Dear senior self, You have no idea of the positive impact college will have on your life. It will open up so many doors for you and allow you to learn about both yourself and the curriculum. The important thing is to not get so caught up in good grades, but to fall in love with learning. Once you do this, things will come much easier and each new course will be a quest to immerse yourself in the material. You won't love every teacher you get, but the ones who turn out to be your favorites will be those that challenge you in a different way than you were in high school. You will find out their are social issues and causes out there that you care about, but had never heard of before college. Remember to take every chance you get, even at the things you may not be good at. You're young and now is a great time to take advantage of the awaiting invaluable opportunities. College is a time to find yourself and your calling and remember the positive changes you'll be equipped to make once you earn that degree!
