I would tell myself to be quicker to make a decision on what I want to major in and also choose my classes better. I would also make sure that to push myself more and procrastinate less.

I would tell myself to focus more on the classes that i didnt enjoy that much. Becuase you have to take a lot of those in college, and the ones you didnt do so well in during high school really effect how well you do in college with those type of classes. If you come to college with the mindset that you are here to learn and not that "the teachers are here to make you do stuff" then you will do a lot better.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior I would tell myself to explore more options by gaining more infomation about different colleges and universies, going on college vists and appyling for pre-college programs which would better prepare me for college. I would tell myself to talk to my high school conselor about colleges and the do's and don'ts aout choosing a college. I would advise myself to look at more options for financial aid.

I would also tell myself that i should not focus to hard on anthropology, but animation and graphic design because they would work out better for me in the end.

Make sure to look at the possibilities schools have to offer. There are so many different schools with different things to offer and you need to make sure to pick the school you want to go to. College is another chapter of your life and it is important that you will be happy with you choice of school. College is a fun and exciting expereince and you need to be the one that embraces that and makes the choice of the college you will be attending. Although college is different than highschool and you will have a feeling of freedom, college is important and a training for your future. So, college needs to be taken seriously and also be choosen with your future in mind.

If I could go back in time and talk to my high school self about college, there are a few things I'd want to mention. First, I'm something of a shy person and I'd encourage myself to become more involved on campus. I'd also say that even though I was a very good high school student, college is different. At college, good behavior and a minimal amount of work won't get someone an A- like it did in high school. My first year of college work suffered because I didn't know that.

Looking back at a younger and definitely na?ve version of myself, I realize that there are a few things I wish that I would have known or understood before entering college. For me the transition from high school to college was not a difficult one. I took many college prep courses and was prepared for the workload. After attending college for a few years, I now understand the importance of looking beyond the facts of studying to see how the information I am learning relates to myself. . In one of my favorite novels, Les Mis?rables, Victor Hugo writes, ?public education, when it is good, can always bring out the latent usefulness of a soul, no matter what it is like to start with.? I know that by focusing on the outcomes of my studies and by persevering through the trials of being a working student, I am able to find my usefulness as a student and as a productive member of this society in which we all belong. My education is not something that I take lightly. I understand the importance of knowledge not just for furthering my career but also for furthering myself as a person.

I often find myself thinking what I would do if I could go back in time to my high school senior year with the knowledge that I have now as a college junior. I think the best advice I could give my high school self would be to keep working hard and not let anything detour me from making the grade I want to make. Because boyfriends, friends, special activities and events all come and go but there is nothing I can do to change those grades I made from my past and they do have an effect of my future grades. I'm not saying that it is the end of the world but I do wish I gave my full potential back then.

I would advise myself that the most important thing to remember is that time passes by quickly. I would tell myself to take in all I could, soak up any and all information I can to educate myself. Also, education is important...but it's not always a number priority. Friendship is something to be valued, especially once everyone begins to go their separate ways. Remember that you are never alone, no matter how often you may feel like it. Being away from friends and others close to you is always difficult, and even though you things are hard- there are always tougher things. Last, but not least, embrance any all differences there are. College is difficult, but it will open up many doors for you. I think if I had spent less time worrying about my own future in college, I would've had a better ending to my senior year. Nothing can truly prepare you for the unknown, but that doesn't mean it'll be that tough. That's what I wish I would've known my senior year.

I would have to say pay more attention to the core classes. Take as much English, Math, and Science as you can. Ive seen more than one student fail because they didnt understand the basics. To read more and not just things for fun, but to have a good general knowledge of whats going on in the world, its different when you get to college, the focus isnt on individuals but on the world in general so knowing about it will help to fit in. Have a mind open to learning unless you can dedicate your self to learning not only things you want to learn but things you have to learn its going to be hard. Oh and stay away from Heidi shes bad news, and keep the Impala youll regret selling it.

One piece of advice I would tell myself is : Try your hardest and your best your first year and college especially because you want to start off with a high GPA. I think it is wise to bring it hard especially on the first year because you don't know what kind of challenging classes you may have to take later on that you may or may not do very well in. Another adviced thing would be to talk to the career counselors and your major advisors if you have one about the different opportunities available to you to get ahead in your major or choice of career. You would be surprised to know what things are out that that may help you get ahead.

I would not change a thing about my high school experiences. Everything that I have gone through in my past has made me who I am today and I'm content where I'm at in my life. Even though I have learned a lot along the way I have no regrets about college life so far and the transition.

I believe that finding the right college and making the most of a college experience is mostly what you make of your school. The more involved you are in activities and your own education, the more appealing the campus will be to you. Also, the size of the campus can also make the experience better. Going to a larger school can be intimidating and become overwhelming to a student and their education.

I would start off by telling parents and students that it is always best to go to quite a few different schools to look at which one each has to offer. Even go to some schools that you might not think would be good matches. I always was told to join as many clubs and activities as possible and I think this is a very good thing to do, it helps you make friends, make your college life as a whole better, and helps you accademically. The last advice I would have is to try new things, this is a great time in your life to do things you might have never thought about doing before.

Make sure that they are close enough to home to be able to take advantage of going home on the weekends, etc. Student activities and resources are a must as well as availabilty of on campus housing and food.

VISIT VIST VISIT the college and spend the weekend. Get to know the area and the people.

check out several school before you choose

Find a college whose class sizes you feel the most comfortable in. If you prefer to live at home or be near your family find one that is in the city you live in or in a surrounding city. Make sure you can feel safe while on campus. I would also advise you to speak with an academic advisor to make sure they can be helpful to you. And also, check out any extra services the school provides including tutoring, scheduling advice, career resources, internship opprotunities and accomdations if you have a disability.

Plan ahead and start looking into schools and scholarships as soon as possible. Students should really pay attention in high school and decide what classes they like the best or do the best in; this may help lead them down a potential career path to follow in the future. Parents should be supportive of their teen student's decision and not attempt to push them too far in one direction or the other, although parental guidance from the sidelines is always a good thing. The ultimate decision is for the student to make since it is their college experience that they will go through. If they're not happy, they will not enjoy their time at college. No matter how much fun campus life and meeting new friends may be, if you don't enjoy what you are studying, you will strongly dislike going to college. I found that out the hard way.
