I am sure if my future self could talk to me today he would have quiet a few highly valuable pieces of advice to share with me today.  Although it is impossible to know for sure  what i would tell myself it is fairly easy to make a few general assumptions.  I know if me a year from now could talk to me now I would be telling myself to take things easy but stay focused on my schoolwork because I am sure I would not mind a little higher GPA.  If me 5-10 years in the future could talk to me now i think he would tell me to enjoy myself because I miss my college years and they will be some of the best years of my life.  I would also tell myself to look forward to what is ahead of me and to work hard to get were I want to be at that point in my life.  Again, its impossible for sure to know what I would tell myself.  For all I know I might tell myself to drop out of college and do something drastic.  Or maybe I would tell myself to live it up now because the future doesn't look to bright.  However, I think future me and present me would probably have very similar.   I probably would tell myself the best investment you can make is an investment in yourself.  So far I have put a lot of my hard earned money into my education and by the end of this year that will have been upwards of twenty thousand dollars.  And by the time I get my degree that number could reach over sixty thousand dollars.  I hope that all this work now and that I have to complete in the near future is worth it.  I am not sure if  will have more fun in the future than I am now.  But life is not all about fun.  For me, being able to pay for my children's college and having a steady income coming from a job I enjoy is a little more rewarding than "fun" in most cases.  However a little fun never did any harm to anyone.
