I would of tried harder to succeed my senior year. Knowing that year could have made a difference in my future would have been really big. The friends, fun, and random things weren't going to be in my future. So i should have cared more about school then what was happening at the moment.

Dear 2004 Aria, It?s not as hard as you?re making it out to be. It?s difficult, sure - it?s meant to be! - but it is not the unassailable fortress that you?ve built it up to be in your mind. None of this is happening solely to you! Everyone has these exact same problems when they start out. You?re all new to this. It?s big and scary and frustrating, but not impossible. While one or two of them are going to be unreasonable, the vast majority of the university staff are ready and willing to lend a hand. Just remember that the only stupid question is the one left unasked and you?ll be golden! Make an effort to make friends, too. If they aren?t sources of wisdom, at least they?re sources of compassion. Sometimes a friendly face and an understanding grin-and-bear-it shrug when you air your grievances is better than any amount of advice. Oh, and remember: study, study, study!Your Problems of Philosophy final is going to be a real doozy. Good Luck, 2009 Aria

I would tell my self to start changing my habbits now even take things way more serious, because high school life is so easy to do especially the homework. And now that I can look back I know what I am doing now I could have been a straight A student in all four years of high school, but we all have to learn from our mistakes and make better ones in the future.

i would tell my self to dedicate my life to school, you can never stop learning. I would also say that the experience would be much greater if you went out of town to go to school, you will get the chance to meat many different kind of people.

There are many things I would tell myself, having the knowledge I have now, as a high school senior. First of all, i would encourge myself to develope good study habits, prior to entering college, I think this is a very essential trait need to succeed in college and beyond. I would also mention to find motivation to stay interested in school. This is a very important , beacuse without it there is no point in showing interest if there will be no "follow through". Finially, just to enjoy and take in the whole "college experience", to do as much as I can without over-working myself. College prepares us for our careers and our lives, it doesn't have to be a dreadful experience, it can be a fun and very interesting time in someone's life.

I went through a very rough time in high school. I gput myslef into a large amount of troublesome issues. If I could go back in time, I would tell myself that no matter how hard life if, it is worth the struggle. I have not only learned alot through the rough times, but I have grown to know who I am. I would tell myself to NEVER give up and to take everything with a grain of salt.

The advice I would give myself is to never underestimate yourself because you can do anything if you put your mind to it. In high school i tended to let myself esteem go down when i faced the harder tasks, but now i know that i can do anything if i set my mind to perform at the highest level i can achieve, because for me, life is like a mountain. With each step you take you are climbing higher and higher until you reach the top. As we all know there will always be obsticles in life, rocks in your way, but once you set your mind right and overcome those obstacles you will climb higher in life higher (in the mountain) until you reach the top and accomplish your goals. The best advice i would give myself is to focus on my goals, set my mind straight, and climb up that mountain that will lead me into a better future when i overcome all the obstacles on my way and reach the top.

If I was to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself, to keep up my grades. And not to miss as much school. And I would also tell myself to fill out scholarships, so that may parents wouldn't stress.
