Mine:

  1. Learn a second language and keep up with the language your parents speak. You will regret being a brat about not wanting to speak this language especially as your family members pass.
  2. The only opinions about you that really matter are from the people you respect and who respect you back
  3. Being a kind humble person, who leads their political convictions with curiosity and not self righteousness is important. As that one person said: "I am no hero and neither are you."
  4. Don't throw out your old media (mix cds, tapes, records, photos, zinee, etc) because you think they're embarrassing. They either will not be embarrassing later or they will become expensive and you can tell them for mad bucks.

Don't work too hard, don't worry about finding a job you love to do, love your life, be able do your work without it affecting you very much.

Don't listen to any politician, they are all liars, even the one you think is different.

Meet your neighbors, join a local group of any kind, find community in real life and proximal to you, not just online.

Don't listen to internet influences, they're all out to harm you.

Do crazy shit in your 20's. It's harder to do crazy shit when you're older.

To add to that (it's great advice BTW): when shit hits the fan, neighbours are usually more helpful than far away relatives.

Move around, date around, try new, weird things. Don't settle down yet. You can do that in your 30's, it'll be fine.

Enjoy the nightlife, it'll be harder to stay awake for it later, (though don't fool yourself into thinking fun and nightlife ends when you're 30)

Try different jobs, industries. Travel.
