If I could go back in time to talk to myself about college, boy would tell myself a lot. I would encourage myself to get to know the campus a little more before school started so I would't be lost on the first day. I would prepare myself for the piles of work that I would be recieving from day one, until the end of the semester. With all of that work comes a lot of studying too. I would advise myself of the importance, of staying on top of my work and how having a schedule can make things go by a little smoother.

If I could go back in time I would advise my time to take things more seriously and being an athlete won?t get you far. In high school I played basketball and I was always able to turn work in late, I was able to miss a lot of class and use basketball as an excuse and I did not take my academics very seriously. I expected to get a basketball scholarship and e able to do the same things in college. I did not get a basketball scholarship, I got an academic scholarship. The scholarship that I received requires me to maintain a 3.2 grade point average. The transition was hard because I had never had to study before, and there was no turning work in late so I was definitely in for a rude awakening. Luckily the upper classman in the program were helpful and made sure that I got help. I would definitely advise myself to take my academics more seriously because basketball will not always be there, and nothing is easy in college.
