Save your money
Get and stay healthy and active
While you're young and figuring out HS/College, take your time to decide your career path. What you think you want to do coming out of high school may not be what you want by the time you finish college.
Don't ever change your plans for a woman. If your goal is to live in mom's basement until you get your masters so you don't come out of school in debt, stick with it. Some girl will convince you to get a place with her, and the next thing you know you're working 40hrs + a week at a job you hate just to pay the bills and you dropped out of grad school 3 years ago... Oh, and she left you for her spin instructor.
Stay out of debt. Bills don't go away, no matter how long you ignore them. A bad credit score takes 7 years to clear off your record, and in that 7 years, you probably haven't been able to build up credit elsewhere, so at the end of 7 years, you don't have bad credit, you have NO credit, which is just as bad.
Don't lose sight of the things you enjoy and are passionate about, just make sure your life is balanced and there's room for other things. If you play ball on the weekends, don't stop, just cause you got wifed up or something. If she knows early that it's part of your routine she'll get used to it and shouldn't expect you to give it up.
Save your money.
Strap it up. Can't stress this enough, I've seen too many friends going through hardships because they have a child with someone they absolutely hate. That bitter ex with the fat @#$ you run into drunk one night in the club doesn't want you to move on and have a happy life without her. She'll get you to smash and impregnate her not because she wants you back, but because she doesn't want you or the woman you end up with to ever NOT have to deal with her.
Also, bustin raw lasts a few seconds... Herpes is forever...
No matter how much you hate a job, do a good job. If you want to be able to move on from it, you want it to be a good reference, not a bad one.
Don't lend money out to someone you know isn't gonna pay you back. If you really want to help them, and they ask to borrow money, do it if you can consider it a gift. I can think of maybe 2 people I've let borrow money that actually paid me back.
Do what makes you happy, but seriously consider if it's going to make you happy 10, 15, 20 years from now.
When she suggests getting a place together, and tries to say that you guys will be able to smash every day at any time of day to convince you, she's full of !@#$% I can promise you once you move in, you'll be smashing less than before. They're not as excited to get it in when they know you live there and they can do it whenever they want, so it gets pushed to the back-burner.
Take care of your health. Go to the doctor and the dentist regularly. While you're young, you can neglect things like this for a while without it seeming like anything is wrong, but there could be long term damage that will be more painful and more expensive to deal with later on down the line. Eating right and exercising helps but you should know where you stand. In my case, I eat right and exercise 5 times a week but I have somewhat high cholesterol (stuff like that is hereditary) I wouldn't know that without an annual physical.
That's it for now.
