As I am retuning to school 20 years after high school I would tell myself to take it seriously, but enjoy the experience. The friends are important, but the education is essential.

If I could go back in time and give myself advice about the future I would first tell myself to, "Put my education first." When I think back to 2002 I was enrolled at Lawrence Tech. University as a full-time student. I had no idea what I doing with my life. The only thing I knew was that I wanted to obtain a degree. At the end of the first semester I was defeated in the mind because I had no clue how I was going to pay for the next semester. Well, my father bailed me out that time. Though, I had someone to help me that time something in me changed. I changed my focus and the light of my determination went dim. Now I am a mother and I have even more hardship trying to pay for an education. But something has changed in me. I am DETERMINED to succeed. I am going to finish school and earn a degree. I am going to have a career and be somebody. I am going to help somebody just like I had people help me. And most importantly I am gonna find a way to pay for school.

I would tell myself to try harder in highschool classes because most of the classes is college are review of what you should have learned before and it's much easier to pick up in a class of 10 who are just learning it rather than a class of 10 who consider it too easy. I would tell myself to look for scholarships and grant money sooner so I would'nt have over 10,000 dollars to pay back now. I would tell myself that no matter what people say college is not for partying and slacking off, it's ok to have fun and kick back but to finish your studies first and enjoy the freedom later. That way your not a 21 year old college sophmore. I'd also would say to myself , follow your own heart and not your friends, chances are you won't even speak in a year. Most importantly I'd say enjoy it, it goes by fast and then it's off to the real world.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would first give myself the advice of doing post secondary. It would have been helpful by taking some college courses while still in high school to make that transition to a full time college student. It also would have gave me college credit, but did not cost you anything while in high school, it was all paid for if you were a high school student. I also would have given myself the advice of applying for several more scholarships. With the cost of tuition and board, food, books, and etc. being so high it all adds up and is very costly. As a full time college student and having very little money I would give myself advice about saving and setting up financing and doing everything I could to help with the financial aspects of going to college. Getting an high education is not cheap.

As a college student I realized that college is not all the fun and games it is made out to be. There is massive amount of time and dedication required to keep the g.p.a that I had in high school. To be successful in college you need to have an inner drive to want to work for eveything that you want in life. The success that you achieve will reflect the amount of work that you have put into yourself.

Going back, i would have liked to advise myself about time management. One of the most important things in the college life is to be able to use your time wisely and make the most of the time being used. Often times, we like to just procrastinate to the last minute, which doesn't always result in the best outcome. For example, i had a five-page report that i was given plenty of days in advance to complete, but instead tried to finish it in the last few days prior to it being due. This resulted in a poor outcome. If i would have used my time more wisely by working on the report a little bit each week, this paper could have been much more successful. Time management is one of, if not, the most important thing ive learned in the college life. Even though it didn't cross my mind as a senior in high school, time management will definitely be something I try to use in the best way possible, not only as a college student, but also in my future endeavors.

I would tell myself not to stress out about college coursework. That it is harder, but you can do it! I would also tell myself to be more confident in myself, and not to worry because you will grow as a person so much your freshman year of college. Also, be open to new things and not to be so uptight! Have fun when you go to college, be yourself, study hard, and find out who you are. You're beautiful and no one can tell you otherwise. Soccer will be fun and all the girls on the team are really nice! Those are the things I would tell myself if I could talk to myself as a high school senior. Although, would i really want to do that? Would I learn, and know what i know now?

Seniors are told that upon graduation they are responsible for thier futures. That is good lesson, but it instills fear. I attended a Theater Conservatory and despite talent scholorships I needed to take out a number of loans. Fearful of a future full of dept ; I quit. Life Expreinces and work are not regrets for me, I learned a lot. The world is my classroom. However, I should not have quit because of money issues. I felt guilty using so much money for an education I was unsure if I would use. Instead I jumped and faced resposiblitity sooner, and now I know I am a strong independent woman. Since I know Film Production is not just a passing interest ,I am ready to be a student again. If I could go back in time , my advice would be to do the same thing but not out of fear. College is a walk in the park compared to real life. My advice is to face the unknown bravely, and use past lessons as tools to face tomorrow. We all make our own paths in life. We all have to take resposibility for futures; we can do that without fear.

I would tell myself that you need to help get yourself prepare more, don't depend on others to do all the work for you. Once you get to campus get involved don't wait for someone to approach you. Other that not much changed for me.

Knowing what I know now, I would tell myself as a high school senior that most of the relationships I formed do not matter and were not worth worrying so much about. In high school, I experienced a lot of drama because of who my boyfriend was and looking back I realize that dealing with that drama was not worth our relationship. Now, I also know that the friends I had in high school were not my true friends and within a year after graduation, I probably only talked to five if them. People always talk about how great their high school experience was, but to me nothing gets better than college. I wish I would have known how much fun college would bring and would have not worried about what people thought of me in high school.

I would tell myself to stay in school and get a college degree. You don't want to have to do it later in life when you should be concentrating on family and working. Love being alone. A man does not define you. You are the only one you can truely depend on and trust. Raise your child to be the best that he /she can be, that is all that you can ask for. Nobody is perfect.

Be open to people with different ideas and different upbringings, even if you strongly disagree with the other person or party. Plan to be active in the campus and surrounding community, ask questions and challenge professors, to a reasonable point. Living with other people is difficult, again, be open and considerate. Have fun and try new things, you never know what could surprise you and take your fancy.

Really work on your study habits. Get into the habit of not missing class, and taking detailed notes. Time management is the key to success in college. Learn early where the library is, and where and when peer tutoring is available. Never be ashamed to ask questions, because in the end you are only hurting yourself by not doing so.

The advice I would give myself is to visit and apply to many more colleges than I actually did. Visiting college campuses is free doesn't cost anything, you need to look at several options before making such an important decision. I would also tell myself to have done post secondary in high school through one of the local colleges that provides that opportunity to high school students. It would have been a great opportunity to get the college experience while still in high school but would have received credit for both college and high school. It also would have jumpstarted me on being able to graduate college possibly sooner and was at no cost to me as a high school student. It would help with The financial aspect of college and not having to pay for it when I was high school, so my debt would be smaller when I graduate college.

When I graduated high school I was only 18 years old. I did not want to go far from home where I would not know anyone. Looking back, I wish I would not have been so scared because now that I am about to graduate college, I realize that I will most likely have to move for my career as a television reporter. If I would have made a big move at a younger age, it might not be as hard for me to do it now. I do not want to be stuck in one town for the rest of my life and I think it happens to a lot of people. I am happy with the college that I chose but I feel like I could have learned a lot more about myself if I would have moved further away from home.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself 18-year-old self, I would definitely have some words of wisdom to share. When I was 18, college really wasn't that big of a priority. The most important things to me back then was partying and having fun, not necessarily getting an education. I would have to sit my young self down, and explain to him how the world is. I would explain to him that there is much, much more to this life and a college education is extremely important. At 25 years of age, I've spent most of my life trying different professions based on what would make myself happy. Recently I've learned that life is not about me. The world is not centered around me. As I embark on a journey to dedicate myself to God's service, I'll end this essay with a quoted that sums up my life to this point. "Only one life will soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last. And when I'm dying how happy I'll be, if the lamp of my life is burned out for Thee."

The next chapter...college! You have been waiting for the past four year to finally end, and as you look back they have sadly flown by in a blink of an eye. As you turn the page to the next chapter in your life, be prepared to meet new people(who will become your bestfriends!), experience new things(that you will never forget) but most of all work as hard as you possibly can. This is your chance to get ahead and do well, after all it is your future that you are holding in your hand. Make sure to always try your hardest, and know that anything is possible, you might even end up on a billboard! I know the transition will be quite easy for you but make sure you stay your true self. You will make many new and amazing friends but keep your old friends colse and your family closer. Be prepared to work hard but still have the time of your life, good luck and remember you can do anything you put your mind to.

College is a tremedous investment in your future. Not only do you learn to work in your chosen field, but you get the opportunity to live and grow as an individual. If I could go back in time and tell myself what I know now, I'd tell myself to get involved. It is important to live every moment and learn as much as you can. My advice would be to get involved and make a difference. I would impress upon myself how important it is to make my voice heard.

If i could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior i would try to prepare myself for the changes that occur once you enter college. I would try to convince myself to pick a major as soon as possible, that way i could start working on that right away to choose the correct classes to take. I would tell myself that once I get into college i need to learn how to better use my time so that i can get my assignments done well with the time i have. When i was in high school, i did not spend a lot of time outside of school working on homework because i got most of it done quickly and i also rarely read the text books provided in the class. i would tell myself to start getting in the habit of reading and understanding what the text book says. Most of all i would tell myself to do as well as i can and to try not to stress when i have many things to do in a small amount of time.
