I would tell myself to value time, money, and above all, people. I would advise myself not to waste a single moment or dollar, but never hesitate to spend time or money on the people I love. I would also remind myself how important it is to live by decisions and not by feelings. I would encourage the younger me to stick with his guns even when he didn't feel like it.I would advise myself to be fearless in experiencing new things and new people. Oh, and I would tell myself to watch One Tree Hill every Monday. My current girlfriend watches that show every week, and I tried to watch it with her the other day and had no clue what was going on, haha!

If I could go back and time talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself that the transition from high school to college is not as hard as people try to make it seem. You really just have to prepare your self for a change and and take responsibility and manage your time accordinally.

i would tell my self to not take high school as a joke because the things you learn there can help you in the long run in college . also make sure you develope good studying techniques.

I would tell myself to take online classes offered, as a PSEO student because there were no college credit classes offered at my highschool, it could have saved me alot of time and money upon arriving at college. I also would have told myself to look into nursing schools around the state to know what I needed for credits before attending Mankato.

Some advice that I would give myself would be to not bring my life!!! I brought so much with me. And I live in Illinois so it's an 8 hour drive and I can't just bring things home on the weekend easily. So when my mom came to pick me up for winter break I had to pack the car with a whole bunch of stuff that I shouldn't have brought. It was such a pain. And to bring a pair of slippers! I never wore slippers before, but now I wear them everywhere. A lot of things are in the same building and slippers are easy and comfy. Also to bring a fan because it gets really stuffy and hot in a tiny room you have to share with someone and your roommate might not like to have the window open..mine didn't. So I would sweat to death.Bring a water filter and a nice metal waterbottle. I wasted so much money my first semester on bottled water! I remember being a senior and freaking out about going to college. But really, its not much different except you have a lot of independence!ENJOY!

continue education and do not stop. Find out what is it that you really really really want to do and enjoy doing it, go for it perevere and make it happen.

College is not all about studying and getting the grades. It is also about making a lifetime of memories, creating life long friends, and expieriencing things that you have never exprienced before. Life is short, so work hard and have fun. Classes are not that much harder than high school and you do not need to be nervous for them and they can even be fun!

Well the very first thing i would tell myself is to work harder at getting scholorships because i didnt get any money for scholorships for the fall term and paying for college ran me broke. I would tell myself to start looking for a job right now because at this point in time it is basically impossible to get a job for i have put a application in litterally everywhere and only could get a seasonal job which is now over with. I would also like to be able to go back and tell myself that if i wanna play college basketball that i am the only person who is going to get me into playing because my good for nothing coach doesnt help me at all and that if i dont go out and get schools to watch me myself i will not be playing college ball and that i will miss it a ton. And last but not least i would tell myself that if i do not take college seriously and buckle down and study as hard as i can and go into civil engineering instead of electrical engineering or else i will fail my first semester.

I would start by saying that college is not as scary and overwhelming as it may seem or as other people may describe it to be. I would tell myself to just be yourself because others will love you, professors will care and you will find where you will be going in the future. College is all about making decisions on your own. It is okay to make the wrong decision as long as you learn from them. Decisions help you learn how to handle any curve ball that life throws at you. Make positive decisions to study and have fun so you have memories later in life. The final point I would tell myself is that you can achieve anything as long as you put your mind to it. Having the right attitude is important for success in college as well as in life. All the hard work will pay off in the end. All the habits you develop in college with studying, interacting and communicating with people, time management, and establishing your attitude will all be habits you carry with you throughout the rest of your life. Make them the best habits possible and HAVE FUN!
