Ohio State University-Newark Campus Top Questions

I would definitly tell myself to prepare more. Senior year of high school I kind of slacked off, I was never really a bad student but that senioritis sure did kick in. If I would have worked a little harder I could have been awarded more scholarships. I have a lot of student loans I'm going to have to pay back, I WISH I would have worked harder at raising funds for college.

OSU Newark has provided you with the right general education requirements until you will transfer out-of-state for your major classes required for your major of marine biology. Even though this was a good choice, look more into Columbus State Community College as it is cheaper and your credits might transfer over easier. While at Ohio State though, make sure you always enroll into your classes as soon as possible because they are not first come first serve (they are based off of the amount of credits you already have in college). Math lab will be your friend throughout your math troubles and is very reliable. Always rent your books, never buy them if possible. Always take at least 15 credit hours per quarter so you will not have to cram in credits in order to achieve your goal of receiving an Associates Degree. Your transition from OSU Newark to Coastal Carolina University will be stressful, but always stay determined and motivated as it will be a huge step in acheiving your life long dream of marine biology.

Dear High School Self, Grades are important, very important! But, don't let them become all you are about. Remember the importance of some sort of a social life. Taking a break now and again and going out with friends isn't so bad. So, don't get too uptight. Just do the best you can. Take advantage of every opportunity! These opportunities will teach you to respect your community; the people have a lot to offer. There will be plenty of volunteer and intern opportunities, so don't hesitate. Just go for it! And of course, take the opportunities to get to know people through on-campus events, the honors program, etc. It's hard to get to know people well when classes only last for 10 weeks before you move on, so don't be afraid to put yourself out there and go to the various events. I promise you'll have fun!

I would tell myself, "You really did a good job your senior year in preparing yourself for college. Yeah, you may have slacked off a little towards the end of the year, but you still kept up your GPA." If there was a time in my life I could back and give myself advice would be me in 6th grade. I would let myself know what I'm capable of so I could strive to my full potential. By the time I was a senior, I had figured out what i needed to do to be successful and It really helped me out in college. There is always more I can learn and grow from ahead, and I have the tools necessary to handle it.

To study more and pay attention more. I was always a good student but I would want to tell myself to stop being lazy and get As isntead of Bs and to volunteer more. I would advise myself to get more help in Math because it is my weekest subject and I struggle in it daily. I would tell myself to take foreign language more seriously and to have actually studied for the ACT/SAT. That I should work more isntead of playing because money is definetly needed if I want to get a better education and scholarships aren't as easy as I fooled myself into believing they are.

Education is very important and you need to go college.

The advice I would give myself is to stay focused in school til the very last day and don't slack off because in college you can't slack or skip classes or you won't do good.

As a high school senior I worked hard to keep my gpa up and created goals to obtain a successful future, but the thought of college life stressed me out. I never really recieved support from my family to attend the college of my choice, rather I was told I would be attending the local college branch. All of this combined caused me to put attending college on hold. I never forgot about the goals I had set for myself in 2009 and decided it was time to enroll into college, and I did. Attending The Ohio State University regional Newark campus is the first step in achieving a successful future for myself, but now looking back, I wish as a high school senior, I would have attended college following graduation. My advice to myself would be to not get too stressed out and to follow my heart and make my own decisions. Being self sufficent, balancing work , school, and a social life, is difficult, but I would reassure myself that the transition from high school to college would all be worth it in the long run. That perseverance is the key to achieving my goals.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself not to procrastinate and put college on hold. At the time, I had wanted to take a year of before college, knowing that I would want to go back, because I knew I was college bound. But then, midway through summer, I was regretting my decision, but knew that it was too late to begin applying myself. So now I will be attending the winter quarter, and still have a good amount of time to wait before I begin. I would tell myself that even though you are scared, or feel like you might not be ready for what your life is about to give you, college is something that is very worthwhile, and can be exciting in ways. The best thing that you can do is seize the opportunities that you have, and enjoy yourself while you are doing it. Otherwise, you could be living in a regretful situation, and that doesn't make anything better.
