Best advice for high school seniors
1. College is fun but also requires work.
Sure, you
may get to party as much as you would like because mom and dad aren’t around.
Sure, you may get the chance to sleep in as long as you want without your
parents banging on the door to wake you up. Nonetheless, the truth is that for
you to succeed in college, you are going to have to step up your responsibility
game than when you were at home. College can be fun, but you will have to stay
on task and remember why you went to school in the first place-to learn.
2. You’ll lose some and gain some: Talking about friends.
Something
you will learn in college is that you are going to make friends and lose
friends. It is very important to know your self-worth; how valuable you are and
how uniquely crafted you are. Everyone has something about them to bring to the
table so don’t get bent over when you lose friends. Do understand that some
people are in your life for a reason and short period to help you one way or
another. If people show you who they are don’t try to hide it or deny what you
are being shown (especially if it deters you from your life goals). Make wise
friends, friends that will hold you accountable, help you grow and can push and
encourage you when you are down.

3. Build and strengthen your character.
At least
for some, college is a molding ground. A place where you mold your academic
skills, your interpersonal skills and your character. Use the opportunity to
pay attention in class and study so you can better yourself for tomorrow.
College may be for most where they get to interact with so many different
people that unless you are constantly building your character anything could
distract who you really are. There’s the saying, “If you don’t stand for
something you will fall for anything.” While in college utilize that time
wisely and still have fun and enjoy yourself.
4. Practice reading books outside what is taught in class.
When I
was in college I had a professor tell me a student who can take his or her
brain to venture past what is being taught in class, has the potential to
succeed stay ahead. Doing this builds your brain muscle and allows your mind to
become creative and in this world now being creative is very important.
