The advice I would give myself as a high school senior would be to do all of the post-secondary and AP related classes that I could to get that extra jump on college. I would also tell myself to be sure and strenghthen to bonds with friends I had in high school, because most friends in college are mostly just associates.

Well me as in high school senior agaian I really was well equip so I would need to many adjustments at all. I thank my mom for having me like that, because she help me get to the point were am at right now in college as an freshmen. Just remember this you can do anything if u put your mind to it.

I would go back and tell myself to do whatever it takes to be placed into AP Biology because it would really help in the long run and make taking bio now much easier. I would tell myself to start getting into the habit of studying more and improving my study habits. I would tell myself to be prepared livign with other people who do not live like me and to start getting ready with how to deal with these people. I would tell myself to get any thoughts of procrastination out of my head IMMEDIATELY! That only leads to cram sessions of studying and having to stay up ALL night to write papers and losing LOTS of AMOUNTS of SLEEP which are heavily NEEDED! I would also tell myself that NO ONE exscapes the freshman fifteen, so to be prepared to start working out regularly so it doesnt stick and to try to eat as healthy as possible. I would tell myself to get to know my professors and form a relationship with them and dont be afraid to talk to them, get help and to utilize EVERY resource the school has available!!!

my advice would be to try harder and high school and to enjoy it i would also tell my self to evreything i can to get ready for college and to save up some money bit the most important thing that would say to my self is to dont be scare to move one with life and that i can do anything that i put my mind to and dont let no one get in my way

I would tell my high school self to really do my best to get great grades. I think paying attention in high school would really help just starting out in college, especially creating good study and organizational skills. I would also tell myself to get very involved in high school to build my interests and interpersonal skills to become involved in college.

If I could go back in time, I would be able to offer a great amount of helpful advice to my high school self. First, I would tell myself to be open-minded and flexible. A large difference between college and high school is the diversity. It can be hard to make friends if one is not understanding of others' backgrounds and habits. Roommates can also be challenging; it is easy to be friends with someone, but living with them is a completely different story. I would also tell myself to study hard and take college seriously. The first semester can be a tough transition, but it is survivable. Plus, the last thing one wants to do is fail a simple introductory course, and then have to spend time and money repeating it. There will be plenty of time to socialize and party and have fun. In fact, college is fun, and there are so many activities and clubs to get involved with. However, make sure that school and studying is always first on the list of priorities. In reality, we do not get to go back in time and do it all over, so live life with no regrets!

My advice would be to remain as focused as possible. Although, my transition was not as drastic as I thought it would be it is tougher being a college student. You are given a lot more freedom , and responsibility. No one is going to make sure that you are up for your classes , eating on a regular basis, or studying. You have to develop your own schedule and stick to it. There is time for having fun and hanging out with friends, but the majority of your time should be directed towards your academics. Just like in high school you should start off strong, so that it doesnt make it harder for you to maintain good grades throughout your college career. Also be sure to utilize your resources as much as possible, thats what they are there for! Thank You, VaNeesha Barlow

There is alot of the advice that I would give myself as a highschool senior. One advice that I would give is to learn how to balance having a social life and school altogether. It may seem like something that may not be that challenging but it is. I would say that always do your school work first and never wait or procastinate papers. The deadlines for papers come faster than you may relaize it. I would also advise myself to become active on campus. Getting into activities or groups allow you to make friends at school and give you a more sense of not feeling alone. When starting a new shool most of the time at the beginning you may feel homesick or lonely. Being able to hang out with friends can help with the feeling of being lonely.

I would say stay in class. listen to the teacher they not just talking because they think its fun. Just beacuse you are the first one in your family to graduate high school, thats doesnt make you grown. I would also tell my self to be more social! go to all the school dance or even plays. You meet know people that which can give u experiance for when you hit college because all you do is meet new people. Take time know a person instand of judging them because they are new to the school. because what goes around comes around. Last be not lest I would say stay focus and save your money. stoop trying to have the lastest trend and put more money into school supplies. Thats what I would say if I could go back and talked to myself as a senior in high school.

I would make sure to tell myself "that regardless of your academic standing, you are not limited to just one school. You still have many options out there. You just need to look , and don't let your academic standing drag you through the mud, cheer up, because there is always a brighter day tomorrow. Get out there and apply for scholarships, you have no idea how important it is to make sure you have funds and dont need to take out loans." When i was a senior, I gave up on a lot of things to easily. I used so many excuses as why i never did any thing. I would say "im just too tired to get up and get that done," or "Nobody will give a scholarship to a person with a 2.3 gpa". I gave up way to easy and looking back, if i would have had the courage to not let my gpa affect my entire perspective on what i can do and whats available to me, i would have ben a lot more prepared for this school year. I would go back and tell myself just to never give up hope.
