Dear High School Senior Royce, College is a place that is full of activities and oppurtunities to define yourself. Take advantage of the clubs and activities that you can because they will help you meet new people and make great friends. Don't be afraid to express yourself for who you are. Please try hard your Senior year, even if you have already decided what school your going to attend because your grades do matter and your efforts will help develop great learning habits that can be taken into colleges. There are a lot of test in college! You need to study for them! Showing up on exam day with just basic knowledge retained from your attention in class will not cut it. You need to take time out of your schedule to prepare for these exams. Don't be afraid to talk to people, be yourself, yes some people will think your weird cause you are, but people will see your guineuine self and love you for who you are. Girls are more attractive in college so be more confident and hit the gym more buddy. Lastly, don't let anyone take your faith. God loves you for you.

I would open up to all the major there is in college to experience. As for me when i use to be in high school i wanted to be a accountant but then at the end i change my mind and study for parlegal after doing almost 2 years i change my major to Criminal Justice. If i would of prepare myself more and i would of go straight to the career i'm in right know i would of been done a while ago. If i would of just take a small break and think very good on what i really wanted to do for myself and would of explore some other type of classes. I see my myself in the correct place where i always wanted to be at for a while. The steps i'm doing know is takiing me to achieve my goals and my dream. I know what im doing now is prepare me for the real world. I would never give up on my dream on getting my education from college. To all the students thats are seniors you want to be someone and do something for yourself and be pround what u achieved.

I would tell myself that I need to stay in school and go to college while I am young. Don't wait until you are older and decide to go back after being away for so many years. It gets harder to be successful the older you get and it is even harder when you have a family to support. Commit to a profession that suits you and be successful in that profession. Don't go after the big bucks without securing a degree. An education can never be taken away from you.

Dear Medelia, I know that right now you are stressing about how college will be like and how your father will pay for it. Now that I have experienced a semester at your university I can tell you how it really is. People are nice once you get to know them, give them a chance before you think the worst of them. You will learn life lessons, whether it be about living with someone else or what to do in life, you will learn them over the course of time. Money is still stressful but you'll try anything in your power to be sucessful and go to the school of your dreams. Coming from a single parent home, some days are better than others when it comes to paying tuition payments but things will get better over time. Do not give up. You can do this without stressing yourself crazy. Your future college self.

My transition was first to the military, then to college. I would tell myself to be more patient and attentive. Also, I would tell myself to have more confidence in my abilities as a student. I would tell myself to help those less fortunate and not be caught up in the materialistic world that a lot of young people starting out live in. I would say to pay attention to detail, and to embrace everyday like it could be the last.

Jose, in the future you will be offered a great job. The money will be good and you will stop going to school because the tempation of making good money. Dont do it. You will be there for 8 years and then downsized. The key to your success is finishing your engineering degree. Your future daughters will count on you and with your degree and your potential, you will do great things. You will start a trend in your family and soon enough everyone around you will realized that education is the foundation to a great life. Study hard and get what you deserve.

First and foremost, Randy, don't take this first job for granted. You'll come in to more money than you'll know what to do with -- help mom out a bit, but save, save, save! Don't buy a new car. Buy a gently-used 3-year-old fuel-sipper that you can pay off inside a year. Don't let the present get in the way of your plans for the future. And so you know, "going with the flow" isn't a plan. Next, plan to go back to college. Go for something practical: computers or business are big. Art and architecture, while you might enjoy them and be good at them, they won't make things easier. Shoot for something you know you'll be good at from the start and worry about soft skills and hobbies later. Oh, and that cute blonde you meet in your first couple years of college: bad news.

If I could tell my freshman self one thing on the first day of college, it would be this: college is a privilege, embrace it. I remember thinking that college would be a liberating experience where I could do what I wanted and be who I was. I have since discovered that, while college can be that, it is not a magical portal to adulthood. There is freedom to decide what I do, where I go, and who I am, but that freedom is just the other side of responsibility. I have made friends that I will keep for life, and others who have already fallen by the wayside. I have made choices that have made me proud, and others that could have been better. The important thing is that everything I have done during college has been in the service of discovering my true self so that I can be the best version of him. Embracing the educational and experiential opportunities college has to offer, even when they are difficult, make the experience as rewarding as possible. I would tell my freshman self to appreciate the journey and use it to shape the path of future success and happiness.

Jazmine i know that you are having a hard time deciding what college to go to, or rather where to begin. I know you will make the right choices just take it one step at a time. It will be a bit scary and nerve wrecking, but you are not alone. there are many people who you can rely on to get you through the process; your parents are a big part of what is helping you make the transition. The first day of school is the most intimidating. After the akward introductions to people you don't know and getting used to the schedule, you will find that you actually will enjoy college and that all the stressing you are doing is for nothing.

I would tell myself, that there are no do-overs. I would tell myself to take every moment slowly, and do what is best for myself, not someone else. Never take anything for granted, and be myself and set my goals and remember to remind myself everyday that I can accomplish anything in my life, if I just try. I would also tell myself that never base anything that I do, on someone else's opinions, etc. I would remind myself that I can do anything, and can accomplish anything in life. Believing in myself is the most important thing in life, because no one can do it for you.
