If i could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to get better grades so i could go to a good college. Im not saying the college I go to now is bad. But if I put some effort and my mind to it i could of got better grades, and went to a more notable college.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself to work as hard as ever in that last year of high school and make sure all my test, grades, and other information correct before graduation. You can start taking college classes while you're still in high school and get a head start. Also make sure you fill out college applications early and take the ACT, SAT, or CPT and make the highest score you can. After graduation you can go straight into your college courses during the summer if you're that determined. Don't procrastinate with any of the college work because it will come back and bite you. Do everything on time or earlier, that includes registrating for classes and buying books.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself about college life and making the transition, the advice I would give myself is to enjoy every moment of college. To enjoy the first day of class where you have no idea who anyone is, however a simple conversation about the course textbook starts a friendsip with the student next to you. To enjoy learning about subjects that you have never once thought of being important, until now. To enjoy being challenged and pushed to where you solve that problem and get it right. There is nothing like that feeling. To enjoy meeting diverse students who are different, however each and everyone share the same goal. Stress and anxiety will come, and that is normal. Nonetheless, when you hold that paper in your hands not only is that a moment to enjoy, but a moment of accomplishment.

Knowing what I know now about college, I would tell myself that college takes real determination, will power and hard work. It is not an easy transition from high school to college and some scenarios can be a real wake up call or eye opener if you are not fully prepared. I would also warn myself that college is not what you see on TV, even though college is fun and a once in a life time experience, there is a lot of work and studying that takes place behind the senses, you really have to be focused and have a clear mind to approach your new goals to come. Last but not least I would advise myself to have to fear, stay positive, constructive, focused and determined and you will do great! And don?t forget to Enjoy your college experience, because this is a once in a life time opportunity.

To apply to my current 4-year trasfer college, and not to let bad advice get to me, just stick to your original plan and relax. I would also tell myself to not stress out and to ease up on the fatty foods.

Kendra

The advice I would give myself is I shouldve had better study habits because right now college is harder then ever and Iam still trying to find the correct study habits so that things will get better for me.

Jay

When i left high school I thought that college was just going to be another four more boring years, but it turns out that it is not at all! Currently I am in the Aviation program and everyday that I go to school I not only attend ground school classes for aviation but I also fly as a part of the degree program. And every morning that i wake up I do not feel that I am going to school I feel like I am just getting up and going to go do what I love and that is fly and learn about aviation all day long. In conclusion if I had to go back in time and give myself advice on what to expect in college I would tell myself that it is going to be a fun four years and do not stress out so much about what people think about you, in the long run everyone is there for the same reason and that is to be an Airline Pilot.

I would stress the importance of getting an education. I was in and out of school for many years and I found out that it is well worth the effort to continue in the path of education. Getting an education and pursuing your career of choice is priceless. Times are only getting tougher out there and most companies require some sort of higher education. My advice would be to never give up on your dreams. It may get tough at times but what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger.
