Go to LSU. Don't worry about money or out of state tuition. If there's a will, there's a way. Do the best you can do now so that you will receive more aid for college. It will be expensive. Don't mess around as much with parties and boys. They are far from worth it. The transition is not hard. Just go with the flow. Ask questions. Make friends. Create memories. Live YOUR life!

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!

If I could go back in time and talk to myself in high school senior year and knowing what I know now about college life and making the trasition, the advice I would give myself is to apply for plenty of scholarships, grants, and loans. I would give myself this advice because in college it is very expensive being a student. You have to pay for classes, fees, books, and other college related material. Also, unexpected occurences can come up like tuition fees increasing and budget cuts. Also, another advice I would give myself is register for classes immediately and don't wait until the last minute. Registering for classes is not easy everybody struggles to get into a class because most classes are a requirement class and there are very few classes handed out and very few teachers that teach it. Taking advantage of these advices will make my high school senior self very relaxed when they reach college because they will have plenty of money with all the scholarships, grants, and loans they applied for. Also, they will have all the classes they registered for because they thought ahead and took advantage of making their registration a priority.

If I could go back and talk to my high school senior self I would have a lot to say. I would start by telling myself to take different classes my senior year in high school and also in tech; classes that would benefit me once I entered college instead of some of the other classes I took. I would also tell myself that I need to start out at a community college then transfer to a college or university. Because I would get further, faster doing it that way rather than opposite. And most importantly I would tell myself to find a college or university that fits me that I want to go to rather than one that family pressures me into attending. These are all important things I wish I could go back and tell myself because it would help save a lot of hassle, and frustration that’s happened or is happening now.

I would not let anything interfere with my school work. No amount of pressure would have came between me and my goals. I would have love to know that time would fly by and to appreciate being a student and the learning processes. Staying focused would have been an understatement, I wish I knew that ten years ago when I graduated high school that I would be looking back and wishing I had put my all into college the first time around instead of struggling 10 years later. I wish I would have had the confidence to be the best student possible, dropped any relationship that hindered my progress and I wish I woud have stayed on course with my major/degree plan. Looking back, I'd definitely say that you are NOT giving up no matter what!

I would let myself know that everything was going to be alright and not to worry about a thing. I would also throw a caring arm around my shoulder and encouraged to keep my chin up because the life change that I was about to experince was going to allow me to the person that I had always dreamed of being. I would share the "soon-to-be" experince that college had no limit to how far I could go to acheive my dream and that I would have the biggest support group behind me that I would soon meet when I first walked through the dorm doors of my new home.

Taking upper level classes in High School is an easy way to save money in college. Do yourself a favor and enroll in AP and Dual Credit courses. Learn a foreign language early. Having a specialized skill in the arts or athletics is an easy way to get extra scholarship money. Don't waste your time trying to be popular or partying, because who you are is more about what you make of yourself than about how cool people think you are or how much you can drink. College is expensive and it is too often wasted on young, unfocused students who do not know what they want to do with their life. If you have not figured out where your ambitions lie by the time you graduate high school, then I recommend taking a few years off of school before you start racking up student loans. As an older student, I came in knowing exactly what I wanted out of my collge experience. I took the classes I needed to take and got the degree that I am now putting to use, while only accumulating minimal debt.

I would say, "Brittany, get involed early on, but do not over commit yourself. I tried to get involved in too many organizations at the beginning of the year and had to stop doing some of them because I did not have to time between studying, volunteering, and spending time with friends. Your professors are there to help and want to help you succceed. Do not be afraid to talk with them after class about a test or upcoming project. Also, emailing is a great tool to use to get a hold of your professors. Use it wisely and always be professional in your emails. Lastly , try to not get too stressed about school, but enjoy your time of volunteering, spending time with friends at the river, and the school work itself. This is the last time in your life you will get to just simply be a kid." That is what I would tell myself.

There are three pieces of advice that I would tell myself. The first piece of advice would be that high school friends are not going to stick but college friends well. The second piece of advice is to go out and try different thing. Explore all the possibilities that you can and do not let anything hold you back. And the last big piece of advice that I would tell myself is to have fun. You only get to experience so much during this time so make the best of it and have fun.

The advice I would give myself from knowing what I know now is very elaborate. First I would tell myself that college is completely different from high school and that time management is a necessity. In college I will have lots of freedom and time to do things that I didn't have in high school and that the way I management my time will either bring me success or failure. Another tip of advice I would give myself is that I have to constantly study to be successful. College is not like high school in the sense that I could look over my notes five minutes before a test in high school and still make an A. In college I have to deeply prepare myself for any test because looking over my notes five minutes before my test will bring me a failing grade. The final and most important piece of advice I would give myself is to get involved. College is ultimately what you make of it and by involving myself in groups and activities I will have a great and fulfilling college experience that I will remember for a lifetime.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior there are several pieces of advice I would give. I would first tell myself losing my friends from high school won’t be as bad as it sounds. You will stay in touch with the ones that matter and in college you will meet people who will show you what true friendship is, rather than taking advantage of you. I would explain to myself that the boy you spent your life dreaming of just might be one of the first people you meet when you move into your new room, and you will not feel lonely again. The last piece of advice I would give myself would be the most important. I would tell myself that while you may be quiet and shy right now, in college you will grow more than you ever thought was possible. You will learn who you really are and become a strong independent person who loves life and aspires each day. You will not only realize what is important to you but you will also know what it means to truly be happy.

The Army will be stressful, don't enlist in the Infantry, you will hate it! Also, college is pretty nice, but make sure you're more social. The best advice, though, is only take as many classes as you think you can handle. Do NOT listen to others who say you should take a lot of hours to get through your college career faster. Believe me, you will be hearing them complain come finals. It's better to take it slow and do good, even though you may graduate a year later, than to rush through it and be stressed all four years. Good luck and remember, college is a cake walk compared to the Army when you ship out on July 24, 2008. Bye bye, I must return to the future!
