University of New Orleans Top Questions

If I could go back in time and talk to my senior self. I would tell my that education is the most important thing in life; it is something that no one will ever be able to take away from me. To take all information for my mom, dad and teachers provided to you to heart has they are been out in the world and see what it is like to have to work in warehouses and dead end jobs. They only want the best for me in life and want me to get the best education possible.

I would tell myself not to assume to much about my abilities. Just because learning was easy in high school doesn't mean it will be just as easy to learn the material in college. Don't schedule early classes knowing that you don't want to wake up in time to go to them. Try to take different classes that interest you. Don't assume that the major you went in with is the one you will leave with. You might find something you enjoy more if you explore other subjects. Don't overload yourself with too many sciences in one semester. Spread them out. It's not the end of the world if you don't graduate on time. Don't worry about finding a career that will earn you a ton of money. Do what you love because you will be doing it for the rest of your life. Make an effort to make new friends instead of just sticking with the people you already know. They may be around for the rest of your life too. College isn't just about getting by. It's an experience that you should cherish.

I would tell myself to go for it. That college is actually better than high school. Not to be afraid and come out of my shell more. College is a great experience and you learn so much. It is interesting and so many classes and courses to choose from. I would definetely go to college straight out of high school because partying will always be an option. College is easier without children and a full time job. Do it the right way before you have a family. Don't screw around with your future and the lives of your future children.

I would have to say, that you need to pursue your degree. Today's society is very fast paced, so you need to keep your skills tuned. Don't neglect your dreams, pursue them. You should continue your education, because you will lose some of the skills or knowledge learned in school. You need to be persistant in what you believe or you will not succeed in life or in your career. I wish that I had done what I have stated, because now I have to return to school at a much older age to achieve the degree that I could have had in the past.

Don't be afraid to drop classes if you aren't doing as well has you want. Don't be afraid to change majors if you're not sure that what you are doing is right for you. Go where the scholarships are even if it isn't the best school, especially if you plan to get a higher degree later on.

i would say apply for more outside scholarships because college is expensive.

I would say I wish that I would have had someone to encourage me to the importance of Education and its significance in life. I would tell all high school seniors., to continue their educatiion while its still fresh in their minds. Do not give up on your dream for its closer today than tomorrow.

Enjoy yourself now and don't hold back in the future. But save up as much money as you can now, it'll make later that much better.

If I could go back to my self as a high school senior, I would tell myself several things. First, I would tell myself to "chill out" and to not take myself so seriously, but also not let anyone or any negative circumstance make me feel or appear any less than I am worth. I would also tell myself that I all I can ultimately do is my best, but that shouldn't be a cop out to do any less than that. I would also let myself know that things might not always work out how the way that they were originally planned, and almost never does, but to continue to stay positive and embrace new ideas. In summary, I would tell myself to be humble, but also to stay mentally strong.
