If I could back in time to talk to myself as a high school senior, I would offer only a few key points of advice. The first being that studying is a necessity. Make sure you know how to study and be sure to review class notes and the textbook often as this tends to make studying easier. The second point would be apply for more scholarships. You didn't win any of the ones you applied for, therefore, apply for more. We need that money, Past Self, keep at it. That's all the advice for now, good luck.

If I could go back in time to my senior year I would tell my self to keep doing the best I can and not to stop working as hard as possible throughout the year. I would also take senior seriously and do all of my work to the best ability that I can. I also would do more college visits to look at what school would be best for me. I would look more into study abroad. I would make the best of my senior year and go to more events while making sure all of my work gets done.

If I could go back in time and speak to myself as a high school senior the main advice I would give myself would be to stay focused on my school work no matter what. It is a major transition going from high school to college and your grades and school work must be your first priority. College is also completely different from high school; everything is entirely up to you. For example, in high school your attendance is required and your teachers are constantly reminding you about missing work, but that?s not how it is in college. You are responsible for your actions such as attending class and making sure all of your work is done on time. I would make sure to tell myself to always do the best I can and to prepare myself as much as possible for college because it is a lot more difficult then what you experience in high school. Also, always keep in mind that everything you do in high school and college will reflect on your future so it is very important to try and set a goal for yourself for what you want your future to be.

Oh, what I would do to be atop of my high school once again with the knowledge I currently hold from my University. While one year usually does not transform a student on such a level, my transition from high school senior to college freshman has been a great learning experience for me. Along with that, my maturity as a student and as a young man has been greatly changed for the better. Upon having the opportunity to talk to myself as a senior in high school, there is plenty of useful advice I could offer myself. First, work hard. Nothing is as rewarding as hard work paying off in return as a good grade. Second, I would tell myself to relax and stay focused on why I am a student. Stress got to me a lot senior yet as I anticipated ?the college life.? Lastly, I would tell my senior self of how wonderful the freedom is in college. It has made my life in school meaningful and purposeful. As a senior in high school I felt ready for my next big step in life: college. As a freshman college student, I already anticipate my future as a professional.

First off I would say to myself to keep doing what I'm doing. I've always been able to manage myself and make friends easily. The only thing I never considered was that I would have to live with strangers. I am sort of a messy person in my room but I can no longer be because I now have to share a small space with two other people. I would also tell myself to do everything possible to stay ahead. Once you are behind in a class its next to impossible to catch up. You only have class 1-2 times a week instead of everyday like in highschool. It's a tough transition, but keep your head high and in the right direction and you should be fine.

From my experience today with the college life and making the transition, there is a lot of advice I would give myself as a high school senior. One main piece of advice I would tell myself would be to begin looking for scholarships as soon as possible. It may seem like there is plenty of time to complete applications, but before you know it, there will be no time. All it takes is a little motivation and time, because there are plenty of scholarships out there, you just have to look. Another piece of advice I would give myself is not to procrastinate. All this brings is more trouble, stress, and pressure of time. Procrastination is a bad habit that is not going to do you any good in college, so you might as well get rid of the habit while you still have the chance. One last piece of advice I would give myself is to learrn how to manage time wisely, which is a key in college. Time management will be the main determinant of whether or not you will be successful in college. Take these wise pieces of advice and college will be a breeze.

If I were to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to stop worrying because college is better then high school in so many ways. There is not as much drama, cliques or bullies. I would also tell myself that the work load is ALOT more, however there is more time to get the work done. Since class is only twice a week it gave me more time to complete it. I would also tell myself how independent I would have to become more so in college then high school. Once I went to college I felt like I was thrown into the real world way too fast. Having thousands of dollars in loans that I would have to borrow and having the stress and pressure of paying for tuition is very hard to handle for any teenager. I would tell myself thatt going to college is going to be very difficult but so worth it after the friends I make, the things I learn and most of all the degree I get in the end of it all.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself to start to study now because your grades will be based on nothing but your test scores. I would also tell myself to buy a lot of food before going to college because I will get tired of the food at the dinning hall and start manging my time, so that college will run smoothly

If I could go back in time and speak to myself as a high school senior I would make sure to teach myself how to study. I realized that my usual looking at a book being able to grasp certain information and pass tests in high school is not going to work in college. I would go back and ask myself if where I am now is where I want to be because now that I am in school I am not completely sure if it is right place. People aren't always going to like you and you have to get used to it. No matter what stage you are in life no matter how old you think others are people are going to choose not to like you. It is your decision of how you choose to deal with that information. Whether you decide to take that information and run with ignoring the immaturity of others or use that information to build your own hatred towards them. I would share how great it is being away from home. College is only as difficult as you make it take your time and master it, enjoy it, and remember it.
