I would tell myself to take more college credit courses instead of goofing off and taking courses that wouldn?t really do anything for my future. I would have told myself to study harder in my math courses instead of blowing them off. I would say that going to community college first was a great idea and ended up saving money on student loans in the future.

Hey Melissa, So you aren't taking your senior year very seriously. Here are some things that you should do better and work towards to get the most out of this year. First of all, work as much as you can. Don't be lazy and choose staying at home or hanging out with friends over making some extra money. I can tell you right now, you'll be wishing you hadn't. Second, do better in your AP statistics class. If you would actually study, then you could make a good mark on your AP exam. Any credits to contribute towards college are very important and will help you out in the long run. Lastly, you need to prepare for college better. Look at your best choices and go with your gut feeling. It'll all work out if you're happy. Don't procrastinate with all the last minute decisions because you'll end up taking a semester off in the summer and it will be a bummer. So best of luck, and I look forward to seeing what happens. Sincerely, Yourself

I would say that taking your time is best. Figure out what canreally work for you before you spend a lot of time and money on it. Education is a great thing and not everyone has the privledge, so, if you do, do it right. Study hard, make the grades.

I would tell myself to make sure I take care of my grades first before having to learn that lesson the hard way. I would also encourage myself to be as involved in campus activities as posible. I would have told myself to work as hard as I can while I was still in highschool and continue that habit throughout college. I would tell myself to go after any opportunity for leadership roles and positions and to join multiple campus organizations. The best advise I would give is to always remain focused and positve nomatter what life throws at you. I would aslo make sure I knew that is crucial to be as prepared for anything as I possibly could so that I dont end up in bad situations.

If I could go back to myself as a senior and give myself advice, I would tell myself not to worry about picking a major. Testing the waters to see what you like and what you're passionate about is more important than being rushed and not picking a major that you might not like. I would also tell myself not to worry about the little things. A bad roomate can be good because it will force you to leave the room and make friends elsewhere. Also, getting involved is one of the most important things and it can help you make friends for life. Also, when joining clubs and organizations, pick more than one, that way, if one doesn't work out or you don't like it, you have a back up plan. But the most important thing, is to be optimistic. Even if something seems bad, everything happens for a reason, you just have to find it.

Take time to think about what you like to do; dream and imagine ideal careers. Explore all your options. Take advantage of all educational opportunities that come your way, such as summer educational opportunities and educational trips abroad. Don't let anyone control your dreams and ambitions. You will be horribly miserable at best if you let a parent or other family member dictate your major or your career. Don't pass-up opportunities to learn and experience new things. High school is a real transition time for teens, as you move into adulthood and the more adult issues of work, careers, and college. It should be a time of growth as well as a time of challenge. Have fun, but get the best education you can so that you are positioned to take advantage of further educational opportunities? and no matter where you go after high school, never stop learning and growing.

Take a note of what you like, dislike, and be active in your search for universities. Sometimes there is such a hype for the bigger schools that many of the disadvantages are covered up by a large sports program or prestige. When going to college, it is true that you should enjoy a balanced lifestyle, but the key thing that you have always been focused on is your career. The best method to follow that plan is to look into schools that excel in career and academic excellence. By visiting and discussing the process of attending a university, you further prepare yourself for one of your greatest times of your life.

If i could go back I would tell myself to make as many friends in the first couple weeks. I would say focus on school and study but also remember to have fun and enjoy the time that is spent here. The years go by very quickly and that I should live them up to the fullest. I would also say keep focused on the career after graduating but don't forget to stop and smell the roses.
