Sonoma State University Top Questions

I would definitley go back and tell myself to do as much as possible in school, participate in extra curricular activities, join clubs, and do interships that would look good towards my career. I aslo would tell myself to not worry about the "now", but the "future" because that was something I always had a problem with untill recently. I would tell myself to be aware and take advantage of the different scholarship opportunitee's I could apply for as a senior in high school, I never really paid any attention to scholarships because I thought I would just go to community college and financial aid would cover it so I wouldn't need any scholarships, but now I've changed my major to Recording Arts Bachelor's and that cost a bit more than general education. and last but not least I would tell my self think about whats important for my future, hanging out with friends, or applying for aid to attend college and better my self to start a career of my choice that I love and have a passion for.

i would tell myself that the ap classes really do mater and help significantly in college.

If I could talk to myself as a high school senior I would say to go away to school the first chance you get. I would've started right away at a 4-year university instead of attending a community college first. I would say to go away as quickly as possible so you can experience life in the dorms as a freshman and actually be a part of a campus community. I would get more involved form the beginning so you won't get caught up in the 9-5 world while you're still attending college. Go away to college as soon as you graduate high school and experience all there is to do like studying abroad and attending campus social events.

"Don't drink the water!" College will give you the oppurtunity to meet people with a lot of different ideologies than you! Speak up, stand up for who you are and where you came from. College is about finding out who you are, but its also a place to find you voice. If you believe in something than speak up. Professor's appreciate students who care, regardless if it doesn't comply with their own beliefs. Don't sit in the back and mindlessly agree or accept others views, be true to youself. "Dev, don't drink the water." Quench your own thirst.

I would first kick myself in the butt and tell myself to shape up. Having gone to a community college for three years was nice to get a feel for what college is like but it didn't give me the full experiance. I would tell myself to try harder in applying to colleges my senior year instead of taking the simple route and just going through the motions of community college. I would tell myself to accept the call to adventure and work harder in trying to go to a four year colege off the bat. I would also tell myself to party less, I wouldn't take back the memories I have had but to tone it down. I needed to concentrate on some of my studies more in my first couple years at Sonoma State but instead I was trying to have a social life. Follow you heart, have fun and learn from experiances. I could tell myself all the do's and don'ts but that is what life is all about learning from our mistakes and memories.

I wouldn't care so much about what others thought of me

Reach for the stars. Keep your priorities and heart in mind.

If I could go back, I would tell myself to follow my instictions when it comes to school, because my college experience has been great, and i feel so good about the school I picked. Also, take those math classes a bit sooner so you're not scrmabling to get them done at the last minute.

You aren't going to stick with an English major. Try for scholarships to calarts or academy of the arts.

My advice for parents/students finding the right college would be, to keep your options opens, go to the college you wish to attend and that best fits you, and start preparing ealry.
