University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

If I could go back in time, I would tell myself to finish college while you're still young. Earn your degree now before you start having kids and start working full-time. Holding down a 40+ hour job, raising kids, and running a house is not easy. Even though you will have a husband who is a saint. Take advantage of your youth and get your education now instead of waiting.

I would tell myself that it is important to stick with it. Do not be afraid to attend college, everyone is nervous about it at first. I would reassure myself that I will find my groove, and thats I would rather get started on my path to my career now, rather than in twenty years.

I would say: Brandy you need to pay more attention in class and challenge yourself to learn as much as possible.

Stay focused and keep your eye on the prize. Remember: challenge yourself, ask questions and master time management. See you on college graduation Brandy.

I would tell myself to hold onto my dreams. Obtaining a college education is hard work, but anyone can do it if they put their mind to it. Although you joined the military at 17 you could still be attending college. Waiting until you are in your 40s to obtain your degree can cause difficulty. If you wanted to be a medical doctor you should have reachd for the stars. Waiting until you have children, are married, and have lifelong injuries will keep you from attaining your childhood dreams. You can still become a doctor, and you can still enact change. You are a smart person with strong leadership skills. Apply this ability to every aspect of your life and go after that degree. Don't wait, don't make excuses because when you look into the future you will find that you overcame obstacles to suceed. You have the ability to be a 3.96 GPA student. Don't cut yourself short, read, study, and get that degree. You don't have to be the welfare kid who follows in your mothers footsteps. You can break the mold, you will break the mold. Don't give up.

College is a great experience to learn any field that you want to learn about. Go to college right after High School dont wait a few years. This is so that everything you learned in high school will still be fresh in your mind.

I would tell myself to make better choices and to be more involved in my academics and extra-curricular activities because it not only makes you a more well-rounded person, it gives you more opportunities and outlooks on life.

My high school had a program to earn college credits through high school classes. I would tell myself how expensive college is, and you have to in high school anyway, so why not knock out two birds with one stone. College is expenisve, and student loans never go away, so get the most out of free classses as possible, and never give up. Push yourself farther than you ever thought you could go.

Now that I have made it through the hardest part of my college career, I would have told myself to study hard and stay focused on your goal. Create a goal for yourself that is reachable, and strive to follow the steps needed to succeed that goal. Study more than 3 days a week and keep notes of all important topics or even questions you have. Be open in class and do not be too shy to ask those questions because someone else may also need the answer to them. Work hard, but also remember to take breaks for yourself and to recharge your energy. Enjoy time with new friends and make your college years memorable!

Definitely go to LCC because deciding to go to a community college first will save you a lot of money and it'll be a great experience for you. Also while you're there, get involved! Join a club and don't wait till your last year there to do so. You'll meet great people and become very resourceful. Never think that you only have one option for anything. You will always have a choice and you need to find out what those are. Communicate more with teachers and everyone on campus. Lastly, when times get really stressful and you feel like you don't belong there and you feel like you should quit, take a breath and remember how hard you've worked to get where you're at and think about the future you being successful. Good luck!

I would tell myself to NOT STRESS OUT. When I first moved to college it was also my first time moving out, and I only had a couple hundred dollars in my pocket. I was constantly worried about my financial situation (would my financial aid come in?) and I was very miserable for the first month and a half of my first quarter. But things always have a way of workin out, and they did in this case. My financial aid came in fine and my tuition was covered, and I had some money left over to get things that I needed. So the number one thing I've learned, and therefore would tell myself as a high school senior, DON'T STRESS. Everything will be fine in due time.
