you're a senior. You're applying and waiting to hear back from schools, don't take this as time to relax. Keep your head in your books and focus on your education. Don't worry about friendships right now. It's your degree that will be getting you a nice job and home, not your friends. People said we couldn't do it, Let's show them that we can. Make yourself proud !

I can't express to you in 200 words what it means to me to have this chance to speak to you. You are so capable, so fresh, so green to the world and I want you to stay that way. To see the world with those fresh eyes but this time with a seasoned heart. I want you to know the future is more immense, wider, higher than you ever could imagine. You didn't realize that yet as you stood there teary-eyed , looking up at the caps and pretty red tassels in the air.

I have gotten a few things out of my college experience. I have gotten to know a few things that I am not a custom to such as failure and companionship. Another thing that i have gotten has been the ability recognize the choices that I have. Living on my own without family has giving me a quite a view on what I must do for myself without being told, asked, or forced into doing. On campus I feel like my own person and not a person under my parents. Knowing that it is only me here and that what happens here depends only on what I have to do is something that I value highly now. This gives me the view that this life is now mine and i have to do what is good for me without worring about bad influences. This college has given me a challenge to test myself and succeed and I value that more then anything.

Overall my college experience has been challenging but also educating in various aspect of my life. Attending college has help me boost the way i think; I feel like I have matured physically, mentally and socially. Attending college has changed my life, it has brighten the way i see my future, it is an experience that has created more opportunities for me in life, I thank God for such an opportunity.

In my college experience these past three and a half years, I have received many things. From personal to educational experiences and oppurtunities, I am truly grateful for my experience. On a personal and social level, I have come to learn who I am as a person and what kind of people I tend to associate myself with. I have an incredible network of friends and associates in whom I've bonded and learned several things from and vice versa. On a educational level, I have received an excellent education and have learned so much. I was even able to participate in a Study Abroad oppurtunity in Spain, a once in a lifetime oppurtunity. It has been valuable to attend FSU because I come from a family where going to college is not highly stressed and is not always an option. Being able to attend college has been one of my life's best experience. If I had to do it all over again, I would not change a thing.

College life has been one of the greatest experiences for me. I have learned that no matter what I do in life, I will be a success. What I have learned in the classroom has become an integral part of my life, it has made me into the person I am today. If I had not attended college, I would not be as objective as I am. I came to school so opinionated, so fixated that I knew what was right for everyone else. Education has allowed me to understand that I can learn so much from the other person and listening is the greatest skill to adopt. Another lesson that I have learned from my experience has been that I can choose to start my life over and be whatever I want to be. I don't have to stop dreaming of achieving my childhood dream, I can become what I have only imagined to dream. I don't have to feel limited to pursue a college degree because of my age because age doesn't define me. I am getting younger as I pursue my passion and that is why my college experience has been so valuable.

Attending college has been a trying but an rewarding experiecnce that I wouldn't take for granted. Entering college has given me a new look on myself and what I am capable of doing and becoming. College life for me was a big change being on my own and having to do things for myself as best as I could. I've realized that I can make it in this world and make right decisons bassed on my convictions. This experience has made me shead many tears and have sleepless nights but I know that it's going to work out for my good. This experience has been very valuable because I wouldn't have known of my capability and that I am able to speak up for what I believe in and feel strongly about. I know that once it's all said and done that I will be a successful business woman with a story to tell other young females. Letting them know that it may be hard at first, but as long as you pray your able to pursue anything you put your mind to and know that you are strong.

My college experience at Tallahassee Community College has provided me with great problem solving and study skills which allow me to quickly adapt to new design programs, classes, and tasks. I've become acclimated with the Computer Aided Drafting program to a point where I could teach and have taught its basic functions and skills to others along with the drafting by hand skills, math and visualization skills needed to understand and produce accurate and intelligible plans for production design. Currently in Calculus Three, I have completed all other prerequisites to enter into the engineering program at FSU and my education at T.C.C. has been very helpful and I think better than what I would have received in larger classes which don't cover the material as thoroughly as my physics professor says T.C.C.'s math and science professors do. Thus I feel the value of my attendance at T.C.C. is greater than any other opportunity given to me could have been and I am very appreciative of each teacher I have had and of their motivation and skill at conveying the subject material as well as a few life lessons.

I have gotten many things out of my college experience. It is helping me through my transition from a child to a young adult by giving me many responsibilities every single day. It is also helping me realize that I have to make the right decisions from now on in order to be successful and to accomplish my goals. I am definitely more focused in college than I was in high school. I has been valuable to attend college because I do not want to make the same mistakes that my siblings have done. I look at them as my motivation to continue through school and get my degree. It is also valuable for me because I will be the second person to graduate from college in my family if i graduate and that is very important to me. College is a necesstiy for me because I want a good job in the future that I will not regret working hard for. I want to be able to look back on my days in college and be proud of all that I have accomplished and the journey I had to go through to get to that area in my life.

My college experience thus far has been one that I love. I get to interact with different kind of people who come from different backgrounds and have different goals in life from my own. College has taught me to be more open in doing things and having more aspiration than usual. I am able to get the help that I need and work towards my goal. My college experience is filled with more than education. It is also filled with fun experiences, such as going to parties and games and cheering for my school. I was able to learn and practice time management in college. I know when to get things done on time and when to put my priorities first.
