I have gotten a great deal out of my college experience. I have learned how to be responsible, prioritize, take care of myself, defend myself, and be proud of who I am. Before college I was insecure, and afraid to take a stand even when I really believed in something. Now I know that I can pursue my dreams and goal, and that if I put in the hard work, I can reap the benefits of the reward, whether it be a high gpa, a good eployment opportunity, or simply being more about the world around me.

The first thing I would do is give my past self a great big bear hug and tell her that everything is going to work out just fine, college isn't something to be scared of. At first things will feel quite lonely because the transition you're making affects your whole lifestyle. The faces around you belong to strangers, your family is suddenly not around 24/7, late night meals tempt you everywhere, your sleeping hours suddenly dwindle, and your classes seem to be in buildings you just can't find on the campus map. It's like the universe is making every little thing work against your favor and you can't seem to regain control. But alas, be comforted because there's this little magic thing called time that will heal all your wounds. Those strangers will soon become some of your closest friends, your eating and sleeping habits will find balance once you get used to your schedule, you'll be reunite with your family once your first break comes around, and those buildings will suddenly appear on your map. So don't worry your head off because college is great, for now just breathe easy.

"Get a job, you bum!" Upon traveling back in time to senior year I would tell myself to stepup and get a job. During senior year of high school, pressured by my mom, I searched for a job, but with little effort I was never employed. I applied at several places, never called or checked the status of my application, but prefered to hang with my friends. I should have spent the time to find a job, which would have helped relieve the burden of college tuition off my parents shoulders. With two younger sisters and separated parents money was tight when paying for first semester of college. We came very close to being unable to pay for the second semester. If I could go back in time to give myself advice then the pressure of paying tution might have been lifted off my parents shoulders.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, the first thing I would emphasize is to go visit a lot more colleges. I feel like I did not see all of the colleges I would have like to. In addition, I would have talked to myself about my selfishnish in choosing this school. Although I love it, my family's financial situation is very bad because of Hofstra's expenses. I would go back and tell myself to work harder to get more scholarships. In addition, I would tell myself to look at a lot of other schools of less expense. Therefore, I would have maybe picked a different school, keeping my family's needs in mind. Also, I would have looked more deeply into what types of majors I would have wanted to do. I wold have told myself to take a deeper look into possible majors and what I would have wanted to do with my future. By discussing all of these things with myself back then, I would be more stable in college today.

I would tell myself to apply for more scholarships. I will also tell myself to apply to and visit more schools.

I would have myself apply for five scholarships a day so that I would not be struggling to pay for school the way I am now. I would have to remind myself that I am on my own out here and there will no one to do it for you, you have to do this all on your own without giving up.

I am honestly a person who feels like you can only learn and grow from your mistakes. However, if I had to give myself advice about college life and making the transition to college, I would tell myself that it is not as scary or as hard as everyone makes it seem. Before moving into my dorm I remember being a totally mess. I was scared that I was not prepared enough to live on my own and that I lack both self-control and self-discipline to succeed in school. With one semester already under my belt I have proven myself wrong. I enjoy making my own rules, and granted that sometimes means having to suffer my own consequences, I know that I have grown as a person these last few months. So I would definitely reassure myself that college is not as scary as everyone makes it out to be.

Hey you! This is your last year of high school and you own the school. Have fun with it. Don't worry about grades as much as getting everything you can from your last year of a free education. Try your hardest to get things changed in the high school that you think need to be fixed. Get involved with the community. Having a drive to interact with locals around school will follow you to college where you can volunteer and make a difference in more people's lives. Do homework at home. Don't wait until the class period beforehand. It's a bad pattern because college homework means more and should be given the proper thought and time to complete. Do as many scholarship applications as you can. The smallest amount helps in the long run. And have fun! Learning is fun and although so many people do not want to be in high school senior year, you do, so don't let them bring you down. Try your hardest at everything and think about college as a place where everyone cares as much as you do about knowledge. From, College Me

Having experienced college I certainly learned some things I wish I had known previously. The biggest advice I would give my younger self would be take time off and not rush through the college life. The time could be anywhere from a semester to a year. The draw of this would be to experience the real world and gain an outward view college life. I have done a lot of review and that's one thing I felt I lacked as a student. I lacked the foresight of what it all really meant. An advisor said it best, ?when you?re here, you're thinking I need to do this to get out quick.? It wasn't so much about taking in the environment and building a life. It seemed more about doing the daily class routine which I was accustom to for how many years of my life. The only adage was college parties. In effect that is what my advice would be to myself. Get out of the bubble and contemplate on what the true objective is in having a college life and attaining a degree.
