If I could go back in time and talk to myself as an high school senior before entering college, I would give myself alot of advice. First I would tell myself to make the best grades I can my first couple of years while the classes are not that hard. Then I would say get to know your professors and communicate with tbhem. Then I would I advise myself to apply for as many scholarships that I can. Lastly, I would say get involved where you could meet new people and learn new things.

Becca all you gotta do to get through college is show up to class! If you show up and take some form of notes then college will be a breeze. Teachers respect you if you show up on time and come to every class, believe me. Even if you are the worst test/quiz taker in the world the teachers are willing to help you out. It's definitely true if you give them respect you will receive it back ten-fold. I haven't had a teacher yet in my two years at community college that wasn't willing to help me out with a class I was struggling in. Show up and open your ears; these tools will get you a colleg diploma.

I was actually never a high school senior, I graduated as a Sophomore and went straight into community college. However, if I were able to go back to that Sophomore deciding that that I'm over the whold high school scene, I would warn myself that the college years to come will be both harder and easier than expected. When I had decided to go into college, I expected the work to be hard and that it would be the same type of work as high school and that socially I would be fine because I would still choose to see my friends ouside of school. The reality was really something different. The type of thinking needed in college is much different than that of high school. Unlike high school, I had to spend a lot of time studying, even when I had no assignments to do. Also, socially it is hard for a sixteen year old in college. Many of my friends in high school did forget about me, because I was no longer in that scene, but there were no cliques in college and everyone was free to be friends with everyone else.

The advice that I will give my self back in high school would be apply for as many scholarships as possible or work really hard tobe on that athletic team that you love so dearly. Make sure you are not stress out about how you are going to pay each and every semester you are in college. Enjoy college make goals for yourself for each year and try to stick to those goals. Stay envolved with the community and the volunteer that you have done in the past, it will come in handy. Stay focus at all time and you should do just find.

I couldn't make a better decsion .

If I had the chance to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior ,the one advice I would give myself is to use this time wisely and dedicate time to the grey matter thats located between your ears because it will take you far. To always have goals in life , no matter if their long term or short term goals. Having goals will keep you motivated and focused. I will let myself know that the choises you make today are critical to whom you will become in the future and to always be lead by your dreams and goals.

The advice I would have given myself would have been to open my mind a little more and allow myself to make more friends. I would have told myself to study harder than my classmates and if I didn't succeed in my current major, it would be okay if I changed it. I would have told myself to not be afraid to try new opportunities, especially opportunities that I deemed as foolish and not in my character. I would have told myself to communicate with professionals in my field of study. I would have told myself to not be afraid to fail and to learn from that failure and try to find another solution. I would have told myself to improve my social skills, because college is the best place to learn and be social.

In reflection of my high school senior year, the best advice I would offer myself is to always strive for excellence. Be the best at whatever you pursue and stay focused. Excellence is something to desire every day for every moment for every second. Leave a legacy of an attitude of gratitude. Also be willing to volunteer until you have made a difference in someone's life. After you have made a difference in one person's life, continue until you have touched millions. The world is an open book and you are the author of your own destiny.

As a freshman in my second semester of college , I have not had much time to experience much in college. However one thing that I have gotten out of my college experience is that it is important to stay true to who you are. It is one of the most important things to do because if not then you will be subjectable to other people's opinions and beliefs and you will forget who you are. It has been valuable for me to attend college so that I am able to develop a better life for myself. By attending college I am also making sure that I have something to fall back on and making sure that I am able to live the life that I want to live.

I have only been in college for three weeks and what I have gotten out of the experience is that I am twenty nine years old and I have to find myself again. I have had a ten year career in the United States Navy, traveled the world, worked long hours, partied hard, managed people, have had enormous responsibilities, and grow professionally and personally. Through all of this it is refreshing to realize that there is more of me to find out about, discover, and strengthen. I know college will allow me to grow and experience more than I have seen in the military.
