My first advice to myself would be that the teachers are not the enemy. Teachers just want to do one thing, teach. They are there to help you if you let them. Math seemed to be so hard and foremost unnessesary, but try to adjust your cake recipe without math, you will have a mess. History seemed to be just that, history. Try to have an intelligent conversation about a movie that played in past times, you come off like a fool. Try to go on a vacation and don't even know which country your favorite vacationspot is near. Things that seemed so useless then make sense now. Take knowledge for what it is, an investment in your future.

If I were a senior in High School and know what I know now, I would have a lot of advice to tell myself. I would definitely tell myself to look more into the schools that I am interested in. Do not just go by what you have heard from a friend. Do a little research to know exactly what to expect. I think it is very important to know how to stay on track to graduate in exactly four years. There is no reason why it should take much more time than that. I would also tell myself to think throught the entire process before commiting to a college. I would make sure I really want to go to that specific school. I also think that saving money is very important, so choosing a cheaper college will only help out in the future.
