Tasha, stay in school. Don't spend the next 23 years of yourlife working on your first degree by going part time, starting and stopping. Get your education out of the way now and life will not be as hard as it has been. You've earned a degree in wisdom, however, the cost of that one is much more than you wanted to be pay, kept you longer than you wanted to stay! Stick out the 4-8 years and get the degree now. Sacrifice now so you can celebrate later! It will be worth it. PS - Your smarter than you think, focus, don't get distracted, oh and your gonna be in debt one way or the other, so you might as well have the education to make the money to pay of the debt. Love ya Girl! Tasha, 23 years later (age 41)

I would definately make sure I knew that college wasn't cheap. I have been working so much to try and pay for it. I am still struggling financially to make it. Be prepared to study and work hard. There are going to be a lot of things going on socially but you need to just remember you can have all the fun when you are graduated and starting your new life. Do not revolve your life around a boy because he is not going to be the one to get you through college. Take mom's advice unfortunately she does know a lot more than you. It is going to seem hard and choatic and at times you are going to want to give up but you can't you'll make it. Just hang in there and do your best that is all they want from you is your personal best. If you can look yourself in the mirror and say I did my best then that's all we want. Keep your head up and study hard! It'll be worth it in the end!

Adam had just fallen asleep, after another long day of doing nothing. When out of the darkness he heard a voice say, "Hey buddy!! Wake up!" That was surprisingly enough to jar him out of his usual "near-coma" sleeping habits. Startled, Adam jumped out of bed and scrambled for the lights. After adjusting to the light he was shocked to find himself looking back at...well himself! he began to struggle to find some way to explain this perplexing situation. Finding none he simply stared back at himself in total awe. Now knowing his earlier self would have no idea what to expect he said, "its just a dream man, so pull yourself together! I have a few things I need to tell you about college and i only have sixty-one more words to do so!" Adam, having no idea how to respond, just intelligently muttered, "Uh, k"......" Well, first thing," he began, "is to work on your study habits, and use them often! Next, get yourself off to a good start and don't fall behind! And finally, and this is a very important one, PLEASE, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! Because I'm tired of always being hungry!"

I would say "Don't be afraid of what's about to happen. There's a whole new door opening in front of you, filled with new experiences! The first step will be the hardest, but as you adapt, and learn how to work in your new surroundings, you will find that it can be fun. And, while it will be difficult, I know that you can rise up to the chalange and take control of the situation!

In talking to myself as a high school senior, there are so many things I could tell myself. To begin with, one of the most important things I could have learned in high school was better studying techniques. In college, you can no longer expect new ideas to come as easily as they did before. The classes are harder and just memorizing answers and then forgetting them after a test is no longer beneficial. You must actually read the text book and learn the information. Don't be afraid to ask questions. The professors are there to help you, all you have to do is ask. If that doesn't work, find something else that does. Experiment with new techniques to find out what is most helpful for you. There are always tutors, or people who can usually help. So overall, just figure out what works for you. That is what matters the most.

If I were able to travel back in time and give myself advice about college life, I would have an extremely long talk with myself. I would first tell myself to become a better student. To really, fully understand what it takes and means to be a student. It takes dedication and a strong motivational character to persevere through the difficult and strenuous tasks ahead. I would also add that there will be plenty of obstacles that may happen along the way that seem too difficult to hurdle, but that everything will be okay. There are people on campus that have the knowledge to help you and to understand what you are going through. Don't be afraid of getting involved, everyone is here to make new friends and learn different ways of life. Just be yourself, truly and genuingely yourself, and everything good will follow.

Do not quit college. Stay and finish and continue your education. Work hard in school and do not just do what you have to get by. Really involve yourself in a good education. However, do not attend CollegeAmerica as they will take your money and not give you an education; this will save you a lot of money and will be enough money to complete your Bachelors degree without having to go out and finding it. Instead get in touch with University of Phoenix and do on line schooling. This allows you to work the hours you need to work at your job and continue your education without conflict. Get more involved with your work and work up in the company. Be more assertive and less passive. And never allow anyone to tell you that you can never attain your goal. Work hard and persevere and it will get you far in life.

I would tell myself to take a little extra time to really research all of my college options; to compare them academically and financially. I only looked into a couple of schools before making my choice and I really wish I would have done things differently. I would also tell myself that I need to be the one that takes total controll over planning my schedule. I have been misled by my academic advisers and I could have prevented that by doing my own research. Lastly, I would have told myself to live in a dorm. That was probably the biggest mistake I made. Making friends and living on your own is a big part of college and I feel as if I missed out on a lot by living at home.
