I would tell myself to focus more on my studies and to get more college credit classes in too. I would also tell myself that the college I will be attending isn't going to be like a normal university and its more focused on christ and what he has to offer. I think as a high school student i had my preconsepctions on what college life would be like and I feel like if I looked a little more into the college I would have been better able to handle going into college

The advice I would give to myself would first of all be to keep a serious attitude and work ethic regarding academics and studies. The primary focus of college is to develop yourself for your career so seriousness in studies is essential. I would also advise that you seek to develop friendships because the people you meet in college have the potential of being life long friends. Be sure to take advantage of the on campus activities and interact with the people that cross your path. Also I woudl advise that you seek a professor to guide and counsel you in you academic decisions. They have the experience and knowledge to guide you in the most important areas of life. Finally, and most importantly I would advise that you keep an open mind as you study, but filter all the knowledge that is sent your way. Stand firm in your convictions and beliefs. Test what you see and then decide if it is right and best for your life and the life of those around you. Do all this in a responsible way and enjoy college as you develop yourself for the future.

Make a difference. I would have told myself to make the most of the time you have left in high school as it is a season of life unlike any other. In high school and college, you have the unique opportunity to influence more people than most will encounter the rest of their lives, so go for it. Do not be shy. Stand up for what you believe in. Love the forgotten and unnoticed. Stop wishing your life away. Stop wishing you were done with this or that class because when high school is over you will miss it. Do not miss this opportunity to show your friends that life is more than what the media displays as success. Practice authenticity in relatioships, learn people's stories, and serve those around you. Take your eyes off your own desires and focus on others. In a year these will not matter. People will remember you for your character and your geniune love not your clothes, friends, money, and popularity. Seriously, make the most of this unique experience that is high school.

College is going to be a hard transition even through everything that is happened in the last couple of years but give it time and everything will work out. God will always be there and ready for you to listen, so listen. College is going to be fun and stressful at the same time but enjoy life as it comes your way.

Make sure to allow time to get to know the people as much as you focus on classes. These friendships will last forever. Also, make sure to make the most out of every opportunity and make other people feel welcome. Don't worry about what other people will think, just be yourself. Take more missions trips and reach out to people in the community. Make sure to do more service activities because those are some of the most fullfilling activities you can do. Make sure to be yourself!

If I could go back to high school and give myself advice it would be to not care as much and just be myself. In high school, I cared so much about trying to fit in and be popular. I tried to be someone that I wasn't and it only made school harder on me and more frustrating. After being in college for a year, I have found that those people in high school that I was trying to impress dont matter anymore. I dont talk to them and I dont think about them. It's sad but at the same time it's life and thats what happens. In college, I am a lot more out going and I be myself. This honestly makes college and life so much more fun and relaxing. Caring about what other people think is just one more stress that you dont need, especially in college. Knowing, this is good for transitioning because then you know you can start over and be who you want to be and who you are. The person you were in high school does not have to be the same person you are in college.
Consuelo
Assuming I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I first would say Consuelo do not procrastinate anymore! Life in college is not easy but it is a great experience. Its preparing me for my future to live on my own and to do things without someone always being there to hold my hand. I would tell myself to not worry so much because the situations that I will face will only turn out for the better. Like I said I would really tell myself not to procrastinate and make sure I have everything done on time. That truly is one of the biggest mistakes that I have had to overcome. Also know that professors will help, and try to stay positive as much as possible. When you set your mind to think everything is going to be so hard and bad then it may end up feeling that way. College is not so bad; it is almost like high school but with different friends and harder classes. You will survive!

If I had the chance to speak to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself three things.
First, I would make sure and empasize the importance of study habits. Studying was one of my weakest qualities as a high school student and is essential to college success.
Secondly, I would remind myself that life is only beginning. College is a great place where friendships grow fast and deep. I would tell myself, "Be outgoing and step out of your comfort zone, the reward is worth more than anything."
The last and most important thing I would address in my visit to the past would be to put God above everything. He is the reason I planned on attending Grace Bible College and should always remain at the center of my present and future because it is the only thing worth being there.
These three things would have been more influential to me than any other advice I could ever have had before starting college. Had I listened to others, I would not be wasting my trip to the past to reiterated what others have said before, but I guess somethings are learned the hard way.
Nicholas
If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a senior, my advice to myself would be to learn to discipline myself. One thing I lacked in hig school was disipline. I didn't know how to study, how to learn. If I had known how valuable discipline would be after high school, I most definitely would not have done all the procrastination that I did. I have learned my lesson, and now I am doing very well in college. Another piece of advice would be to listen to my teachers. They knew what they were teaching, and their wish was for me to do well, but I never got it. One last piece of advice would be this: don't worry about what college will throw ot you, but trust that everything will be great, and it will all work out in time. This certainly would have helped to ease my anxieties about that big change. All of this advice is something that I desperately wish I could go back and use in high school, but since my high school days are done, I can only pass on what I know to other high schoolers.
