College can be such a rewarding experience if you get involved. Any univeristy can have the family affect on a student, if you let it.

Although my college transition has been fairly simple, I wish I could have gone back in time and warn myself about some aspects of college. If I could go back in time I would tell myself that being a good student isn't the only thing necessary in becoming successful. College is extremely expensive and saving money is one of the key components in becoming successful in college. I would also advise myself to partake in more community service activities to set myself a part from my colleagues who ran for the Silver Knight award. Many scholarships involve taking action in the community, therefore had I known how competitive the race for the Silver Knight award was, I would have put in more hours helping others outside of my own comfort zone. Even though my transition in college would have been easier had I had enough for books, nothing's worse than knowing you could have done more.

I would have told myself , college is not as hard as it seems. I would have say lisenting is the best tool for college. No matter what the professor said just do exactly what he or she says and you will make it through for college. I also want to tell myself have a plan and stick to it. Always have a plan on what you want to do and stick to it. Do not wait for the last minute to do your plan, or else it can screw you over.

If I were able to go back in time and give myself some advise, for starters I would have taken the SAT more seriously. Instead of just going into the test without any real preparation I would take the initiative to attend some SAT classes that help you better understand what it is the test is trying to examine you on, as well as prepare you for the subject areas that were going to be covered in the test. Secondly, I would have taken better advantage of the dual enrollment classes that were offered in my High School because they were free of charge, and I would have not only saved money & time, but would have been more prepared for my college education. Lastly, I would definitely highly recommend myself to write down my goals short as well as long and have a concrete idea of what I wanted to do and how long it would take me to attain them.

If I could go back in time I would tell myself three things. First I would say college is not going to be easy and that if you want to suceed foucus on a goal and stive for it. Second I would let myself known that things will not always go the way they were palnned always have a plan B. Fianlly I would say have fun and enjoy the rest of High School these will be some of the greatest moments in your life.

To be able to go back to my high school days! Just to be able to experience a day with less weight on my shoulders and pressure to succeed sounds tempting. However my high school self would appreciate and benefit more if I went back with sound wisdom and not a plea from the future to relive the past. I wouldn't tell me anything new, I wouldn?t want to ruin the delight and importance of new self discoveries, but I would stress how easy it is to fall behind in what is most important, our academia. I would remind myself that in this race called life, the ones who win the prize of the degree with honors are the ones who made the social sacrifices to prepare for those tests and projects. Never underestimate an assignment, and the time that it would take to complete it, if it?s so quick and menial then just do it. Lastly, I would remind myself that the people who I would sacrifice my school work for to have a social life, will not be able to help me when companies do not hire me due to lacking knowledge.

If I were a high school senior, the advice that I would give myself before picking a college is to do a lot of research. Before attending a university, a student should focus on what they want to accomplish while they attend the university. For example what kind of clubs or classes are they interested in participating and if their university offers them. As well, it is important that a student finds out before attending, what kind of bachelor degree the university offers. In other words, does the university offer a Bachelor of Arts degree or a Bachelor of Science degree. This is very important because each bachelor holds different criteria. For example, a Bachelor of Science will allow the student to explore more indepth research studies about their major, while a Bachelor of Arts will only give them the opportunity to learn the history and basic knowledge of their major. Finding out what kind of degree the student wants is very important to learn before hand because not all universities offer both degrees, they might only offer one. Lack of knowing can cause a student to have to transfer out in the middle of the year to another university.

If I could go back in time I would tell myself to see a psychologist. I would tell myself I would be in college for 3 years failing a few classes while getting C's in everything else. I would tell myself that I had given up on being my dream of being a civil engineer. I will tell myself that by chance I saw a psychologist and was diagnosed with A.D.D.I. a variation of attention deficit disorder, Since then I was getting A's and B's in all my classes and on my way to be a civil engineer.

If I had this opportunity I would sit myself down and explain the importance of proper study habits, prioritizing what I truly want out of my college experience and how to manage a high acedemic course line up with a balance of campus life.
