I would tell my self to look for more scholoarships. I would also tell my self when picking colleges aso look at the price t cost to go there because as of now the price of tuition is a problem.

If I could go back in time into high school I would certainly change my attitude towards my academic work. I am a senior now and get straight A's, but my most important year of high school( Junior year) I slacked off and was only an average student. I woul every better opportunites for getting more scholarships and into a better college. Although this is a huge regret on my part I still don't dwell on it, because I know I am making up for it by getting high honors now. I also take two early college courses that th EC4ME program in Maine pays for, and it is great to get ahead of the gang and start my liberal studies early. I'm also getting goo grades in these two classes. So all in all I'd tell myself to learn to work hard in high school, because it will better your future in the long run even if it doesn't seem that way.

A word of warning: It may seem like you have so much more time now that you’re not in class for 8 hours a day five days a week, but you cannot use those fifteen hours a week in class to do homework. That will take twice as much time on your own time. You won’t want to do homework on Friday night, or on Saturday, or during lunch, but if you don’t do it then you’ll spend every morning before class, sometimes at three in the morning, trying to catch up. There is no such thing as a ten minute assignment in college, and the five-hundred word essay no longer exists. Everything is new and exciting; you have freedom you never had before, and in your rush to experience it all you might forget how much you’re paying for the school you’re attending. Make the most of those classes, because if you have to leave and start up somewhere else, it’s not fun to have paid for credits you can’t use because you got an Incomplete in the class. You will never have too much time, so utilize every second.

Find out who you are. Find out what you want to do and what it takes to get there. Find out what you cannot and will not do. Find these things and stick to them. Tempation is going knock and it will knock hard, it will knock more than once, way more than once, but it is important that you stay true to yourself. Make good decisions so that you can fulfill your dreams. Struggle now for sucess later or play now struggle later. Its up to you. ! Time management is also very important. All work no play is not healthy but you need a healthy balance. Not too much work and definietly not too much play. ! But overall enjoy this time. You will never get it back.

I totally wish I could do this... I would tell myself to stop slacking and wasting time doing nothing. Stop hanging out with the friends I have been hanging out with, focus on school, apply for scholarships, and don't be lazy. I would've told myself that things would be so much easier than how it is right now If I would focus in school and only school not focusing on friends or my social life but to put all of the focus on school.

I would tell myself to calm down and not be so stressed out about it. Yes college is work but if you're willing to do it, its not that difficult. Plus I'm going to school for culiary arts so its not like I didnt have any idea what I was getting into. I would just tell myself to take some deep breaths and to relax. Also not to pack so much stuff, moving into an apartment takes a long time in the first place, but add way too much stuff into the equasion and you're in for an entire day of lugging stuff up three flights of stairs. College life hasnt really been too difficult for me so I guess the only advice I would have needed would be to relax and be confident in my abilities.

Tom, listen up! You better learn and study all that you can every day. Your future depends upon it. Get help when need it. Especially in math. You know weakest subject is math. Get a tutor.

As a senior in high school, the first step is to apply for scholarships now. although you can still apply in college, you become overwhelmed with school work and activities.

I would tell myself to do what you want to do and study alot harder, try not to get senoritis too early. I would also tell myself not to rush senior year. This is a time where everything is basically handed to you. When you go off to college you have to work for everything that you want, so take advantage of this time now. You don't have anything to lose.

I would advice myself to apply for more scholarships so i will not be forced to take out loans.

If I were to go back into time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would say self, and self would say hmm? And I would respond saying, please do not fall into the cracks of college. Make sure you obtain the necessary skills from high school such as writing well and being able to read and interpret long passages. Also, my advice to my younger self would be to continue to do what you are doing.

Apply for various of scholarships because in the long run it will be worth it. College is fun , but you also have to manage your time and be mindful of your priorties. You have to be able to work and play and most of all study and make sure your professors know exactly who you are.

If I had the oppurtunity to travel back in time and give myself pointers about college life I would tell myself to become agressive with the search for scholarships. So many times during my Senior year of high school I got distracted when I should have been searching for scholarships. My matriculation so far has been some what stressful due to financial problems. These problems could have been avoided if i would have taken the time to look for scholarships to put towards my education. I had so many chances to apply but I was such a procratinator then and still even to this day I suffer from procrastination only now I have more drive to help my mother as she struggles on a daily basis to see me receive a college education. So I would sit myself down and tell him how much easier scholarships would make life for our family. I would then give him tips on time management and share how important studying is in college.

You graduated from high school onthe honor roll and have the ability to do anything you want! You should fulfill your dream of being a pilot and joined the Air Force. You may have been retired by now in addition to getting benefits such as money to go to college to prepare you financially for life for when you are older. Don't wait until you are 48 years old to return to school, when its harder and you now work full-time to pay the bills and try to find scholarships for someone is returning to college to re-career themself. You may have to help support your mother who is now disabled and needs financial assistance in addition to taking time weekly to help them do some of their daily needs. This is quite challenging when you are trying to get good grades in college as you strive to obtain a better life to be able to provide that needed support your parent needs.

I would give myself the advice of better preparing myself. I would have made a better effort in attending more advanced classes, such as English courses. College is all about having the ability to write an outstanding essay. It’s a lot more challenging when your skills in writing aren’t on the college level. Also, I would have also decided to immediately go to college once I graduated high school. Also, I should had applied for numerous scholarships to help financially. Financing for college is one of the most stressful aspects to overcome as a student.
