University of Nevada-Las Vegas Top Questions

I graduated high school a year early, and attended college at the young age of 17. Going into college, I wasn't sure what to expect. Being so young, it was very difficult for me to adapt to such a new environment and the idea of being away from home, which is hard for every college student. I haven't quite gotten the experience I expected yet, but I have always kept with me, no matter how hard it got, that my college education is going to get me where I want to be in life. I have learned so much from the experience and I know it will only get better from here! I value my education a great deal, and cannot wait to accomplish great things with all my hard work and experience.

I love that I will be able to better my life at the end of my college career.

I am just attending my first day on 4-5-10. I have worked all my life for low paying jobs, because I did not get a college degree. I also had 6 children along the way. I am a single mother who wants to better myself for a promising career and better life for my children. Even though I am older now i still believe education is so important and need to set a good example for my children. I choose a career in the medical field and am exited to one day have a degree from college. Most employers now require a degree these days and anything in the medical field most definately. I know when I graduate and have that degree and have that good job, I will be a great asset to whomever I am working for. The world is constantly changing and there is no such thing as too much education. Thank You

My time at the university has taught me to better comunicate with my friends and other people which is an invaluable tool to any person. I have also learned the importance of hardwork and actually preparing for assignments and projects in an orderly and professional manner. Through labs and other group works I have been taught the importance of group dynamics. By listening to others ideas and opinions and collaborating with them we are able to freely explore the depths of our understanding while still pertaining to the task at hand. I will use these skills and experiences that i have learned for many years to come.

My college experience has givin me others' point of view on everything I am in the process of learning. Not just my teacher influence me but when there are groups made in classes, the feedback I receive from the research or work I have done is very helpful for me to look deeper into the subject. This school has taught me how to communicate to people better and get myself out there regardless of whether my idea is a good or a bad one.

Hello, My name is Tyler Hembree, I currently am a Freshman at Bluegrass Community and Technical College in Lexington, KY. I am writing you asking that I be considered for your Scholarship. I have a stong desire and need to continue my education. At this point in my young life I am interested in furthering my education in Radiology in the Medical Field. I feel that I am a very compassionate person and I have alot to offer the Medical world of today. I asked to be considered today for your Scholarship for the purpse that I feel this is my obligation to myself and my future. I am a very independent person who feel that by search and applying for scholarships this is one way to show my interest and ambition to my education. I feel that if you search and work hard for something, you will appreciate it more when you earn it yourself. I have and continue to work 2 part-time jobs to support myself and my education. I have a strong belief that I am growing into an adult and need to contribute as much effort as possible to my future.

Throughout my college experience I have not only reaped the benefits of receiving and education but experience. Experience with group cooperation, prioritizing and organization skills are all qualities that I feel I have began to develop a stronger sense of in the duration of my college experience.

I have made alot of friends already, and learned alot, even though I am only in my second semester. The knowledge and friends are valuable to me because I feel like I am learning and growing as a person everyday.

I have discovered that the world is much larger than the small town I grew up in. There are more people to know, more friends to make. There are very bad people out here as well that I had to learn to avoid. I have made many friends and have experience a lot of very new experiences. I have expanded my horizons and come out of my shy little box, having become much more outspoken because of my time at UNLV and just from living virtually on my own for almost 3 years. This social independence and comraderie that I have discovered, strengthening bonds of new friendships that I value deeply, UNLV, though not the best University in the world, has given me the oportunity to be on my own while still relatively close to my own family.

It's a lot harder than high school. Here, you're in charge of your time, and if you mess up you have to get right back up.

Hanna, do not be afraid of teachers They are not monsters, they are people too. They will help you and they care about your learning. Do not be afraid to try new things: join a community service group, join clubs, and study abroad! Broaden your horizon! This is supposed to be the best time of your life! Do not follow your friends. Just because your friends choose a certain major, it doesn't mean that you should choose the same also. Choose what's best for you. Do not procrastinate. Do not make your lack of money a hindrance in your success. There are ways to fund your education. Do not let failed romantic relationships shatter your determination. Do not let problems at home break your spirit. Do find a motivation and hold on to it. Do not quit your violin lessons, I know you enjoy playing your violin very much. Do welcome opportunities like internships. Do take care of your health, your mind, body, and soul.

If I were able to go back in time and see myself in high school, well I would most definetly change and tell myself to do more collge work. First I would tell myself to take the SAT and ACT tests as many times that i needed to get that one best score. Due to the fact that all college scholorships want to see the best scores to even be eligible to recieve them. I would then tell myself to take more AP and Honors classes, to succeed and be better prepared for the college classroom and lecture halls. Finally I would tell me to be more school involved in high school and just have a fun aand exiting time before college starts, because once it starts its all about work and concentration and devotion to succeed in the classroom.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to develop greater study habits and to take more challenging classes. The hardest thing to do when I started college was studying. It took me a couple of months to get into the right mindset of studying way more than I did in high school. Actually, I never studied for tests in high school because they were so easy to me. Once I got to college, I realized that I needed to study, and study hard, to get the grades that I wanted. I wish I knew that as a senior so that I would be more prepared for college. I also wish that I took more challenging classes. In college, my classes were by far more challenging than the ones I took in high school. I would definitely have been more prepared for college if I did take hard classes during high school. If I took challenging classes and had better study habits in high school, then my transition from high school to college would have been easier and better for me.

If I could go back in time, I would tell myself not to stress too much. College is just another extension of my education. Even though college is a time where students get a last chance to experiment with various concentrations, more importantly, it is a time for learning. College is not about getting the best grades, but it's about the overall experience. As a student, I should focus on understanding the important concepts and taking advantage of the opportunities presented to me. College is a vast source of network that will become important in the future. While I am in this institution, I should take every opportunity to create bigger networks and set myself up for the future. In this dynamic and competitive job market, American graduates cannot rely solely on their education anymore. The final thing I would tell myself is to believe in your own abilities. As long as you try your best, you have succeeded. As long as you put in the effort, the results will speak for itself.

One piece of advise I would tell myself is to not get lazy and continue to work as hard as you can, even though it's your last year of high school. A lot of the subjects that are taken during senior year are going to be carried over to college, and maybe even the rest of your life. I would have told myself to stay focused and to stick it out until the year is completely over.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would definitely admonish myself from exorbitant apathy and study more because in order to succeed in college, extensive reading and studying must be done. Unfortunately, I didn't see that in my senior year of high school, albeit I still did well. I regret not taking my last year of high school more seriously than I actually did because I could've done so much better and I could've even plausibly been the valedictorian. In college, I feel as if my eyes have been opened to what really matters ? unwavering dedication to academic excellence, consequently earning myself straight As for the first semester of college. However, I believe that some things simply happen for a reason, so with all that has unfolded hitherto, I am proud of myself.

If I could go back in time and be of some assistance to myself, I would make sit a point to stress the importance of good networking and communication in college. Once you make the transition to a university, it is vital that you are able to make connections with people that you do not know. These connections will lead you to having more future possibilities. Having a good network of friends and peers at school assures that you will have a stronger sense of a community and of beloning, which has been proven to help college students make it through their desired coursework. I would think that it is of utter importance for anyone no matter what time they come back to college to be able to communicate effectively with those around them. I know that I have benefited from being able to establish good friendships and bonds from my relationships with those around me. This in turn has helped me stay focused anad driven. I would recomend this skill to anyone.

If I had the capability to travel back in time to when I was a high school senior and give myself advice I would tell my former self to relax. As a high school senior the stress of applying to different universities and scholarships was overwhelming. Having experienced a semester at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, I have come to realize that my high school education prepared me far better than I would have expected. Taking honors and advanced placement courses throughout high school and receiving endless support from teachers has allowed me to continue my academic success at the post secondary level. Being able to travel back in time, the option of telling myself to relax and grasp any other advice from teachers would have helped. The intense amount of homework and studying throughout high school set me on a path of success for the college life. Knowing that I was in excellent form to handle college level courses would have been profound advice. I am grateful for my dedicated work ethic from high school and now in college but that crucial piece of advice would have saved me from extra stress.

Going back in time I would difenitely tell myself to continue going to school after high school. Right after high school i would of picked a career and go directly into college to get my bachelor degree and further my career and stay in school. hopefully getting my master degree. I would of stayed in school up to my 35 fifth birthday making sure that I had a stable career and making sure that I was able to start my own business in accounting . My goal for myself would of been and still is for me to start my own business in accounting and account payable. Going out and having to be able to do everyone's financial accounts every month. Having my own business by the age of 35 years old, that is what my plan would be if I could turn back the time, I would stay on a plan for myself and stay focus in school. To everyone out their please just take a minute to think about what it is that you really want to do in life and just try to stay facus. Don't ever have anyone get you off track. STAY FOCUS POSITIVE

If I was able to travel back in time to give myself advice about college, I would definitely say to have courage, stick up for you, and don't let others decisions influence you. I would also congratulate myself for all of the accomplishments that I had made; the biggest accomplishment was remaining grounded and humble.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to really focus on and establish my favorite ways of studying. This would be extremely helpful to me in the transition from having a high school teacher "holding my hand" through this process going to complete reliance on self for these habits. I would also tell myself to develop better skills in communicating with others and particularly with teachers and those above me. In addition, I would remind myself to learn to manage my time and make sure the priorities get completed. And lastly, I would strongly encouage myself not to stress, but handle things as they come, one day at a time. I would say, "do what you like because life is too short not to!"

the advice that I would give myself is to not limit my potential. In high school I was not very focused on which school I wanted to attend. This left me without many choices when finacial aid wasnt available. I limited my potential as to which schools I could end up to increase my opportunity for a better education. Also I would tell myself to establish strong study habits. My first year of college was brutal as in college there is no friendly transition between the sheltered high school experience and real life. It was hard to study for exams, do homeork, and participate in class as well as balance my extracurricular activities. If I had better study habits in high school this would have been a lot easier and I would be able to see the difference that it wouls make in my transition.

If i could go back as a high school senior and know what I know now, I would have prepared myself better. The advice I would give myself would be to apply for as many scholarships as you can, that way I would not have to exhaust myself working full time, worrying about the costs I have to pay for school. I would also advise myself to apply for more than 3 colleges, that way I have options to choose what university I want to go to. I would also advise myself to get involved in many school activites including sports, sororities/fraternities, and clubs. At the same time though, staying focused in school and not getting disctracted by the extra carricular acivities. I would also advise myself to fill out the FAFSA form every year for financial help from the government.

Making the transition from a high school senior to a college freshman can be extremely difficult or pretty easy depending on the help you seek out. At my high school there were so many people willing to help me and while I excepted some help there are alot more questions I wish I had asked. I had always hoped to go away to college and a well known college because I am the first in my family to ever go and i wanted to do it right. I had never even realized the actual costs. My senior year of high school I was caught up in clubs, my job and getting no lower than B's in my AP and honor classes that I didnt focus on the financial aid available like I should have. I knew I needed extracurricuar activities so i foused on those. I hadn't realized that once I got excepted it would then be a matter of paying for it. The advice I would have given myself would have been to open my eyes a little more and look at the bigger picture. Its not just getting there its also finding a way to stay.

I've thought about this question long before it was given to me on this site. I was always a quiet individual at school. I never had a problem with the content of the course, but I always had an issue talking to teachers about anything I was confused about. My grades were acceptable, but I felt that I should have asked more questions. While I did have a social life, my only wish was that I was more open in class. College requires so much discussion and feedback given by students. I find this so enjoyable now! I only wish that in high school, I would have opened up during discussion and shared my ideas more often to my peers and teachers during class. My advice to myself, in summation, would be to open up and let everyone know my opinion when necessary, because, if I have an opinion but cannot voice it, then that shows a lack of passion I have for my ideas.

Attend the school that : most obviously wants you as a student; where you feel most comfortable on campus; where you can be close to opportunities to pursue your career; and where in your heart you feel called to attend. Do not be discouraged by the cost. If you are meant to attend the school you will find the money to pay for it someway, somehow. Be friendly and genuine to everyone you meet and you will find new friends quickly. Focus on your ultimate goal. Keep a step by step mentality because everything by the inch is a cinch, but by the yard can be hard. Study purposefully everyday, but live life! Life does not start when you graduate, it started years ago. Make time for yourself, have fun, and if it is raining, dance in the rain! Live everyday. You can do it!

As I reflect on past decisions I?ve made, I realize the truth behind the saying ?If only I knew then what I know now.? If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would share two important insights: do not view a degree as job assurance and do not be afraid to change your career choice. I entered college with the idea that a degree alone would increase my marketability. In hindsight, I wish I?d known that job experience and networking was just as important as my degree. I would tell myself, ?Please listen to your heart. If you take a few classes and realize you do not like your major, don?t be afraid to try something else.? I successfully graduated with a business degree only to discover that I was happiest when I was in front of a classroom teaching. This realization motivated me to return to school to become a teacher. I would tell my younger self that indecision is a part of growing up; college is a time to discover who you are and who you want to be, and regrets are a waste of time.

The first thing I would tell myself is to not be afraid of all the people that surround you. There are so many people in college and for an incoming freshman it could be very overwhelming and frightening. Secondly, I would say to not be worried about these people. Everyone is on their own mission to get from point A to point B and they are not worried about what your wearing or who you know or what you past is. Just like you they want to get in and out of college. I would also tell myself to not be afraid to talk to your professors. As scary as some high school teachers make them sound, professors are willing to help you succeed and give you the tools to pass their class. Finally, I would tell myself to get involved in as many things as possible without compromising any of my school work. It is good to stay busy and meet new people because it gives you a chance to see other peoples points of view and mesh those ideas with your own. The overall thing i would tell myself is to jump right in and not be afraid.

I'f I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would have told myself to work harder in school. I would have told myself not to go into the military and pursue college after I graduate. I would have told myself that If you work harder you will soon get the life you want.

In high school I was--to put it blunty--ignorant. As an AP student involved in several extracurricular activities, I frequently thought about the wonders of college and being accepted to my dream school. However, I never quite got around to considering how I would pay for college, where I would work, or ensuring that I could take out a loan to attend the schools to which I was accepted. As a result, I found myself a candidate of several wonderful schools without any idea of how I would pay for anything. If I could somehow send a message to my senior self, I would encourage the younger me to apply for as many scholarships as possible. I would also tell myself to focus less on impressing admissions officers and more on discovering what I'd really like to do. It's important to learn who you are and develop those interests. I focused more on building my resume, and I now sorely regret it. I would also spend less time competing with friends and more time doing my personal best. It's necessary to recognize your weaknesses so that you can accept and build on them.

If I could go back in time, I would tell my high school senior self to simply work harder. As I transitioned to college life, I had no idea how much work I had to do. When I think about it now, high school wasn't as hard as I had thought. All I really had to do was process information I was told and put it down on paper. Memorizing and craming was enough to get by in earlier years. In college, it's completely different. It's the students job to get the information and to learn it. My K-12 education study skills did not work for college level material. I did not study every night, but ever since I have been attending college, I have been. The professor's job is to mostly clarify the material and it's our job as a student to understand the material and get it ourselfs. In college, students are no longer consuming information, but producing it. I now uderstand how important it is to learn.

I would begin to tell myself to respect his bosses and all authority because it will affect his employment status for the future. That I Shouldnt stress so much about getting into college even though i didnt get the millenium. I shud relax and focus on graduating. Oh, and do not i repeat do not by the 1990 toyota celica. It will ruin my life in the future.

I have always been a great student, all the way from first grade, through my senior year of high school, even now to college. I graduated high school with a weighted GPA of 4.6 with AP and Honors classes. I could say that I shouldn't have taken those kinds of classes and had a REAL life as a teenager, but I would be lying to myself. I took those classes to become a better learner and person. I learned more in my four years at a magnet/music high school than I have at a University in three years. I am so proud and happy to have learned so much. However, I would have told myself to join more clubs and to be more involved in my community, because now, I wish I would have stressed less about grades. I live with no regrets, but I wish I could have had more time for friends and clubs, instead of grades and performances. I have learned so much about the "real world" in college, balancing work and school and family, so every life experience has been helpful to my life as a whole!

I would advise myself to stay focused on my work. At time the course load may seem overwhelming and unbearable but you will make it through and you will do just fine. Just keep in mind that studying is paramount and is certainly required to pass all of your classes. In addition, I would make sure to stress to myself that spending some quality time with friends and family is also a must. In order to keep your life balanced it is vital, especially in college, to build those strong foundational relationships and keep them intact throughout college. Lastly, I would advise myself to not always be in a rush and to enjoy life as it is. It may seem that at times life is going crazy and things may not be accomplished--but they will get done. Do not always be stressed out and too most of all enjoy life and enjoy being a college student! After all, you only get to enjoy being young and in college once!

Even if you do not know what degree you want to pursue, go to college straight from high school and complete your core curriculum. Returning to school, even a couple of years after leaving high school, is very difficult and typically requires developmental courses to get back up to speed. I would tell a high school senior to research all the resources the school has available to them and use them to ensure their success. I would also tell them to volunteer or try to tutor in their field of choice for this will help them to maximize their understanding of their field of choice and helps them to pass on the joy of their chosen subject to another student who may be struggling. I also reccomend that they make sure that each instructor knows their name and to stay actively involved in their learning process and the status of their grades. Lastly, do not give up. You will have courses, tests, and assignments that test and maximize your abilities. Be fearless and never be afraid to repeat a course if you were not able to absorb the necessary material the first time around.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would advise on is the importance networking. I had the grades (NGA 92.29 total GPA 90.164) and had a class rank of 9 of 121. But after I graduated from high school and joined the military, I ran into real world problems that couldn't have happened until I graduated high school. I'm currently working my way through the problems and I've become a Civil Engineering student at UNLV. My Aunt Dorothy made an effort in life to network with people. Through her jobs as a customer service representative and an executive casino hostess she networked on a large scale. Congress men, state senators and teacher/principles in her current career field as a Physical education instructor. The networking my Aunt Dorthy added with the effort on her part. College became something possible for me when I thought it wasn't possible. I have learned in a short time that knowing the right people can be more or equal to as what you know. I would tell myself to always open doors and take the chance.

Be brave and step outside of comfort zone. Make new friends; don't drag around other people's goals. Discover yourself and try something new. Expand network. Focus on self and studies; manage social life. Become active in the community and challenge self physically and mentally. Mentor younger students. Strive to achieve goals and attain a favorable career. Nothing is impossible: graduate studies and PhD's are within reach!!

In 1988, when I graduated from high school, I didn't even look for a college. I applied and was accepted to the closest in-state university I could find without even considering any other school. There wasn't any family money available so I intended to pay for my education. I LOVE that today, there are internet resources available for scholarship research. If I were a high school senior right now, I would apply for every scholarship I could find in order to open doors financially. Then, I would apply to colleges that I had never even considered because of finances. Whatever I couldn't cover in scholarships, I'd cover with financial aid. And the cost of education keeps climbing, so there's no time to delay saying, I'll work for a year and build up my savings! When I started college at UNR in 1989, a college credit cost $40.00. Compared to the $120 per credit I now pay for my second bachelors degree, I could have applied to any school I liked. Debt is Temporary, Education is Permanent!

If I were to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would give myself plenty of advice on choosing classes and studying, in particular. As a person that did not like to wake up early, I had decided to start classes at sporadic times on alternate days of the week my first semester, which had turned out to be a disaster, so I would have told myself to stick with times that conformed to each other, like I found out my second semester (current semester). I would have also told myself to learn to study and to study more often, since during high school I wasn't challenged to my full extent I became lazy in terms of studying in public school, but now that I have to focus more and compete at a higher level, I had to change my study habits. I would have advised myself also on finding out more about my school, and what it offered in particular, since I did not realize what it offered me my first semester, I am now taking advantage of what my school has to offer me.

If I could go back to high school, I would advise myself to start planing early for college. I didn't start my planing until the last min,I didn't get a 3.0 GPA, and I spent seven years at a community college before moving on to a university.

If there was a way for me to travel back in time to a year ago today, I would tell myself a lot of things. First off, I would tell myself to only take classes that you are prepared for, because taking classes that you are not prepared for will cause more stress than you need in your first semester in college. Then I would tell myself that a great way to keep the mind sharp in the classroom is to keep your body fit. Energy is key to paying attention in sometimes monotonous classes. Plus, with your asthma, if you do not keep yourself physically fit, you will have problems singing and swimming. Also, I would tell myself not to let the stress get to you. Stress if the first thing you will have to learn how to control in college. While college is not that different from high school, work and school and your extracurriculars will keep you busy. Practice meditation to calm down you hectic schedule. Last but not least I would tell myself to have fun! You will meet so many new people who are truely great. And try not to trip so often.

The advice I would give myself in high school would be to think more about my future. I would convince myself to apply for more scholarships and to make college and academics a must, then a choice. I would also tell myself that the meaning of life is a life of meaning and the choice I make in the future will not only affect myself, but those you love you the most.

Who wouldn't want to go back in time and offer up some wisdom to an egocentric high school self? I sat there on my bed with my used cap and gown folded in my lap and asked myself this exact same question, "What advice would I give myself if I were an experienced college student right now?" The answer I came up with benefited my life that I could not even begin to explain, for the pure fact that one must experience it. It has been my experience that every High School Graduate ready to enter a higher school of learning should excuse themselves for 9 mo. to a year in order to offer up service, whether that be for military, religious reasons, or any other act of service, a students life will be enhanced in countless ways through service. I highly recommend that anyone about to enter into college take this route and view life through new eyes, your appreciation for education will be unsurpassable.

If i was to go back and talk to myself i would really tell myself to take the SAT one more time and to try harder on the math portion so i wouldn't have to take those extra classes. I would also tell myself to get a job to help with some of the expensis. I would tell myself to work try and make more friends that are going to the same college so that Ican have at least one more buddy to hit the gym with this semester. These changes would have made my first semester as well as all my years of college a lot smoother.

You'll love college. It is way better than high school. I know your a little socially akward, but it college it is a little more acceptable. Good idea choosing to live in the dorms. It will get you a lot of new and interesting friends. As for acedemia, you'll do just fine. It will be more challenging, but what do you expect. Come in with a plan and stick to it. It is also important to note that you have to take more credits than the full-time minimum requirement to graduate in four years. Every semester check with your acedemic advisor to make sure your on track. Continue to do good in school so you can aquire new scholarships. I know you like new things, but go for the used books, because new ones depreciate greatly in value when trying to sell them back. Above all try to have some fun, after all this is college, but don't get crazy.

I had an amazing senior year filled with student performances, school dances, and the first steps towards higher education. Assuming I could go back in time to provide some advice about college life, I would emphasize the importance of campus involvement. Living in the dorms, finding a club or organization to join, attending football games, and showing up for those late night mixers really bond a student to the school and more importantly to his or her education. Getting involved helps making friends easier, finding your way around campus is a sinch, and starting a study group becomes fun instead of intimidating. College can be scary, but mostly its a fun and inspiring experience that can never be duplicated and truely is life-altering. The people you meet in college could become lifelong friends, the foundation for a network, or even the link to start a career. As a high school senior I knew to be organized, on time for class, and to start a project the day I received the assignment instead of the night before it's due date, but I didn't know that getting involved was the best way to have an amazing college experience.

If I were to give myself advice about what I know now as a college student would be to take school more seriously. As a high school senior, I had a lot of extra curricular activities that I focused on more than academics and knowing how much studying and work is involved with college, I would give the advice of putting school first. If I had put my school work and grades as a top priority like I do now, I would be able to afford school by getting more scholarships. Also I would give the advice of being an independent worker and not to depend on teachers or classmates because in college it is about depending on yourself to know when the work is due and to know what is expected for the next class.

If I could go back in time and talk to my high school self, I would have advised myself to look into a savings plan for books and minor set backs like grooming, transportation, and greek life. As a high school student I always did what I had to for the time being. I never looked to the future or planned out anything further then what I knew I should. My parents never helped with any financial part of my college aspirations because they never been to college or had a disire to help me get there. When I got admitted to the University of Nevada Las Vegas I realized that I didn't have extra money for books because the money that I got from financial aid went all to my tuition. In high school they stress about getting to college and paying for the tuition and if you have room and board make sure you can cover the expenses. I never thought about saving extra money for living expenses. So going back in time will save myself stress from having to find a job straightaway which will allow myself no time to hang out with other college students.

A letter to me: Dear Lynn(1989), Life is good. You?ve been through hard times, divorce, single mother, homeless at one time, but you are ok. You never asked for help from anyone; maintained that strong sense of self and reveled in your independence. Maybe some of the choices you made created some of the problems you had in your life, but you pulled through. What you learned through the years made you a better person, mother and wife. People ask what you would do differently if you knew then what you know now, but you say, nothing. Maybe because, if things were done differently, you wouldn?t be the person you are today. Yes, it?s been hard, maybe harder than neccessary, but you are so proud of how far you?ve come. No, I think that everything happened as it should. You took all the lessons taught through heartache, poor choices and struggle and learned from them. The only advice I have for the Lynn you were in senior year, is make your mistakes, learn from them and then move on as always. Lynn (2010)

No one really knows what to except going into college. Of course we know it will be more difficult and more is expected of us. If i were to give advice to myself, i would definitely tell myself that i need to better my study habits. Without good study habits, you tend to slack off and when you try to study, you feel like you are just reading and nothing is sticking. If i knew or learned how to study better, i think it would help a lot more through out college. Id tell my self to start now in figuring out how i study best because once i got to college it would be much easier for me to prepare better for exams and not draw a blank when it was test day.
