meeting new people and trying new things everyday

i would tell myself not to give up. that what you seek will be worth the long nights of studying and abundant stress. i would also tell myself that art is everywhere and that is something that has multiple highlights in this world, so pursue it with abundants and see every project to the end.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself while I was a high school senior, I would definitely explain to myself the importance of saving money. While in high school I worked 20-24 hours per week and I did not save nearly as much as I could have. I did not take any finance courses in high school so I did not know very much about managing my money. When I finally left home to attend college, I learned how well off I could have been if I had saved more of the money I earned in high school. Instead of saving, I purchased material things that did not amount to anything after I purchased them. I think if I would have saved more, I could have dedicated more time to studying during my first year of college, instead of having to get a part-time job to support myself.
