You?re almost done with high school and want to go to college, but you?re thinking of maybe waiting twenty years. Let me clue you in on a few things. Sure, you can join the military and get married, but you can also get divorced, remarried, and divorced again and find yourself out of the military, out of a job, and pushing forty. Trust me, I?ve been down that road for you already. So, take my advice; finish your homework and get your head wrapped around going to college. It?s not so bad. At least in college you can focus on learning about the things that you are most passionate about. Then, if you decide you still want to join the Army and get married at least you will have a college degree to fall back on if you find yourself in the same bad relationships.

Doubtlessly, I had (or rather have) the same problem college students everywhere experience: knowing who I am, and finding what I truly want. Back in high school, I heard from countless people to be true to myself, but I had no grasp of what that meant. I ignored those people and insulated myself from their lessons. Like so many teenagers, I thought I already knew enough to get through life. There is little advice for me to give to this conceited teenager. Sound advice requires truth and answers, of which I have little. How could I give my old know-it-all self advice when I understand so little now? And yet, this IS my advice to myself: you must think about how much you really know. Lessons cannot be simply memorized, they must be understood. Don?t merely accept an answer, ask a question! For me, this is the only way to truly learn. Since I?ve been at college, I?ve begun to ask real questions about my life and self, and real answers have started to emerge. I?ve realized that I know far less than I had thought. And I?ve become sincerely happier for it.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would have told myself to focus on school and work on my study habits.

I would say to myself, I know you are spontanuase and like to see were things take you but please go look at the schools before you decide to attened one. The first college you attened you are going to hate you can't take a city girla nd put her in the country. Setting is an important part of a learning community.
