University of North Texas Top Questions

The advice I would give myself is to always put school first. Do not procrastinate. Always stay a step ahead of the game so that you won't get behind. Something else I would tell myself is to try to figure out my learning style so I could figure out a way to take notes and study to the best of my ability. The last thing I would tell myself is to know when to say "no" to your friends. There will always be time for socializing and hanging out later but don't drop everything for your friends. Who you hung out with in college won't get you anywhere. It's your performance while you were there.

If I can go back to when I just started my senior year, it would be "get off your butt and get your grades up. You are throwing away an amazing opptortunity. You'll have to go through two years of Georgia Perimeter College. It's not what you want. Music Business is what you want. GPC does not have music business. Lots of great colleges do. But you'll need much better grades to get in to any of them. So stop being a slacker. Stop being lazy. Please. Stop rebelling against education. Education is extremely important. It will be the foundation of the rest of your life, I guarantee it. At 21 years old you will go through a very big life change. At 22 that change will begin to be cemented. Education will be important in this change. Use it. Starting now."

Kimberly!! When you enter college remember these are the times to enjoy the freedom and creative freedom that is offered! On the other hand, be cautious of who you assiociate with because you never know if that person is there to help or hurt you. Never be afraid to talk to teachers because they are willing to help and for you to succeed even if they come off kind of scary! Do not get caught up on boys because trust me there are a ton of good-looking guys here and get caught up one especially if they break your heart. You are a smart and pretty girl and college is your canvas, paint it any color! Remember to take more risk that you know it is benefical and new no matter how embrassing because it is all about the experience! There are diverse people with different ideas and opinions, just be confident in yourself and hold your head strong!! I know you are going to exceel at colllege because you are you and no one else is! GOOD LUCK!

I would tell myself to try harder. I'm so smarter than I thought I was back then and I really procrastinated my way into college. I could have easily graduated in the top ten percent of my class, but instead I graduated in the top fifteen. I could have done so much better and accomplished some really great things back then. If I could go back, I would kick my own butt into gear and really apply myself one hundred and ten percent.

I would tell my high school self that those AP classes will come in handy and that I should have studied harder to pass the AP exams. Now in college, as I look over my textbooks for the upcoming semester, I realize the material is the same from high school. At least this will improve my GPA. The other thing I would tell myself is that I don't have to be an average student if I don't want to be. I was making mostly Bs on my classes senior year but in my first semester of college I made the honor roll because I put some effort into studying and preparing for tests. I knew that I would not realize my dreams of medical school if I don't try my hardest to succeed.

I would absolutely tell myself that organization is key. As a college student it is essential that you know what you need to get done and when. Prioritize things and learn to take control of your life. One more thing, STUDY!

Remember to enjoy and love learning, and don't be afraid to explore new ideas and discover new knowledge. Sometimes it will be hard, but just remember that once you're done, and you have completed all that you needed to get done, you will have a wonderful sense of accomplishment and you will find yourself with much more self-confidence. Have fun with friends, but always remember to do what you need to get done first, and don't push your responsibilities aside. Find something that you love and then pursue that. Learn what inspires you, and you will never find yourself bored in class. Find out how you study best. Alone at home, with a group, in a coffee shop, at a restaurant? Do you do better if you take notes or highlight? Try different study methods out so you can find the one that is easiest and most productive for you. Be sure and ask people about which classes they liked and which professors they recommend. Also be sure to listen to advice from classmates, teachers, and advisors. Don?t overload yourself, and remember to enjoy college! It is a wonderful experience.

to start off i would tell myself to be prepard! you can not be too prepard. focus on your grades senior year, and apply for as many scholarships as possible. i would also say get your financial aid and paper work in early so you wont have any thing to worry about. go on college visits, get to know your teachers, and college is not a game at all. last but not least study study study!

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior about college life I would tell myself a lot of different things. First i would tell myself that its going to be hard to move away from your family and even leave your friends and if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend them to. I would tell myself to prepare to study way more than I ever could imagine because its easy to fail a class because your teachers aren't supposed to know what you need help with study all the material they give because its going to be on a test. I would also tell myself to be prepared to have a lot of responsibilites and learn to priorities between what you need and don't need. All in all just know that college is nothing like high school you have to find for yourself and do what its best for you.

If I could go back to when I was a high-school senior, I would definitely tell myself to take more extra-curricular activities, more foreign languages, taken some AP and college credit classes, and bacsically just worked harder on my academics. I also would have told myself to study harder for the SAT's and to take the ACT. And if I did badly the first time, I would tell myself to work harder and take it again. I would have also told myself to research scholarships and financial aid and also to look into several different school and compare them and not just decide on one. That's basically what I'd say to myself.
