I know one of the things your parents are going to tell you is that college is going to be harder than high school, so you better study from the start and try to keep up your grades. Well, listen to them, because they are actually right! And remember this college GPA follows you around for the rest of your life on your resume, so you want it to be a good one. But between studying, take time to make new friends and have some fun too! There's a whole world of different cultures, beliefs, and ideas that are worth exploring and learning from, so try to be open minded as well.

Find your passion and then follow it. It's ok if you take more than four years to finish college. Once you find your fire within, nothing else matters. You will be able to achieve whatever it is you want in no time at all. Not taking this opportunity to find yourself could lead to regret and backpedaling through life. You don't want to waste time doing things for which you lack passion and heart. Live life for what you love most, and give it your all.

If I could go back in time to give myself advice about going into college, I would tell myself to actually try. In high school I put forth little effort and got little out of it. I did not take the ACT or the SAT. I would tell myself to take those tests and to put forth the effort to prepare myself. I would also have to tell myself not to wait till I was 23 to go back. Being away from school so long made me forget what little I acquired from high school. I have always been a very quick learner, just never cared t try. Imparting the knowledge I know now might not benefit me in current time, but it would benefit the me of the past. Hopefully spurring him into what I have become now. I would much prefer the me of the past to go into college with a 4.0 instead of a 3.6 with know ACT or SAT scores to back it up.

In this hypothetical scenario, I would tell myself to secure my funding as soon as the year. I also would have disregarded the misconception that the federal government will cover all the cost with the expansion of education.

The advice that I would give myself is that you should never give up. Always try your hardest, excell in every way you possibly can, and live life to the fullest. Try your hardest because your hard work ethic will make a difference. Maybe not right away, in the near future, or for quite a while, but it will show up in your advantage eventually. Maybe in the workplace or even in school, such as graduating with honors or making the Dean's list. Excell in every way you possibly can because there is no reason not to. Try your hardest and show yourself what you are capeable of doing. There is no reason to sell yourself short, so be proud of what you have to offer and use it to the best of your abilites. Lastly, live life to the fullest because you only live once. Show the world what you are capeable of. Don't be ashamed of anything, God gave you talent, use it, and show it off for the world to see. There is no sense in hiding what you can do. Do what makes you happy and be happy with what you do.

If I could go back to when I was a high school senior, I would tell myself not to worry so much. I worried a lot about coming to UAT and not getting along with anyone, and not liking the school. Now that I'm here I love both the school and the people. I wondered for a long time what would happen if I got to school and decided that I didn't like what I was learning, but now I see it was a pointless worry. I love my classes and my major, and I definately wouldn't do anything different. If anything I would encourage myself to continue looking for scholarships in any place possible. Every little bit helps, and right now I'm seeing that I could use a few more.

Attending college has been one of the best experiences that has happened to me and my family. Being born into a family where the need for education has been fully enforced although financially, it has been a struggle in terms of tuition and fees. I have had the experience of meeting some very wonderful people who have helped shaped my life and made a very big impact in making me who i am today. It afforded me an opportunity to meet and learn different people and culture and to also appreciate their contributions to the world at large. I have gathered a vast knowledge of the wonders of the scientific world we live in thanks to the highly brillant professors i have had the chance to meet who helped imbibe in me the neccessity of attending college and acquiring a sound education. It has been extremely valuable to attend college because of the desires and prestige that is being associated with a college degree in the world as of now. It has also afforded my family the joy and pride of having a child who has strived through hardship to finally have the opportunity to attend college successfully.

With my limited college experience, I have gotten out of college thus far is needed skills that will be valuable in the job that I want and it really solidify what I want to do later in life. It is valuable to attend because I have made friends and valuable work buddies as well as teachers who are passionate about what they do.

It is the only pathway to a good life for me and my dread career as a game designer.

I haven't been to college in over 10 years. I would like to return in order to finish my degree and to help my son see how important it is to finish school. Now and today times are very hard and I have a few regrets for not finishing school when I was much younger. My degree doesn't help me to receive a higher pay but I would like the satisfaction of finishing for my own self-worth. Now that I am older I also see how important my experience in college was for me in my life. I often refer to experiences that I went through during that time of my life, but not truly understanding how blessed I was at the time I let my thought of my pay interfere with me finishing my degree.
