As a highschool senior I would definitely tell myself that academics are really important because it determines how much money you will receive from financial aid. I would also tell myself to not be nervous and that everyone is scared to be in a new place with all new people but it is the experience that will make it all worth it. It is truly a wonderful privilege to go to college and as a highschool senior you need to choose the school best for you. Drinking will occur at every college but you should stick to what you believe in and do what you feel is right. There will always be peer pressure but you are well respected, most of the time, if you stand up for yourself and do what you feel is right. Ultimately, be yourself you will make friends and have a good time but choose the school right for you. Take your time in deciding and really go where you think you will be most comfortable, no one else's opinion matters.

If I could go back in time and visit myself when I was a high school senior I would have much advice to offer. I would first explain how college life is nothing to be afraid of rather a wonderfully fulfilling experience that can only lead to positive growth. I would tell my younger self to fear not the journey ahead and to instead embrace it. Do not veer away from college enrollment to seek fulltime employment in the working world, continue your schooling and enjoy the time of a collegebound youth.

I would advise myself to look at as many scholarships as possible so that it will be able to cover most of the cost for your tuition. Talk to your adviser about what you want to do in your future, they will steer you in the right direction. Pick the school that you can invision yourself being in. Good luck and get started! The sooner th better, never wait until last minute!!!!

When you get to college, be sure to make a lot of friends early, but remember to continue studying and not to slack off. That'll get you into some monetary trouble as a senior.

I would tell myself to get in the habit of studying yourself. No one will hold your hand in college and it's time to become an adult. Teachers are not going to ask if your assignment is complete and they won't baby you like in high school. The teacher job is to guide you and you will have to learn on your own. I would also tell myself to work harder in my classes. Although I have come a long way and very proud of myself for acheiving my goal, it would have been easier for me to participate more in Chemistry because it could have helped me so much in my freshman year of college.

Read more psychology books before entering and take a statistic class. Save more money!

If I had a chance to go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself, or anyone else, to do what is right for you. Instead of going to school for what I truly wanted to become, I listened too much to others, who didn't share or support my dream. I fully believe, now, if I had gone to school to become the Choral Teacher I had always wanted to be, I would have finished college. Instead, I didn't. I also didn't finish a college carreer. So many of my friends are now done with school and I'm now wishing I had finished my schooling. Follow your dream no matter what!

I would tell myself, to let go of all the crap that happened at the end of the summer. Go to college, enjoy the life, hang out with your new friends. Actually allow yourself to go down the city and visit other schools with them. Don't be so uptight, and try to befriend Devin, your life will be so much better if you do those things! Also, keep your mouth shut and listen to what others have to say.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself to keep my options open and go with my gut feelings. I would tell myself to do some research on my interests and think hard about why I want to attend college. I would warn myself about how I switched my major, and try to talk myself out of it. Overall I would tell myself not to worry so much, and that everything works out great in the end.
