he is right, by going out and working you gain more information about the world and learn what not to get wrong

the key mentality is to realize you are in control and heading in the right direction rather than throwing a bitch hissy fit over what is happening

>>28448776
It's hard to say.
I'm 31 and I don't necessarily hate myself but I see in retrospect some of the things I did wrong. You kinda learn some things in life that you realize are distractions.

Honestly, playing video games, watching movies, chasing females, going to bars and taking drugs are all true distractions. They do absolutely nothing for anybody. But I honestly can't help but do all of it.

Second part is if you can avoid those distractions then you should work extremely hard doing something with your life. Have a hobby of some sorts, become amazing at something.

I have a good job, I make good money but I feel like I could do better. I have a chick but I could definitely have a better chick. I play video games when I should be outside doing something progressive and active.

don't get stuck in a rut. thats really it. as long as your making some kind of progress towards your goals then you're doing well. practice some hobbies and skills, learn some shit at skill, work part time for some extra money. u dont need to be mr successful productive chad man. when i was 18 i was basically a NEET who never got anything done. I went like half a year without talking to anyone, going outside, accomplishing anything, and it fucks up your mind. it makes you feel worthless and it becomes super difficult to dig yourself out of that depressive hole.

i managed to get myself mostly out of it just by doing small things every day. working out, practicing piano, getting good at video games instead of just eternally sucking at them, etc. i still have a ways to go but the point is that im trying every day and actually accomplishing things, even if theyre small

thats my advice, never let a day go by where u dont get at least one small thing done. whether its going for a run, reading a book for an hour, learning how to wavedash in smash bros melee, cleaning your room, etc. if u can get a good habit of daily goals together then you will be well on your way and you wont slip into depression

Most of the things I regret where from when I was 14-18 so I'm not sure I can help.

The only thing I can tell you with certainty is DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TAKE OUT A STUDENT LOAN.

if you can't afford a four year school on your own then work your way through community college and enter the workforce. Get work exp until your 24 then re enroll as an Independent student. The government will throw money at you to finish your degree and you'll have better job prospects because you'll have work experience.

Time is the most important thing there will be many things youll wish yiu had stared earlier like learning a language. Always consider your time like an investment will 500 hours of LoL ever leave a mark for anything?
>>
Your relationships are the most important thing in your life. I learned this the hard way. The earlier you start taking care of them and actively seeking out new ones, the easier it'll be.

The best thing you can do for yourself is improve your people skills. If you can, become a likeable, friendly, warm, caring person other people gravitate to. This is the best and to my knowledge only way for a human being to become happy. If you can't do that, then at least develop a number of close, strong bonds with good friends.
>>
>>28449808
If you see time as an investment, you won't enjoy life as much. If having fun is a waste of time, why would we live in the first place?

>what I did wrong

>didn't keep the first job I started on
started work as a waiter and tried working weekdays. mistake, and I should have only tried working weekends while in school.

>didn't get involved more in class
if you don't get something just fucking ask, I never did it and often times I ended up wasting time trying to learn on my own.

>get too focused on getting a gf
I spent about 3 years obsessed with one girl in HS. when another girl finally gave me attention in college I basically lost all my shit, and spent way too much time with her. learn to balance it out (goes for other things too like vidya, tv, etc).

>didn't understand anything about taxes, credit, or other finances
Sign up for a credit card (discover student is good starter), learn to do taxes and don't keep asking other people to help with it

>working on assignments last minute
I mean everyone does this, but really just keep track of time, and work on things for 1 hour out of a day and it'll be a lot easier to finish the day before

Fucking not doing anything productive until I was 21.

You feel like shit after spending years not working or going to school. Just fill your time with something, doesnt even have to be work or school. Just do something besides staying inside all day playing video games, watching anime, and occassionally going out with friends.

I disagree. If you're studying something lucrative or otherwise building marketable skills, the student loan isn't gonna mean too much if it means you'll graduate faster and easier.

True, but two things

1. Most people don't major in something lucretive. They go 'muh passion!' and study fucking anthropology.

2. Only half of college students graduate within 6 years anyway.

Success with student loans is dependent on OP not only majoring in something worth while, but sticking to actually graduate.

Top fucking kek. Minimum wage jobs teach you that working hard is a pointless and painful endeavor.

In most of these kind of jobs promotions are based only on seniority

Have at least half of your college tuition money right now?
If yes, get a good degree and you might meet some fellow robots.
If no, either join the armed forces, or get a stable part time job right now. If you keep living at home you shouldn't have more than $100 a month in expenses, so working 15 hours a week would give you enough money to play all the vidya you want in the remaining 143 hours in the week.

Get a proper education, but put some research into it before pulling the trigger. I went to art school without thinking too hard about my choice, and to this day I still regret that decision. Basically, don't go to post-secondary just for the sake of it. Consider what you want to do with your life after school, not just what you want to do while you're going to school. Many people go to university or college for fun and interesting subjects, hoping things will just magically work in their favor, but life just isn't that easy.

You've probably heard this all before, but I think it's worth mentioning. Or maybe I'm just a loser. Whatever. Do whatever the fuck you want dude, my opinion isn't worth shit anyways.

Not taking college seriously at first. I took a year of college right out of school and was settling for lower grades like a C. Then I just all together dropped out of college. A couple years later I decided to go back. Get a 4.0 every semester but my gpa is held down because I was fucking retarded when I was 18/19. If I had not been retarded and also stayed in school I'd have graduated by now.

You might want to think twice about dating a woman with serious health problems at your age.

It might fuck you up mentally because she'll likely want to be treated like she's totally normal, but objectively speaking she's not and you're going to have to make adjustments for her disabilities.

Meanwhile the whole of society doesn't give a shit about your relationship and is going to be breathing down your neck, expecting you to work really hard.

I'm not saying don't do it...but maybe you shouldn't do it.

This. Girls with physical or mental health problems are fucked
>physical - she will take out the stress her body gives her on you and you'll never know if you legitimately did something wrong or if its just her blood pressure or liver or whatever acting up again
>mental - self explanatory. Your whiteknight reflexes may push you toward damsel-in-distress types with ""depression"" or bipolar or something, but you'll wake up when you get fed up with her acting even more irrationally than a normal woman does, like when she gets withdrawn and irritable in the middle of a dinner you just paid $60 for or when she bangs Chad because you didn't reply to her 25 texts while you were at work
