Going back in time...now there's something everyone thinks about, if we could we would but we cannot, and what's done is done and nothing can change that, except to improve the current situation. There are three things that i would advise my high school senior self to do. One is to save up as much money as possible so that i would be financially stable. Two I would also recommend that i take a few summer community college courses before i start my actual college career, so that i would not have to take a bunch of required general ed classes where i already know the course material; in which brings back to helping me financially. Finally i would tell myself to be more open in learning new things, making new friends, and of course, getting my life together. It took me my first two semesters to see what is expected at this university, academically, and if i could go back in time, i would advise myself to get my life together, and prioritze the important things in my life, which add up to being a high school psychologist.

If i could go back I would tell advise myself to work harder so that my GPA would get me scholarships so I wouldn't have to worry about how I am going to afford school. Loans are not what I want to have to look forward to paying off when I am done with school. I would tell myself to focus harder and not try to just get by. If only I could go back things for me now would be a lot different and I would not be struggling. High school GPA and test scores are everything I wish every student knew that.

Be ready for anything. You never know what life will bring. Be more outgoing, but don't lose yourself.

During the transition into College don?t stress and be overwhelmed. New Mexico State University is a great University and has plenty to offer and great people to meet. The professors are amazing and will do anything in their power to help you accomplish your goals so don?t be worried. Experience dorm life and put yourself out there to meet new people and join plenty of extra curricular activities and donate some time to charities, it will pay off!

fill out as many scholarships and grants as you can and enjoy life.

Develop better study skills and note taking skills. Figure out my priorities and set goals for myself. Always strive for the best and push myself 110{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to work much harder on financial aid applications. I had a good GPA in high school and a good variety of extracirricular activities, which helped me to get into an elite college. I was able to attend that college for a year before tuition became too expensive for my family. If I had worked harder on the financial aid application for that school, I might have had more funding and still attended my first-choice school instead of transferring to NMSU. Even now, I still tell myself to work harder on financial aid applications because while my undergraduate degree at NMSU is paid for by a full-ride scholarship, my dream of becoming a lawyer is stilll unfunded. I do not know how I will pay for law school, and the wisdom that I would pass on to myself as a high school senior still applies as a college sophmore.

Knowing what I know now, I would go back to my senior year and take school more seriously. School is the future and with out it, people could not obtain prospective jobs and be truly satisfied in their career. Knowing how important it is to get a proper education now, I would have not slacked so much in high school. In fact, I would have taken all my classes much more seriously and would have done more research on future career choices. It is very important to be sure what you want to do before you go to college, however; it truly is the experiences that each individual has in college that molds that particular student into who they are today. This is extremely important and vital for the success of a student in college life. Though, if I were given the chance to go back, I probably would not take it because the journey that I have had so far has been far more worth it not knowing what is to come but learning what will be!

I would tell myself to keep working hard. That even though there are several trials and tribulations ahead of me, if I keep doing what I am doing since now, over coming them wont be hard. Also that its okay to be frustrated, to cry, to be happy and generally show emotion. Growing up is hard and no matter what happens I have an amazing support system of family, and friends to help me when I need it. The last thing I would tell myself, is that its okay to ask for help, when I need it.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior the advice that I would give to young Angel would be to not be afraid of having to work and go to school at the same time because one day you will eventually graduate and the whole agony that you will have to go through will later be one of the best times in life.

Do not take college lightly.

I would tell myself to take more AP classes so that I could be at a better pace than I am now, and to apply for more scholarships to help pay for books and tutution.

To study harder and longer, not stay out so late on nights before a test, save more money!! Focus and school and everything else will fall into place. Don't worry about laundry when you have a 7 page paper due the next day.

Well I haven't decided quite yet if it is better to pursue the dream school of keep the loans at a minimum. My majors are both Kinesiology and Journalism, so NMSU works because it's an accredited Journalsim school and also one of the few with a Kinesiology program. I would probably tell myself to just go to NMSU, I've met great friends and people and have excellent opportunities. I wish I could have afforded out of state tuition of course, however I remind myself that cutting costs now helps my dream to study abroad in Austria next year. Plus, college is college there are great people and opportunities wherever you go.

Be smart with your money. Jobs are hard to come by and you're going to need to pay for important things later. Don't be afraid to speak up, speak out, or otherwise make yourself heard. There are people out there who are just as interested in the same things as you are, and they love to hear from you. Grow and blossom.

I would tell my past self to get more involved in campus activities and socialize more. Also, to work harder in my classes to get the grade I know I could have gotten if I had just tried harder. I would also tell my senior self to get a job and save up money for college.

I would tell myself to not worry. You don't have to have your life mapped out before you even choose your college. College is the time for you to explore your options, find out what you want from life and work towards that goal. Live your life with happiness.

I would have to say to myself, " Really think about what is important in life, what are your priorities. A higher ACT score and a better grade in English could have saved you a lot of money. Sure, you were homecoming queen, part of major food fights and had a huge group of friends, but i think some of that time could have been sacrificed. As boring as school is and as much as you hate it now, you're going to regret being so lazy."

I would tell myself to study more and focus, save more money and to really listen to the teaches because they are really trying to get you ready for college and not just trying to scare me because college is real and its hard to dont mess up now because you don't want to mess up your future because your future starts now.
