Georgia State University Top Questions

I'm very happy at school now, but as a senior I was bullied. I always kept a smile on my face and stayed strong, which led to my joy at GSU now. So, the advice I would tell to myself and my friends was important in that it motivated us to be successful for ourselves. I constantly reminded myself of my strength and determination. I worked hard for myself, and I've grown into an intelligent philanthropist that constantly helps other victims like I was once. I'm so proud that I am here now, even though I thought high school would last forever. I can't wait to become a teacher and help inspire my students the way I was. It shaped me as an individual and I'm very grateful for that. I would tell myself that no matter what, I was, and still am, my compass in life. I shape my own destiny and I'm going to carve out the best future for myself and everyone around me.

Elizabeth, hey, listen here's a few words of advice about being a high school senior and your transition to college. First: GO TO CLASS! I'm sure you know this is very important, but honestly making a habit out of it now will help you in the long run. And going to class in college is very important and it only helps you. Second: Study! Study! Study! You want a social life, and social networks are incredibly distracting, however, social networks will do nothing for you in the future, and your future is based largely on studying. It will help you in a way that you will only understand your first you of college. Three: Live on campus. It helps with all the distractions. At home you are always open to distractions. At a dorm thousands of other people know exactly how important it is to study and this will do more than help. And fourth: Have fun! Education is important but do not let the stress get to you! Take one night off once a month. And relax! Your senior year and college are the best moments of your life! Enjoy! Sincerely, Future You.

First, get out there and sculpt the life you want for yourself. After starting college, I discovered that maintaining a 4.0 GPA was keeping me from taking risks that I needed to take. Once I realized this, I opened up to things that I never could have imagined, including going on a college trip halfway around the world. Secondly, don't be afraid to embrace your passions. During the year and a half that it took me to realize that I had to be a filmmaker, I felt like I was missing out on something. So, I transferred to another school to pursue a degree in filmmaking while continuing to pursue a degree in business. Lastly, don't be so wrapped up in trying to find the right woman for yourself. Your ultimate goal is to be the optimal man that you are meant to be. Women will come looking for you once they see this.

Also speaking of money spend , and save it wisely!! you never know what couold happen in life. And stay observant girl thats a prize talent there.

If I could go back to my senior year of high school, I would advise myself to take school more seriously. In high school I cared about working, friends, and getting by in school. I knew I was smart, but because of that I also knew the bare minimum required to pass classes and move from grade to grade. I would tell myself to look at the friends that I was spending my time with and think about whether or not they had my best interest at heart, and if they would pull me down or support my dreams. There are so many individuals I called friends in high school that I have not talked to in years.If I could go back, I would tell myself that I am so much smarter than I ever thought I was, and only great things can come from working hard. I can’t express how much I’ve amazed myself alone by just trying and setting goals. I would tell myself to take every opportunity that would better my future, and not just let them pass me by. Finally, I would tell myself that I can make a difference in the world.

If I could go back and talk to myself, the first I would say is to take more AP classes and do better on the tests to exempt more classes. Despite receiving financial aid, still apply for more scholarships. This willgive you more spending money for the school year and help pay for the textbooks which cost so much. Lastly, work harder now so that you can get into your first choice school that you applied to instead of Georgia State University. These are the things I would tell myself if I could go back in time to my high school days.

Pay attention in class and manage your time. Your biggest problem will be letting your social life getting in the way of your school work. Study more, but don't completely cut out your social life, just tone it back some.

I would tell myself to be more career focused and study focused. When you compare highschool and college, they are very different. If any student would mentally prepared themselves ahead of time, it would become a lot easier for that student. Also, being career focused always allows the student to have a goal and a desire in mind, which makes the whole college experience a lot easier. If I would have done the above, I would have not waited until the age of 23 to pursue my career of nursing.

Go ahead and attend college early and not wait. Wait to start my family after I have a success carreer to take care of my family. Work and enjoy life and make friends. Other things in the world like clubbing, hanging with friends can wait. Get your business together so you will not have to depend on others for money. You have a career and a good job to support your family.

To be quite literal, if I had the oppurtunity to go back and talk to my high school counselor. I would not say anything for the sole fact that before I attended the university I knew all about what school I was about to be going to and its characteristics. Nothing came as a surprise and I love every second of it.
