If I had the ability to go back in time and talk to myself my senor year I would stress the importance of staying focused on academics. I used to be lackadaisical about my school work at thought that simply getting by was good enough. I would encourage me to be more active in extracurricular organizations. Also I would encourage me to tough it out and not quit the volleyball team because it was good exercise and keeps me out of trouble. Lastly I would tell me to really focus on what's important to me, and steer me away from the major that I switched already.

Dear Anna, I would like to tell you to relax and that you can't make a mistake in what college you choose to go to becasue they all have something great to offer. You need to be prepared to have the time of your life and meet some of the most amazing people this world has to offer. School is not going to be all fun and games though, you will have many late nights and you won't always see eye to eye with your professors. There is going to come a time where all you want is to go back home and be with your family, but you will get through it and get to see them soon enough. Don't be afraid to try new different things like geology club or switching your major. Experience everything you possibly can or you will regret it later. Most of all just have fun and find yourself becasue this is what the college experience is about. Find out what it is like to be independent. love, your biggest fan p.s. Don't eat the cafeteria food because you will hate yourself an hour later.

Don't stress. College is awesome. It's a great an inviting environment. Work on finding scholarships, they seriously help and your work pays off. I didn't work as hard as I could, and now I'm constantly looking for anything I can. Be ready for one of the greatest steps of your life!

Request a different floor. Everyone here is noisy -.-

Dear Kasey, Senior year will be filled with difficult classes and demanding schedules. Don’t worry because it will be worth it. But please don't take anything for granted. Appreciate the musical talents that have been given. Because in a few short years a freak accident will take that ability away. And you will regret not making the most of music when you had the chance. Cherish the people in your life. Don’t be afraid of death when it starts picking away at your family. Soon, family will die. And you will spend the rest of your life regretting not having the courage to say goodbye. Don’t shut doctors out. I know you have been sick since you were little. And it’s painful to relive all the memories of doctors abandoning you. But no matter how many times doctors fail you, don’t give up. You will be healthy one day. Because for every ten doctors, a few will actually listen. And they will fix your broken body. But most importantly, have fun. Don’t spend hours stressing over those AP tests. You will do fine. Instead, shut those books and dance in the rain!

Actually, now i am currently enrolled in technical school for my medical assistance programme(associate degree).I literally work tirelessly in many academic and leadership roles. I sleep no more than six hours a night because of my desire to expertly meet my many commitments. Throughout my life, I have worked as long and as hard as I possibly can to effect beneficial changes in both school and society.In addition to learning science, I recently lectured physics classes on special relativity at the request of my physics teacher. After lecturing one class for 45 minutes, one student bought many books on both general and special relativity to read during his study hall. Inspiring other students to search for knowledge kindles my own quest to understand the world and the people around me. Clearly, I have devoted my life both to working to better myself and to improving civilization as a whole. Throughout the rest of my life, I hope to continue in this same manner of unselfish work. Just as freeholder Crabiel dedicates his life to public service, I commit my life to helping others and to advancing society’s level of understanding.

The transition from a small, community high school to a college setting sprouts numerous seeds of uncertainity in adolescents. However, there are many keys to help rid the mind of these worries both before arriving and on campus and afterwards. Prior to moving into on-campus housing, fill photoboards with pictures, ticket stubs, and other items that remind you of your high school days and home life. This will help with the transition phase to living independently. Additionally, bring special items from home such as specific books, picture frames, blankets, or even a stuffed animal from your childhood. It is important to surround yourself with reminders of home and comfort when entering a new environment. Finally, before arriving on campus, communicate with your future roommate as much as possible, and really try to get to know them. This will help make the first meeting exciting instead of nerve-wracking. After moving into the residence hall, attend the university's organization fair and orientation programs. While it may not sound like the most fun thing to do, I guarantee you will leave having met other freshmen like yourself and being more comfortable than you ever thought possible.
