There are many things about college life and how to transtion into college life that I would like to tell myself as a high school senior. As a high school senior I was already a hard worker but sometimes I would bite more than I could chew. Since I am known to do this I would stress myself out even more which would make me lose my concentration on somethings. So overall the main points I would tell myself is to make sure the workload that I choose is something I am able to achieve with my 100 percent focus. I would also tell myself to make sure I practice more on my anayltical skills while in class because this will help me more on my work in college. The last thing I would tell myself is to get prepared for long nights of studying and making sure I understand the material I learn while in college. Those are some of the tips I would give myself about college as a high school senior.

If I could go in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would congratule myself for the hard work I have done and I would just recommend myself to mentally prepare, be open to opportunities and change, try to get involved more in activities and look for as many scholarships as possible. I also think that organization is very important, but I knew that by that time. I think the most important think would be to enjoy the time in college and just have fun and really think possitive. Everything that happens in colleges just enhances life and it makes you grow as a person, but more importantly helps you get a better life in the future because it will help you to get the job you desire.

i would have probably made a better choice of college and had probably tried to really find somethnigwhich could have been my pasion. I have found my passio in life but now its too late. I am too old and i fell that i am behind and i need to catch up asap. I am a proud pilot.

Now that you have graduated from high school no more baby sitting. It is time to get serious. You are going to have a lot more time on your hands you must grow up and learn to manage that time. You need to reexamine your priorities if you want to make it through.

I would have given myself the advice of become a faster reader, and a better student. ?College isn?t a joke? I would say to myself, and show myself how much studying I would need to do if I slack off. ?Start college in the summer if you can? would be another thing, since the first thing I did after getting out of high school was getting a job, so that I could pay for the first semester, but luckily I could pass by the first semester with my dad?s little help and financial aid. Even though I don?t regret any of what I have done until now, certain things would have speeded up my current life in college. ?Practice your English more often with your friends? would be another really good advice I would give myself, since I struggled a lot in the first semester because of the really tough literature books, and the fast phase lecture from the PhD teachers. ?A lot of hard studying will pay off, you?ll see.?

If I could go back in time I would tell myself "bad habits are hard to break!" Don't waste time putting things off to later, because procrastination is like an infectious disease that keeps getting worse if left untouched. Keep your priorities straight, because college life is way different from high school. Your going to be taking on a whole lot more responsibilities, so get ready for life to smack you across the face because there is no going back. Just don't let it scare you too much to where you just want to quit, because eventually your always going to go back and regret it. Just get it over with and finish as soon as possible.

So many times, I heard that college was nothing compared to high school. I did not believe this my first semester, I believed it to be pretty decent. This is now my third semester in college now I realize how difficult it is to study and complete assignments. I am about to complete my basic and are taking pre-core classes eventhough these are the classes that I have long awaited for, they are difficult. If I were granted the opportunity to go back in time and and talk to myself as a high school senior, I will tell myself, "listen to your teachers, they already completed their college, experience, I am only about to begin. Do not slack off in class, do not complain if something is to difficult to understand, take advantage of these classes being smaller and your professor being able to answer your questions. In college classe are huge! There will be no time to ask questions in class and for them to slow down, there is a curriculum to complete. Pay no attention to your high school buddies, they will not be there to help you out in college, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!

I'd tell myself not to rush so much into making a career decision. Simply because, there's more options availabe than you can imagine. This way you don't get involved in something you're not interested in and years later regret it because you felt you had to pick something that was practical. To put it frankly, I'd tell myself to think clearly about what it is you're really passionate about it because it took me years to figure it out when it was so clearly in front of my face the whole time, but I just never realized it due to the fact that I let others opinions and decisions affect my life.

If I were a high school senior I would have looked more in depth at what major I would declare. By having a more precise idea, I would not have taken a class that I did not need, saving money and time.
