What advices would you give to an 18-year old?

Dramatized

Legend
As the title states, all you "old" TI'ers, if you could re-make the decisions you did as an 18ish-year old, what would that be? The tips and advices could range between ANYTHING, lol. Could be related to school, friends, work, family, health, traveling, etc, etc -- the sky's the limit!

The reason behind why I'm asking this is because I recently turned 18, and I would love some stories, tips or anything similar as some kind of "guidance", lmao.

So ask yourselves, which of my early adult life-decisions were good, and which ones do I regret.

Thank you in advance.
 
As a 20 year old, i'm still in the same boat. I can say these:
- Don't waste your time with partners that did not work out the first time lol.

- Don't waste time choosing what you want to do post-secondary education.

- Don't make hasty decisions such as moving out. I've been living on my own since 18 and it has had it's brutal moments lol.

- Take up every opportunity to escape this game lol. I'm traumatized at the amount of time wasted on this game instead of going out with friends.

I really cannot stress the not wasting time part enough. These are supposed to be your wonder years. Make them count.
 
Don't drink and drive
Don't do drugs
Don't give up.


All you really need to know in this world.
 
do not ask for life advice on a website where most of the people on it play computer games all day. and if you make it to 5000 posts as an 18 year old with his whole life to live, you probably have a problem.

But, but according to your profile you post on these forums 5 times a day and its the same for Dramatized. Do you also have a problem?

who cares, 5 posts a day can take a short amount of time. it's also projecting that posting on forums is for losers/isn't fun.

If you aren't having fun and just going through the motions in computer games and posting, then you should stop and do something else. But there's people like reckful (popular streamer) who clearly have a great time playing WoW many hours a day and socializing and laughing it up while also having motivation to be good at the game. And that is very respectable. Life is all about having fun and being happy, just do what makes you happy and what motivates your life. Don't just go through the motions, enjoy the moment!

I would tell you to just keep an open mind about the world you're about to experience. Just don't do stupid things you know will get you in trouble like drugs, underage drinking etc, don't get a record because that will screw you up big time, and if you choose not to go to school, invest your time in learning new skills/trades that others may not have, that way, you'll be able to stand out in the job market, which is a pretty good thing in today's economy.

Oh yeah, and don't smoke. It causes lung cancer and other breathing-related issues. Smoking is bad, Mmmkay?
