New Mexico State University-Main Campus Top Questions

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior the advice that I would give to young Angel would be to not be afraid of having to work and go to school at the same time because one day you will eventually graduate and the whole agony that you will have to go through will later be one of the best times in life.

Do not take college lightly.

I would tell myself to take more AP classes so that I could be at a better pace than I am now, and to apply for more scholarships to help pay for books and tutution.

To study harder and longer, not stay out so late on nights before a test, save more money!! Focus and school and everything else will fall into place. Don't worry about laundry when you have a 7 page paper due the next day.

Well I haven't decided quite yet if it is better to pursue the dream school of keep the loans at a minimum. My majors are both Kinesiology and Journalism, so NMSU works because it's an accredited Journalsim school and also one of the few with a Kinesiology program. I would probably tell myself to just go to NMSU, I've met great friends and people and have excellent opportunities. I wish I could have afforded out of state tuition of course, however I remind myself that cutting costs now helps my dream to study abroad in Austria next year. Plus, college is college there are great people and opportunities wherever you go.

Be smart with your money. Jobs are hard to come by and you're going to need to pay for important things later. Don't be afraid to speak up, speak out, or otherwise make yourself heard. There are people out there who are just as interested in the same things as you are, and they love to hear from you. Grow and blossom.

I would tell my past self to get more involved in campus activities and socialize more. Also, to work harder in my classes to get the grade I know I could have gotten if I had just tried harder. I would also tell my senior self to get a job and save up money for college.

I would tell myself to not worry. You don't have to have your life mapped out before you even choose your college. College is the time for you to explore your options, find out what you want from life and work towards that goal. Live your life with happiness.

I would have to say to myself, " Really think about what is important in life, what are your priorities. A higher ACT score and a better grade in English could have saved you a lot of money. Sure, you were homecoming queen, part of major food fights and had a huge group of friends, but i think some of that time could have been sacrificed. As boring as school is and as much as you hate it now, you're going to regret being so lazy."

I would tell myself to study more and focus, save more money and to really listen to the teaches because they are really trying to get you ready for college and not just trying to scare me because college is real and its hard to dont mess up now because you don't want to mess up your future because your future starts now.
