Furthering ones education is essential to getting ahead in life in this day in time. Given the ability to reflect on the knowledge I now have learned about college life and making the transition, I would follow a few simple best practices: 1. Set goals that will position me to make a positive difference in the lives of others 2. Establish a financial plan that positions me to avoid unnecessary financial hardships such as bad credit 3. Seek a college that is known for the major for which I plan to pursue. 4. Develop lasting friendships with people whom I can add value to their lives vise versa. 5. Look for ways to serve the community for which I live, play and work. 6. Study hard and focus on making grades that enable me to add to the existing rich body of knowledge. 7. Never look back on the woulda, coulda's and shoulda's of life

If my life was like my favorite movie in which I could just hit the rewind button and go back to my desired scene as a high school senior, there are many things I would tell myself. I would tell myself that some situations are not as difficult to figure out as they may seem, you just got to think out-side the box and sometimes ask for help. Also appreciate the people around you no matter if they may cause a negitive experience because at the end of the day it was a learning experience. In addition I would tell myself to always give a 160{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} because you never want to be just average becasue you were made unique and unique is NEVER average. Lastly to love life, yourself, and others, constantly reminding yourself that you have to be the change you want to see in this world.

I would tell myself to relax and get ready to commute to school twice a week for classes, saving money along the way, and avoid a nerve racking job to multitask with school work. With my parents still supporting me, I can survive just fine for now without a hectic job. The stress from living out on myown and paying bills is something that i view as an equal trade to staying at home and giving up my freedom until I am ready to support myself with a legitamate career. Instead of having loans pay for tuition, I would also advise myself to apply to as many scholarships as I can find and possibly recieve enough money to study abroad.

My advice is to put the most infasis on the best school for your major then wheather or not you fit the personality of the school then the location of the school.

Plan ahead of time when preparing for college both financially and mentally.

Chose a college/university that fits your personality and needs. Somewhere that makes you most comfortable and it will be easy for you to fit in.

I would tell them to pick a school that fits their personality the best. Also choose a school that does very weel academically as well as in sports and other actitivies. enough every aspect of college including atttending activities, functins, speaking engagements, etc.

When looking and reading, find a place where you can look at it/read about it and you smile and say "That's for me."

Chose a college that will fit your personality so that you can express yourself comfortably. Surround yourself with diversity and expand your horizons beyond your everyday norm. Put yourself out there to meet new people becasue you might just meet your next best friend, or a companion for life. Study hard to reach your full potential and goal, and don't be afraid to try a career because you only life once.

Starting college can be an incredibly satisfying experience filled with laughter, the aquisition of knowledge, making lifelong friends, and learning beyond what is taught in the classroom. Searching for the right college, on the other hand, can be time consuming, challenging, and frustrating. Finding the right college is like finding the perfect fit for the glass slipper- it ends with animals dancing about gaily and huge floating "Happily Ever After" signs. For some people, the more intimate experience of a small campus is important. They need small classrooms where they get loads of personal attention from professors as well as a tightly knit student body. For others, they want to get lost in a sea of faces, exploring and absorbing diverse cultures and ways of living, finding exciting new experiences behind every corner, and having the ability to avoid a monontonous routine. For most of us, it's more of a Goldilocks- not too big, not too small- we want it to be just the right size. Essentially, finding the right campus with the right classes and the right people (for the right price!) can be a tough fit, but the end result is a positive, gratifying, life altering decision.
