Kentucky State University Top Questions

If I could travel back in time to my senior year of high school, I would tell myself that to truly experience college you need to live on campus, participate in everything you can and put yourself out there to meet new friends in these school settings. I would tell myself not to get caught up in the partying lifestyle that some students engage in on campus. I'd remind myself to work as hard as I could and remind myself of the life that I want in the future. I would remind myself that the past is the past, there's nothing we can do, but to bring the lessons it taught us to the future. I would say it's ok to be overwhelmed and spend the weekend lulling on the couch reading a book or watching a movie, but not to make a habit of it. Mostly, though, I'd tell myself that no matter what happens I am strong enough to push on through and succeed on the other side, because I already have overcome so many obstacles.

If I was able to go back in time I would have taken some of my high school courses a little bit more serious.

continue to set high goals for myself in life keep working hard helping people out strangers etc studying read more books to better myself even more not to slack off and wait till the end of the year to start trying to rush to get my grades back up for sure hahahaha i really think i would tell myself to stay after class get that extra help relook over my school work alot and to make sure to write down every little single word that the teacher says in class keep my head in the books more then trying to get on the field to play football

To study more and socialize a little less.

The advice that I feel would be most helpful is staying open to new experiences. There are so many different experiences to be open to such as friendships, clubs and organizations, classes, food and extra curricular activities. I have taken a variety of classes and worked with a variety of people which have enriched my college experience. I feel that as a new college student I was shy and fearful of making a mistake that I did not engage in as many opportunities as I could have. Thankfully as time passed I grew and embraced the diversity. I believe that staying open to new experiences is good advice not just for my high school senior self to anyone starting out in college. Non-traditional students have the same reservations, sometimes more, as graduating high school seniors. Simply put...try.

Dear Me as a Senior in High School; Before you embark on this insane journey of college, please just listen to your sister. She's right. She is always right (almost) go to Kentucky State. Research colleges very thoroughly. Don't make any rash half-thought out choices. If you do you'll just end up wasting too much time and let yourself get behind everyone else.

Being in College and just getting the gist, I would advise myself to the number one priority which is pay very close attention. It has to be worthy of getting assignments done when given to with it being ready the next day for the instructor recieves it for delivery. If grades are falling, there shouldn't be any typical leisure time unless the grade is back where it needs to be. College is an educational tool used in order for preparation towards a desirable career worth being a part of .

If I could go back in time to talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself that the time is now. It's the time where you need to get it together. Your grades, g.p.a, and test results might not matter to you right now, but you need to start caring because they will have a huge affect on you in the long run. It's important that you pay attention, stop being lazy, and be more responsible. As you get older you will see that if you had more education you would make more money. One day you will need that money. You couldnt get in the military because you can't pass their test. So what you do is apply for a minimum wage job that requires a high school diploma and no experience, but its not what you expected. Now your only option is going back to school. You get accepted. You ask yourself how your going to pay for school? Your trying to apply for scholarships but mostly all of the good ones require high or average standards and you have neither because you didnt do good in high school.

I would say to myself to work and study for the ACT because it really help you in the long run. I would also say to dream big and set goal to acomplish everything in your life. I would say get a job and save up money if your going to go to college because your going to need alot of stuff like laptop and food ect. Make your family stay out of stress buy telling them your going to college and save up money so they can also help you. Get a cell phone so you can always call you parent and let them know that your ok at the college your going to.

I would tell myself to give it my all. Procrastination is not your friend, and helping others can help you also. Because tutor sessions help in not only studing but in refreshing information. Procrastination only makes matters worse, while the early bird gets the worm.
