If I went back in time I would tell myself, Melyssa read more in highschool. Much that you learned in highschool will come up again in college. Read more and study. I would also tell myself to major in sociology versus political science it is way more intresting.

When I was a senior in high school, I was accepted into George Washington University, and no one could have been more excited to get in than I was. That is probably why I was so devestated when I learned that there was no way I could afford to attend my dream school. I decided to stay home in an effort to avoid outrageous debts until graduate school, and it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. If I could go back in time and give my overly-worried, senior self some advice, I would tell myself it does not matter where I go; college is what I make it. It is all about my attitude, my willingness to become involved, and the effort I put in to succeed. I can have just as much fun as I imagine I would have had at GWU anywhere without the impossible price tag, and I now have the added bonus of my family's support. I realize now that I do not need a big name school to make a big name for myself. My future depends not on my college location but rests entirely on myself.

As a High School senior, I would now tell myself to value each day. Although I had an amazing high school experience, I couldn’t wait to leave. All I wanted was to get out of the High School stereotypes and drama but retrospectively it was an amazing experience. Value friendships and treat them like treasures. A true friend is worth a million dollars, and keeping those bonds is a lifetime of value. Minutes seem like hours in high school but as soon as you walk out of those doors, hours turn into seconds. Time flies after leaving high school so create all of the memories you can hold on too long after you graduate.

Although I have yet to finish my college experience, all that I have seen and gone through so far is very reassuring. I have to admit that I grow more and more in love with my experience as time goes by. The people I've met are wonderful, not to mention they're in college as well and do not slack off like those back in high school. I feel like I belong to a place in which people that want to be at school are actually at school learning, and not just there to be there. The College life has been so free, and yet has given me so much more responsibility. I feel that with this responsibility, it molds me more into the person that I want to become with the career I have in mind for the future-A Pharmacist. It has taught me time management, and taught me better study habits. I'm now more social and willing to venture out of my comfort zone. All of this has come my way this first semester of college and I cannot wait to see what else College life has in store for me.

Everyday, different Television shows and movies are created about various experiences some people have gone through in college. Well, let me tell you one thing. Most of those TV shows and movies are not even close to what I have experienced in college so far.Yes, there are parties and social gatherings, but this definitely does not sum up the real experience in college. College is where you experience how to be an adult, and where every decision you make can affect your life in ways you cannot even imagine. This is how it was for me. It was stressful, but definitely worth it. Everyday, I learn different things that helps me take a leap into adulthood and into my future. I'm glad that I chose to attend and be a part of something that will defy the rest of my life.

I am being prepared to enter this field of work by studying agricultural business and the many ways that farms operate. I want to utilize my time in college to learn as much as I can about this field of study. I have these ambitions because I want to influence the farming community and make a difference because I hold outstanding values, skills, and ethics that provide me with the will to learn and perform to the best of my ability. I want to recreate the incredible experience that I’ve had in the agricultural program for future individuals. I want to give people the opportunity to have the same knowledge and skills that I have attained.

I am learning a lot of skill for be prepare for the future.

I have attended many universities since I started my college career and each one has taught me something different. I learned from Arizona the independence of being a college student is hard work and takes so much discpline. As high school students we have teachers, parents, and administators telling us to stay on task and actually helping us prioritize. Being student at Weber State I experienced how time management is very important to the success of ones college college career, especially student-athletes. Now at UNLV i am realizing that all work and no social life can be just just as bad to ones college, as all fun and no work. Every place has brought something new and different to my college experience but in the end the key is to success is having balance in ones social and educational life.
