What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

Wow ! If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, the advice I would give myself would be to slow down, be patient and most definitely train myself in better study habits and ask questions. I have been out of high school only two years and it has flown by. Slowing down and being patient goes hand in hand. When you reach 9th grade, you say: man, if I could only be a Senior....then the Sophomore year comes and again, only two more years and "I'm out of this place"; then, in the blink of an eye, you're walking down that aisle with your cap and gown with your classmates and you wonder how those four high school years passed so quickly. But, the most important advice I would give myself would be to "hit the books" !!! I know now that college is a different world and I wish that I had spent more of my free time reading, studying or getting together with study groups. Note to self as a senior - study, slow down and be patient and ask a ton of questions.

I would tell myself to relax and that everything will work out how it is suppose to. I would also encourage myself to continue making good grades and that they really do pay off.
