Start Preparing for College in High School


-Margin note
-Learn HOW to study- focus for long periods of time and what methods of studying work for you?
develop time management skills 
-discover your interests- make a list of the things you DON'T like. you are already half way to declaring a mjoy
-write a resume
-... And be prepared to revise that resume. Two weeks into college and I have already submitted two totally different resumes. I applied for a student government position along with a job teaching dance. Obviously the two are not looking for the same qualifications so I created a dance resume in addition to my traditional resume. This can be helpful in highlighting the experience you have specifically related to the position you are applying for. 
-develop healthy habits. you will definitely develop unhealthy habits in college, i dont care who you are. Let these new ones be your only unhealthy habits, not just addition to your old ones
- don't skip class! it's way more tempting to do so in college. if you are already missing a lot in high school you are bound to skip in college when there is no nagging parent. Remember, you grades in college are directly related to your class attendance. Somehow that gets looked over.
-learn about your relationship with God. when you get to college you want to jump right in making friends in religious groups.
