As a high school senior most students have the majority of their requirements completed and slack off in their studies for their last year of high school. The problem with this is that you are not ready to get back into your classes when you get to college. I would tell myself to keep going strong and challenging myself in all aspects of education and that will help me to be a successfull college student. I would also tell myself to keep applying for college scholarships and don't give up, because anything that you get is very appriciated and needed.

If I could go back in time to talk to myself when I was a senior in high school. I would have told myself "GET A JOB!" Because college is very expensive for my budget, I can?t keep up with the billing payments. Growing up in foster care I didn't have a dime to my name and knowing now that I don?t have a cent to my name to pay for my extra school expenses is very hard to get by with school officials. Everyone in school we?re able to balance a job and the extracurricular activities. While I just happen to focus on just my academic requirements. The transition to college from high school has been an overwhelming experience in all different aspects. In a good way I have a support system with professors. Where I can ask for advice, but the bad thing about college is financial outcome in the end. I?m constantly paying some kind of hidden fee to the school of my choice and that?s no fun.

to go to school for what you really want to not what you think will get you more money that way you don't end up giving the school more money because you end up changing your major to what it should have been in the first place.

You have to be rensponsible with your studies and not slack. Success in college is unlike success in high school, in the sense that intelligence alone does not cut it. You have to do your homework and study, or you may become a waste of talent.

I would tell myself to stop worrying about everything. That it is not as scary as I thought it was going to be . College is a very fun thing to do with. It's a great atmosphere and you meet tons of cool people. With a little hard work and dedication it will create a new outlook of yourself just stay confident.

Get involved in a church small group right away. The friends and support you find there will help you so much. It's nice to see people around campus you know and it's fun to get together throughout the week to hang out.

I would tell myself to take the ACT again and try to improve my score to be able to get more scholarships. I would also tell myself to stay in shape through that last summer before college. It would also be a good idea to take more math classes in high school to get ready for college math classes. Have fun and don't stress out!

Take the ACT more often! Even if you have a high score, the higher you recieve the more money you recieve and it is worth it. Choose a school that you feel a good vibe from and try to have an idea of what you what. The campus I choses is beautiful and a small student oriented campus which made the transistion much easier. Once you are on campus check out the activities they offer, there's something for everyone and it's a great way to meet new people. Make new friends, you need to branch out and not just stick with the friends you have always had, the relationships you form in college are phenomenol and on a whole different level. It may be scary to go out and meet people, but find someone who looks interesting or is alone as well and buddy up, it will be worth it!

Get involved as much as you can in things that interest you so you can get to know people that you're going to school with!
