If I had to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would have convince myself harder to take my SAT/ACTs in my junior year of high school so I would have more time to repeat the test if necessary. I also; would have applied for scholarships when I was told too. I procrastinated way too long and at the end of my senior year I didn't have anything. Seeing my fellow classmates on stage at the awards ceremony was a big eye opener, everyone receiving scholarships and I thought to myself I am just as smart as they are but they were on the ball faster than I was. So if I had to give advice to anyone it would be to start early as possible.

In high school my biggest concern was fitting in. I worried too much about the little things and tried to be someone I wasn't. When I arrived at college my first day I still felt like I was walking through the halls of my high school. My stomach was in knots and I thought everyone was judging me. What I didn't realize was that everyone else was just as distraught as I was. As time went on I made the most amazing friends in college and we always joke that none of us would have been friends in high school. Meeting new people has taught me to not be so self-conscious and I now have a new confidence in me that I never had before. Looking back, I would assure my high school self that I am good enough the way I am even with my flaws and that all my worrying is a waste of energy.

Wow! Just like in the movie LEGALLY BLOND" part 1. How exciting would be to step foot in the new campus, imagine the indepently life in the dorm with new friends! Yes ,the fun begins but education is always come first. Being a third child in the family of 5 siblings, I promissed myself to get a good education and be a good member for the society. Making the enviroment more healthy to live in. And I think what ever challenge I have to face, I will eventually get adapted and conquered although it won't be easy at first. I am going to be sucessful to become what I like to do in life and make the world to be better place to live (just like the end of the movie!)

Ever since I was young, I always looked forward to the ever popular "college life." Sooner than I thought, the day came for me to walk down the aisle and graduate from high school. I would be off to college within 3 months. Now that I'm already half way through my first year, there are many things I wish I would have known during my high school years that could have prepared me for my college adventure. The first piece of advice I would give myself would include staying calm when move in day would come. I remember being so nervous when in all actuality, this lifestyle really isn't that difficult. I feel a positive attitude toward the situation really makes a difference and allows the time to be more enjoyable. Another piece of advice I'd give myself would be to dream huge things and realize that my high school years really did help prepare me for these college years. I wish I would have taken high school more seriously. Overall, I would remind myself that I can do anything I want because I've got people around me to help me along the way always.

Unfortunately, I took 2 years off of school to decide what I want to do with my future. I was undecided whether I wanted to go to college or join the military. Knowing what I know now about college, I would go back and convince myself that college was the right choice. Although it can be stressful with all of the school work and the lack of money to help with the cost, college will be the most logical choice. After graduating college, you will obtain a degree that stays with you for the rest of your life. In today's day and age, a college education is almost necessary to become successful and ensures you that you will always have a job. I would tell myself to save as much money as I can and to prepare myself mentally for the obstacles ahead. I would also tell myself that I have the ambition and the knowledge to succeed and do well throughout my college career.

The advice I would give myself would be to not have slacked off so much in my senior year because high school to college is a big transition. College is much different than high school and you have to do most of your work on your own. No one helps you to get through it. I, also, would have told myself to be an active learner because that is what the professors look for in college, so I wish I could have trained myself for that.

The decision of college is big because it dictates the next four years of life. If I could give my younger self any advice, it would be to arrange priorities correctly. The highest priority should be major choice. Pick the school best suited for your major. Yes friends and other social activities are important but your education comes first. Next, where friends go to school should not determine your decision. Everyone is nervous and scared about going off to a new place and not knowing anyone. Since most freshman are in that situation there's no need to worry, you'll definitely make new friends. Unfortunately, another priority that is important in todays economy is cost. You want to go to a university with a good program for your major but one that's within price range. Piling up debts that will take years to pay off after graduation is not a good idea. Save the dream school with the best in the nation reputation for grad school. Undergraduate school can be a more affordable choice. Finally make sure you go to a school where you'll be happy. Stick to your personal wants and dont conform to anyone elses.

Take schooling seriously. Use high school to help your prepare for college. Your high school education is just as important as your college education. Don't rush into picking a major unless you are 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} sure that it's something you want to do on a daily basis for many years to come. Balance your academic life with your social life. Both are important. Go to a community college for your first year or two. If you go away to college straight from high school, you're more likely to make bad decisions. Give yourself another year or two to mature and get the "feel" of college. In high school, many teachers "help" you to be responsible. They give you constant reminders of assignments due, test dates, etc. When you go to college, YOU and ONLY YOU are responsible for YOU. College professors are there to teach, and teach only. Most professors will not continuously remind you of items that will be due.

First and Foremost, it is important for me to remember and keep the values of life that I have been taught by my parents. As I leave the high school atmosphere and enter the college life, I must not let everyone I meet in life influence me in any way. Only those who have grown up on the similar principles of life must I let have a positive impact on me. There are going to be many temptations and trials that I will have to experience on my own. In high school, my parents, mentors, and others that steered me in the right direction are right here with me, physically. In college, they still will be with me but spiritually. That is the big difference. When that little voice inside of me is telling me the difference between right and wrong, it is a matter of listening to it or ignoring it. Decisions will be key in the next chapter that I call the book of life. I will make out better if I analyze my decisions, instead of making them without any thought.
