If you could travel back in time...

<p>what would you tell yourself in your junior year of high school?</p>

<p>try harder?
try less?</p>

<p>Avoid applying or thinking about attending a state university. Get research experience. Prepare to apply to medium-sized private universities. Don't worry about ECs too much. Being in a few activities is OK... it's so much more important to get good marks and scores instead of being an above average student with a mega-list of ECs. I would've also told myself to take a lighter courseload --- I did beyond the APs/honors/whatever offered at my school and my GPA took a slight hit with that.</p>

<p>Don't slackoff on finals</p>

<p>Have fun and smell the roses.</p>

<p>And don't slack off. Period.
You can sleep when you're dead.</p>

<p>looking back i wouldnt do any more or less than i did last year. i know i didnt work as hard as a could have and let myself get away with a C in honors spanish and an 89.4 in physics. even though it sucks, who cares because i got into a couple of very good colleges already and killing myself over school wouldnt have been worth it.</p>

<p>Do better...apply to UVA...dont **** off my parents as much...study spanish no matter how much i hated it...</p>

<p>Wow. That's a pretty clever statement. I shall absorb it into my way of life.</p>

<p>Don't f*** s*** up.</p>

<p>don't go on cc</p>

<p>Tiberius, you've never heard that before??? It's clever, but mishka didn't oin the phrase. </p>

<p>I would tell myself to work harder in Spanish because I WILL use it again and that it won't kill me to at least TRY to read for lit (the problem was that Oedipus and the Illiad are so f***ing hard to understand, so I gave up and ended up with a C all year) because it is worth the effort.</p>

<p>Have more fun.</p>

<p>I'm alive now, so I wouldn't go back in time and tell myself anything.</p>

<p>Might **** things up.</p>

<p>I would first tell myself that in 2006, George Mason will make the Final Four in College Basketball. Then I will tell myself to have as much fun as possible, because as long as I bet $100 on George Mason in March 2006, I'll be set for life.</p>

<p>skip class, you're going to art school. drop out of IB.</p>

<p>oh yes ---</p>

<p>i also would've told myself to drop out of HS and attend college early through certain programs... that is, if i had gotten accepted to XYZ vprogram...</p>

<p>Stop worrying about being a loser, you'll eventually find your way and friends just like you. And you'll lose weight eventually too.</p>

<p>Don't let mom being a hoverer so much, it gets annoying real fast.</p>

<ol>
<li>Camp out for a PS3 and flip it on ebay.</li>
<li>More women, partying, illicit substances, etc. :p.</li>
<li>Study trig/ad. math once or twice a month for a few minutes, then you wouldn't have a B- >_<.</li>
</ol>

<p>to actually take all the AP tests and pass them. i didnt realize how much of an effect it had in college. i just figured "a little credits, big deal".</p>

<p>getting pregnant wont help things either.</p>

<p>I would have taken wood shop instead of computers (an elective that was a waste of time, I will NEVER program in JAVA outside of that class and it wasn't taught well at all) and would have done better in physics than a 90.0000000000. Yeah, that was cutting it close.</p>
