As opposed to generations of the past, high school graduates today are unable to obtain the number of high-paying jobs that were once available. The U.S. has been transformed from a manufacturing-based economy to an economy based on knowledge, and the importance of a college education today can be compared to that of a high school education forty years ago.

My college experience so far has taught me what it really means to be an adult. Being an adult means more than getting away from mom and dad, and putting on high heels. I've had to take responsibility for all of my actions, from staying up late and socializing in the lobby, to choosing to study for an exam hours before I'm suppose to take it. College has in a way forced me to become an individual. In highschool, I could just blend in with my friends but in college students there are looking at you! All of the morals, beliefs, mistakes, and accomplishments that have made me who I am makes it way to the front and everyone sees.

The first piece of advice I would give myself would be to stay on top of my grades. If i had a better high school GPA, it would have been a lot easier to look for scholarships. And to start saving my money wouldn't hurt either. Second, I would tell myself to apply for as many scholarships as possible, particularly book scholarships because books are indeed expensive. Finally, I would tell myself to start preparing to be more self-disciplined. I'm going to be on my own. Nobody is going to be there to wake me up and tell me to go to class, do my homework, or eat properly. I will have to train myself to do all of that by myself.

No what I know know about college life, the best advice I could give myself would be to get all the information I could on free scholarships. I would stay on my guidance counselor at school to make sure that I have a chance to apply for all the scholarships that are in my field of study. I would have started to work earlier in high school to help save money to ease the burden on my mom. I would focus more on my academics and not take any thing for granted.

I would tell myself to completely avoid credit cards, stay focused on my studies, and save my refund money for a car. I would also tell myself to always be confident about my talents and abilities. Lastly, I would say, stand strong on your beliefs Jenn, you will never go wrong.

One should always strive to go somewhere at their pace. If the programs you are currently taking in high school are higher level AP, IB, or honors courses, you should look into colleges that further challenge you to work hard and earn your grade. Always remember that at the end of the day the decision is yours, not your parents', not your friends, and not your teachers. Although these people can be a great support system and grounds for advice, they cannot follow you to school and do the work for you. You should know just as soon as you walk onto the campus that, "This is it. This is where I want to spend 4 years of my life." Do not settle for anything less or try to impress anyone by doing anything more. The choice is yours and so is the opportunity, so take it.
