I am turning 30 in a few weeks, and the one regret I have involves the decisions I made after high school. I didn't put much thought into my future. I was admitted into a good school, but I didn't even try to do well. I took a few years off, and just had fun, without any regard for my future self. Now that I am older, I have realized that my education is important. I have recently gone back to school and am doing better than I could have imagined. I have future plans to attend graduate school and am looking forward to my bright future. If I could have a 5 minute conversation with myself, I would stress the importance of education. I would tell myself that I am smart, and I can suceed! I would mention that it only gets harder as you get older, and you may never have the opportunity to be in college again. I would warn myself that paying for college and trying to work full time is very stressful as an adult. Mainly, I would tell myself not to give up and it will definitely pay off in the end.

If I could go back to college as a high school senior, the advice I would give myself would be just to enjoy life. Too many students stress over the SAT scores and acceptance letters, however, if you were a student that was dedicated and utilized your time and effort throughout your high school career then you should not stress. Senior year of high school should be your best time of your life, making a smooth transition from highschool to the real world.

I have always been an education driven person. From an early age I knew college was in my future but what I did not realize was the transition was greater than I had expected. College life is completely different from a small town highschool life. In highschool I was one of the few who took school work seriously but even that could not have prepared me for the college work load. The advice I would give myself as a high school senior is to practice better studying techniques. Also work on your time management because when you're in college every professor will most likely give you deadlines all around the same time. Do not slack off, and use note cards. Notecards have saved me in college. Any vocabulary word or phrase that you need to know, put it on a note card and study it religiously. Over all it is important to have a strict work ethic or you will fall behind.

If i could go back in time. I would tell myself to apply for all scholarship take all honors class and prepared for the life ahead. Dont be afarid of what is to come. You Cna strive to become whatever you want just apply yourself. You can do whatever your mind wants to do. Believe in yourself and the others around you. I will also strive others to do the same. Believe in themselves when nobody esle believe in them.

You are going to love UNCP & I am so proud of you! You're on the right track of studying, testing and having playtime. Life will try to stand in the way of your schooling, but don't get discouraged just keep going. Life is difficult enough, try making it without an education. You are such a responsible young lady so don't be afraid of debt or taking a loan. Never stop trying to do for yourself because others may not be able or willing to do for you either. The second most important thing... don't let love influence everything you do. Time flies faster than you do so putting your life on hold for anyone else can be tricky. Lastly, don't be embarrassed or too shy to try new things, just as long as they aren't dangerous. That's the fun in life. The point of college life is to expose yourself to new things, people, and environments. If you find yourself in a room of people, make it count. Possibilities are endless so continue to be strong. You got this & remember no one loves you more than me.

if i could go back to senior year and give myself advice, I would remind myself why I was in school in the first place. I would tell myself that all of the drama is not more important than my homework. i would have told myself that the parties that went on last weekend should not break my focus in the class I was currently in. I would have told myself that no matter what was going on in my home situation should not distract me from my studies because doing well in school is what is going to get me and my family a better home life. and most of all i would have told myself that the boys werent worth more of my time than my school work. I would not have let my relationships take my mind off what was really important and what really mattered.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior there are SO MANY things I would tell myself. For starters, set realistic goals and dreams and design a footprint to get there. Be so good that they can't ignore you! Allow that voice in the back of your head to be heard as it's telling you that failure cannot be an option. What don't kill you WILL make you stronger. Ace your attitude! Now that your mindset is in the right direction, know that college life; the freedoms, the lessons, the challenges and the memories- can make you or break you. Don't let it break you but instead embrace this magical time of your life, recognizing that these college years play an important part in the person you become as you develop as a student and a young adult. MAKE IT COUNT. Listen, time slips away faster than a peaceful unannounced snowfall overnight. Learn everything you can. Everything. Don't just hear the words, absorb them. Remember, when times get hard you are not alone. Stay close to your family, even if the miles separate you. Know you are loved!
