I would tell me not to overwhelm myself by taking on 3 jobs and full time classes. I would tell myself that living with mom and dad might not be the most adventurous of decisions, but in the long run it will provide me with a much better opportunity to finish college in a timely manner instead of taking so long. I would tell myself to make sure to study hard, but also make time for friends whom I now seem to have left by the wayside. I would say that late bills and bad credit and struggling just to put food in the house is the reality of the glamorous life I saw in my head, and I should be in no hurry to jump into those waters. Most importantly I would tell myself to really really think about what I want to do before I change majors three times and make life harder on myself again than it needs to be. I would encourage myself to be more social, and not to let negative people hold me back because I can do this, no matter what it takes.

The advice that I would give myself would be take college seriously. What you accomplish in the next four years is going to affect the rest of your life. Have a good time during college, but push yourself to succeed and do your best. Life can be easy or hard, you just have to decide if you want to do the work to accomplish your dream. One day you will be the best at what you do and the next few years are going to help you achieve that goal. Stop at nothing, no obstacle is too hard to accomplish with your dream in mind. You just have to want it bad enough. College is not only a great opportunity, it's a gift. Use that gift to the best of your abilities and strive for excellence.

When you enter out the door into being an adult, step your foot into reality there is a big process of change. I would tell myself that High School has a reason to accomplish a life after the basics you need to learn. Thrive with passion and goals that are headstrong means you can get anywhere in life. Do something you desire rather than you dislike. If you have faith and believe in yourself and do what it takes, then everyone knows then it's never impossible to make something of yourself. You dream, then you can acheive the impossible. A lot of times people let their guards down and think only once and not twice about the actions they make when they are young. A lot of people have a hard path to walk and some easy. It takes someone to be independent and their head held high to prove what they are destined to do in just one life time they are given. Learn from advice and know the rights rather than doing wrong. It's faith in yourself and the thoughts that counts. Education is the door to joy and success to a better life for yourself.

I would tell myself to really focus and to take school incredibly serious. I would tell myself that the decisions I am making will affect the rest of my life. I would remind myself that my future is in my hands; and, if I apply myself....life can be quite rewarding. I will also tell myself that time flies; and, my future will be in front of me before I know it. I would encourage myself to exhibit self-control when it comes to thinking about impulsive decisions like eating and wasting time doing things that are productive and won't make a difference in my future. Most importantly, I would remind myself to always put others first; and, to consider how I can make a difference in the lives of others.
