1. The strippers aren't really paying for college.
2. Pay more attention in high school. The knowledge isn't super important, but it's the last time people will teach you anything for free.
3. Everyone is dumb and uncomfortable, it really doesn't matter what they think. Plus, half of them wind up working in telemarketing or the service industry and renting houses well into their thirties.

ETA: 2 sucks if I'm 18, so...

Of all the dudes that paid all the money to major in what you want to do only one of them actually makes it. The rest have $120,000 in student loans and shitty jobs.

1. Pussy is a double edged sword. There ain't nothing better than pussy but it'll also obliterate your GPA.

2. Graduate in 4~5 years. You'll suffer if you graduate in your mid-late 20's.

3. Major in medical field, whether it's MD, DDS, DO, PA, Pharmacist, Optometrist, RN, PT or whatever. It'll pay off in the end. Healthcare in the US is a massive ripoff for consumers, but if you're in the industry you are guaranteed a 6 figure salary, job security, great benefits, etc. Pretty much any other field (lawyer and accountant for example) it's an infinite competition.

OI just wondering I have a lot saved for a first house purchase but haven't decided what to do yet.


catfan apparently had a bad experience. There's nothing wrong with FHA. My first home was FHA-financed. No problems.

Sadly, I know men older than me who still fall prey.

I had a friend who did buy low on Ford. He wishes he had the balls to throw in more money when he bought it.

While it would be easy to tell my 18 year old self what to invest in, it seems my time travel would be better used telling my 18 year old self how to enjoy life.

Money isnt everything.

39 year old self knows this.

1. That thing that bugs you about your potential spouse? She's on her best behavior and it will be 10x worse when you're married. (This works both ways, by the way.)
2. See #1.

1. Spend more time with Dad. That was his last year.
2. Go to med school instead of X-ray. You will regret not doing it your whole life.
3. Save more, spend less

1) Find a way to play football in high school and see where it takes you.

2) Yes work out, but don't stop working out and keep the appetite after. It'll make you fat.

3) Dont watch so much porn when you get older. I know it's rough, but your marriage will be better for it in the long run.

Go to law school
Move to CA, buy a house as soon as possible and then sell it in the early 2000's, move to Texas, pay cash for Texas house.
Travel more while single.

1. Save money.

2. Don't worry about expensive clothes/cars, just work out more and eat better.

3. Quit smoking/dipping, etc otherwise you will do it until you are in your 30s.

This was only 4 years ago but it still applies.

1. Study you idiot.
2. Go find new friends.
3. Pause and appreciate life every now and again.

1. Rotate your golf grip to one oclock with both v's pointing at your right shoulder.

2. Take the soccer scholarship instead of the track and play the sport you love, you can always go back to grad school to become an Aggie.

3. There's a gal named ***** **********, she lives in *******, **. She is your soulmate, go find her and tell her this. She will not think you're crazy. But wait five years till you finish school and travel the world.

1. Always hold on to who you are when you're with someone else. If he doesn't make you want to be the best person you can be, he's not worth it.

2. Spend more time with your brother and more importantly less time fighting over stupid shite. He won't always be there.

3. Stay at the youth shelter. In two months a full time position will open up and it's the kind of position you'll want to retire from.
