I would have save more money for college. Because it is a great thing to have an education. With the working world you have to have an education to be great at your job. An education allows you to advance in the job world.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior. Knowing what I know now about college life and making the transition, what advice would I give myself? The advice that I would give myself would be, never give up. Never count on anyone else to make you succeed but yourself. You are your way, only you can make progress in your life and most importantly. Rome wasn't built in one day, meaning you cannot expect greatness without patience. In conclusion I would say try, try and try again and when you fail keep trying because no one will try for you.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would have told myself to appreciate every learning experience that is given to me. I would have told myself to study a little harder and start learning time management skills. I also would have told myself to go out and experience different careers and volunteer opportunities to find my passion and discover what I love and like and who I am as a student, leader, and person. I would have told myself to start saving money and try to practice saving money and spending it wisely. Overall, I transitioned very well, but the time management is something that I would have tried to learn and master before I came into college.

If I could go back to my senior year which wasn't very long ago, I wouldn't have stressed so much about the vocational aptitude tests that were given to us to determine our career of interests and the courses to take to further that occupation. Once I reached college and began studying what I thought were my goals, I realized that I might not like that occupation and therefore, my education should have been concerned with getting a good education and concentrating on good study habits. The first two years in college are still to early to decide on a career and should be devoted to getting a broad based general education which will have benefits no matter what my specific career choice will be.

If I went back in time I would tell myself that it's okay to apply to a four year college in California. I would say stop wasting your time and do what you need to do to get into APU. You don't have to go to community college just because mom and dad want you to, they will get over it. Take your ACT's it's really going to matter. I would tell myself just not to hold back and accept the fact that you are graduating and high school is almost over.

As my feet reunite with this familiar pavement, I am reminded of the many memories I left here at high school. It's lunch break, and I know exactly where I'll be. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors mill around the campus, unknowing of their future. As I stride quickly towards the outdoor picnic table, I see her. A high school senior that isn't lucky enough to have a half day because she wanted to take one more year of Spanish. As I seat myself next to her, I realize how much she doesn't know, and how much I yearn to tell her. "Everyone is telling you it's okay to be undecided on your major, but I know you really want to figure it out. Go with what you love, Danika! Don't mold yourself into 'the counselor' or 'the doctor'. You are a passionate singer, and you love to write. Focus on that. You enjoy learning, so don't be down and out about going to a community college. You will get a great education there with professors that can and will change your life. Stop worrying about the future and just live the life you love."

As a high-school-slacker and current college student, I have seen first-hand the opprotunities lost to me for my own sheer laziness. If I could go back in time a talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself about the importance of GREAT, not mediocre, grade point average. I would tell about my experiences, how I still wish that I spent more time studying and less time "goofing off". I would tell myself to not be in such a hurry to get out of class every day, to stop and ask questions if I have them. I would tell myself the importance of actually learning material, and how frustrating and difficult re-learning information that you should have already learned can be, especially in a largely self-teaching student environment. And, finally, and most importantly, that you only get one shot at high school, one shot that follows you for the rest of you academic career. And, while social events are important, one has to balance said events and one's school work, in order to be successful. Even if it seems inconvenient to 'hit the books' instead of study, study!
