I would talk to random campus students when visiting to see how they feel about the professors and staff as a whole because it is important to your success as a student. I would also ask myself these questions: What is the success rate for graduation at this college? Is the college so large that I will never be anything more than a student ID number? Is this the College I want to go to or am I being pressuredto attend here by friends, family, or financial reasons? Honestly, why do I want to go to this college and can this college adeqautely prepareme for my future?

First, accept that we aren't on this earth for the sole purpose of being the most successful, richest, smartest, or the most well known; our lives are about caring for others, lifting others up, and leading others to be successful in thier lives. Second, ignore all the counselors that try to lead you to the high-income careers. Find something that you can feel good about your self all of your life. Money will not, will not, will not make you happy. You will only be truly happy when you feel love, not just love for a spouse, but love for all. Realize that all people are equal; no one, absolutely no one is more important to this world than anyone else. Arrogance of being better the others will ruin your life. Third, God created our bodies, you need to never forget this, and take care of it. Drinking , drugs, or an overweight body will do you no good. Final and formost: love yourself and know that God loves you no matter what you did in the past, and He'll always be with you, no matter what.

Man will stumble and pull me down with him, but God alone will pick me up and teach me to help others up in the process. Also that the Bible has all the wisdom and comfort that I long for. Look deeper than simply the cover.

The advice I would give myself is to place a higher priority on my secondary education. I would tell myself to embrace the college experience and my education by fostering friendships with fellow classmates and focusing on putting my best foot forward.

I should give serious thought to planning a two year at home online study and saving up some money before lpursuing a chosen degree path.

I would say to learn to get more involved on campus with school events and student government.

It is important to study and prepare for tests as well as schedule in plenty of time for homework and assignments but balance your time. This means you need to make sure to not spend all of your time studying so that you lose out on the support you need from others, but also do not spend so much time with friends having fun that your grades suffer. Life is a balancing act but do not worry about this because God will work all things for good. College is great preparation for life and learning more about how to handle the stressful times and having great joy during the good and the bad. Enjoy these years. Laugh more, frown less, and allow God to use every class and every late night studying, to mold you into the amazing person He already thinks you are.
