Take AP classes and get the highest GPA possible.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior the first thing I would tell myself is to take more AP courses, and take full advantage of the opportunity to do so. If I would have taken more AP courses in high school, as opposed to the one that I took, I would have had many of my general education courses out of the way and been able to take more of the courses I actually enjoy. Additionally, I would tell myself to take full advantage of the extremely short time I will have at college. I regret not being more involved on campus and meeting more people. Although I have met many amazing people at school I wish I had not been such a hermit. I always told myself I had plenty of time to go out and meet people, but I spent a lot of time alone in my room. Now that I am almost graduated I have come to realize this was the best time of my life and I have wasted much of it.

If I knew what I know about college when I was a senior I would make sure I know how to study really good when it comes to tests, make note cards for studying because they are really helpful. Take my time and don't rush and stress myself. Just relax and pray and let God take in control.

Going back in time I would make sure to tell myself that it can be lonely at college. So often going through the day your friends schedules don't align so there is often time where you have no one immmediately to go and spend time with. Be confident in yourself and know that you can do this. Finances are going to be tough in college, but you have to truly learn how to trust in God so that even when it comes down to needing a couple thousand to make the next payment, you will still know that God is a God who can and will provide in His timing and His means. Now, this might mean that it takes you scraping what you can together and doing what you can to make ends meet. Get in Exercise! After playing soccer through high school and then getting up to college and doing no exercise, you really will learn what the Freshmen 15 is all about! Stay active and eat healthy! It can be done in college!. And enjoy it!! College is awesome and such a great experience!

I would tell myself that, while there are advantages and disadvantages to every decision that I can make, I need to remember one important point.: God is in control. I know that you will be debating whether you should go to college or not, and that the choice is not going to come quickly or easily. Do not worry about the timing; God is in control. You can choose to take some time off from school, and God can use that time. Or you can go immediately, and God can use that time as well. Let all your time be in God's hands, and you cannot go wrong. If you choose to wait, you will miss certain people and certain events. Don't regret that time, but be thankful for the things you do during that time and for the opportunities you will have later. You can plan your course, but God directs your steps. You will meet whom God wants you to meet. He will make all your appointments, so don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry for itself, sufficient for the day is it's own troubles.

Be open and just let the Lord change you; don't be stubborn and try to do things your way.

Stephen

Looking back now and the financial stuggles I'm facing, I would have saved more of my income from my high school jobs.

Andrew

If I were able to go back in time and talk to myself as a hightschool senior, I would give myself one piece of advice. This advice would have saved time, money, and headaches. Simply put, I would tell myself to research the CLEP test process at Liberty University. Being able to Clep out of all of the required courses would have been very convenient. I would have been able to accelerate my degree program by a year. This would have allowed me the financial freedom to consider moving on to biggern and better things in my life including getting married. I am currently a senior and I still have yet another semester to go. I would love to be done with my degree and married to my highschool sweetheart.
