University of North Florida Top Questions

The advice I would give is to take classes seriously and work less hours.

Go to school. Go and focus on school. Even if you don't know now what it is that you want to do, it will find you eventually if you do not give up on your education. Take loans, apply for scholarships, and do your research. No boy is worth putting it all off for seven years.

Study more and work harder! For much of high school I had a I don't care as long as I pass attitude. I generally did well on test and could retain information well but I didnt really do a lot of my homework or study as much as I should have. I passed my first two years of high school with a C average and I even failed one class. In high school its easy to think of college and adult life as something in the distant future but around eleventh grade a realized that I wanted to go to college and just how soon I'd be in college. If I had worked harder and wasn't so lazy and careless about school in 9th and 10th grades I could have graduated with AP credits saving myself a lot of work and money. If I had done this I wouldn't have had to have done many of the basic classes I could have skipped over with AP credits this would have allowed me to graduate much earlier getting me a jump start on my adult life.

I would tell myself; "buckle down more when it comes to finacial aid and standardized testing, it does not matter how smart you are if you cannot pay for school or no school wants to accept you because you goofed off. This is your future do not mess aroud with it. You are going to reap what you sow, and if you put forth no effort then you are going to get nothing out of it. You are an adult now people are not going to serve life to you on a silver platter, you have to be willing to go get what you want."

If I could talk to myslef as a high school senior again the advice I would give myself would be do not go to the classes in college with the same mind set as I would go with in high school. The classes may seem just as easy as the ones in high school but do not take what you think you know to what the every the subject is, becasue the is a chance the teacher will change up or confuse you with the way they teach the subject. So learn to adapt quick to the different teaching styles and their way of grading the work that you do. That is the best advice that I think can give to myself, adapt to survive the teachers grading,

Hello Zhenya, I am you from the future! I am here on a mission to help guide you through your senior year of high school. I have lived through our senior year, and I will give you advice to make your transition to college easier. Follow the rules below and you will fly through your senior year! 1. Study for the SAT. Listen to our mother's advice, and take some time every day to look over your SAT vocabulary words. When you go to the beach with your friends have them quiz you on SAT material. 2. Do not spend all the money you have. Trust me when I tell you paying for college tuition is arduous. You must save money from every bit you are given, so you will have money in the future to pay for college tuition. 3. Continuing the last rule, do not take out a lot of loans. Loan money will accumulate over the years and it will be difficult for you to pay it off. Finally, remind your family of how much you love them and appreciate their support for you. Often we forget to thank those who push us to become extraordinary.

If I were able to travel back in time to when I was in high school, I would tell myself not to panic. The AP classes I took in high school were way more intense than college classes. I would let myself know to continue taking AP classes, because they really helped prepare me for my classes I take in college, now. I would also give myself a heads up about having to do laundry, buy groceries, and managing time, and that it doesn't matter that I didn't know what I wanted my major to be, because college gives you the chance to take classes that can help you figure out the path you want to take.

The advice that I would give myself as a high school senior would definitely be to tour the University of North Florida instead of focusing so much on schools that were out of town. Instead i going back and forth to the other schools I was accepted to and keeping UNF as a safety net I could have toured the campus and known right away that UNF was the best school for me for my undergraduare career. Another thing that I would tell my high school self would be to fill out more scholarships and definitely look harder for scholarships. Now that I am looking for graduate school scholarships I am coming across a lot that I could have applied for during my senior year for my freshman year of college.

Have no communication for those who do not have your best interest at heart. There is not much more else to say about my senior year considering the fact most of the issues I faced were because of outside influences.

If I had the chance to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself not to stress out over the future and do everything I had planned to do . I was prepared to do whatever it took in order to get into the college I wanted to and that is what I did. I would spend hours every day practicing for my auditions to make sure I was good enough to get accepted into a college music program. After spending hundreds of hours practicing, I was able to achieve my goal and was accepted into two of the three college music programs I auditioned for. I then selected the University of North Florida as the program that was the best fit for me. If there was one piece of additional advice I would give myself, however, is to make sure I enjoy doing everything leading up to the time I leave for college.
