I would tell myself to save every penny that I could and to start buying stuff for college when it went on sale in the winter. Iwould start to try and prepare myself for moving into and living in a dorm. I would tell myself to prepare for long nights studying while dealing with other dorm residents being extremely loud.

I have learned that I should have went to college a long time ago. But better late than never. I also have learned I can do anything I put my mind to.

It has been valuable to attend to me because I have more confidence in myself knowing I have made it through the first semester.

Make sure you study and not assume that you know the information and that it's not like highschool were you can pass with little knowledge about the information. Don't be scared to ask for help or tell someone you don't understand. If you don't speak up you may never learn the stuff.

College life if exactly the opposite of high school. You have to grow up and be your own person now, instead of what everyone wants to define you as in high school. All the high school stuff ends at graduation-your done. At college, there's no mom to wake you up every morning and no one to go talk to your teacher about giving you a second chance. You have to be responsible for you.
