Go to college as soon as you can. The longer you wait to get a great education and career, the longer and harder your education will be. The more time inbetween high school and college, the more likely you are to drop out or not attend. After high school, if you are not in college you probably won't be working at the job of your dreams. Going to college increases your odds of financial success and personal happiness greatly. College can be the most rewarding thing you ever do in your life, make sure you don't wait to go.

When looking at a major or an emphasis in school leave all your options open, but don't overload yourself. Take your time with everything in school. Don't rush through it, it may be some of the best years of your life. Also realize why you are attending college; to learn. Do the work and make an effort to get a lot out of every class, you are paying for it. Have fun.

I would tell myself to work harder in high school. If I had taken more AP credits and worked a little harder, it would have simplified alot of the general education credits and helped out so much more. I would also warn about my first roommate, who was a drug dealer and very difficult to live with. Overall, I would try to set myself on the premed path much earlier instead of deciding right before college. I think this would have been beneficial and made me a much better student currently. I would also try to get myself to worry less and be more independent then, because it would be good to be in better practice for that. I would also tell myself that it's ok to be who I am and that I shouldn't worry about what people think about me. I feel these would all address issues I've experien ce since coming to college.

find something that you enjoy. Then, when you go to college, its good to have at least an idea of what you want to do, so you aren't in school for ten years. and do not be afraid of being who you really are, otherwise, you will have difficulty finding real friends. and stay focused on school. dont slack off. be happy with who you are, and dont try to impress anyone. if anything, improve yourself only if you want to. be happy and be safe.
