Husson University Top Questions

I love the preparations you are making toward your future. You have taken steps to explore now if the career path you are choosing as a teacher is the one for you. You have volunteered in the classroom. You have familarized yourself with the inner workings of the school. You have kept your grades up and I commend you on this. You have spent your senior year, as a student naturally would, with a focus on the future. You know that your whole life is ahead of you and you can't wait to begin. It is wonderful and exciting. Hold on to those visions, that dedication, that drive, but remember...you have your whole life ahead of you. Life is about balance. Make it your goal to find one. Push forward toward the future, but keep yourself fully present in the now. Take in all that is around you. It has shaped you and molded you into who you are. Take time to enjoy all of those faces you may not see again. Say Hello to the kid you never spoke to. Ask the questions you always wanted ask and appreciate every moment. Fully live.

I 'm going to work harder in school to improve my grade point average and reseach all the information that i can find on difference Colleges that I would like to attend. I'm really going to take life more serviously.

I would give myself quite a bit of advice if I was able to go back and talk to my high school self. I would make sure that I learned the proper way to apply myself and how to study properly. Since being at college, I have learned that I never really learned how to study. That has been very hard for me since being here. I would also tell myself to stay true to who I am. I lost sense of who I am when I came here and I think if I was more comfortable with who I am to begin with, that wouldn't have happened.

My advice would be to save money! College is very expensive, take the time to apply for scholarships on focus on your grades. Get your GPA boosted and apply for every single scholarship available. And once in college work hard and everything will fan out fine.

I would tell myself, Kelsey, do not play it safe. Do not chose a school or a career path that you are going to feel you are stuck in. Chose a place that scares you a little bit, that will challenge you, allow you to find your self a bit. That is what college is about.

In the major I chose, it is hard to make friends because everyone is very competitive. I would advise myself to go out and make friends outside of the friends I knew before I came to Husson. I would worry less about my grades and more about the information I was learning. Good grades do not justify how much you actually retained from previous semesters. Lastly, I would breathe. College is stressful, but it is a learning point in your life. School can be horrifying, and an amazing experience all at the same time. If you can find something to do that relaxes you and gives you a break, do it!

If I could talk to myself as a high school senior knowing what I know now I would tell myself to learn how to study efficiently because not knowing how to is going to be my biggest downfall. I would also tell myself to be more open and less shy when it comes to meeting new people because everyone is in the same position of not knowing many people when they move away. Going from playing sports to not playing sports in college left me with a lot of free time that I didn't know how to use so I would tell myself to stick with a sport or do some volunteer work to fill in that time instead of doing nothing productive. The last thing I would do is tell myself to always stay true to who I am and take care of the friends who stick by through thick and thin because those are two important things to go to college remembering.

I think about the boy I was 3 years ago as a high school senior and I compare who I was then to who I am now and I feel I am almost unrecognizable. If I could go back in time and talk to myself, I would tell myself that college is going to be the turning point in my life, the point that makes me the man I will become. I would tell myself that the shyness and social anxiety I have carried with me all my life will disappear after just three months of much needed counseling. I would tell myself to not worry about your confidence level, because I will soon be able to shake off the things that the bullies have always tried to instill in me and walk with my head held high. You may not find a girl right away that could change your life but by time you got into your junior year, you believe you have found the love of your life. You can handle college, the academics, the social aspects; you will even become a major part of the student government. Your life is going to change forever, you just wait.

I would tell myself to be prepared to hit the ground running for here at Husson professors waste no time diving into course materials. They are very professional and knowledgable in their fields. I would tell myself to do exactly what I have done thus far. That is to take every class seriously, and to push myself on a consitent basis to learn more and complete material and courses at a fast rate.

If I could travel back in time and confer some wisdom about college life and how to transition I would compel myself to calm down. When I was looking at colleges I was stressed about how everything would turn out and how I would transition from high school to college. I did not know how housing would work or if I would like my roommate. I worried about the loans and how they would all work out. But when I got to college I realized that all that stress was not needed. My housing was fine; I am rooming with a great roommate. I received all the loans that I needed which paid for college and some left over for books. If I could give wisdom to my former self I would tell him not to worry.
