The best advice I could give myself would continue with college life that I have so far. Since college life would be the door to face a quality of life responsible, educated and with a good profession. Besides we expand our knowledge and know people with our own thinking.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself about I would tell myself about tuition and to apply to as many scholarships as possible. I would make myself do as many scholarships as possible so i could get money and i would not have to worry about taking out student loans today. I would also tell myself to get a job so I would not have started college with no money. I would have told myself to save as much money as possible and to have botten a car so i would not have to be walking to places. Lastly, I would tell myself to have done better in my personal statement that i did to apply to some UC schools since i did not think it was good enough. I do not regret coming to the school I am attending but i would be happy knowing that i tried my best in my personal statement.

i would say. to go with my gut feeling and insticnt when it comes to picking the right school for you. i would say to utilize all the studying habits you learned in high school. save money now because you will most defenitly help you in the end and to not be discouraged by the amount that it cost to seek more scholarships and finacial help. there is hope and there is help out there and finacial assistance you just have to be willing to put in the work to find it. :)

If I could go back and talk to any high school senior and give any pointers or advice I would say that time management is the biggest adjustment you have to make going into college. When you go to college you are hit with so many changes you have to adapt quickly otherwise you will fall behind, when you start the first thing that is noticeably different is the amount of down time you have in college. Even though you have a lot more time to have on your own you should get your school work done first because procrastinating will always result in an obstacle. Another piece of advice I would give is no matter how far away or close you are to your family stay in contact with them. Your parents are used to being a part of your everyday life. Once you move out or even start attending college have started on this new journey that is the beginning of your new life and all your parents want is the best for you. Family will always be there for you through thick and thin. And last but not least enjoy your college years they are the best!

Going back as a high school senior would allow me to tell myself so many things. For starters I would have told myself to study abroad for a semester. This became especially appart after I served in an orphanage in Africa for two weeks. I also feel like I would have told myself to prepare more for college, such as finding more scholarships for college early on. I also wish I would have explored other swimming and water polo programs in order to find the best fit.

College is easy and the transition to college life is easier than you think. Be excited because this new chapter in your life is an important one, but it goes by extremely fast. Everything happens for a reason, so learn from your mistakes for they'll make you wiser. In college, you will grow spiritually, mentally, and physically. You will push yourself pass limits you thought you could handle. You are never alone, even when you feel misunderstood. When you feel like you have hit rock bottom in life, remember if this is the bottom, up is the only way you can go. Two sayings to live by: 'Carpe Diem' and 'Momento Mori'. Carpe Diem mean live each day to the fullest; so regret nothing. Momento Mori mean remember that we are all mortal and we will all eventually die; so live each day as if it was your last. Life longer, Love deeper, Laugh harder!

Dont rush yourself. Be postively sure that you are in a place where you can place everything you have into your college experience. Take as much time as you need and dont listen to the clock ticking. Happiness is more important than grades. Be yourself and dont forget about where you came from. Know your goal and always stick with it. You always dreamed of becoming an attorney and you will, but do not sacrifice your well being for others expectations. You have made it this far and you always knew deep down you would be successful. It is emparitive that you are in the right place when you enter college. Keep your dreams high. You can become the president. Always fight for loyalty, equality and your friends the way you always have. Never bend or bidge on your goals. Never forget about your dreams, always help your friends. The difference between those who make it and those who don't is ambition. Dont be too abrasive, but prepare for a battle. It will not be easy, but you have done just fine alone your whole life and you will continue when your ready for dollege. Bend, don't break.

Looking back, it seems as though my senior year of high school has passed by me without time to really enjoy it! As a senior, I felt that I was so eager to graduate high school and go on to college that I lost some of the nostalgia and enjoyment of being a senior. It was the final year for me to enjoy spending time with my classmates and relish the memories I had created with them. Transitioning to a new college was not easy at first, but I have learned to enjoy the different people around me and the diverse things that they can offer. It is important to enjoy the moment and realize that academics should not be the only core of your focus while attending college. I suppose if I had to sum up advice to myself during my senior year at high school, it would be as follows; enjoy the time you have left with your classmates and friends. Do not be too anxious about the future, but rather enjoy each day you have with those around you. Make sure to not only live life, but to live life in the moment.

Marlon, I know that the future looks stressful. SAT tests to take, college applications to look over, and financial aid will all take toll while you cram for exams and search for that perfect Prom tuxedo. I just want to tell you though, "No worries!" Like Grandma always tell you, "If anything good will happen, it will" and it definitely does in the end. I know you have put in a ton of work your past three years in high school, and trust me when I tell you that it will all pay off. I know that your mother isn't there to support you when it gets tough, but the emotional strength that you develop this senior year will give you the courage throughout any struggle in college. Remember to constantly spend time with your siblings and never forget to thank your father for the advice and wisdom he has given you in your senior year endeavors. Don't slack off for those AP exams and study hard for those finals you're taking at the community college. Stay close with your best friends and most importantly, make sure you have fun! Good luck!

The advice I would give myself from the best when I was a high school senior is that to study harder in high school. Because I slacked alot in high school and now that I am in college I learned that college two times harder than high school. And if I were to study harder in high school I would have a better study habit and could have gotten more scholarships with that high GPA. And also to be more active with my highschool, such as joining clubs or joining the leadership group. Because it looks better on your application and it also builds character as I am in college.
