University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

If I would go back in time as a high school senior I would tell myself to enjoy it. My senior year I was pregnant with my daughter and rushing to graduate at semester. I would want myself to involve myself in the fun. I would want myself to have studied harder for tests but to have participated in all the events that seniors are allowed. Once you have children and enter the 'real world' most fun and games are over with. I would want to have played for my rugby team again during my senior year. I would have told myself to attend prom because its the last opportunity I had. I would tell myself to take risks. I would tell myself to attempt to achieve the impossible. I would want myself as a senior to enjoy my last few moments of being allowed to be a child for just a little longer.

I would give myself the advice of done but college off. I would tell myself that it is much harder waiting 6 years then going back to school, because you loose a lot of knowledge when not being in school for awhile. I would tell myself that school is the best things for me. With a college degree, I might have already have owned my own business by now, if I would have gone right out of high school. I would tell myself that it is hard making out in this world with minium wage jobs. If I could go back and tell myself these things I know I would be so much better off than I am now. Struggling everyday really sucks and I wish I could go back and time and change a few things, and the first thing I would have changed was going to college. College is going to make things so much more simple in the world. With having a degree your able to get a lot futher in jobs, your eduaction, and life in general. I would also tell myself not to give up on my dreams, and make the best out of life.

Advice to give to self, would be to follow your childhood dreams. Take advantage of college before having a family, because it can get overwelheming at times. College is an important step in life to reach your potiental career goals, but working hard will always pay off in the end. Live life and enjoy it to it's fullest.

Attend the University of Phoenix and stay with it.

I would tell myself to do what I feel is right and not do what everyone else is doing. I would want myself to remember who I am as a person.

I would tell my high school selfl that college life is not as bad as it seems. With the professors and staff who are willing to help, you will not have any trouble getting through math and science. It will take time to adjust to being a college student and how to navigate where classes are at on campus but you will get to the point where everything is route at least for a semester. Coolege life has its ups and downs, but it will be worth it in the end. Transfering from Des Moines Community College in Ankeny, IA to Lake Land College in Mattoon, IL is worth it, especially since you will have some quality time with Grandpa and Grandma. I would also tell myself that life is short so enjoy the ride even with the ups and downs, it is worth the effort.

When I first attended college, I set aside very little time for enjoying college life and unwinding from studies. My life was centered around work and school. With a chance to start over, I would choose a college that offers smaller classes for more personal interactions and a campus life that would offers the activities that are geared towards my interests. I would also stress the value of the instructors. My first universitiy was a revolving door for visting professors that were mainly interesting in earning their wages instead of engaging students with the educational process. I would not return to my first university and many to this day hate their choice after graduating from this institution and never have any additional involvement.

The advice I would give myself in high school is no matter how hard college seems, do not get discouraged. Press through and finish the degree. I would stress the importance of not procrastinating and to focus on school, not frivoulous relationships. I would mention that friendships are important to maintain, but don't let them pull you away from completing the degree. A final message that I would leave myself is to not let professors discourage you. They may not be willing to help as much as you would hope, but there is always other ways to push through the degree. One thing I regret is succumbing to the stresses of college and dropping out the first time.

The advice I would give myself if I was to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior would be to get college done and out of the way right after high school. It is much harder to earn your degree with a family and other responsibilities. Going to college when your young is and will be a great experience for you and you will learn a lot from the experience. You will have more support of getting your degree from your parents when you are younger and don't have the additional responsibility that you will have when you are trying to raise five kids, while working and dealing with daily life responsiblities. So be smart and get it done now so that you can have a better situation for yourself and your family.
