First off take your education VERY serouisly and study hard!! take a few AP classses because if you test a 3 or higher for most of the AP test you get the college credit and save money!!! when I came into college I had 6 credit hours already counted for just from taking AP WORLD HISTORY!!!!
Also College tends to be more chill than highschool in my opinion easier ( unles you went to a sorry highschool) so work hard while in highschool get your working habits straight and college will be one hell of an enjoyable breese, get that high GPA in college ( especially in engineering) and watch how easy it is to get an internship!!!!!!!!

I'm glad I took the hardest classes and worked by #$$ off my Junior year because I suffered (as most of my classmates) from senioritis most of my senior year. Wait... did I actually go to classes my senior year???
I'm glad I got a part time job when I was a junior and by the time I graduated, had a nice bank balance for college. I don't regret having to turn my friends down to go out and spend money on trivial things like eating out. Even when they tried to make me feel guilty for not going.
Glad I took college classes during the summer before my senior year because I was much less nervous about going off to college than my friends because I had already attended the school, knew the campus and the town.
I don't regret not going to my senior prom. I went my Jr year and that was enough for me. Instead I worked and saved my money.
I still regret not playing a sport my senior year, I wanted to, but my father would not let me. If i had it to do over again, I wouldn't ask him... but do it anyway!!!

i regretted that i didn't took my studies well.. our professor doesn't discuss the lesson properly cause he always say that "you already took that up in highschool so i dont need to teach you that anymore" i was like omg, i don't know all of those in highschool... almost all of the lessons being discussed in highschool will come out in college so better listen well so that you'll have stock knowledge...
what i also regretted most is that i made a habit of always being late at school and now im in my first year at college, it's really hard to change.. =(

WOW... not to procrastinate and to get a head of the eight ball because it does kick you in the butt in college if you dont! Talk to schools find out where you want to go! Look at what career you want to have not degree!!! if you have a problem address it then!! Stay away from boyfriend/girlfriends that drama in high school! There is more out there! 7billion people in the world!!! He/She is not the only one! I am glad that I played sports! I should of taken the ACT more than one time! the best thing is ASK questions!!

Yeah. Take AP and DE classes and do well on the tests so you get credit for them. You start off so much easier. College is not that big a step from senior year either. It isn't that tough of an academic transition at all. Have fun in high school and don't sweat it too much.

I regret that I graduated mid-term. I had to take Chemistry and Algebra in college because I had only one semester in high school. If I had not graduated mid-term , I would have had a whole year of Chemistry and a whole year of Algebra. They were much harder in college. Make sure you take all the classes in high school that you can that will be required in your college course. Check with the college or your counselor at school. It is much better to take what ever classes you can in high school that are required in college, because they are much harder in college. Also, if you take all the classes you can in high school that are required for your college major you can take that many more classes in college and finish that much faster.
Enjoy college. I really liked going to college. It was a lot more fun and I learned a lot more than when I was in high school.

study hard throughout high school so when your junior year arrives you can take your SAT's in the spring then send out your college apps. in the early fall.......there is nothing worse then all your diligent friends getting there letters in Dec. Jan and Feb from there first second and third choices and your still looking at the mail box praying for one yes out of three apps. on a lighter note have a little fun these years are over too soon :)

I kinda had the best of both worlds I was in the middle, I got along with everybody the populars and the not so populars and all that feel in between. The bad thing about it was I was a serious social butterfly and it took away from my studies. If I could change anything at all about high school it would be my study habits.

I wish I would have went to the prom... lol but enough about me... High school does not prepare you for college at ALL!!! Just make sure that u have good time management when you go to college, it's so easy when u get used to it

I'm glad I had no girlfriend coming out of high school. Now I can enjoy my college years being single and meeting new girls that are way hotter than the dumb ones who didn't graduate and got pregnant with their unemployed bfs.
