If I was allowed to go back in talk to myself as a Senior I would tell myself to get prepared for a long journey. I would have prepared myself to study more because you can not get through college without doing so. I would say that it is really important to be prepared for unexpected twist and turns in my path and to make friends but not get to tied up with them. Stay focused and be able to manage school and fun all together. Also that although most classes are not mandatory, it is still very important to attend them regularly and while doing so focus in on what the teacher has to say. And that PROCRASTINATION is not the key to success, it only leads to failure. But all in all enjoy my time in college and be the best at whatever I may do.

There is a lot to be said about the transition into college, and it?s a subject that I wish I could have been more informed on before starting my freshmen year. I have learned to be independent and more mature over the last few months, and I have gained wisdom that I would have given anything to have in high school. For starters, academics are so important throughout college, and I have learned not to procrastinate or approach college tests with too much ease. I now realize how important a good night of sleep is before test day; staying up all night studying is not the answer. Take academics more seriously than high school and use this time of continued education as an opportunity to gain wisdom.The social aspect of college is also very important because it defines who one is as a person. There are many new people to meet, but I realized that best friends will not be found immediately. Everyone experiences loneliness; some people are just better at hiding their emotions. Take the time to form genuine relationships. Treasure every new friend and experience, and always try to learn or gain from every situation.

As a high school student, I would put college number on the list as soon as I graduated from high school. I would do as well in high school and keep good grades. I would talk with other people and find out if anyone was considering the same college ,in order, to possibly make living arrangements with them. I would be as much involved with the school's activities, so it was possible to meet and interact with as many individuals as possible. However, the most important, study hard and do my best. The better the GPA, the easier to transition into graduate to futher your education.
