Assuming that I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior and knowing what I know now about college life and making the transition, the advice that I would give myself would consist of the following: be more conscientious about your career goals , work on a higher gpa, take college -core cirriculum courses while in high school so that transition to college will be easier ( from the aspect of college core courses, for example: algebra), visit the prospective college campuses which I plan to attend and meet the faculty/staff.

I could have did better but i made it through

Assuming I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would have plenty to tell myself about college life and making the transition. I would tell myself to get ready to be more mature. College is a place of higher education and higher order thinking. You cannot make it through with a teenage mindset. You have to come serious and ready to begin your higher education learning. I would also tell myself that, even though you should be very serious about college, do not forget to enjoy yourself during the process. These are the best years to live your life and get to understand yourself and others better, so enjoy it! I would also tell myself to leave the ladies alone! Sure they are beautiful, but they often are a distraction on your path to success. Get your work done, THEN go flirt with them. Assuming I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, these are the things I would tell myself about college lie and making the transition.

Understand that you are making a big transition from high school to college. If you want to make it easy on yourself begin to make good study habits, balance of time and stay focused no matter how hard things get. Understand that education is first, then other extra activites follow.

If I could go back in time and give myself some advice about college, I would tell myself to make sure that I have a good studying system so that I can apply it to my college work. I would tell myself this because I know that in high school, I did not have great studying skills. The work just came naturally to me so I did not feel the need to study. I recieved a scholarship because of my good grades in high school. However, I lost my scholarship because I did not have good study habits. Now, I have to re-teach myself how to have good study habits. I would also tell myself to be more active in school activities. In high school, I was involved in several activities and here I am not. This scholarship will give me the motivation to keep my grades up and be successful.

If i could go back in time and speak with myself I would say I need to be prepared for change in all aspects. I would stress getting mentally prepared for everything that comes along with being in college and start being more physically fit since that plays a role with me being in college. I would have to learn better listening and study skills in high school instead of waiting until college to improve them. I would say get used to doing things on your own because you have to take care of your own business and clean up your own messes.

Have a focus on the career you wish to flourish in. Focus on academics, better grades open better opportunities, strive to be a productive student, get involved with community betterment events. Balance social and academics appropriately. Lend a helping hand to those who may find a class difficult and you thrive in it. Reach back to another and help, pay it forward with good deeds,

My advice would to simply do my best, because in highschool i just skated my way through. As long as i had a 3.0 i was content. But, now that I have gotten older I have realized that doing your best has a dirrect corrillation to the ammount of scholarship money one receives. I graduated with a 3.0 and I have just a little bit more than half of my school paid for the rest are all out of pocket expenses. So, the moral of the story that many people would tell highschool students is do your best as long as your trying your hardest and doing your best the money in scholarships will show it.

Study harder, make better grades because you will get into a better school.

I would tell myself to be aware of my surroundings. I would also tell myself to do everything on time, stay committed, and never let anyone get to you and stand in your way. I would tell myself that I should know that I have a beautiful heart and that I should be able to overcome any obstacle that stands in my way. I would say make sure I get a job so that I can help pay for more things instead of being stressed out. I would say that I am going to be the first in my family to graduate from college and that will make my mother proud. I want to also make sure that I tell myself to continue to be a leader because it will help me in the future to become a more successful person. The last thing I would tell myself is that the people who said I would not make it far in life, that I did it. The number one thing I would tell myself more than anything is that I have loving parents and siblings that care for me and that they will help me out the most in life.
