Do not worry about what people will think of your choice of school, your degree will speak for itself, trauma psychology for the Red Cross is noble without a big name school to back it up, you will prosper with people and sisters who care about you even at a small school that many haven't heard about yet. But you can be the one to tell them about it. Don't worry about what roomate you will be asigned but don't become too attached because its possible that you may need to distance yourself from her, also don't date the first guy to show an interest in you, get to know him first so you can avoid that mistake. Take storage compartment for under your bed and shoe rack for your closet, and bring your earing holder! The turning thing you bought will not be good enough! But relax, you already know how to transition into way harder situations than this!

I would have given much more emphasis to my studies, I would have devoted heart and soul to consider before thinking about marriage. would have grown professionally first.

I would tell myself that college is not at all like high school and that you should really listen and take in consideration of what your teachers and all the college recruiters and other people that have college experice are saying to you. When you get there class is not a game, you're professors will help you as much as they can but they will not baby you at all. Your work must be done and turned in on time, you will not make it through writing high school level papers so you should continue to freshen up on your writing skills and have a study schedule. I would also tell myself about not only managing my time but managing my money because financial aid is nothing to play with, you dont want to dig yourself a whole filled with student loan debt. I would also tell my self to save the money i collect on graduation day. Then i would tell my younger self about all the fun college has to offer also and that you can have fun but not too much fun, there is a time to play and a time to get serious.

Christopher, college is much more difficult than high school. There are actually less test, but they are worth more than tests taken in high school. There could be only two test throughout the whole semester that will determine your grade, so study, study, study! Being a freshman in college is similar to being a freshman in college, except you actually get a chance to live at the place go to school, this is, if you live on campus. Oh, and be careful about who you select as your roomate, your best friend may not be the best choice. All in all, you will have fun, it will be an experience that is definitely worth taking.

The big transition into college was a new experience and a big responsibility. Here are some key things to remember. There are no parents to remind you to do things, so you have to write things down in case you forget. Also stay friendly, but don’t let people take your kindness for weakness. People love to take advantage of kind people because it’s hard for us to say no. Don’t be afraid to put your foot down and let them know how you feel about a situation, stand up and express yourself. Join clubs and get involved because it makes life so much more fun and you will have less stress that way. Ultimately the hardest adjustment to make in college is with time management. Most college students fail to establish enough study time and therefore their poor grades start to show. Unlike most college students, you need to choose to establish a goal for the more important things, and the leisure or fun activities fit in where they can. Even when you feel like backing down from the challenges that life throws at you, keep the faith and remember to stay focused on what’s important.

There are many things I would love to say if I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior. First, I would tell myself that it is not as easy as it sounds. I wish I would have known that just because I didn't have to study then to do well didn't mean that I wouldn't have to work hard for my college education. I would also tell myself that I don't have it "all figured out" like I think I do. There is so much more out there other than your small home town. It's important to get out and meet people. It helps you build upon who you already are and are meant to be. College is not just about the book work, but it is also about finding your passion and how you want to utilize that to give back to your community. I would tell myself that I am meant for great things and to take full advantage of it the entire journey.

I would tell myself not to take classes I wasn't sure I could handle that I didn't need, and to stop procrastinating. I would've told myself to study, and always make time for classwork.

I would definitely tell myself to buckle down and focus on my schoolwork because first semester I didn't take my schoolwork seriously and I failed one class. I would say to myself, "Don't party as much!!". I have definitely changed since my first semester of college.

I have learn that GSW does not have all the classes i need to fullfill my career, so i will be transferring Fall 2011.

Through my college experience, I have learned to be independent in my studies.
