If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would stress the importance of having a serious major in mind upon entering college and using my time wisely to prepare for it. Beginning your postsecondary education at a community college is a relatively inexpensive way to start working towards a degree, and because of this, it is also easier to remain "undecided" or change majors frequently and end up wasting time and money on classes not required for the major you really want to pursue. It is important to follow a plan so you don't end up regretting having randomly taken some classes unrelated to your major when you really should've taken the ones you need which would have meant graduating sooner. Another bit of advice I would share is: make the most of your classes! Learning the subjects is one thing, but fostering new personal and professional relationships with peers and professors is another important part of the college experience. Not only do you come away from your classes with newfound knowledge, but you also gain valuable networking and social skills that might come in handy in the future!

Hey Zoua, I know life in high school is tough. It's easy to get caught up in your emotions, being so young and such. I know how important it might seem to you to spend time with friends and prioritze school success behind many other things. The sad truth is that all those things you may consider to be very important, they are all going to go away once you go off to college. Trust me, they are not going to matter. Do you remember all those things the teachers and counselors always say? They always tell you high school students to study hard, get good grades, do volunteer work, and participate in clubs. Well, believe me, they are right. If you do just that, you will be on your way to having a very successful education, life, and everything else. In college, you meet new people and make new friends who may truly be part of your life, for a very long time. So hold your head up high and keep your focus. Books are always the way to go!

I would tell myslef to not be so anxious about being on my own as an adult. That once you leave school and need to work to support yourself, its really hard to come back. Stay at home as long as you can and finish your college while you have someone willing to support you in food and shelter (your parents) because you will never have that opportunity again. There will always be jobs and income. The "real world" is always gonna be there waiting, do what you can now, take advantage of the opportunities now, so later you can BETTER support yourself and not need to fight and struggle to straddle work and school.

The truth is only this: You have not only the right, but also the responsibility as the artist that you will become to carve your own path, to pave your own road. The journey is long but the rewards are great. It will take you some time to achieve what you desire, time to hone even what that desire truly is, but know that each experience builds on the one before it. In each disparaging moment when you feel like throwing in the towel, in each defeat, there contains the seed for that moment of awe and beauty that you desire. It is when you are most down and out, and unable to move forward, that you find that wonder and beauty are right beside you, you just had to be willing to see it. Keep drawing. Keep looking. Keep moving. Paint as much as you can.

Upon going back in time and talking to myself as a senior in high school, I would have quite a few things to say! However, there are three things that would be the most important. The first being, do not give up activities you love. I quit horseback riding for a number of years and missed it regrettably. Pastimes and hobbies are what keep us sane through times of stress and new situations. Secondly, explore new subjects and areas of study. I stuck to what I liked and knew after highschool: art, writing, and philosophy. It took me several years to take the environmental biology class that sparked my interest for sustainability and urban development. I was finally able to combine my love of art, math, and culture to find a path I really care about. Lastly I would say, finding yourself takes time. I would remind myself that not everyone knows what they want to pursue or accomplish. Discovering oneself is a lifelong process, and having an open mind and being patient with the frustrations and obstacles that come with it will be pleasantly rewarding.

If I can go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself high school is a priority as a kid and college is a choice. I would also tell myself to search scholarships or any type of money that can help for school. Coming from a family that has low income is hard to pay for school, so please take any EOPS programs, financial aid, grants, book vouchers, etc it will be extremely helpful! College is really expensive now that I know; books, gas, parking, tuition. Know what you want career wise and find the right school match for you while attending community college for the first year after graduating. Work only part-time when attending college because it may get difficult at times depending how many units and what classes your gonna take. TUTORING! definitely take advantage of that because it will really help you with your classes, because passing classes is a must! You certainly do not want failing grades showing up on your transcript! It does not look good when transfering to 4-year universities. Please tell all of your senior friends to take all this into consideration!

As an adult student now, if I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would insist that I change how was living. As a teenager I did not have education as a priority. I understand now how everything in my life has been delayed because I did not focus on getting a college education.

I would tell my senior high self to follow your instincts and take a leap. If you don't take that leap now, you might not get the chance to later. I would tell myself to take that leap, get into art school, even if it doesn't pan out, even if it costs tons of money. I would tell myself to never lose hope or doubt yourself, because life is too short and too amazing to give up on. That would be the only thing I would tell my past self.

well to be honest i wouldnt tell myself anything because everything happens for a reason. and you live and you learn so there is nothing i would change while i was in highschool as of now because i wouldnt noe where i would be headin if i changed anything back then.
