Ashley
Enjoy high school because trust me you will miss it. College is expensive.
Jessica
My main thing that I would tell my high school senior self is to save every bit of money that I made in highschool and to apply for as many scholarships and student loans as I could because i would need every last bit of it. I would tell my self to save even more money so that I could study abroad in Turkey. I would tell myself to work really hard on prepairing for college and to study every chance I get while I am in high school so that I will be even more prepared to study once I enter college. I would tell my self to get a good paying job for when I am in college so that I could pay for college without student loans. I would tell myself to just relax because college is not as scary as it sounds.

If I could go back in time and advise to myself as high school senior, I would first tell the younger Eliane to not worry about being homesick - the campus becomes your family at TAMU-CC. Second, I would say, "Don't you worry about your grades - you've got a good, strong head on those shoulders. Keep it held high." Last, but not least, I would tell myself to enjoy every second of college, as it's a way to open your eyes to new horizons and learn more about who you are.

Pay attention and do not skip class. Utilize the SI sessions. Go out and meet people, but maintain your values.
Jessica
I would say to myself that understand biology more then you have, and take a higher math and understand math as well, also do well in High school and the community college it will pay off in the end.

Make sure to find a college that will fit your needs academically. Make sure that it is also the right size for you. A big school can be overwhelming. Also, make sure that it is a friendly school because in college you will need friends to help you get through the hard times and to help with school work.

My advice to finding the right college for you is to visit these places in person, even if they are far away from home. You'll be surprised! I chose a school thinking the pictures were beautiful and the scholarship opportunity outstanding, but it wasn't until I arrived on campus that I realized the smell of fish was obnoxious and the people were very rude. Visit the school before you choose to attend because this will save you money in the long run if you have to leave or transfer for any reason... and always prepare just in case.

It is so important to visit as many schools as you can so you find the right fit. on your visits, ask plent of questions about student life, academics, dorms/apartments, commute, degree plans, religion and athletics. Spend time there on the weekends to find out about student life and spend time on campus during the week to see how class schdules work.

To make the most out of a colleg experience one must remember that itis in fact just an experience. it doesn't matter that you gt into an ivy leauge gollege just so long as you can look back on this experience and say that you did what you wanted to do. You got the education and the tools to become what you wanted to become. Now don't get me wrong college isn't just play, and the world that hollywood paints for our generation isn't the college that is waiting for you as you apply to these colleges. its a lot of work now adays to become what you want. so work hard and really search for those five colleges that will be able to open and build your mind.
Arturo
I would say that in order to find the best fit, you must know what you are looking for,or at the very least have an idea of what you need. As a non-traditional student I have really enjoyed the challenges I have faced these last three years. in order to get the most from your college experience having an open mind is extremely important.
