Kelli, you should go to school right away and assume you are going to join every club. Why? Because you love to be active, involved, and socialize. You don't want to graduate college knowing only your roommates. You should also get into fitness right away. Since you look to snack and drink lattes you don't want to compromise your health by being inactive too. But you shouldn't just do it to stay in shape. Do what you're good at. Get a job as a fitness instructor. It will keep you moving, bring you money, and you only have to work 5-10 hours a week! With that money make sure to buy yourself some cute clothes now and again, it's exhausting sharing with your friends. Also, put the rest away into a savings, maybe by the time you graduate you can trade in that car, rent an apartment in Seattle, or pay off all your student loans. Oh and one last thing: Go out as much as possible, meet new people, hang out with those you would never be friends with, you will surprise yourself with real, true friends.

The advice I would give myself about college life and making the transition from high school to college would be to do more research. I make a schedule, and I would also create personal schedule. I find myself most of the time saying no to a lot of things. Making a schedule has really helped me out a lot with both school and my personal time.

It was not long ago that I decided to really focus on my future, and continuing my education was the first step.

Going back to high school I would teach myself more about time management. Someone like me that is a single mother, maintaining a full time job and attending school full time definitely needs time management skills. I would continue to remind myself that going to college will pay off in the future, whether it was for myself or my family. Keep a positive attitude at all times and never giving up. Take life a little more seriously considering college is a big deal because it is dealing with your future. Always remember that everything and anything you go through is for a reason and if college is the direction you are headed in, then you were meant to do it. Strive for excellence in everything you do and remember that your future is in the palm of your hands. You are the only one that can decide what is best for you.

I would start by saying that education is more important than you could possibly imagine. I'm sure that right now all you see is graduation, no more high school, becoming an adult, hanging out with friends, and even sleeping in. I know that thinking of college at this point seems like a drag, however, it is one of the most important decisions you can make at this point in your life. The longer you wait to attend college, the further away it seems. Life happens, obstacles get harder to overcome, and college when you are older seems like a distant goal. Most employers that could be a possible career for you require some form of degree. It allows many more doors to open and opportunities to shine through for you. Going to college now may seem boring and uncool but trust when I say that it will pay off in the long run. Tuition and materials will go up, busy schedules, and family will soon be an excuse to not attend. Take the time to go now and put in the years for something you are passionate about. In the end, it's the right choice, the smarter choice.
