The advice that I will give myself is to take my time and pick a school that provides a great education and that is affordable. You need to know what you are getting yourself into as you pick a school that is out- of- state. Choose a major that will make you happy and not others because in the long run it's you who have to do the work. Marquine' make a decision that you will not regret.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to focus more on education and less on popularity.

College , the transitioning phase between high school and the path in which one will take for the remainder of their lives. The things that I have learned within my 3 years of undergrad education as first time college student, are lessons that I wish someone would have warned me about. If possible for me to return to 2009, before graduating high school, I would have taught myself to budget and save more funds, place more emphasis on standardized test, i.e. ACT and SAT, and lastly become more involved. During your college years, funds are of importance, being that work should be on the back burner of education. The ACT and ST determine the amount of money you recieve through aid, and lastly the envolvement. College is designated to finding yourself, this is impossible if you don't experience the full effects and benefits of college. I put forth my best and will graduate within 3 years, but things could have went alot smoother if these 3 facts were not circling in my mind.

If I were to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would start off by telling myself that college is a different ball game. It is nothing like high school. In college, I get to make new friends, and be active around campus. I should choose to go to college for the right reasons, and not the wrong reasons. Yes, college is expensive, but it is a life changing experience. College is also the experience to learn to be independent, learning to save money, and also help to understand who I am as a person and to develop myself to become a better and successful person. College tends to get diffucult, but it is very rewarding in the end. Parties and other off capmus activies are fun to attend, but I should focus on the main reason i am in college, and that's to get an education.

Work harder, Apply for more scholarships and Learn to study and organize before college.

Knowing what I know now about college, the advice that I would give myself would be to get involved, take advantage of every educational opportunity given to you, if you can not find it, ask someone about it, practice on improving your study habits, do all work in advance, and to get to know your professors and people in office. Being involved will help you to network amongst your peers and develop communication skills. Taking advantage of educational opportunities such as honor societies, chances to get extra credit points, and styudying abroad. With this, you never know what positive things you would come across in the process, you probably will meet someone whi can help you succeed in the field that you are trying to go in. Studying can be the hard part in school especially if you have poor habits. Start early on with studying material because when the time comes for a test, it will be a breeze. Also, pay attention in every class you take, even if you feel it has nothing to do with your major because you never know if it may come up again in the future or what you will benefit from it.

well, only if that were true to happen, but if I was given that opportunity I would have went to the school of my choice and that would have been Vanderbilt University, only reason in which I could not attend is that I could not afford to pay for tuition. A good I could give myself at the time was first go to a community college for two years and then transfer to a university, first off I would have saved more money.
