its not too late to give up on life until your 30. always do your best in college. dont do drugs, booze, and porn. relationships arent everything, just make sure you have close friends to hang out with.

Hard one. I can't think of any advice to make life better. I guess I haven't learn much since I was 20, 22 years ago. But some thoughts:

- hang onto friends, even if you want to die. It gets much harder to make good friends as you get older. And dying is fucking hard.
- keep working on your skills. It all adds up. And as they say, use it or lose it.

I'm in my 40s now. I would tell myself that all those things that mattered so much and caused upset in my 20s won't bother you when you're older. They will mean nothing and with that comes freedom.

Save 10% of your income, always. Don't sacrifice who you are for someone else. Think long term, the future will be here sooner than you imagine. Partners aren't so important in your 20's, but your skills are. Only make time for good people who are worth it. Trust and listen to those who know you best. Stay busy and give yourself less time to think.

Fuck life, dont listen to anybody, live YOUR life the way YOU want but also be smart enough to weigh every decision and fully commit to outcome and accept your decisions' responsibilities.

DO NOT HAVE KIDS! Mines have fuked up my life and the main reason I want to ctb! Or if you have kids, take your time, get married and that doesn't guarantee great children but it's a better chance than a boyfriend or a 1 nighter 😒

Don't let people take advantage of you.

Other people's emotions are their problem not yours.

Use a condom.

Say no when you want to say no.
