You must make time in your schedulce for studying. Put it on your calendar--build it into your day. Successfull people are on a schedule, and follow it. Make good decisions--especially when it comes to friends. I say, always go with your gut. It's usually right! Friends can sometimes make or break you, so choose them wisely. Most of all just be yourself and try your best. Nothing beats a failure but a try, as my grandpa would say. Give it your all, dig down deep, study hard, play hard, and pray hard!

The advice that I would give myself is to follow up on scholarships and to really do some hardcore research on the different careers that one college has to offer. I would have filled out more scholarship applications instead of taking out loans that could put me in debt being that I am in financial need and lacking a job. Also, I would have saved up money for books or would have been employed because I was the type of student that was always involved in my school work and I was always on the A and B honor roll.

The first day you go to class personally introduce yourself to your instructor and become very aquinted with him/her. Be positive and remember what you are there for, to recieve and education and to become successful. Create a social life and attend events around campus that can help you in the future.

Also try not to get below a 3.5 gpa because you would want to graduate with a 3.5 or higher. If you recieve a 2. 0 or 2.5 it's hard to pull your gpa back up to 3.5. Make the best and strive for excellence!

The advice that I would give myself if I was a high school senior would be to always do the best you can. Always make time to study for my classes. I would want to join a social organization so that I get involved in something. I would try to get along with anybody and everybody so I would not get into any trouble. Always get things done and not wait until the last minute to do things. And most of all please be myself and don't be a follower or don't let no one peer pressure me to do anything that I dont want to do.

Knowing what I know now about college life and making the transition, the advice I would give myself as a high school senior wouldn?t be too much, because if I was to take back most things, I probably wouldn?t be where I?m at now. But some advice would be, surround myself with friends who are productive. Knowing who are my friends and mostly, wants my motivation for school. These would be the three advices I would offer myself. The friends I surrounded myself around were dropping out and failing out of school. They was giving up and slowly decreasing. I had great friends but some friends were using me for my knowledge instead of friendship. Only approaching and greeting me just for class work and homework wasn?t want I was looking for. Lastly my motivation for school, if I had the inspiration I have now, college acceptance would have been better. And scholarships wouldn?t be hard to find. These are my three reasons I would advised myself if I was a high school senior.
