Keren

I would tell myself to be be more focused on my academics. I would also tell myself to get more involved in extracurricular activities, and pay more attention in Math class. I would tell myself to love myself and not compare myself to anyone else because I turn out to be a pretty great person. I would also tell myself to sing more, so I would not be too shy to pursue that as a career. Most importantly, I would tell myself "Good job" for all of the things that I did right.

I wish I had paid more attend to what my Mother told me about being aware of different people and their background. There are a lot of people that I found out just there to be there. Be caution about your surround and people.

Honestly, regardless of what I could say to myself, I believe it would be futile. First of all, the person I was in high school would most likely ignore anything I had to say regarding college, but that is not why I choose to deny the opportunity to advise my past self. No, the reason I wouldn't dare attempt to speak to my former self is because there is no advice I could rightfully give him. The person I am today, truly inspired by the chance to educate myself and move forward in life, exists only because the decisions and actions I have taken in my past have lead me here. If I were to go back in time and alter the actions of my past self, I may in fact be accomplishing the alternative and be taking away from the one thing I really need in my life at the moment, which is the motivation to educate myself, better myself, and move myself towards an accomplishing future.

College has shown be life in an broader scope and set me on the path of deep soul searching. It might be true that going to college doesn't distinguish from the crowd as it use to but it is making me a better person.

Just have fun and make the best of the next four years because those years are going to determine where you go from there.

I would give my high school senior self the advice that boys are still the name, a couple of months does not change how they are. I would also say to be more outgoing and meet lots of new people. No matter what don't lie about who you are and don't change who you are. And lastly I would tell myself to not go to LaGrange College, because she would have to max out federal aid and take out private loans to pay for LaGrange College.

If I could go back and talk to my self as a high school senior, knowing what I know now about college life I would tell myself to be better prepared and to not expect everything to come so easy. I would also tell myself that I should work very hard but also have time to enjoy what is going on around me and not get so drowned in my work.

Hannah

I would tell myself that college is completely different from high school. I would tell myself to take more chances and go to more activities offered. I would reassure myself that I will find my own group of friends and that joining a sorority isn't that bad either. I would want my self as a senior to apply for more scholarships and encourage her not to get "seniorites". But most importantly I would stress that college is a place to have fun and discover who you are.

Rachel

I really wouldn't want to change anything. I think the experiences I've had and the challenges I've faced has helped make me the person I am today. I can go into a job interview and say yes I've been faced with that problem before and here is how I overcame it. Life is a journey best lived.
