First, I would convince myself to take Calculus my senior year. I would tell myself that reading and discussion in class is a big part of Wabash College, and that small schools are better for student-professor relationships. Homework is much more important and takes more time commitment.

If I were able to go back in time and conversate with my high school self I would give myself much advice on work habits and time management. First, the work load at college is much more strenuous and has a greater significance. Therefore, I would tell myself as a senior to practice good studying habits and to work more dilgently on my school work. I would tell myself not to procrastinate because the assignments only build in college unlike high school. Time management would be the other area that I would tell myself to change my trends in. I would tell myself to put homework first instead of entertanment because this was my primary struggle as I made my college life transition. I would preach to take advantage of every minute that I have to be productive and to not waste any unnecessary time. Going back in time, and giving my high school senior self advice, these would be the two main areas that I would persuade myself to improve. Having more productive work habits and effecient time management would improve my transition into college after knowing what I know now about college life and its formalities.
