Nicholas

I would tell myseld to adopt a healthier lifestyle early on in life, which entails multiple things, including good, nutritious food, drinking plenty of water, getting adequate amount of sleep, and being organized about my living space, actions, and thoughts, to name just a few. In the last year or so, I had an opportunity to experience this for myself. I am in my last year of college and am the healthiest and happiest I've ever been. The amount of things I accomplish during the day now is more than I used to do in a month during my early college years. As I look back now, I feel a bit sad about how much time I've lost mindlessly walking the streets, playing useless video games, and simply being lazy. I have many talents and natural abilities and it breaks my heart that I haven't developed them earlier. I won't say that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is easy, but it can truly become a life changing experience. So if I had one advice for others, including myself, it would be this: learn about healthy lifestyle and make it an integral part of your life.

If I could go back in time to when I was a high school senior I would have told myself that everything is worth it. School is worth it. Studying gets you farther than you can imagine. Finding the right college is important and you need to start applying for colleges in the beginning of your senior year. I would have also told myself that getting involved on campus as a senior will ensure that you will walk away with a great senior experience. I would have told my senior self that the ending of high school is really not the end, it is the start of the real future. I would have told my senior self to make every last secound count because once senior year is over there is no going back. Senior year is supposed to be one of the best years of your life in high school. I would tell myself to not be afraid of the future. Never take a single thing for granted and it is okay to meet new people. I would tell myself that I am a strong independent woman and I will be great someday. College is the new beginning.

Apply for a college where you know for sure, is the best fit for you and know for sure what career you want to pursue. Also if you get a chance to participate in any college sport give it 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} and give it your all. Work hard and put god first

If I were to go back and have a talk with myself when I was a high school senior, I would tell myself to play hard, but work harder. School is te number one priority, and although it is important to make friends and establish a social life, school is most important. I would tell myself, that ONLY weekends are for going out, and ONLY go out if all school work is complete. I would tell myself to take all kinds of classes my freshman year, and not focus on a major. I would tell myself to not abuse the freedom that college gives you. When it comes time to picking a major, I would tell myself to make sure that I picked something that I enjoy. I would suggest to myself, if not ready for a four-year school, try community college for a semester or a year. I would say to leave highschool behind and to focus on a new chapter in life. Most importantly, I would say enjoy college years, make wise decision, and remember that school ALWAYS should be top priority.

The very first thing that I would tell myself would be to look for all the availble scholarships so that I could get all the funds I needed to get into any school that I wanted to. I would also tell myself to not depened on my academic advisor to schedule my classes for me because sometimes they mess up and then that leads to a different issue that needs to be fixed. Look into more dance colleges so that I would be better informed as to what the college offers and that best fits my description of what I'm looking for before I apply there. I would need to understand that in order to get things done the way that I want them to be done, I will have to do them myself. Once you have an assingment to do, do it! DONT PROCRASTINATE, STAY FOCUSED, AND PRAY MORE OFTEN!!

When it comes to choosing a college, be sure to examine everything about it. From, size, costs, enviorment, programs, mission statement, how much is avaabe to your needs. The school has to promote your happiness and aware that it was done by you and for you and no one else. Even if you don't have any main direction in your life, you want to develop a foundation to get started. I agree that college isnt for everyone, there is no harm in trying and change is constant. I do wish I had been more prepared but I was forcing myself to try and reach others expectations instead of reay setting and achieving my own.

Ramona

Ramona, take high school seriously and give yourself time to study. Ramona please don't drink that beer and for the blessings of your God given talent don't smoke that joint , because you only think it makes you more artsy and deep. Ramona please remain abstinate, you of all people are not ready to have children, wait for marriage and the right man. Ramona listen to your parents for they have been where you are going they are not stupid, you can't hide the smell of beer or marijuana with cheap perfume. Ramona just stop and think through the consequences of your actions.

Amanda

My biggest advice I would give myself as a high school senior would be enjoy being a kid while you can. I have been working since the age of 16 because I live in a single parent family. If I knew what I do now, I would have taken more time to have fun and do school related activities while I could. Now I attend college full time and have two jobs. I would tell my past self to pace yourself and focus on your own needs, rather than taking care of everyone else. Don't dwell on the minor high school drama, enjoy yourself!

Talk to people that attended the college in which you are interested in, don't let money alter your decisions, because theres always a way to find the money needed for tuition. Make sure that the campus has a lot of activities, otherwise you will get REALLY BORED!

Find the roght college is hard, i know, and some times you are sitting there lookin gat the brochure say is this school really for me? well i can say that all you have to do is trust you decition and have fun and get alot out of your experence at the school because the time will fly and after it is all over you will be saying "i should have done that" or "man what didn't i do more for my major" because the things you do in school are what counts for your furture outside of it.
