Morgan State University Top Questions

The first advice I would give would be prepared for those sleepless nights. I would urge myself to avoid procrastinating and began assignments promptly. I would recommend not being consumed with only trying to get good grade but enjoying other activities my college has to offer. My last but most important advice would be learn all you can be never forget who are and what brought you to the point where you are now.

When I entered my senior year of high school I treated it just as I had treated all of my education leading up to it. My main goal concerning my education was to complete the work that was set before me. Throughout my high school years I was homeschooled and while working with my parents it was determined that the main focus of high school would be to achieve my diploma. While working to achieve the diploma was rightfully a good goal, it being the only goal resulted in a problem. That problem was I never worked towards other goals that would be beneficial to my future. If I could go back and talk to my senior self I would advise myself to work towards a college goal. I would recommend looking at colleges that were good for me and, most importantly I would press myself to find a passion that I could use to assist myself in finding a career that is right for me.

Being a college student is a far different life than being a high school student. High school is an education system whose principles are based upon providing a broad education experience, while college is an education system that focuses on a single field of study. College classes expect the majority of work and studying to be done by students outside of the classroom, and students that do not study outside the classroom do not earn the high grades others are achieving. Good advice from a college student to a high school student would be to think more about the future, and to plan on what goals to set and how to achieve them. A common goal to create would be setting an achievable GPA to work for. Many students create much more stress for themselves by setting a very high GPA and underachieving that goal than creating a goal they can achieve. Creating a study schedule to follow habitually, determine the best methods of studying, and balancing a work and school schedule are good skills to work at also. The best way to prepare for college is to eat, sleep, and breathe like a college student.

I would tell myself to study the most i could.

Dear Chikere, I am your past writting to your present. If you could go back to the days when you were a high school senior the main advice I would give you is to do more research into the college life, appy for scholarships, and be more involved in high school. College is a great networking place If you were more involved in acadmic clubs or perhaps sports paying for school probably would have been a breeze. You should have applied for scholarships and never doubted yourself because with faith anything can happen. I know the past is the past but its never to late to try for a better future. But, regardless of your high school decisions you are still paving your acadmeic success in college. I am proud of you. sincerly, Your high school self.

The advice i would give myself is to make the necessary financial arrangements. while matriculating through my first year in college , i knew for a fact that i did not do all the research that i should have. Another thing i would tell my high school self is to never go without buying books and to never let anyone get best of you.

Find a mentor or an upperclassmen that will give you great advice and can guide you to make the right decisions. Take your school work seriously because you want to get the most out of your learning experience. Even though you may be hesitant look to get involed with an on campus organization, or play a sport. As far as roommates are concerned, only room with people you really know and trust and make sure you have your own room that can be locked and unlocked with a key. Make sure you have a job, preferably on campus, so you can have money for typical expenses. Try not to be a reckless spender in the event you receive a refund check, save as much as you can without buying things you absolutely dont need.

The advice I would give to my high school self would be to slow down and enjoy life. I fought so hard against my parents to getout and do things I wasnt ready for and now that I have done the stuff I ask was it worth the fight? But thats just a hard headed kid for you thinking the grass was greener on the other side. I would tell myself to take school more serious and realize my potential and propel farther. I would tell myself to take some college classes and try harder in my AP classes. I would tell myself that ny petty things that happen during high school isnt that important. I would tell myself to make sure not to stress myself out and enjoy life in the moment

Punishing yourself for past mistakes helps no one, and can actually prevent you from being successful in college and in life. When you mess up (as you will many times), don't beat yourself up for it. Mistakes serve a purpose-- self-education. Analyze what happened, what you did, and the results of your actions. Consider what you could have or should have done instead. Take comfort in the fact that you have learned from your errors and that you now know how to avoid repeating them in the future. Do what you can to minimize any hurt you may have caused to others AND to yourself. Once you have done these things, you don't have to make yourself feel bad about screwing up. The mistake has served its purpose; it taught you something. You've done what you could to make things right, and you won't make that mistake again. Remember, being perfect isn't the point. You're learning, just like you're supposed to. Yes, it hurts and gets you down a lot, but even the happiest people have made grievous errors in their past. They learned from them and moved on. You can, too.

I would tell myself to not slack off in high school, and play around in certain classes. To start thinking about college and what my major should be right off the back. To do research about colleges based on the professors, teaching regarding my major, and other things like cost. Become active in shadow activities to learn about what I would like to do later in life when I decide to go to college.
