If I were to have the chance to talk to myself during my senior year I would want to teach myself the best way to study. I have never been a person who studies before a test, but during my first year of college i have learned to balance my studing so that i don't have to study all night before a test. Another thing that i would want to tell myself is not to be so afraid. When i stated school i was afraid of what my teachers would be like and if my classmates would accept me. I would tell myself that everyting is going to be just fine and that the other people there would be just as afraid as me with all the same worries.

I would say, "Brianna Kay be ready to study!! College is not like highschool, you have to study for your tests if you expect to get good grades. Oh and will you please save some of your money, your car is going to break down twice and you need a reliable vehicle for you and your son! Remember to work hard and keep that positive attitude!!! One more thing, try to get scholarships, do not rule yourself out simply because you are a single parent, and your GPA is not the highest. Do more volunteering and help others when they need it (trust me it will make you feel better after that bad grade on your COM test.) You will do great! Oh and if you do not save money you are going to be living on raman noodles :~) haha! " Please take my advice I know you are stubborn, Love Brianna Kay

I would tell myself, to relax. Do not stress out as much and don't sweat the small things. Your senior year should be the best year of your high school career as well as the most important. Study hard but also take the time out to have fun and enjoy life. Apply for scholorships often and consider going out on your own next year and moving away from home. But most important of all take time out for yourself and get more sleep then a couple of hours because you're studying all night. Enjoy your senior year and know that you will be accepted to more universities than one.

I hated high school so I would probably tell myself how much different college is than high school. I would tell myself that I would like college and actually find it interesting. I waited 20 years after I graduated high school to attend college and I absolutely love it. It is nothing like high school was. I wish I would have gone to college straight out of high school, but if I would have I probably would have chosen a different career and a different school. I would also advise myself to take courses that I would enjoy as a way of finding out what a suitable career choice is . I discovered my talents for writing and drawing when taking college courses. I would also be sure to tell myself that 4 years of college won't seem as long as 4 years of high school, because you're choosing your own path. I would also emphasize the fact that attending college will have a huge impact on your life, economically, socially, and emotionally. College will allow you to discover things within yourself you didn't know existed. You would be depriving yourself if you didn't go.

Looking back to my life as a senior, I would tell myself to prepare myself to better studying habits. So, when I get to college I would have a betterunderstanding of what it takes to work hard and study for tests correctly instead of craming the day before a test.
