If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior and tell myself about college life and making the transition, what advice would I give? My advice to myself would be simple, do not take your education for granted. When I first went to college I did not transition well from high school to college. I did not have my priorities together. I wanted to have fun first, then study for tests and complete homework. When you go to college you must do the following things in order to succeed: (1) plan your time wisely, (2) be prepared and stay on task, and (3) don't give up so easily when it becomes a bit overwhelming. A mature student stick it out, even when the going gets tough. So if I could go back in time this is the advice I would give myself.

I would tell myself to buckle down and ace every test. I realize that the time I spent idly should have been more focused on learning above and beyond my capabilities. I would tell myself that the more I learned here in high school, the easier it would be for me to adjust to college life. I would tell myself that as long as my goal is that of success, the journey must begin now.

I would tell myself that I should try and study more to get good grades so I would be eligible to recieve more money for college and learn to be more outgoing and independent by going outside of the household to work or a summer program for the summer brfore college to have more experience of living on your own

If i could go back and tak to myself i would tell myself to take school more serious and study as if all the test were finals. I have realized that I actually do need to study in college and I just cannot get by as I did in highschool. I would also tell myself to read books because it will help me expand my vocabulary and also make it easier for me when I read books for assignments. Lastly I would tell myself to follow my passion and never to quit or backdown from a challenge.

Knowing what I know now, if I had the chance to go back in time I would advise myself to upgrade my vocabulary, because if I did, the way I express myself now would have been even better if I would have worked on it around high school or even earlier.

If I could retrace my footsteps as a high school senior, with the knowledge that I have now about college, there are many things that i would tell myself. Although I did maintain a great GPA, I would give myself the advice to not focus on the parties so much, and get actively involved in school activies. Everything one does as a freshmen in college determines and affects the following years that one plans to atten school. If on gets in the habit of being involved with school activities, one will be guaranteed to network with many, accumulate a resume, and experience the postive impact on wanting to achieve great things in school from the support of others. Also staying actively involved in school activities keeps one focused on their education, and helps one to not get into any trouble.
