I would tell myself to start making good study havits right now. I would tell myself to budget my time so I could have more than enough time to study. I would also tell myself to start saving money.

If you don't really know what you want to major in, go with General Studies. C's do NOT give you degrees. Try different things in college, you might find something you're interested in. Be truthful to yourself, that way you don't waste time or money in the long run!

I would tell myself to get more involved early on in my college career because that is how everyone makes lifelong friends. I was always quiet, so I would have told myself that the best way of getting involved was through volunteer organizations and not a sorority that wasted my time trying to fit me in.

Apply for as many scholarships you can, start off as an English major because you know you love to write and have a knack for editing, so it's the obvious choice (or a VIZ major because you're an artist and love working with computers, which makes it the other obvious choice--or, hey, why not both?), don't buy meal plans because they're ridiculously expensive compared to trips to the grocery store, get a job that isn't a student worker position because those don't help you get in-state tuition, and STUDY.

Take as many dual credit classes as you can and don't lose focus when you get to college. Slacking off will get you one step forward and eight steps back at A&M.

I would tell myself to study more, save more money, and to cut loose a little more.

I would remind myself that knowing my exact career is not a necessity right away. I have plenty of time to figure out exactly what suits me, and what makes me happiest.

I would also remind myself to rely heavily on my faith, because with that strong foundation, anything is possible.

Pay more attention to getting into college. As a senoir in highschool, I didn't pay attention at all. My SAT scores were really high and is the reason I got into any colleges, but I was slipminded about the process and didn't get to chose really. I also let others dictate what my life would be and didn't push for the things I really wanted. So, "be your own person" and "pay more attention to choice" and "go for that boy florian with all your heart" those are the things I would like to go back and say.
