If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior. Knowing what about college and making the transition, the advice I would tell myself never give on yourself ,never feel like everything is your fault and blame yourself that all th bad things happen to yourself. Take your studies more serious and keep your gpa up. Open your mouth went you ned help and stop be shy and shame of yourself.

If i could go back in time and talk to myself in high school I would tell myself to take my grades and classes seriously and take your time when choosing a school. College is serious and its where you spend four to five years getting your bachelor's degree so you want to make sure you like to environment and make sure its a good fit for you. Also, never settle always look for better and prosper yourself.

Knowing what I know now, I would tell myself to be more consistent with my everyday activities like applying for scholarships, working out for football, and focusing harder on my academics. I would tell myself to listen to my parents more often instead of being rebellious and conceited. College is not a joke and I need to prepare myself by considering help from everyone around that willing to provide. I need to reduce my anger problems and learn how to humble myself. I should have taken my college visits a little more seriously and did my research on every school I applied to. I should have been more patient with choices of colleges instead of just choosing schools where my crushes were going or where there was a lot of partying. I would have told myself to keep my fast-food job instead of quitting because I needed pocket money for school in order to survive on my own. I would have taught myself how to sit and study more often for subjects in high school and the SAT. I would tell myself to let go of my old friends that were bad influence.

If i could go back into time being a senior and change some of the choices that i made because the have effected my life more than i have know they ever could . One step that i would have taken was making sure that i did great onto my test scores so that i could have been able to recieve my football scholarship coming out of high school. With that being said i know that would have helped me alot with paying for my tution also. However , some other advice i would give myself is time management because it is everything reason being said is because you have to know when,where,how,and what . You have to know all of the previous words so that you can be ready for the college life. High school seniors are spoiled and do not understand the responsibilites of the college life . Some other advice that i would go back and talk to myself about is trying to make sure that i had developed the focused mindset so that i wouldnt have to worry about all the little distractions that come alone with the mindless behavior of coming out of high school years.

William

If there were any possible way for me to go back in time and talk to my former self i would stress the importance of studying and preparing for the future. I would constanly remind my self that time isn't infinite and i must prepare for the future as soon as possible or i would likely be in a terrible economic situation as i am now. Most importantly i would tell my self that in order to survive own my i have to put in enough effort so that i may one day succed in life.

Dear Senior Me,Some chances are like fire crackers, they flash before your eyes and then they’ll disappear. Hold on tight to golden opportunities! Don’t bruise yourself over friendships that have expired, because in college, you'll just make life-long ones. Steven will probably break your heart out of the blue and have no explanation. It's okay. Joy will come with time and so will the right guy. Remember the time you failed your Algebra II test because you thought it would be a breeze? Please refrain from taking those chances in college; it's not worth the ugly grade that will threaten your fabulous GPA. Brace yourself for classes like Statistics that leave you wondering if you’re intellectually worthy enough. Shrug it off, because a dove doesn't have fins, or a fish, wings…but both species turned out just fine, and so will you! Don’t be discouraged by people with condescending comments just because you’re an English major. Oh, by the way, congrats on your admission into your dream school. All that hard work has reaped you great rewards, my friend. Have a blast at UCLA! Yours truly, College You

I would start by encouraging my past self, letting myself know that I am worth something and that I have the potential to do whatever it is I want, no matter what anyone says. I'd tell myself to learn the value of prioritizing my time between study, work, and play; be more active in researching and learning new things. Teach myself how to handle financial aspects and learn the value of saving money as well as investing. But most importantly, I would tell myself to believe in what I want to do, and believe in myself.

If i could have went back in time i would have said, check out some others school in stead of just going for the one who gived you a scholarship. I also would have said stay on top of your grades because your GPA is everything in college.
