University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Top Questions

I would tell myself to keep working hard and doing the right thing. Take the time to get to know people and invest in their lives and build those relationships. Lastly enjoy it!

Apply for as many scholarships as possible, save up as much money as I can for college, study hard while in college and don't slack off so much. Look for books as soon as possible, and ask around for who's going to the same college.

I would tell myself to not declare a major right away and give myself time to decide what I want to persue because topics in college are very different from those in high school. I'm staying in an undergraduate program for a fifth year because I kept changing my major, and I could have done the same things I am now, but graduate in four years had I come to school undeclared.

It gets easier and don't give up when everything seems too overwhelming. Everyone is feeling a lot like you are and you will get through it.

The transition is going to be a GREAT one! Finally done with highschool and off to college, I would choose no other option. I would not be doing anything else besides continuing to college. Be open to new activities and new personalities because you'll probably meet many people who can help you out, give advise or introduce you to a love interest. You will probably make new best friends but don't lose contact with your old best friends because they are there to unstress you and listen to your problems as always, even if your miles away at different schools. Embrace any and every opportunity while at college and don't forget your starbucks coffee before going to study at the library!

Take as many AP classes as you can, because they pay off largely in the end.

I did what I wanted to do, I didn't let anyone or anything get in my way when choosing what college I wanted to attend. That would be the best advice I could give upcoming students; go where you want to go!

I would probably tell my self to relax, and that in the end everything will work itself out. Before coming to college I stressed out about which one was right for me, what I wanted to do with my life, and if would be everything I dreamed of. I also worried a lot about if I could actually do it. If I could go back in time I would tell myself to not be afraid, that I can do it and I can succeed more than I ever knew. I would say do not underestimate your abilities and do exactly what your heart and your brain is telling you to do. That is probably all I would say. I would not want to give to much away because discovering and learning it all out for yourself is have the battle, and becomes quite life changing and discovering in itself.

If I could go back and talk to myself in high school I would tell myself to work harder. I feel that in high school students don't really know how much doing well will help them in the future. Doing well in high school lays down the foundation of your transition into college. If you study daily and keep a good work ethic in school you will continue to carry out those habits when you move on to college. It is getting harder to find a job because of the economy so that means you have to work harder than the generation before you. You no longer can be good at what you do, you have to be great at what you do! I would some day like to do something that changes other peoples lives and possibly help change the future of America. With such a big goal, I know now how hard I need to work. If it means being in school much longer, than so be it. I wish I would have thought of these goals back in high school and that is what I would tell myself if I could go back.

If i could go back somehow and talk to myself as a high school senior I easily would tell myself to get involved in High School. I would have told myself to join more clubs and organizations, learn to multi task and handle numerous responsibilities is a skill needed in college. Another thing i would have told myself is to challenge yourself, taking harder courses would prepare me for college classes ahead. To go along with this i would tell my high school senior self to learn to see the teacher after class and get help with material i didnt understand. One of the major things that i would have told myself is Study Study Study! Applying yourself makes learning much easier and more achievable. It also builds better study habits, because in college, you WILL have to study to pass. There is no secret or getting passed that.
