Texas Southmost College Top Questions

If I were able to go back to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself that college is really different and tougher than high school. I would say that the material learned in high school would come in handy in college and to pay extra attention especially in both math and english class. I would also tell myself to prepare for long nights of studying. I would warn myself of the load of responsibility that comes with attending college, and how it is preparing you for the rest of your life. Aside from academic things being in college gives you a small amount of time to have a social life but I would tell myself that it will be all worth it at the end. I would wish myself good luck and reasure that I know I will do well in college as long as I maintain my focus and ambition. I know this would all scare me but I believe that it is good because it is better to be prepared for the worst.

I've never really been one to look back at things from the past, but if I could be sincere I would have to admit I've thought once or twice about many things I could have changed throught high school. Senior year in particular. If I had the chance to talk to myself a year ago with the knowlege I have now I would tell myself many many things. The most important thing I would say to myself is to focus in nothing but education. Nothing is more important than being an educated individual. I would tell myself that nothing worth comes easy, always work hard for what you want, and never give up on my goals. Lastly to always have ambition and hunger to succeed in life.

I would tell myself to start applying for scholarship much sooner. I would also tell myself to try much harder in the AP class that I had my senior year. I was very driven and wanted to go out into the world much too fast. I was in a hurry to grow up and missed a lot of important details along the way.

If i could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself several pieces of advice. To begin I would tell myself to concentrate on my education from day one in college. Rather than goofing off in high school and thinking it is okay to do the same in college, focus is key. Studying every night is necessary and I will not be able to get by without taking notes. Second, I would tell myself to stop caring about what everyone else in the world thinks and care about what I think about myself and what I need to be doing. Listening to what other people think my life should be like only created inner turmoil and stress. College life is so much easier when there is a clear cut goal set. So make a goal, set it, and work hard for it without letting your peers distract you or try to get you off the road to success.

The advice I would give myself if I were to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior is to be a bit more involved with campus organizations.

Dear Sarah, Your senior year is going to be challenging but I know you will get through it. Some advice I need to give you is to; try your best and never give up, times will get tough but you have to overcome them, also keep your college options open and look at many colleges before you make that very important decision, apply for any and every possible scholarship because college is so expensive. You will be in debt going into college if you do not get a lot of scholarship money so do whatever you can to apply, and receive any scholarships available. College is going to be a big transition for you since you went to such a small high school, but you never know maybe you will find a small college that you are interested in. Whatever you do, don’t be afraid to go to college, every freshman is a new kid just as you are, you will make new friends. You will eventually get used to the transition and it will become your daily schedule. If you follow my advice you should do well in life, have a great senior year and future! Sincerely, Sarah

gggg If you are a guy, chances are you have or have had a taper fade haircut at least once in your life. These popular men’s haircuts are performed with the use of electric hair clippers, and they are among the most requested types of men’s haircuts in salons and barber shops the world over. A taper fade haircut is essentially a haircut in which the length of the hair either decreases or increases gradually, generally featuring longer hair on top that gradually tapers and fades to much shorter hair along the neck line and above the ears. While taper fade haircuts can be achieved at home by using virtually any electric hair clippers (most of which come with attachment guides to easily control the length in which you cut your hair), the fact of the matter is that taper fade haircuts have become something of an art form in many communities, and a trained hairstylist or barber can often provide cleaner lines and a far more polished, professional and put together overall look than most people can achieve on their own. Taper fade haircuts are among the most popular haircuts for men for a number of reasons,

If I could go back in time to find my self in High School, the only tip I would give to me would be: "Never keep the idea of doing something, do it." College its a whole new stage in your life, if you have great projects and ideas, make them happen when you are still on High School! This way you would be setting down the foundations that will raise into your carreer in the future.

Focus on your school work. Soak up as much as you can, because your brain will never retain as much information, as it does now. Get involved, hang out with people you enjoy, and stop comparing youself to others, you're not going to please everyone. Appreciate your parents, he treats you like a daughter, treat him like a father, he'll be gone far too soon. Be thankful for the full fridge, laundry service, and allowance. Save your money. I know "you're rich", but you won't be your 4 years in college, trust me. Become comfortable enough with yourself to trust your own judement, but know that your choices do affect others around you. Stand up for what you believe in, say or do something productive, when you see someone else being treated badly. Work on your social skills, communicating and speaking up is a vital neccessity to learning. You're not going to like everyone, and they're not all going to like you, but that's life, and it's okay. High school was easy, and you're not prepared for the difficulty of college, adjust now.

I think I would tell myself to save money because school spirit is costly,and also apply for more scholorships.Don't be nervous to get out there and strat meeting tons of new people!!:)

Diana, college is not a continuation of high school. There is a lot more independence and that can easily stir your focus away from obtaining your degree. Time management is key for any university student, at least an additional three hours have to be put in for each class in order to attain a firm grasp of the subjects, and allow you to get a good foundation of the subjects. It might be dificult early on to decide what field you want to obtain your degree in, but try to complete one degree as soon as possible. If later you find that it no longer interest you, the abilit yto enroll in a graduate progream is available for you always. Don't let anyone question your ability to do anything that your heart desires. Always keep moving forward.

If I had a chance to go back in time to my highschool self, I would tell her to apply to as many scholarships as possible, and to step out of her comfort zone. Back then in highschool, I didn't have anyone telling me to apply for scholarships or even teach me how to apply for aide. Now that Im struggling, I wish I would have applied for more scholarships. Also, there was a time when I was so shy, I didn't know how to make friends. However, all the experience I have now, I love people! Socializing is a huge role in college. This is one of my favorite things, if only I knew how great it felt sooner, I wouldnt have been so scared. Though all the troubles and trials I faced, I have not regretted them. It made me who I am today, though a time machine would be nice, but it wouldn't have made a big affect on me than the actual experience of overcoming my difficulties and learning from them.

DO NOT FALL INTO THE DISEASE SENIORITIS!! The lazyness, and comfort that was set upon the seniors their last year of high school does not prepare for the college courses you take. It is serious work and takes time out of your day. There are no shortcuts or easy grades given. You have to work for your grade and earn it. So push yourself, and do not quit. All the hardwork pays off in the end, and when the time is right you are given your comfort.

If i were able to go back in time i would advise myself to never give up on my goals and create good reading habits. Sometimes is hard to keep up when a grade is not as goos as you want. I have learnes thta only the hard work can take you to those good grades wanted. The second advice i can give myself is to start getting a good habit when reading becuase colleges demands many hours reading a book. For students like me, who are not used to read very often, it is difficult but not impossible. I have created good reading habits and i have learned to never give up.

Stay positive and focus on your studies. As an online high school graduate it was hard for me and it is even harder attending an online college. I always have to make time for my studies and time for my 40 hour week job as well. It is alot of responsibility and I need to make sure that i always make time for my family,job and schooling as well.

I would tell myself take some advice from people in different high level professionals and ask about their career life how they started and where they went from there and try to experience their work by observation from what they do now. If you like what they do make a list of careers you might be interested in and research them and visit campus sites about their degree programs and be sure they aren't just courses because it might not be all what you expect on a specific campus you would have in mind and maybe there's something better out there for you. Be sure first what exactly you want to do and think about you hobbies as well if you would like to join a club or a sport you might like, go for it. There are campus' the acquire your needs and wants so you won't be wasting your time in college being undecided or change your mind on a major.

I would advice my self to finish high school and attend college. I would advice my self that attending college is important, and that it is much easier to attend college when your not married and have children. I would also tell my self that college life is more enjoyable when you have more time to dedicated to it.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I was tell myself to get into a four year college. I would tell myself that investing in college will make my life so much easier. I would tell myself that with college I can support myself without having to depend on anyone else and that going to college will give me freedom.

If I could go back and tell my high school self about what I know now about college life I would also tell myself about my future life in general as I have found that this affects my college life. Your going to marry Jon and that we would have three wonderful kids, I would even tell myself that it would be better if you wait until your 33 years old, you will be one of the oldest in class, your more mature and ready to learn instead of starting and wasting money. Don’t worry you will be very nervous when you go back but you will know it is time! Your ready to hit the workforce again, but without a college degree it isn’t easy. There are people at the colleges to help you through the process so don’t be so afraid when filling out applications. Don’t be shocked at the cost, its not cheap, but there is some financial aid out there and there are some scholarships and most of them require some type of essay, pay attention in English class, wished I had!

Don't take life as it is for granted, high school ITS A JOKE, you think you have it figured out but things are different once you enter the cruel, cold, horrible real life. In college everything depends on you, no more there will be someone walking you all the way. This time if you don't make it happen you are going to end up living very miserable experiences. As harsh as I make it sound it doesn't have to be that painful, it can even be easy if you "study", just don't go ballistic and try to read a book in one sitting, because that doesn't work either (at least not for us [me]), just taking a reasonable amount of time each day to study and doing your homework should be more than enough to keep you in a good position. Keep it real, you knew life in high school was too good to be true, now its time to start the real deal. You have the power of making the transition from kid to young man as painless as it can be, I beg you to not waste it.
