Dear Amber, The ending of high school is only the beginning of your life changing. College is amazing. Embrace it. When you go to try out for the school musical, don't be afraid to strut across stage like a star, because you are one. Don't ever let yourself be convinced that you aren't good enough to be here. You are. One day you're going to think you're in love, and who's to say you aren't? Love is fleeting, so don't be afraid to love like there are expiration dates on your inner thighs. But before you love someone else, don't forget to love yourself. Know your worth because if you don’t, people will treat you like you're worth nothing. Beware of liars whose words melt you like honey. But most importantly, when you're heart gets broken, remember that getting an apology is like getting an oxygen mask on a hijacked plane. Forgive yourself before you forgive the person next to you. And remember that these scars only give you wisdom and something to gossip about. Love, Yourself P.S Don’t take Pre-Calc. It’s the devil.

If I was still a high school senior, I would tell myself to focus on my studies and make sure that I have everything done on time. In high school, a lot of teachers would tell me that when I get into college, I can't ask for extra days on assignments and procrastingating is not an option. I procrastinated on applying to colleges and applying for scholorships, so I was left with none. Taking the time to do my best on all of my work without procrastinating would've made things a lot easeir for my grades to get better. If I took the time to make the best that they could be, it would've been a lot easier for me to plan out for college; it would've helped me financially with scholarships too.

The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey is a great college to attend after high school. The professors show a great desire to help their students and the students and mostly friendly and willing to help in any ways. Joining a fraternity was one of the best decisions I made at college as well, my only regret is that I joined sooner. The brothers of the fraternity are all very friendly and willing to help scholastically any way they can. Joining the track and field team was also a great decision because I made a great deal of friends on the team. The coaches are also helpful and the experience I gained from collegiate running was awesome. Even though it is a small school, Stockton is a great place and I would recommend it to anyone wishing to get the most out of their college experience.

During high school years, we all think it is a drag by senior year. Most students are sick of the day by day going to school and being tired. When everyone looks back at it now after being in college, we all figure out how mcuh harder the real world is. I regret not creating better studying habits and not taking full advantage of teachers help in high school. Just because it was just high school. I would tell myself, work harder, and open my eyes to the different opportunities in high school because in college you'll have to know even more.

I would tell myself that everyone is scared when they are first introduced to the college world. Everyone is looking for a friend to get them through college, and by telling someone "hello," you opened the door for a brand new friendship. The college does not make the student feel welcomes, the students surronding them do and I think that is someone people do not realize. Now that I am a senior, I realize all the people I missed saying "hello" to. I would make a better attempt to give people friends, because when you feel alone, that is all you need. I really do believe college is based on the people, much more than the academics. That is what makes a college distinct.

If I could go back in time, I would tell myself to not sweat the small things. In high school, I spent so much time dwelling over such petty things like what I was wearing, or if I was going to have a date for the prom. Looking back on it, I wish I hadn't worried so much over everything, but instead, just enjoyed that time. I made so many positive memories in high school, but I know I could have made a lot more if I wasn't so anxious about everything. Sometimes you need to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

The best advice I would give myself as a high school senior would be, enjoy the journey that lies ahead of you. It is powerful because people forget that life is a journey; there will be high moments just like there will be low moments. I had to learn how to take advantage of the opportunities that were in front of me. Also, to get out of my comfort zone because I would not achieve anything by doing what I felt was comfortable. Sure, academics in college are significant; however, building relationships with peers and professors are important too. By doing so, I form connections with them and know that if I need assistance in anything, they would help me. People can choose to be adventureous and take chances, or stay the same and never progress. All in all, life is what you make of it.

If I could go back and talk to my high school senior self, I would make one major point. At all costs, stay focused. In high school, college, or career, do not lose sight of your goals or become discouraged through hardships. Do not let yourself become lazy or distract with irrelevant things. Prioritize and remain with those priorities regardless of the situation. Also, be knowledgable and educate yourself with what is needed to move forward in the future such as class, activities, and internships. You have to be able to survive on your own. No one will baby you. You need to take control of your future and do not waste any time. Time management is essential. You have to balance your academic and social lives. If you manage time wisely, your stress level will be lower than if you don't. Be positive. Be motivated. Be focused.
