Brandon, I know you have heard this about 1.2 million times, but I am telling you as a personal furtune. DO NOT MESS THIS UP. Take your time. never, ever procrastinate. Right now, your 17, but when your 30 and your wife is yelling about bills and the kids just blew up your neighbors shed, your gonna wish you had done everything the right way and to the absolute best of your abilities. Because right now it may seem like a joke to you. But life is serious. "Life is a Joke, Take it serious"

Take time to get your courses finished it is a lead up in the Job search that is coming ahead. Take as many lessons and get them completed. It will start your career in the way you wish to go.

Work hard now; don't slack off. God really does care about your work ethic. Get more involved in the church and don't be afraid if you feel inadequate. Develop a consistent prayer life. Seek more and more to glorify God in all you do!

Three simple words make up the advice I would give myself: Don't be afraid! First, don't be afraid to be yourself. When you just be who you are (with roommates, classmates, and teachers), people feel more comfortable around you and are more likely to build a friendship with you. Next, don't be afraid of other people! Sometimes the easiest way to fail in college, both socially and academically, is to be afraid to speak up, talk to people, ask and answer questions in class, or communicate with professors. But don't be afraid! You will learn and make strong connections with others faster if you just speak freely and be open and honest with those around you. Lastly, don't be afraid to learn and grow! College is all about learning, growing, and maturing, so don't be afraid to hit the ground running; study hard, interact in class, and do it from day one. But above all, don't be afraid! Face your fears and risk success! It's worth it!

I would tell myself to do the exact same thing I chose the first time and I would not regret it one bit. I love the college and although there are things that I would change about the campus I know there is no where else I would belong. I have visited alot of other colleges to see friends throughout this semester and although I love going to the bigger colleges and having a good time there is no way I would like to be a student there. There are always people there to help or just hang out at north greenville and I would tell myself of the way the campus and faculty makes me feel more at home when I am there than I could ever imagine.

Develop your talents while in highschool, so that you have a better idea of what you want to do in college.

If I could go back in time and become a high school senior again, I would give myself a lot of advice. First, I would change my study habbits. In high school studying was not at the top of my list. i was more concerned with sports and friends. I would tell myself that without studying college is pointless and a waste of time and money. I have learned the hard way during my first semester as a college student.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior in high school, I would tell myself to strive to be the best. After my first semester of college I learned that college takes a lot more studying and reading than high school ever did. I would also warn myself of all of the temptations that come along with college. Overall, I would tell myself not to head to college big-headed thinking you know everything because things are a lot different and we all have room to learn.

I will tell myself that you are makeing the right choice in going to North Greenville and your life will be completly changed when you do. though I will not tell myself to change majors because of all the friends that I made when I did change, but I would give a hint to study a lot more than I planning to. I honeslty am on pins and needles to keep a couple of my scholarships and I need at least a .1 point to keep them. But non the less I would not tell myself much.

I would tell myself to choose college wisely. It is expensive and you want to get as much out of it as possible. Research your possibilities and find the best match for your personality, budget and learning style. Save as much money as possible because tuition is not the only cost to college. There are lots of "hidden" costs such as fees, travel expenses, day-to-day expenses, books...
