Insights
If I could redo high school, I would take more dual enrollment classes, such as Early College and Running Start. These credits transfer and count as credits toward basic prerequisite classes at most colleges and universities. They save you a lot of time and money, and it frees up your schedule in college. Also, I would definitely look for more scholarships during my senior year in order to cover the cost college.

Other Advice/Information
Don't be afraid to get outside of your comfort zone while you're still in high school. It's the last time you'll have all that freedom and space to explore what you want before college starts. Make those memories and make them count. In regards to college, join the clubs that really interest you and that you feel like you'll be able to put the time into. College is about quality, not quantity, in all aspects.
