Washtenaw Community College Top Questions

Knowing what I do now, I would give myself a few tips as a senior. Looking back I would have applied to more schools and looked at other options out of state. I would also have tried to settle on a major earlier. Other than that, I am proud to say that I am happy with where my life has taken me. Staying home and going to community college, I have met some incredible people, and some of my closest friends, people I couldn't imagine my life without. For this, I am grateful that my life has gone down the path that it has.

If I could go back in time and talk to my "senior self " my last year in high school, I would tell my self this: You're doing great. You've been threw alot, but you have over come the obstacles with no hesitation. Being diagnosed as Bipolar is hard when you have no idea what it means, but thats no reason to give up, fight through this and show everyone you can do it. You know what you want, don't let anyone tell you what you should be, or tell you, "you could do better," do what you want, and especially do what makes you happy, and in the end you will be rewarded. Do your best, do your homework, and stay on track, the best is yet to come.

Take friendships for what they're worth. In a year from now you'll have an entirely different social group, and six months after that it'll change yet again. Ultimately all that matters is that at the end of each and every day, you can look back and confidently feel that you have lived the best way possible, made the best decisions you could, and helped as many people as possible. Try not to worry about money; there's always more out there. Don't beat yourself up if you make a mistake. Afterall, it isn't a mistake if you learn from it - it's a life lesson. Live to learn, always do your best, and never fear the future - in the end, everything will be okay.
