Don’t compare yourself to others, especially as you get older and people hit milestones at different times.

School DOES matter, and studying/paying attention even when it’s hard will be good in the long run. Even if it’s your last degree.

Save money, learn how to budget, and learn the basics of investing. In the US your best bet at financial security later in life will be saving/investing early.

Remember that people on the internet are full of batshit crazy ideas that don’t actually make sense in the real world. Remember to “touch grass” if you will.

Sex is fun, always have consent, use a condom and if it breaks go with the girl to get planB. There shouldn’t be shame about it but be safe and have honest communication with your partner. Remember that the only sex that’s 100% safe is sex with yourself (the nofap guys are gonna jump at that but tbh most people don’t need to stop masturbating unless it’s harmful to your actual life)

OP, this is genius advice. I take my comment back, read this first and believe it.

Also: be attentive to what usernames and email handles you go with

Lol yeah I guess I should add: don’t make a dumb username in college because you think its “edgy.” You may accidentally end up getting a lot of karma on that account and making the perfect home page that for some reason you can’t replicate on your alt account 🙃🙃

School matters in the sense that it’s important to try and learn as much as you can and build your social skills too. But don’t get hung up on grades or failing a test or two. No one will care or even remember it later on, just try to learn and have a good time too

YES ALL.of.this!! I would only add to spend time learning who you are and what you want. Like go to a park and spend time just with your own thoughts once in a while. Few things will serve you better later in life than knowing who you are and how to communicate what you want or need.
