I would advise my high school self as a senior to take college very seriously the first year, and after. Even if a course is not related to one's future career, it must be taken with the utmost care and treated dilligently. One's GPA must be maintained at high levels, especially when it is a major factor in one's finacial aid which is determining whether or not the future contains more college, or a drive-thru window. It is never prudent to risk the entirety of one's education and future over one or two courses. I would also advise myself to avoid distractions. It is a terrible idea to allow little personal distractions of the present to distract from the importance of other present challenges that may have a great impact on the future. Having a social life is one thing, but education is more important. This advice is difficult to follow, especially for somebody who had no social life to speak of in prior years and is only just entering into the wider world, but it is of exceeding import.

We all have had the thought of going back in time to give ourselves advice from years before where we had made either good or bad decisions that have shaped our life. I usually have this same thought all the time now because I believe my life would have been different if I had made other choices when I was a senior in high school. There are three things that I would advise myself to do. The most important advice would be to look for any available tennis scholarships and pursue them. This is one of the things that I wish I would have done when I was a senior in high school because it has always been my dream to become a professional tennis player. Besides that I would also tell myself to choose the right university to attend and to make sure I check everything I need to know in order to graduate as soon as I can. I didn't do this when I attended my first university and it is a problem to this date. The final reason is to be prepared for what the future might hold for me. It is not an easy road!

The advice I would give myself is buy a stappler before you get to school. That is the one thing I forgot to buy and sure enough the first week of school I needed one. I would also tell myself don't sign up for 8 am classes. Yes you have high school early in the morning but remember that you aren't living with another person and you might want to stay up late and hang out with your friends, so getting up at 7:30 isn't as easy as when it was in high school. I would also tell myself that the first year of college flys buy so make lots of memories, wirte them down and have a good laugh because you wont't survive the first year without laughing.

If I were able to back to my senior year in high school, I would tell myself three things: 1) you will be okay, it will be hard, but you will find a light at the tunnel; 2) there will be a ton of tension between you and the family, DO NOT LET IT GET TO YOU because it will cause a minor bump in the road and will also cause you to be stressed more than you need to be; and 3) do not hand out with your friends as much because you need to focus. If they are your friends, they will understand. Overall, just do the best you can. No matter how many times people have said that "it will be worth it," it really will. Nursing is an amazing career choice and even though you want to be a graphic design major, there will be a chance that you will treasure your choice in nursing. Just stick with Nursing because you become happy and you will not regret the change in major. Just stay strong and be you!

If I knew what I know now I would like to tell my high school self to try harder, not to jump into everything at once, and to breath. In high school I took a few college level classes so the educational aspect wasn't the problem. When I graduated I moved out and started an instant family, I have a daughter and my boyfriend has a daughter as well so the family life was a little difficult to transition into all at once. With that being said, I should of worked harder during high school and even first semester, but I have learned over this past year that it will take a lot of time and persistent to overcome the obstacles of life and better my future for my children and I.

Do not procrastinate, work hard because you are going to regret that you did not towards the middle of your college career. Do not regret anything or feel pressured. If you do, go see the school counselor sooner, most of the problems start out with mom anyway. She will always get her feelings hurt no matter what. Do not take it personally, never hold a grudge and when Andrew recommends someone to the apartment that you do not like, do not hold back and tell him how you truly feel. He will understand because in the end of that dilemma, he will cut them off completely. Also look up the 5 love languages for Taylor's sake. You will appreciate her and all of your friends from here on out.

Hey beautiful, a word of advice as you step into the world; grow up fast, and run while you can. Run away from all of what is holding you down. Run away from all the people holding you back, grasping you in hug they claim is full of love. Run toward school, it's your saving grace. School is what is going to keep you focused, it's going to change your life for the better. It doesn't matter how difficult math is sometimes, get tutored and get a degree as quickly as you can. Don't let anyone hold you back, there will be those people who you think love you, and who may be well-intentioned, but it's your life; make your own mistakes not others. Whatever you do, never stop learning, never stop seeking, and bettering yourself. Education is the first step to your future, to your success and to your independence. Stay youthful and beautiful, but grow up inside. Know that you are free when you have knowledge, and with knowledge nothing and no one will be able to hold you back.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself I would say, Mike be open minded in what ever happens. Be social, dont't be afraid to talk to professors and peers. Also get to bed early and get work done as soon as possible because it'll leave you more time to go out with friends and have fun. Give your 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} in anything and everything you do from small assignments to big ones, and even in sports. Maintain your health because getting sick in college is the worse feeling and the school doctors don't have much to do for you. Above all don't forget to call your family often they will always be there for you in any occasion weather its just to talk or if its a problem they will help, and it will make you less home sick in the long run.

Prepare yourself a lot better for something that will be very challenging. Also prepare better from the moment you are in a high school with a better GPA and just be prepared to be away from home. Everything will be fine if you just keep yourself focused!
