study harder, dont let yourself become lazy, and enjoy like i am enjoying every minute of your life

I have thought about this often recently. I'm entering my 8th semester in the spring, and there is a lot I wish I knew in the spring of 2007. I would tell myself that no matter what, focus on school. Friends have come and gone, but your education has remained. Your family will love you no matter what. You know what you're doing, don't make dumb decisions, and come out of this thing alive. Make sure you save some time everyday for yourself. Don't get too caught up and stressed out over design reviews, as it will all turn out just fine. Also, fork out any extra money you have on fruits and vegetables. There's no more football practice every morning to keep you in shape. Develop a little more self-discipline, but have fun. Time flies!

Don't even think about dropping out.

The advice I would give myself is to not worry about college since it is better than high school. I would also tell myself to pay more attention in my math classes.

research every schools alumni relations since that will tell you the kind of graduates and education offered by the school.

Finding the right college is like finding the right shoe. It has to fit a person, not the person fit it, and it has to reflect that person's identity. An advice for parents and/or students that I would give is to find his or her's interest not just his or her determined major, but also what he or she like to surround herself with that enhances his or her own identity and focus on achieving goals; whether it may be the direct communication with the professor in a small college or the drive to be noticed in a large university. Of course, it is not just finding the right shoe but what path a student takes with that shoe. College experience is an accumalation of studying wisley, vacations of laughter with loyal friends, and sacrifices in life in order to develop a better one for the future. An advice that I will greatly give to any parent or student in making the most of his or her college experience is to be true to yourself. Be true to yourself of who you are now and who you will be in the future.

Do a lot of research, apply for scholarships asap, apply to many schools, and do well on your ACT and SAT.

I would say that you need to decide upon a school that offers the best of whatever it is that you want to major in. You shouldnt go to a college just because your friends are or that its near home.

Make sure you research all of your options. Moreover, it is not the end of the world if you are not accepted to the college of your first choice, you can always transfer there at a later date. Most importantly you need to be honest with yourself about what your ultimate goal(s) and needs are; so that you are able to find the best college suited to help you succeed in achiveing your goal(s)!

Weigh the odds and make a choice while considering as many factors as you can; and always have a backup plan. Don't wait for things to happen, plan them out in advance, and try to avoid taking classes you don't need.
