Never be afraid to ask question And finally be active on your campus. There are plenty of on campus, national and fraternal organizations that will fit the your needs.

I would tell myself to 1. Make sure that you value your time in college, 2. Take your classes and your GPA seriously, 3. Don't waste so much time on boys and other activities that distract you from your studies, 4. Be wise about taking out student loans! You do have to pay that money back one day soon and the payments are not cheap! 5. Most importantly, don't quit school! It is so much easier to finish your degree if you go straight through without any 1-5 year breaks.

in high school i was always the athletic person. if i could go back and talk to myself as a senior i woud have told myself to work harder. i was always worried about sorts and what it took for me to beat my oppnent but i was never really worried about my grades. i though that if i was a good athlete then the rest would follow. that was a bad mastake i made. i would tell myself that i am a student athlete for reason and the student part comes first. i would also tell mysel to do my homework every night and study hard for every test and quiz. as a senior it i important to have good grades an also be a good role model. when you a senior the younger kids look up to you because you are who they want to be in the next four years to come. now that i have experieced a semester college i told myself that i will work hard and do what i have to do to fully achive my own goals. working hard in college is a goal not only for me but formy parents as well

If I could go back to my high school senior year and talk to myself, I would've encouraged myself to push a lot more harder in high school and to stay focused.

I would say nothing because I based my college choice on what can the school do for me and did they have the field that I wanted to go to. I also had an older sister in college already so she will tell me and inform me of everything and I even went to visit her a couple of times. And I also went to visit Wilberforce University with my family so I basically knew what I was getting into before I made that choice. But the only advice I would tell my self that I really need to work on was don't be afaid to talk and be more open to socialize and make new friends, because I was a shy person and I really didn't like meeting new people. And now I have friends that's going to be around for life!!!

Looking back, I wished that I've researched my school more before I joined. I've learned that it's important to ask questions about your schedule so, that in the future, there won't be any mistakes upon graduation. Make sure you stay focus and consistent on applying for scholarships and other forms of financial aid. It is also important to stay persistent with your registeration for each semester and do not wait until the last minute for any assignment whether through financial aid or homework. Time management is a big priority that needs to be praticed daily. Lastly, it's important that I never give up and continue to work hard in everything I set a goal for.

If i could go back in time and give myself advice based on what i know so far about college life, i would tell myself to never wait until the last minute to complete a task, always push yourself to the highest limit, be willing to adapt to different things, set realistic goals for yourself and achieve them, and also learn to depend on yourself for what you need and not on others because once you get to college, its all up to you. It is your job to make sure you do every thing you have to do. Also always stay focused and try not to get detoured, and when your in college make schooling/school work your number one priority.

If i were to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, i would tell myself to work harder. I would have pushed myself more to get an higher gpa, and to actually study for the tests i had. Besides that my college transition was very welll.

If I could go back in time to talk to my high school senior self, i would advise myself to stay even more focused, and to keep my GPA up above a 3.5 like it is now. I honestly wouldnt have much to advise myself, because I feel like I've done the best I can to make my academic scholastic career, and my social life the best they can possibly be.

I would tell myself to drop the high school mentalitiy, nobody going to hold your hand..you have to stand on your own two feet...Mom or Dad is not going to be there for you all the time...you have to depend on yourself...College is not one big party...dont get me wrong there are going to be parties but also there going to be exams too....so you going have to learn to put the important things over the minor...Get good rest and be on time for class....some teachers dont like tardiness...be perpared for class...have all classwork in on time...study hard...oh yeah make friends....you will meet some of best and interesting people in college....and most importantly...have fun...college is a great experience and going to have the time of your life

If I could go back in time as a high school senior I would definitely tell my self to "get ready and shape up." As senior I didn't take college serious until I actually arrive, and I'm honesly still trying to shape up. I pesonally think it's a prt of life, living, and learning. As we live we grow and learn new things everyday. I appreciate things more than I did as a senior, I missed out on opportunities of a life time, and I can't get them back, but one thing that I can do is take the mistakes that I have made and learn from them.

I would make sure that i stay focused. I would have applied to other colleges and took college tours. I would tell myself that the experience you get from college is like no other, I Would focus on school work from the beggining instead of messing up my first semester.

Don't be afraid to leave your parents and friends back at home. Going away maybe the best thing that you will ever do. Doing this allows you to try new things, meet new people and also it makes you more responsible. Yes, sometimes it gets hard being alone in what seems like a new world but as long as you never give up and surround yourself with positive people, everything will be okay. Follow your dreams and do what you want to do, not your parents and not your friends. You are the one that has to live with your decisions, and most importantly NEVER GIVE UP!

One piece of advice that I would give myself is to start researching colleges and universities early. That way it won't be a rush once May comes to make a decision, and possibly make the wrong decision. I would also tell myself to visit the colleges and universities. You can look at a lot of pictures and talk to current students, but you will not fully grasp the environment of the school. You have to go and experience the teaching styles and culture of the paticular university first hand.

The advice that I would give myself is that college is way different than high school. Although you had to focus as high school student, u reallly have to focus as a college student. College is no joke and often times its costs too much to go there and not handle your business.

If i could talk to myself as a highschool senior to give myself advice about college i would tell myself to not be afraid. College isn't nothing to fear, don't fear that you can not succeed and be able to understand the work. I would also tell myself that if you payed attention throughout your highschool education and got good grades you shouldn't have any trouble understanding some courses. I would tell myself to watch who you affiliate your self with and to stay focused. The hardest thing in college is being focused the whole semester and staying on top if your classes. Also i would let myself know to consider joinning an organization because they are very benificial. I would let myself know that time managment and study habits are going to be key and wil to reflect on the grades you are getting. I would tell myself that you are going to be responsible for your education and no one is going to force you to go to class, study or what you should be doing. Most importantly i would tell myself to not forget why you chose to go to college.

When facing the matter of what college or university to attend, I would suggest that one take the time to discover what their wants and needs are; academically, socially and spiritually. The best way to make the most out of ones college experience is to stay involved in school activities. Whether that be varsity sports, student government, or a triathalon team, the key to success is involvement. if you stay active and remain open-minded, your college experiences will definitely be ones to remember!
