If I could go back in time and talk to myself as senior, knowing what I know now, I would give myself some tips to make the transition from high school to college easier. Within this essay, I will discuss why. Having the mindset of never stopping until you graduate, being prompt for classes, and maintaining at least a C grade point average (GPA) will be necessary as you transition to college. Firstly, as you transition into college, if you stop college prematurely, it will be harder to regain the mindset to return and fully complete your program. Secondly, being prompt for classes is necessary and an indicator of your commitment and maturity. Thirdly, by maintaining at least a C GPA you will be allowed to continue in school. In conclusion, time and experiences are great teachers. Knowing what I know now, if I could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior, I would afford myself with the following advice: have the mindset of never stopping, be prompt, and maintain at least a C GPA. Do you agree that these tips will help to make the transition from high school to college easier?

If I were to go back and talk to myself as a senior, I would tell myself to "suck it up" because things get better. Attending community college for two years straight out of high school was financially worth it, and will open brighter opportunities to transfer to a 4-year university (LMU!) than if I were to from high school. I would also tell myself that everyone and everything must take a back seat if you want to succeed; friends, boys, work, interests, hobbies. None of those things will help you progress as much as your/my studies. Lastly, appreciate our family, and thank them for their support.

If I could go back in time and talk to my self as a high school senior knowing as much as I know about college I would encourage my teenage self to get a job and put up 40{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}- 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of my pay check in a bank account for college.

I would have told myself to focus more and be prepared to be very indepent while being in college and handling my business on my own. College is very time consuming and it is up to the student to determine if he/she wants to either get a 4.0 or just barely pass every class. Its all about the effort you put into your work and how much your future means to you. These are the different words of advice I would have given to myself, had a known what I do about college now.

I WOULD GIVE MYSELF ADVICE ABOUT GOING TO COLLEGE IS EASY NOR IS IT HARD, IT'S WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT. GO TO SCHOOL TO GET YOUR EDUCATION. IF I DID IT SO CAN YOU!!! I DID IT IN FOUR YEARS BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO CLASS ON TIME, STUDYING, AND WORKING HARD. I PUSHED MYSELF TO WHAT I BELIEVED IN, AND I KNEW I COULD DO IT. NOONNE STOPPED ME, AND IF THEY DID I WAS NOT GOING TO LET THEM. IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO DO THEN GO FOR IT, AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO MOVE ON UP FARTHER.
