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.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would explain how true the reality of college is. I would emphasize the importance of independence. I would give advice on how to make leaving home easier, and how to avoid unnecessary stress and anxiety. Now that I know more about college life, I would strongly urge myself to apply for more scholarships and grants. College is very expensive, and expenses could be more easily paid for with free funding. The advice I would give is to be myself, make the best of my college experince by being active in campus life, and have a good time. I would especially advise paying attention in classes or lectures, and always completing work in a timely manner, not procrastinating, and effectively communicating with professors, advisors, counselors, and parents.

If I were to go back in time and talk to myself I would tell myself not to stress the little stuff and enjoy the time I had to spend with friends.

These past two years that I have been out of high school have taught me so much. It is amazing to see how much growing up I have done in only a few short years. If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself that there is so much that I have to learn. The transition from high school to college is scary and exciting, so I would tell myself to enjoy the experience because the next four years are going to be some of the greatest years of your life. I would remind myself to study hard and take any help that is offered. Do not be afraid to talk to the guidance counselors because they will help point you in the right direction. Most important, I would tell myself to not worry about the opinions of others and be yourself. Your college years are the time to discover who you are so do not be afraid to take risks and do what makes you happy. Enjoy your years in college because they will shape you into the person that you will soon become.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself my senior year, I would have told myself not to fret the little things , and to apply myself more both in the class room, community, and in my college scholarships. Through out high school many kids think that they have to impress everyone but in reality the people who truly matter are the people who know you for you, I would have told myself not to worry about others and be me because that is the only way you can truly enjoy any experience esspecially one as big as your senior year. Not only that, but I would havew explained to myself the importance senior year still contains and how applying myself both in my achademics and commutiy still has a huge impact on my college career as well as my future. It is true that every penny counts and you certainly realize that in college living penny to penny, and this is exactly why it is so important to apply for as many scholarships you can because it could greatly impact your education. I would have told myself that college is a new amazing start to your future.

Angie focus on your school work. Do not hesitate to finish your homework and never procrastinate. Aim for the top ten percent! You know you can do it and that will help you pay for college. Of course you want to have fun during your high school years but do not slack off. Your friends will not help you pay for college and once you face the real world outside of public schools everything gets expensive. Thank your parents for their support and make a decision of what you want to do with your life BEFORE you get accepted into any college. Don't waste time taking classes you don't need once you are in college. Keep your chin up. Life is going to give you many bumps on the road but it will make you stronger. Don't give up, don't give in, and don't stop reaching for your goals. Get over your timidness and show everyone how creative you are. Now go out there and prove to yourself you can do whatever you put your mind to!

College is not as different as high school than you may think. At first college seems big and scary, but really there are just more people and more buildings. I would tell myself to be more open to people of all different personalities and not be so closed off because other people can teach you more than you think. As I have gone through my bachelors degree, I have learned so much from my classes and compared to high school, I could not really relate a lot of what I was learning to the real world in high school because it was very general learning. I would tell myself that college is exciting because it is applicable to the real world. Not all about college is stress (i.e. filling out scholarship forms, going into a classroom for the first time at a large campus, submitting a 14 page research paper). Most of it is fun because if you are truly passionate about your future and your dreams, than it will all be ok.

You think you want to go to law school, but the reality is you need to do poli sci as an undergrad and it's boring. Focus all your attention on classes that interest you.

Please achieve the highest grades as possible because in the end it's all worth it. The hard work you put in now will not turn void, it's more like an investment for the career you want. The classes you take now will be about the same in college, so retain that information for another day. Listen to your teachers now, they know what they're talking about. Good luck, because there will be hard days, it's up to you to determine the outcome.

Apply for scholarships, because there isn't an easier way to recieve money you need.

Self, don't get distracted by your social life. Focus more on your education. At least, balance out your social and academic life, like you did in high school. Know what career path you want to do before entering college. After picking that career path, get as much experience in it before you graduate college. It's not all about getting good grades.
