As a high school student, I took mostly everything for granted. The home-cooked meals, the conversations in the car with my parents, and spending time with my friends seemed like nothing special. Although college life is great, these things do not happen every day. After all the excitement of beginning freshman year wore off, I found myself missing everything I left behind. I never appreciated everything I had at home. One of the things I took for granted was school. I looked at is as something I had to go through in order to succeed in life. I had an excellent high school with teachers who really wanted their students to succeed. However, I did the minimum amount of work in order to get by. Had I taken advantage of these opportunities in high school, there would have been a much smoother transition from high school academics to much more challenging college academics. I would have told myself to give my parents an extra hug, to thank my mom for the meals she prepares every night, and to take my academics seriously. I would have not lived a minute without showing gratitude to those who want me to succeed.

Figure out why you are doing what you want to do. If you have an answer, then pursue it. Don't wait until you are halfway through your college career before determining whether or not your major is for you, because of the financial cost.

The advice I would give myself would be, to quit being so naive and thinking that I know everything. To Fill out as many scholarships as possible, college is not cheap. Also some advice I would give myself would be to try harder, just because I got accepted to the school of my choice does not mean my grades don't matter (what I mean by that is, I got accepted into my school in november, and from then on I didn't care how my grades looked). Come to college with your "head in the game" everything else can wait. And last but not least, Develop a Relationship with God, and talk to him about your calling in life.

I would stay focused all through high school and continue to develop good study habits. I would be realistic about what I want to major in and what I would be successful in as far as a career choice. I would do more research on colleges, financial aid available and majors to study. I don't feel that I studied enough as a senior and this hurt me when I started my freshman year in college. I also didn't look at a variety of schools. I'm happy with Baylor but it's very expensive. I should have pursued more scholarship opportunities to receive as much financial aid as possible.

You have made mistakes and will continue to, but college life is that time for you to grow. You will love and live, so don't slow down or get bummed out. The people you will meet will help shape your life. Not to worry, you will fall in love with your future major and degree, though it never entered your mind that you would be doing it. Freshman year is going to be hard and difficult, and throughout those, you will look back and say you are glad everything happened because you are now so much stronger. Persevere through that and search for who you are. Baylor will allow you to find yourself and bring out who you truly are. For it is the place to BU.

I would say to just keep doing what I'm doing. My high school prepared me very well for the college experience. I would say to value the academics that I was obtaining and to take advantage of that fact to the fullest extent. I would also so to be prepared to have work at being social. That having friends and getting involved in good organizations will not just happen, but I have to be proactive about it. Also, not to let the academic side of college become my only focus. I need to learn that there is value in social interaction, especially outside of class. The closest friends that I would have do not come from classes all the time, unlike high school, so I need to make a conscious effort to met people and hang out with them. Overall, I would say to stay in it and just persevere.

Learn how to study effectively in high school, even if you do not have to study in high school. Take some college courses to prepare yourself, and start thinking about a career and research it far in advance.

I would tell myself that I should apply to more than one university and to make sure that the one I choose is the one I really want to be at, to make sure my career can successfully be obtained at that university, and to make sure I feel comfortable there. I would tell myself to get better grades, and to study more so that freshman year won't be as hard.
