Washington State University Top Questions

My college experience is irreplacable. I learned a lot about my selected area and a lot about myself. College is important to make a career for yourself in todays society. I want to be able to support a family and wouldn't be able to with out a college degree. I have learned to communicate, socalize and be professional while in school. Without attenting the college I believe I would still be stuck in a high school communication style lacking professionalism. I also learned that what I had origanally planned on doing for a career was not really what I wanted. I spent time learning about myself and discovered where I really belonged in the working world. I moved from a biology/zoology based career to a nursing career. I am currently enrolled in an RN program.

My college experience has taught me that things aren't ever going to be handed to me, and that I am going to have to work for things in my life in order to get it. I learned that I am going to be handed responsibilities instead of freebees, and I am ready to take on those responsibilities because of my college experience. College has been valuable to attend because it has enlightened me more than any high school ever did (especially in math! haha)

I have gained a greater understanding of the Nursing experience, I have also gained a greater knowledge of what it entails to be a leader in the healthcare industry. I have found that the college experience is both challenging and rewarding. I have also found that one recieves what one puts into the experience. College has also helped me set higher education goals and has ecouraged me to keep learning and to not stay stagnant too long. I have also got to show my 4 children that college is a worth while endeavor, as they have all witnessed me taking my classes and recieving my degrees, so it has also helped teach by example for my children and those around me.

I have learned about myself, my goals, my priorities and values while attending university. I know that it is my desire to dedicate my life to serving others and am pursuing social work in the long term in order to help make others lives better. I want all children to be raised in safe environments with adults who make healthy choices for their children and themselves. I study race, culture, language and people to become the best person I can be and to pass on my knowledge, always remain tolerant and assist others to open their minds, support one another and create harmony. Attending university has allowed me the opportunity to experience a plethora of situations I would otherwise not have a chance to participate in and learn more about myself, my environment and life in general. I am grateful to have the opportunity to attend college and grow!

While still in high school, I did the Running Start program at Columbia Basin College. While there, I expanded my cultural awareness in high level Spanish classes, improved my writing skills in english 101 and creative writing, and obtained a better understanding of current issues in biology, chemistry, and political science. I graduated with a General AA degree in June 2010. Though still in high school, attending CBC prepared me for my academic journey at Washington State University that just began. Being freshman age, 18, but a junior academically has been a challenge because I don't have two years to decide on a major. I came to WSU interested in Athletic Training, changed my major to Movement Studies, and have now changed to Pre-Nursing. After one more year here I will go to Spokane to complete a BSN. Here at WSU, I'm learning how to manage my time as a full time student and an NCAA athlete. The education I gain here will give me the tools to help others in my career as a nurse.

After being out of school for roughly ten years, I see now that it isn’t as scary and difficult as I was making it seem. I am learning to broaden my spectrum in all aspects of my life. I’ve been communicating with people from different walks of life, thought’s, and idea’s. I’m also learning how to be professional. It’s giving me the tools I need to handle any situation I may need to deal within the work place as well as personally. College is teaching me to manage my time, and work in group settings, as well as alone and under pressure. Making the choice to go back to school has given me the sense that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. I know the skills and tools that I am learning will lead me to a healthy life filled with stability, happiness, consistency, and constant growth.

I attended a Community College immediately after graduating High School. I have changed my major as well as my interests many different times and I was finally able to settle on Business Administration and Health Care Management as my main focus. I think attending the community college that I attended really helped me to figure out what I wanted to do in life. I have had many great professors that I was able to connect with and who helped me out more than I would ever expect. I am now going to be attending and huge public University in South Carolina to obtain my bachelor's degree and I am excited for that as well even though I know it is going to be quite different from my small community college.

My college experience so far has been a huge learning experience for me. Having a college education is extremely important in todays society. In highschool, you learn the basics, but college prepares you for working in the real world. Even though having a good education is extremely expensive, it is well worth it in the end. When I first graduated highschool, I recieved a 2 year scholarship for my grades to attend Prairie State College. There, I worked on my prerequisites for pharmacy school, and earned my Associates in Science Degree. Attending these classes taught me so much, and I realized how lucky I was to only have to pay for my books and not tuition. I have taken more classes that I had to take out loans and pay for myself however. Having these student loans teaches you how important having a stable career is. These bills are just the beginning of starting my life as an adult, but I know it will all pay off in the end when I walk across that stage with a college degree.

The value I have discovered from college is the value Columbus discovered when he sailed to the new world. I found a new world in which possibilities were endless. In this new world, my horizons were broadened and I rediscovered ways to see my life and to think about my life. I discovered the value of philosophy and the art of questioning. I questioned my beliefs and became an atheist in the process. I discovered the value of economics and the art of entrepreneurship. I incorporated a business and am teaching myself the fundamentals of growth. I discovered the value of marketing and the art of the sale. I have since found creative ways to persuade and influence, as well as sell myself. All of these values I discovered in this new world were life altering and priceless much the way the new world Columbus discovered altered the course of history. This new world I discovered altered my history.

Out of college, I have gotten valuable skills in both the areas of education and music. I have met some amazing people and some very intelligent, helpful professors. It has been valuable to attend this college because of its school spirit, its honors program, and its fantastic academic advising program. For the most part, my experience here has been positive, and I am glad that I chose to attend this school.

I have recieved a lot so far being back in school. I learned more in my first couple semesters about business then I did in the 10 years of working for a big company. The two most valuable things that I have learned is, it is never to late to go back, and how important having a degree is. Even though I am older then most students, I can see that my options for a better career for myself is out there when I am done. I have learned that I am better at things then I gave myself credit for. It has been difficult trying to make it so far without a job, but it is worth all of the sacrifices that I have been making. The instructors bring real life experiences to the classroom, which help me understand the material. With out a degree, it is almost impossible to get ahead in most careers. I am very excite to be going back, and every day I am learning more. I am not sure if there enough words to describe the experience and how important it is to go to college.

College has taught me how to live on my own. Throughout college there will always be distractions, yet you have to learn how to manage your time. In addition, you have to decide what kind of a person you want to be, and then make decisions that reflect that choice. College allows you to spread your wings, and for the first time test your abilities in the world.

I became more mature and indepentent by attending WSU-Vancouver campus. I meet a lot of very smart and friendly indiviuals. In particular, I notice when ever I would go on campus the environment was very positive and I could feel that each student wanted to be there. These students didn't go to class because they had to it was because they wanted to better their future. The professors were all highly educated and were so motivated to share their knowledge to the rest of the class.

My college experience is invaluable because of obtaining a degree in sport management. I have been able to connect with many different people in the sports field and world. It helped train me for everyone of my jobs. I was able to learn from an educational stand point and participate in athletics. I also learned how to work, study, play, and be married with kids during my college time. I created many different relationships with friends, co-workers, and professors that I still keep in contact with. I loved my time at Washington State University and wouldn't trade it for anything else.

My college experience has been absolutely wonderful! Yes, I have cried, felt lonely and homesick, but that is normal for being on your own for the first time. I love the campus here at Washington State University, and I don't hesitate to say that it's starting to feel like home. My classes and professors are stimulating and insightful, respectively. I am learning so much! It feels as if I have broadened my horizons more in this first month of college than in my four years in high school. I have learned that with determination and hard work, you can accomplish what you set out to do. I want to be an accountant and it is going to take many hours of studying and learning new and intriguing concepts. Without Washington State University, I would not be able to pursue that goal. I am so blessed and thankful to attend a university! I have also learned that friendship is an essential part of life. After leaving many of my friends and family members behind, I've realized just how valuable they are. They can never be replaced, but I'm not afraid to branch out and make new friends.

over the past year, I have gone through so many different experiences. I have been able to open my. I mind and expand my knowledge of the world around me. Washington State Universirty was not my first choice in college's I wanted to attend, although I would not have it any other way. I love being a Cougar and in the time I have been here I have met some very wonderful people including teachers, sta

My college experience as giving me many life lessons. You learn how to deal with many differents types of people in many different situations. You not only learn what is needed to servive in the work place, but you learn how to servive in life in general. In college you will see many different aspects or many different points if view. It gives you an open mind when you are moving on with your own life. The relationships that you build in college last for every. You learn how to adapt and grow with other individuals. You may never see some off the people that you meet in college after graduation, but you learn how to work together and become a family when you could be hundreds or thousands of miles away from your relatives. College is more then a party, it is more then books, it is more then the money. College is you and the person that you are becoming, it is the person that you are changing into. Most importantly for me it is the person that succeeded and made to the end and did not give up. That is what Washington State University meant to me.

My freshman year of college (2009-2010) was spent in Pullman, 3.5 hours from my hometown, at Washington State University. Everyone in my mom's family, except for my dad, went to college there and when I visited at the end of my junior year my decision was made, I loved it. When it came time to apply for college, my friends spent hours pouring over different colleges while I applied to WSU exclusively. Fast forward to the day my family and boyfriend dropped me off and I was a homesick mess. I am now finished with my first year of college and will be attending a community college this next year, it is closer to home and my now fiance. While I missed home A LOT this past year I do not regret that college experience. Not only am I closer to obtaining a nursing degree, but I learned life skills. I learned how to: do laundry, stand up for myself, my values (and how to express them), and make tortillas. Most importantly I learned that those who matter most are worth more than fancy recreation centers or dorm life...I can make my own path.

Before attending Washington State University, I was not as well prepared as an professional or as an individual. The quality of education at WSU is outstanding, and through my years there I have learned extensively and I have developed skills and qualities that will help me in providing my future patients with the best care and understanding. I value my time at WSU not only because of the quality of education that I have obtained, but also the experience from guest lectures, one-on-one with clients and my internship at one of the best hospitals in Washington State. I am continueing my education (graduate degree) this fall because of the excellence and quality of education that I will continue to obtain here at WSU. I am looking forward to my upcoming years and developing more as as a professional and as an individual.

College has given me a number of powerful tools that I feel outweigh all of the costs. The first of these is a sense of my own personal value. Because I have a degree and I did well at getting it, I feel capable and confident in myself. This translates to a confidence in all arenas of my life. Another valuable tool I received from college was an understanding of the politics and strategies needed to succeed in America. Much of the minutia and red tape that getting a degree requires creates a rich training ground for gaining the wisdom and wherewithal to deal with day-to-day problems of navigating the world we live in. Finally a simple yet exceedingly valuable tool I gained from college came unbeknownst in its arrival. It came as a result of the many papers I had to write in a myriad of classes. Each paper, each reflection, each time I had to analyze and summarize represented a progressive and continuous development of my own thoughts and opinions. As I had to reach within myself to respond to these queries I developed a deeper and deeper understanding of who I am on multiple layers.

What I have gotten out of college came not from the lectures that I attended, but from the experiences that shaped me and the professors and peers who inspired me to aim higher in my dreams and ambition. Although my school was most definitely not my top choice or near it, what I have gained through my experiences and interactions with the people here have molded me and allowed me to take the next steps in attaining my dreams. While at this school, I fell in love for the first time, was heart-broken shortly after, lost my family home in a fire, betrayed by "friends" who turned to alcohol, was attacked physically, and ostracized by others who perceived my ambition as a threat. The last two years of my time here was spent trying to "fix" the mistakes I made during my first two years. Yet due to my inspirational teachers and the true friends I made, I have come to realize that those "mistakes" were the necessary events that I needed to experience in order to truly know who I am as a person, and now I can leave confident that I can face whatever the future brings.

When I arrived at Washington State University I loved the environment amongst my peers and had every intention of pursuing a career in Chemistry. Today, nearly two years later, I feel the same about my career goals, and my school of choice. I, like most everyone else on this campus, am pumped up to be a Cougar and know that, even after I graduate, I will be involved in the University in some way. Also, I have already been able to acheive research experience in research facilities on campus. Throughout my own research experience I feel a greater enhancement in my knowledge of Chemistry and my desire to continue in that field of study. I love Washington State University, the Palouse, and Chemistry now just as much as when I arrived, and I do not believe that standing will change anytime soon. This is the place for me, and Chemistry has become a wonderfully valuable part of my life both academically and socially.

I first attended college right out of high school (SUNY at Buffalo), first majoring in music, then in art. I matured greatly in those three years, and saw that I would want to eventually follow some art therapy and/or counseling path. I moved to California and took art classes, then returned to SUNY Brockport to receive my Bachelors degree in Art. Returning to CA (where I've lived for over 25 years now, I taught art to both children (grades K-8) and seniors (in convalescent homes, Alzheimers facilities, and hospice). I returned to school to get my AA and CA certificate in Alcohol & Drug counseling, and AA in Advocacyl, to continue using the creative arts in helping other professions. At this point I wish to pursue my Masters in Arts degrees in both Art Therapy and Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) at Notre Dame de Naumr University (in Belmont, CA) to further my work helping different populations, including rehabilitation, mental health and disabilities, utilizing creative arts therapies. I have greatly enjoyed all my college experiences, and found my learning to be both crucial and self-transforming.

My college experience has been a little different than most. I attended college out of state, so I pay nearly twice as much for tuition and travel expenses as my classmates who pay instate tuition. I feel this extra cost is justified because its important to branch out and experience new places as well as attend a university that has a reputable program that you're interested in. My college experience is also different because I studied In Italy for the first semester of my sophmore year, which was one the most eye-opening, amazing experiences. I cannot recommend anything more for any student than a study abroad. I feel i've made some great friends so far in college as well as realized that mechinical engineering is a field that suits my interests well. Its been valuable to attend Washington State University for a couple reasons. The career opportunities created by attending school have been important, but college has also made me realize which careers are not for me, and most importantly, being at school has reminded me of what I truly enjoy most, meeting people, experiencing new things, and traveling to interesting places.

Independence. Independence is one of the major things I have gotten out of my college experience thus far. I am no longer fully dependent on my family for money, however this time in my life has been one of heartache and the building of personal strength. Transistioning to this new life of shared rooms, new people, a world of endless possiblilities and knowledge, and the freedom to make a better life for myself has been more difficult than expected. I was not mentally prepared to be living away from my entire system of love, support, and hope, and moving was unbearable, at least until I settled in and realized that this was a huge chance for me to become something and someone. I told myself I had to be strong, that I could make it through this difficult time and come out on the other side a new person. It is now almost the end of my first year, and I have achieved my goal of strength. I am not affraid to be away any longer. I am stronger and have so much more hope because of it. I just have to tell myself "I will make it".

The most valuable lesson I have learned while at college is that perserverance is crucial to great accomplishment. My college experience has had many ups and downs and more than one serious obsticle that I have had to push through to further myself towards my goal of graduating college. Each time I was faced with an obstacle I wanted to give up and say that it wasn't worth it, but I pushed through every time and my tenacity has helped me not only in my educational career, but in my personal life as well. My struggles have helped me to appreciate the easy times and have also encouraged me to be a positive force for others that are going through some of the same difficulties that I have experienced.

I am a nursing major. The program is preparing be to be one of the best in my field. I have no regrets about pursuing nursing and WSU is invaluable in my pursuit.

A chance to grow and learn both academically as well as personally. While in college I had the opportunity to explore many different situations that allowed me experiences I would never have encountered. These situations were varied as were my responses and actions to each. It is these personal responses to the situations to be what I consider the biggest value from attending college. From ethical based encounters to uncomfortable social interactions, I have learned how to handle each with my personal viewpoint. Through this, I learned who I am, what is most important to me and how to reflect my individuality to the world in a positive light. College has allowed me to learn about the world in a steadied, supported environment. My experiences through college are the biggest value as it has prepared me thoroughly to handle life outside of the academic world. Thanks to my college experience I am now ready, eager and primed to take on the real world and all of its glory.

I will be attending college in the fall of 2010

Not too long after starting elementary school I can recall my mom telling me that college would be one of the most important things in my life, andthat no matter what I needed to go and graduate. I?ve done exactly what she said; I got into college and am on my way to earning my Bachelors degree in Anthropology, but I didn?t expect to have such great experiences while I was in school. In the past three years I found that other than debt and stress, I?ve gained valuable knowledge in how the world really works. I?ve learned that internships are extremely valuable in landing a future job and that being able to multi-task can be a life saver. Throughout my time at school I?ve been too busy studying to really see how valuable my experience has been. Looking back I see that, because of my education I know that I?ll be able to hit the ground running after graduation, giving me an advantage that I wouldn?t have had otherwise. So, in the end my mom was right and I?m now glad that she pushed me into being a college graduate.

I was able to receive work study and luckily applied to the WSU Children Center! I was able to get the job, and needless to say I LOVE IT! It was a huge development in my education and life. I switched my major from business to elementary education. I am still working on the requirements to apply to the program. I am very excited to continue on this path and hope to find a classroom to work in after I graduate. I love working with the kids, and I want to make a difference in children?s' lives. To become a teacher though one must ALWAYS continue to learn, and I think the best teachers are the kids themselves. I hope to create a give-and-take relationship with any future student I'd be lucky to have. Discovering what I want to do has been more than enough of a reward attending WSU, and for this I consider myself very fortunate!

I would tell myself to not procrastinate on assignments, and be more outgoing to meet other people. During my first semester of college, I would often wait until the last minute to do assignments. This approach varied in its effectiveness, but most often I would be up late the night before or working extremely hard right before an assignment was due just to get it in on time. Then I would feel entitled to some rest time to recover from the ordeal, where I would then put off another assignment. It was a bad cycle. Instead, I would tell myself to not wait until the final hour to finish an assignment, and also to sometimes push through weariness after a particularly difficult task. If I would've taken this strategy, I would've had more time to relate with the enormous amount of new people I have encountered on my campus. Establishing more relationships now will pay dividends in the future, which I failed to realize at the start of my college career. My first semester would have gone much better if I had changed my homework habits and befriended more people.

Dont wait go to school and get an education, it will make all the difference in your life!

Research, research, research!! No matter how much you plan or want to attend a certain school the most important thing you can do is make sure that it's the right "fit" for you and your future. Look into the opportunities (i.e. job, internship, clud, scholarship, financial aid, job rate acceptance after graduation, etc) that the school offers. Also, apply to those Ivy league schools! Even if you don't get in or cannot imagine affording tuition in the long run, apply just for the heck of it. Living with regrets in the future for not applying can only add more stress to your already hectic schedule, so go for it!

If I went back in time I would definitely tell myself to not be afraid or intimidated by the college setting. When I was a freshman I was so nervous for college. I didn't get involved in any clubs on campus because I was afraid I needed to adjust to college life. As a sophomore now, I am involved in several clubs and I have two jobs and still have time to do most the things I want to do like studying, going to the gym, and ofcourse naptime! I would encourage myself to go all out in college. It didn't take too much time to adjust. I was especially scared to live on my own without the support of my family, but since living in the dorms are required for all incoming freshman, I had a bunch of support from new friends and the faculty. I am disappointed that I didn't get involved in as much extra curricular activities as a freshman because I really enjoy the friends I've made this year and the new experiences I've been having.

Making the choice about where to attend college is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. It's important to make sure the college you attend will cater to all of your needs. The atmosphere of the college you choose is also very important. If you choose a college that you feel totally out of place at, then you won't be able to accomplish anything. I believe that it is beneficial to try new things, and what better time to do this then when you first move out and are all on your own? I know that this can be intimidating, but what do you have to lose? Making new friends in school and in your major can help you in your career and for the rest of your life. The connections you make with your professors and peers in school are priceless. Though we are in the midst of a financial crisis I think that education should not take the fall for this. An education is one of the best investments you can make, it's an investment in yourself, and I know that you will make the right decision.

I would go back and tell myself that I am the only one that has to live with the choices I make. No one else is going to make sure you don't make bad decesions or do something stupid to hurt your chances of getting what you want out of life. You need to think before you act and make sure what your doing will onyl help you in life. This may not always be easy, but your choices shape who you are and how your life turns out. Never forget that.

If I could give myself any advice, I would say to go to college with an open mind. Meet new people and broaden my education is important. I would also say to talk to professors, because the more you talk to them and they know your really want to learn they will be really willing to help you with whatever questions you have. Also, get invloved in clubs and intermerals because it is a good way to meet people who are intreasted in the same things you are. If you want to work find a job with a flexable boss and try to work for the university via the rec, because they are really good about working around you school schedule. Most importanly have fun and take time to relax because that will keep you sane. That's the advice I would give to myself if I was entering college.

Don't slack off. Get good grades in high school because they will help you get into the school you want to attend. Most importantly though, learn how to study, especially if good grades come easy to you. If you don't learn how to study in high school, college is going to be very hard. You don't have a lot of homework assignments in college; your grade depends on test scores. You need to know how to allocate your time and study (not cram) or you will struggle in college. Once you make it to college, don't stress yourself out and lock yourself in your dorm room all the time. Make friends and enjoy the experience too. Just not too much. These are some of the best days of your life AND the start of the rest of your life.

I think the first thing I would tell myself is not to go crazy my freshman year with frat parties and drinking. It's fun to do every once in a while, but I saw too many friends get caught to be worth it. Another thing would be not to get comfortable freshman year with the work load, it gets a lot harder sophomore and junior year. Appreciate the dining halls at your disposal when you're living in the dorms; after that you won't want to cook or clean after yourself in your own kitchen. Don't go in to college while still with your high school sweet heart. If it's meant to be, you'll get back together later, but at least for the first year explore all you can on your own. Make as many new friends as you can and participate in as many social events as you can. Enjoy it, it goes by fast!

I would tell myself that it is important to build time management skills and keep in mind that hanging out with friends is SECOND to my college education. I would tell myself that getting involved in campus activities is a great way to meet new people and to build my resume. It is also important to know that there is money out there for people who are willing to work for it, as far as scholarships go. There are many resources on campus that are there to help you succeed, it is just up to you to utilize those. Also, one of the most important things to understand is that you should always be yourself and continue to grow as a person. Not everyone will like you, and it is not neccesary to make others like you, not everyone is meant to click with each other, and it shouldn't be a disappointment if you don't click with someone.

I would tell myself to study more. I would advise myself to get involved in more student programs and campus activities.

Enjoy every day. Live each day to the fullest because today will never happen again. Don't stress about the small stuff. Don't worry about things beyond your control. Don't complain; focus on how awesome life is. Look at perceived obstacles as challenges to overcome. Embrace and enjoy hard work. Smile and laugh often, even at dumb jokes. Take time out of every day to do something for yourself. Go fishing or hunting, even if it means not getting an assignment completed until the night before it's due. Get involved in school and the community. Aspire to make someone else?s day better every day. It's not the end of the world to get less than an A on an assignment, or even in a class. Frequently do something spontaneous - maybe even ridiculous ? just for fun. Discover who you are and roll with the changes. Take time to enjoy the journey rather than just focus on the goal. You might be busy, but you'll never be a college student again in your life. Don?t say you don?t have time ? make time. Try many things you?ve never done. Most of all, HAVE FUN!

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior, I would tell myself to "Never let anything hold you back." I never knew what I wanted to study or what school I should attend. Of course, not knowing these things, I pushed off school because I felt like that was something that I should know before I went. Though, as I went through this last year, I've realized that many people didn't know what to do, but they found out while taking courses in college.

Work hard in your classes begining with the first class, first semester, and seek out help if you are struggling.

I would tell myself to start the college application process very early so you dont run into problems. I would tell myself to go and visit more colleges before I decide to go there. Because if the campus doenst meet your standards then it will be hard to be happy here. I would also give the advice you should also talk to someone at the college to see what they can do for you since your undecided. A college may be able to help you find a major. One very important thing I would tell myself is to make sure there is a good church in the area. this is becasue everyone needs God and a church is a great place to meet good people and they have many fun activities to keep college kids entertained and out of trouble.

I would tell the high school me that there would be plenty of time for partying and introspection later. Pull your head out of your butt and get to work!

If I could go back and talk to myself in high school, I would say to concentrate on what I wanted. To pick a career and stick to it, so that semesters aren't wasted. Also I would tell myself not to buy that shiny car next door. It runs nice, but when you live in Pullman, you walk everywhere. The last thing I would say is to relax and just be myself. College is fun, and being new there is too. It's an adventure worth the costs.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a senior, I would tell myself to suck it up and stay in the Running Start program instead of choosing a technical school. I would have graduated this year or last and have been on my way to becoming a Pharmacist already. I would also have told myself to spend more time on writing courses, because they have been my biggest challenge. I would also make the suggestion to always find an apartment with a washer/dryer in it.

Being able to go back in time to senior year of highschool would help me improve my college experience. I would tell myself to not worry so much that I am unable to play soccer anymore, because it has affected my concentration. I would explain to myself how to get through a college level class with as much ease and success as possible. I would also explain to myself that getting involved with music is a great way to balance work with time to myself; however, I would also tell myself to check schedule conflicts. Entering college is a great experience but could be better if I would have listened to what others before me had said: and not only listened but thought about in detail. Listening to others is the best way to improve your college experience, so that is the main thing I would tell myself. Lastly I would discuss with high school self the importance of sleep and time management.
