7 important things that we would like to hear at the graduation, but found out much later

1. Carefully choose a future profession

Identify with the university, it is important to remember that the years of training - it is only a step to the future profession. And its relevance is not such an important criterion. After 10 years, things can change. It is therefore important to assess the prospects of the profession, the possibility of retraining or gaining new skills within the profession.

When choosing a profession, I think that it is interesting, because this you will then be engaged. You'll have to work very soon. Think about what skills you need, not what you can to prolong their childhood for another five years, even if they are a waste of time and money parents.

Look what taxation before to come. Do not spend so much time on boys, do not give up on travel or work because of them the same. More learn and do what you like.

2. But remember that everything can always change

If you miss with a choice of profession, the world did not collapse. In the end, only 27%Rostrud learned many Russians working in their specialty Russians working in their specialty, which received at the university. Others have found themselves in something else, and you can.

In his senior year, I doubt until the last, where to go, and very worried. I am preparing for the Faculty of Journalism and linguistics, and two months before the exam suddenly decided that I wanted to be an Orientalist, and abruptly began to teach history. I would be very helpful sleep better simply knowing: choosing the university, you do not have to choose their future profession. And just do not choose the whole future life.

You can quit or change university faculty in the third year. You can learn from every party and carried away or editing learn Python parallel with studies on philology. Now I know many such examples.

This is an important choice, but do not overestimate him. It will be many more moments when you can re-elect to go the other way, or start over. Everything will be OK. That's what I'd said to myself in the graduating class.

3. Start work as soon as possible

After high school joke about the fact that employers are looking for 25-year-old employees with ten years experience, will cease to be funny. So it is better to think about the portfolio of achievements in advance.

I would have wished myself to start work as soon as possible so that life does not beat in the head with a frying pan when you finish university with zero experience. To work in the summer. Do not listen to their parents when they say: "Learn now - it's the most important thing." And not to be an exemplary student, did not attend all lectures. Instead find any dvizhuhu, which may be related to your dream of who you want to be. Do not be afraid to call, imposed and ask stupid questions.

Learn. Even more. And give a value not estimated, and what remains in the mind. But love does not attach much importance to 20 years. Do not be afraid to assert itself, even if I have to sit in a puddle. Begin work, sports and travel as early as possible.

4. Watch your health

At 17, it seems that the time when the body begins to fail, would never come. You are cheerful, full of strength and energy. And even though the Ministry of Health saysRospotrebnadzor called the number of absolutely healthy children in RussiaThat among schoolchildren absolutely healthy only 12%, ailments hardly make themselves felt.

It will not always. Therefore it is better to start to take care of health before that it is too late.

I would say so. Come devour as many buns and sweet, or become a sugar addict. Do not be afraid to go abroad. Always choose ourselves and what is best for you in the short term. Do not smoke.

The main thing I'd said to myself, 17-year-old: think less about the future and move more. Success can be achieved, and a little later, and a sedentary lifestyle will have an effect not in 50, and in 25-27, markedly impaired a little life.

5. Do not be too hard to imagine

Maximalism peculiar to teenagers, but now need to approach any issue with exactly the amount of effort that it deserves.

In life there are marathons where you need to distribute the load evenly to reach the finish line. And there are sprints, where you are for a short time, apply the super-but be sure to rest and recover in between. It is important to learn to distinguish between sprints and marathons and set priorities so as not to lose nerve cells to waste: long life ahead, they are just more useful.

Great trip, do not think that the time to pass the session is more important than being able to see Baikal or take a sabbatical to live six months abroad, working as a waitress, - folly utter. Then you'll be sorry. Imbue feelings, find more opportunities and less take responsibility, which no one laid on you.

If I could go back in time and give yourself advice schoolgirls, they have been so:

1. Your life is not equal to the exam and will not end after the exam. I explain that in the 11th grade I was literally obsessed with the exams, which I had to pass just six. All posleuchebnoe time I spent at the tutor, and sometimes classes ended at 11pm. But I would not learn less - I would just calm myself and not so much worried. It seemed to me that if I do not pass the exam, you get into a bad high school and I was waiting for the unloved job, and a horrible life. I literally worked themselves into hysterics every night, imagining the most horrific scenarios. Now I know that even if my scores were lower on quality of life is unlikely to say, I would have gone to another university or start work earlier.
2. You should not be afraid that you no one will ever love. Another stupid childish fear that I do not find your other half, and just the person who will understand me. At the time, he has created a lot of systems and pretty spoiled blood. But after school I met her future husband. And by the way, if returned to the past, you would appreciate these relations even more.
3. Rest is as important as everything else. I always thought: the more I have time, so I'm better. Until then, until faced with a burnup of 21 years. I would advise all giperotvetstvennym students not to be afraid of free time and does not download it millions of things: relax as cool as in school, adults are not always out.
4. Prices friends. After a couple of years, they disperse to other cities. Yes, in general, all!
5. Put such ambitious goals as you can. At school, I thought, that my maximum - to be a teacher of the Russian language. I could not even imagine that I could get something out of what I have now, I just do not think about it, acted slowly worked a bunch of things, but it does not speculate on what result should lead my actions. It would be nice to fix it.

6. Do not be afraid to make mistakes

Search for yourself can be a lifetime, but right now it has a particularly long time and opportunities. If you do not try to break the boundaries, we will never know how much you can do. Not all attempts will be successful, and that's fine. But the risks are justified, can change your life forever.

I would advise himself less afraid, do more, be more confident to use the chance to look opportunities, do not waste time, do not regret the error is less than dig into yourself, spend more time in society. Do not go to journalism. Well still a lot of things. Although not sure this is something to be changed.

The older you get, the more you see of missed opportunities in the past. Now I would like to say to yourself, do not be afraid of difficulties and do not be afraid to make mistakes. The younger you are, the more stupid you can take without consequences, so you need to act and not be afraid to make a mistake.

Receive real skill is more important than knowledge in high school, so the score is not terrible to study and work. If you need education - it is always possible to get a sweat, but the experience is not so easy to buy. Well, even better to do and regret than not to do and still regret it.

7. Believe in yourself, you will do it

You can do much more than it seems. Everything is in your hands, and do not allow anyone to pull out at the wheel of his life. Good for you, and everything will be fine. But it will have to work hard.

Do not worry about ratings. Because of triples in algebra you will not have after school to collect bottles and to live under the bridge, it's all nonsense. But teach English, it do not you just come in handy. And yes, you will work on a specialty that we have received, count!

Do not let anyone tell you that you are no matter what is not capable. Capable, still as capable, then she will be surprised. Blank hassle embed health, so fasten them early. Remember that you sweetheart, no search.

Spend more time with loved ones. They go - and suddenly it painfullyBut people from all can handle. So you can do it.

Head Spoiler: plans - garbage, in fact it will be much better.

Do not come to pass literally nothing that you are now served with sauce "here you grow up - you will understand." You do not zarastosh dirt will not die of hunger. Your categorical surprisingly will attract people, not repel, and make life a lot easier, because it will not need to understand the sorts of shit.

Life is not broken off you, because the idea that you defend - is the right idea. And your inner strength will be enough to keep them loyal. You do not "speak in a different way", even when stolknoshsya setbacks that could bend. You will rise.

And yet you do not you will start to have everything. And get married, even if you "like this" squeeze cloth. Because the world is full of appropriate people - also should be aware of this, even when it seems that mankind is doomed.

And you would be advised that currently, if you could go back in time and meet yourself, walking with a ribbon, "The Graduate"?
