The advice that I would give myself if I could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior is that your general courses matter. General courses are just as important as core courses because they are the bulk of your grade point average. I would also tell myself to learn how to write well because you will be writing many essays and research papers for the next four to six years. Stay focused on your life goals and do not become absorbed in having college social life. Sure, have fun and enjoy your youth but also remember there is life after youth. When you enter college, you began to build the foundation of your life. You have to look good on paper. When you apply for a job, which will be primarily online, the employer is look at your accomplishments, credentials and often times your college transcripts. What do you want that employer to see? What on your application sets you apart from the other applicants? Always give your optimal performance and take pride in your work. You are an A student so do not settle for less than that.

The main advice I would give myself as a high school senior about to embark in the transition of transferring to a University is learn how to adapt to your surroundings and learn how to develop appropriate time management. As a full time college student you generally have assignments due every week on specific days and at specific times and although those specific assignment deadlines usually are inconvienent to a students schedule (to those who work, especially full time jobs) it can become very hard for a student to keep up and quite easy to get behind. Therefore, learning how to use proper time management is essential in a higher educational environment. Another advice I would give to myself is to never give up. Never give up on striving to be the best student you can be. Never let your High School teachers and principle or anyone else tell you that "you are not good enough". Never stop reaching for the goals you want for yourself and creating the academic foundation of excellence in order to reach them. As an ADA student, I have encountered countless obstables and face more every day.

I would tell myself not to worry so much about the destination but to enjoy the ride. Going to a college strait out of high school was intimidating but I really should have stopped stressing and instead have been more relaxed.

Stay in school and finish what I started. It's alot easier fresh out of high school than to go back at 43 with a family life.

My experience was very positive. I learned the importance of hard work and studying. I feel I have successfully entered the work environment with a soild base of information a good education. It was important for me to interact with my fellow students and doing so helped me relize the benefit of working in a group.

My college education has been valuable for several reasons. First, it has allowed me to explore many subjects that are of interest to me. I entered college with no idea of what I wanted to major in, and being exposed to many areas of study has allowed me to become a well-rounded person as well as helped me refine my goals. Second, I have had the opportunity to learn from and with some incredible people. I will forever be thankful to the professors and classmates who have challenged and inspired me. Finally, it has taught me the importance of critical thinking. Creative problem solving and thinking outside the box are important skills to possess after graduation. Through my educational exploration I have come to the decision that I want to become a librarian, an occupation requiring a Master's degree. After taking an American Sign Language class on a whim I became interested in Deaf culture; I now hold an Associate's degree in ASL studies. In the future I would like to combine my interests in order to make library materials and programs available to Deaf patrons and help address issues surrounding Deaf literacy.

Ashley, you should really strive to do your best with everything you have got. Work on your study habits. Although you will do really well in college, assume the responsibility that you know you are capable of. In the future, you will understand why you have had these opportunities as a senior. You need to apply for more scholarships even though you will get a few, it will not be enough in the future. College is expensive and you know that mom and dad can not pay for it; so use your time and knowledge very wisely. No matter what put education first and then worry about everything else later. Be careful, be safe, and try your best in every thing you do and you will succeed.

I would tell myself how important it is to excel in the course you are enrolled in. College is where you begin working toward your career. It is always important to strive and finish assignments and coursework on time and to the best of your ability. College is a time in your life to LEARN. So learn from others, help teach others, and remember..always strive to do your best!

Apply yourself to suceed in life.

Take time out of your school career to decided what you want to do with your life. Find something that you truly love to do, and then see how an education will benefit your choice. Always look at your courses as your job and remember that all assignments are due before the due date. Do not be afraid to express your thoughts and ideas. By communicating with others, a good idea can easily be turned into a great idea. The relationships that you make in college will go with you for the rest of your life. Value your friends and always be an asset to your friends.

As a high school student, I would put forth more effort into studying and preparing for exams.

Go on to school and don't waste any time. I'm 32 and a single parent of a 7 yr old...don't immediately get married out of high school such as I did. There will be plenty of time for that in the later years, be sure you can take care of you!

If I could talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to complete my educational goals now. Do not put it off. Education is so important and it is easier to complete it before you are married and before you have three children.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself to learn to study. Learn how to take notes and also learn to manage your study time to get the best results. I would also tell myself not to party and pay attention in class. I would also tell myself that for the first year of college take all of your basic classes and don't worry so much about declaring your course of study. Research all of your ideas for a career and find the best school that offers what you are looking for in a college. I would also tell myself to concentrate on school and not worry about building a serious relationship or getting married until after I graduate from college.

Whenever they find a college they like - stick with it. Moving around can cause a lot of trouble later on in temrs of transfering the alredy earned credits. Nowdays, almost every college has an online program. In the case of relocation try to use this way of learning instead of moving to another college. Then, of course, watch the price as well as research the scholarships and all means of financial aid way in advance since I have come to find out too late that some colleges only offer financial aid the first semester. The choice of an academic advisor is crucial. If you are not happy with the advisor you have make the necessary steps to change that. Have a ready program of study before you start school and be clear as to what classes you need to take and stick to it. Bad advising has also caused me to waste credit hours.

The sheer number of colleges, both 2- and 4-year schools, make the array of choices you make after the decision to pursue higher education dizzying. Distance learning programs now offered by most schools only add to the number of choices. Attending college is easier than ever in some ways, and my advice would be to list every factor important to you, in order of priority, and look for the option that fits the most of them. It's almost guaranteed there will be a college program there for you somewhere. However, it's important to keep in mind that what you want in a college may change over time. As a parent and a student, finding the right college for me was a very easy decision. I wanted an affordable, close-to-home university that offered convenience and ease of transfer. I would simply advise parents and students to keep the value of an education in mind and never give up on the pursuit of bettering yourself.

I would tell parents and/or students to find a college that they will feel comfortable at and that is challenging to them. I would recommend choosing a college that has a caring and helpful staff. To make most of the college experience, I would tell them to always do your very best and take advantage of all the resources that the college is offering.
