Go NOW to college!! Do not wait 20+ years thinking that you have a great job, and will always HAVE that job. There are many things that you need to do in life-and this is one of them!! Some day, you are going to get married, have children, and then realize that your education WAS the most important thing in your life. The great job, the great life-the great home, car, and money all came BECAUSE you went to college.
If you do not choose to go to college now, you will regret this for many years. Then suddenly it will be manditory for you to go because you have no more options. I am there now. The world has changed, and getting by is not going to work anymore. You need a bachelors degree, or else be stuck flipping burgers the rest of your life. Is this what you want?
So, take my advice, and do it NOW. Your future, and myself, (me) are waiting for you!
P.S. Marry the rich girl you meet in college-don't let her go!!!

If I could go back and talk to myself while I was still in high school, I would tell myself to go to college right away. I would also tell myself to study harder and fill out as many scholarship entries as possible because college is expensive. I would also urge myself to participate in as many extra-curricular activities and organizations that interest me. I would also stress the old saying "there's no time like the present". I would let my younger self know that college is not easy but it can be fun as long as you seize all open opportunities. Sometimes along the way you might need to invent opportunities that may not be outwardly apparent. In the end I would just advise me to make the most of that time in my life.

If I could go back, I would let myself know what I would actually decide on as a major, on account that it would save e from taking nonsense classes that do not apply to my anticipated major. I would tell myself to pay very close attention to the framed coursework of the 4-year University, so I could finish all of my prerequisites in time to transfer successfully.

If I could go back and tolk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself to ask myself if I am doing what I really want to do? Am I going to be happy with the choices that I make for my future. I would also tell myself that a little studying goes a long way, and building your study skills during high school will help a lot when transitioning to collage. I would also tell myself that it is also important to have a social life, this provides for some time to destress from the long hours of studying. However, most of all I would tell myself that I must prepare for change in my life and not push away from what I really want in life.

I would tell myself that for an easier transition a community college should be saught. Preparation for the future is key. Identifying what I want and aiming for that goal such as a diploma would inspire me to work hard. Furthermore a happy life is doing what one wants and not what is expected of them.

Take all the college classes you can in high school. It will only help be ready for what college throws at you. It could will also help you to pay for college also.
