If i were able to go by i would tel myself to stop dreaming and its more real then i thought. I would tell myself to study more, read more, be better prepared mentally because i wasn't in the right state of mind when i started school.

If I had the opportunity to go back in time and talk to my highscool self, after having attended two years of college, I would tell myself to relax a little bit more, and spend a bit more time socializing. Although I feel I had a good social life, I put alot of emphasis on getting into a good school. The effort did of course pay off, as I was accepted to an even better University than I am enrolled in now, however this one offers all that I had expected, and was my first choice. I would tell my highschool self, also, to defend the fact that I am a commuter, as I often feel Im looked down upon by my peers for this. Not only is it a strategical move to save my family money, it is up to me to get involved in the school community. While it is custom for commuters to sometimes feel underinvolved, I think that I may have subconsciously listened to myself in the past, for I am now much more involved than my highschool senior self, and I am trying jut as hard to get good grades.

I would tell myself to not be worried. Going across the country for college made me nervous, not about the course work but about my social life. I didn't have any friends coming with me and the worst part was everyone, else did. I was woried I wouldn't make friends. If I could go back, I would tell myself to just be myself because I will meet plenty of friends who love me for me. Also, I would tell myself to never doubt going through sorority recruitment. Although it was a very nerve-wrecking process, it was one of the best decisions I have made. It has opened up so many opportunities, especially leadership roles. One of the most important advice I would give, however, is don't skip classes and don't get stuck in the mindset that classes are optional since there is no attendance. Luckily, I got out of that mindset early, but I know a lot of friends who couldn't and no longer go to school because their grades were to low. Lastly, I would tell myself to enjoy these next four years and don't take them for granted!!

I would advise myself to not be nervous about living on-campus. Living away from my parents was, by far, my greatest fear about going to college. When I applied to the University of Connecticut, I agonized over whether to live on campus or whether to attend UConn's regional campus in Waterbury, Connecticut, so that I could continue to live at home with my parents. I had never lived on campus before, so I was afraid of the prospect of living alone, without my parents for support. The only reason I ended up living on campus is because my father pushed me into doing so. But now I realize that there is nothing to be afraid of. Yes, college is a new and sometimes overwhelming experience for freshmen, but you get used to it. The important thing to remember is that other people are in the same situation as you are. It also helps that UConn is not that far away from home, so I can go homw whenver I want to. In terms of academics, do not worry about the heavier workload in college. If you apply yourself, you will succeed, just as you did in high school.

Go to school, take it seriously, and STUDY. There will be plenty of time to have fun AFTER finishing college.

I would tell that girl that she needed to get ready to sit down and study hard in order to succeed in school. I would also tell her how hard it is to be a mom of 2 small kids going back to school full time along with all of Life's other complications and surprises. I would explain that she should study very hard and do very well, so she didnt have to do it all over again in 12 years.There is no value that I can place on finishing school when you are very young and things arent so complicated that would be enough. I would plead with that naive young girl to get focused now, so her life would be easier later. Hopefully she would listen.

Breathe. Approach the process calmy and as early as you can. Sign up for your classes now or at least select them and know what you want. Make sure you know which pre-requisites each class requires and schedule them accordingly! Again, start the process early so you are not as stressed out, especially when you notice classes are filling up at an unimaginable speed! It is very likely that you do not know what you want your major to be. That's okay. You have freshman year to evaluate how you are doing in the gen-ed classes, and maybe the clubs you've signed up for (hint hint) may give you more insight on what you want to lean toward as a major. Once you reach Sophomore year, you should narrow in on the major you want so you can begin taking the necessary introductory classes. Remember, consult advisors for which classes to take and also how and when to schedule them. Now, remember to breathe. Responsibility for your own future seems to have cranked up 5 notches at once, and maybe anxiety as well! So make sure to seek help, and the transition will be much smoother!

There are many things I would have whispered to myself as a highschool senior if I had known the things I know now as a college freshman. When looking back, in highschool, I wish I had participated in more career-based opportunities so that way I would be on a clear path when entering college. Also, I would have told myself not to worry. I spent a lot of my summer worrying about what college would be like and being severely anxious for the future. I wish I could have just known that college really wouldn't be that bad and that I would get through it and actually find myself enjoying it. Also, I would have began working and saving up for college not knowing how much it would actually end up costing with books, lab coats, etc. Also, I would tell myself that the second I got to school make sure I was involved in everything I could be and to be outgoing and nice to anyone because the friends you meet at the beginning of school are most likely the ones you will have.

Kelcie, your four years at college are going to be some of the best years of your life. You will look back on them, rehashing everything you experienced, the good and the bad, and wish you could visit that part of your life again. Here are some things you need to remember, though, in order to make the best of your college experience: 1. Take care of yourself. It won't hurt to get a little exercise every day, or drink a little more water and a little less beer. 2. Take advantage of every opportunity available to you, whether it be an invitation to coffee with a friend, or a chance to live in Itality for four months. You will rarely get those opportunities again after college. 3. Continue to do the things you love and don't waste time on the things that make you miserable. Keep sight of your goals and remember why you are there in the first place. 4. Have fun! You are young, away from home, and free to be who you are. It is important to work hard and succeed, but even more important to enjoy life and the precious time we have.
