There are so many things I wish someone would've mentioned to me when I was in high school, but like many other seniors, I probably would've ingored the advice anyways. To begin with, don't spend your senior year wishing it away. Instead, utilize the time to explore various campuses and career options. State schools may not be ivy league schools, but they can provide you with good education at an affordable cost. Get a job or an internship in the area you wish to pursue to be sure that's really what want to do. Take advantage of opportunities presented and maximize resources provided. Get to know faculty on a personal level-they are a great resource. Participate in various school activities and societies that will benefit you and your career. And most importantly, DO NOT procrastinate. Your wasting your time learning things short term only to pass a test. Study daily to keep things in long term memory so that you can build a foundation for continual learning-your job will thank you.

I just complete my first semester in college. It was a big wake up call for me. Like most 18 years old I associate college life with freedom from home and party all the time. I discover a different reality. You are on your own, no parents to wake you up in the morning when you oversleep. You have no one to help you manage your time and most of the time bad time management can result in missing classes and failing test. My big advice to myself as a high school senior is to take more AP classes and also the SAT 2 biology. As I am getting ready to start my second semester my advice to myself is to try not to procrastinate and to use my time wisely.

The college experience is comparable to the process of making a good friend; it takes time to find one worth spending time with, requires you to analyze desirable and undesirable characteristics, and guarantees to change your life. Therefore, while trying to find the best college for you, find one that will treat you like a friend, too; find a college that wants to have you around, just as you are, will treat you right, and doesn't just befriend you for your money. Also, look at that college's other "good friends," the ones that already hang out around the college; consider whether this is a group of friends that you want to spend the next few years with. If the college meets these requirements, congratulations- you found the right one. At college, make the most of it by including three essential components: academics, fun, and sleep. Do not allow any part to prevent you from participating in another component. Missing out on any detracts from the overall experience. Above all, make the most of it by finding a place where you want to be now, and that will help you arrive where you want to be in the future.

When looking for a college, make sure you visit the campus and talk with actual students that go to the school. Students are the people who really know what it is like. Think about what you want to gain out of your college experience before attending and if you have a career in mind make sure that the school you choose offers that major. Think about if you are the kind of person who likes to go home on the weekends and the location of your school. All of these decisions will help you gain the most out of your college experience.

I would tell them to find a college that offers stuff that interests them and that has a lot of stuff going on. They need to find a college that has a good balance of academics and fun.
