Youngstown State University Top Questions

I would shake her shoulders and tell her to listen to someone wiser. Telling her to focus education, even if it seemed boring at the time. I would continue to explain that confidence and self assurance builds over time and experience. That she would surround herself with others just like herself in college and be comfortable in her own skin. I would tell her to explore the adventure of college and experience what the campus had to offer instead of hiding away. To not be afraid of change and to experience what I experience now, so she can feel accomplished and confident than I ever did in high school. If I could just make her see through my eyes on what I know now, I know she could accomplish so much more and know that each accomplishment builds into a greater fulfilling life. After telling her that, I would give her a strong hug and tell her that I know she can be a great person as long as she lets herself be open to the opportunity and hope that she takes those words to heart. That’s what I say if I could talk to my past self.

Try new things and meet new people. Also, go the speed limit when travling anywhere!

It was a cool night, a slight wind in the breeze that carried the relaxing aroma of pie to the excited recent high school graduate. Tomorrow was the big day, the first day of classes. He didn’t know how he would sleep. He didn’t even know how to eat he was so excited. Had his head not been attached to his neck it surely would have been lost by now. He heard a noise, the door opening. A long, slow creek that echoed on for ages. The graduate looked suspiciously towards the figure in the frame, startled by his own, larger image. The college version of himself looked at him with a sense of regret in his eyes, chuckled, and rubbed his rounder belly. “Erik, whatever you do, don’t eat fast food on campus. It’s delicious, but you’ll end up right back to where you started.” With a nod the rotund scholar left the door frame and closed shut the door, leaving the high school graduate to contemplate the possibilities of time travel. And once again the familiar smell of pie relaxed his nostrils, temptation rising.

I would give myself the advice of always studying. College is all about studying if you do not study then you will not pass your tests and you will regret it. College it is all on you, your teacher is no longer holding your hand through everything and helping you through every step. College is very individual. One big theing for me would be time management, make sure that you manage your time wisley, because college work will stack up faster than you think making things become rather stressful. high school to college is a huge transition, but it is able to be done. Do not stress yourself out right before you go to college because if you put hard workinto college it will come easy. High school was a good learning experience, but college is a big step forward. Always study, turn in your work on time, go to class and never give up. Put 100 percent into everything you do in college.

If I could go back and talk to my high school self, I would tell myself to make sure what career path I wanted to take, because it gets time consuming and expensive switching majors. It wouldn’t take six years to complete a bachelor’s degree if you would just make up your mind. I would also tell myself to not take out the maximum amount of student loans every semester, because you know what, they have a limit! I would tell my high school self to make sure I was involved in at least one student association during college. It creates great networking opportunities and friendships as well as serving the young children in the community. As a high school senior, enjoy the way you get to learn, because when you get to college, it won’t be as easy, but you can do it!

I would have told myself to study and prepare more. I really did not have to study in highschools so I would have made myself try harder. I also would have told myself to focus more and fill out more schlorships and to get a job. If I had gotten a job in high school I would not be having so much finicial trouble. Where I went to high school at was not in an over populated area. It was different then being in college. In high school I knew pretty much everyone there, but in college there are so many people you are wlways meeting someone new. I would tell myself not to be so afrade and to put myself out there and be the best person that I could possibly be.

If I could go back to when I first entered college, I would tell myself to get involved more in activities on campus. Additionally, I would tell myself to live in the dorms on campus because I can then meet more people at my age. Another recommendation for myself that attending classes was one of the best decisions I made that semester. Furthermore, staying organized is something I definitely benefited from during the year. I would also tell myself to make sure to talk to professors for any questions I have about the class material. One of the most important things about being a freshman is making sure to take advantage of any services the campus offers, such as tutoring and peer mentoring. Although these services sound unnecessary until later in the semesters, they are definitely important to utilize at the beginning of a college career. For particular classes, which a student knows they will struggle with, tutoring is important. It reveals a student cares about their coursework. Peer mentors also help students figure out any other resources available. Even though I made some mistakes during my first semester here, I definitely learned what it took me to succeed.

When I graduated high school I wish I would have not taking a year off but went straight back. For any person entering college I would advise them to follow your dreams and stay focused and dont let the women get your mind off of the task at hand.

If I could go back in time to my senior year I would tell myself to apply for more scholarships. I would also tell myself to try and find a major that I feel 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} comfortable with.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, some of the best advice I would give myself is to apply for more scholarships. At the time, I was not as mature as I am now. That was back in 2009. I would have to tell myself that college is expensive. Do not procrastinate. That is a big issue for some students. I would have to keep telling myself to apply for as many scholarships as possible. I do not want to be in debt for the rest of my life. Scholarships are the best thing a high school student can apply for. Seize the oppurtunity and apply for scholarships.
