I would definetly go back and tell myself to read more, catchup on how to write notes again. I wouldtell myself that college is not the easy ride it's made to be and that i need to be prepared to work and pay atention 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the time in class because the little things the professor says is actually whats on the tests that they give!

The first thing I would tell myself, is to save up as much money as you can. In the long run it makes your college trasition much less stressful on the student. I would also tell myself to enjoy my high school years and not to rush it. They fly by so quickly and college is a whole other life. Being away from your family and long life friends is something that is extremely hard to deal with, but is definitely manageable. Being able to manage time is a large part in being successful in college. I have always had problems with managing my time, and so I would have definitely tried to work better on it in my high school years. I believe the last thing I would have told myself is to be ready to work because at college, you do not get away with those little irrresponsiblities like you do in high school. Being responsible and disciplined is extremely important in being a successful college student.

if i could go back to my senior year one of the things i would tell myself is to learn how to use mla. when i started college i was expected to know it and i had never used it so it was a big challenge in my college career. also i would fill out a lot more scholarships. college is so expensive and paying for it myself is very difficult on a babysitter and work study paycheck. the last thing i would tell myself is to study better. for every hour of class time in college you should study three hours, i never studied in high school and studying here is so hard. it takes so much time and if i would have studied in high school i feel that i would be a better studier in college.

Going back in time to talk to my younger self, there would be many things that I would want to instill upon the younger me. But of those things school would be one of the more pressing. I would tell him that college is something that he should take more seriously. That it is not just a place to spend time trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life but to be serious not just in is choice in degree, but also in the classes that he should take. I would then tell him of what choices I have made in my pursuit on education and where it has taken me, in the hopes that he will truly listen and learn from what I have done and hopefully spend his time wiser than I have. And as an afterthought before I would leave him I would tell him that it?s ok to make mistakes along the road to learning, because I don?t expect perfection from him but to try his best.

If I could give myself any advice and go back to being a senior in high school, I would tell myself to be prepared for a big shock. I did not realize how hard it would be in college, it makes it ten times more stressful to take college courses based on the fact that you are paying out of pocket and really have no room to mess up. I would tell myself to be prepared to stay up hours of the night studying a subject you feel you do not know anything about it. I would also tell myself to be prepared to realize that you are not as smart as you believed and there is so much more to learn. I really strive to want to learn things and read now. It's amazing how much knowlege there is to be had.

Dear Carlos, you are about to go to college, and i want you to know that it will not be easy. You are going to have to study and manage your time properly. There will be a lot of peer pressure to do bad thing, but i know you will always make the right choice. Please be careful and try to be mature about what you do.

As a senior, you're going to want to enjoy your year and have fun. Have fun, but learn as much as possible. You'll find that students attending the university may learn a lot faster than you do. Classes are expensive, if you can take any transferrable classes at a community college in the summer, it'd help. Remember you aren't living with your mother, pick up after yourself and respect your roomate. Always be punctual. Procrastination is not an option. The faster you have your work done, the less stress you have. When you first get to school, you are going to be homesick. Making friends is crucial. Become friends with others aside from your roomate. Remember when things get stressful, talk to someone. You can talk to your friends, teachers, advisors, or the Universities counselor. Never be afraid to ask for help. One last thing, there's going to be many parties. Always remember to stick to your morals regardless of what anyone may say.

I would tell myself to start trying harder. I slacked off a lot my senior year, and the work load of college has sort of slapped me in the face. College is a much more in depth experience than high school was. As a college student, you're till resposible for your school work but at the same time you have to be responsible for yourself. I can choose to not go to class, and it wont make one bit of difference to my professors. It will, however, affect how i do on the test or if i get to turn in my homework. But overall, the main thing I'd emphasize would be to start putting effort into my school work.

be ready to have the time of your life and be ready to do writing for your eng class!

I would tell myself to choose one area of interest and to focus on it only. I would tell her to study and focus on her classes, and to not try and do everything at once. I would remind her it is a marathon and not a sprint, to do what she wants and not something she doesn't. Don't overestimate yourself and underestimate your professors; they can and will help you if you give them notice you need help. Relaxation is important as well, don't overwork yourself. Marathons are not won by sprinters.
