Thought of another one. Spend more time with the grandparents. They won't be here forever, and they've been on this earth far longer. I learned a lot from them. Coulda learned a lot more

So true... I was very close to my Grandparents and learned a lot from them...
All having lived through the Depression were very frugal and unlike parents... had the time to answer endless questions from an inquisative kid.
My Grandfather and I had always planned to take a trip the summer of my 13th birthday to the where he grew up... it was something we had talked about for years... my parents said I needed to be 13 before I could go...
My Grandfather died the week of my 13th birthday...
College: You'll probably never have an opportunity like this again. Don't treat college like a vocational school...pursue an education that opens you up as a person, that challenges and excites you, that helps you learn not to be afraid to learn.
Employment: No job is forever, but eight hours a day is a big chunk of your life. And it's not all about the money.
You are not in high school anymore so before you start first professional job make sure you get along with everyone you work with because you never know where that may take you in career. Also always make you save money because you never when a layoff may happen so if it does you will have tons of money of bank.
1- stay in CA
2- don't go for your masters
3- I would have pointed myself away from research and into another field a lot longer ago and probably been in a better position now.
Career success and where you are in your 30s matters to people.
The BS and non-stop ladder climbing of the white collar world is something you want to circumvent at all costs (never have been able to) and making the right decisions and working hard in college and your early 20s makes it possible.

is that why so many women ask me if i like my job? lol
I would say take school seriously; don't be scare to take chances because it's your life and you must fight for it; get internships and get straight A's. Say No and walkout from any situation that you don't feel comfortable with; remember people do lie so don't take their word for it; just keep fighting for the life that you want because you do today will affect your future.
1. Figure out what you love and do it.
2. Save as much money as you can because the economy will suck and you'll get caught in a bad situation
3. If you want to be married, you better learn how to communicate with women, including but not limited to expressing your feelings.
4. Never buy a brand new car.
5. Learn to meditate or become more spiritual, as you'll need a way to stay positive and calm when times get tough. Family will not be there.
6. Count on nobody but yourself and never trust anyone 100%.
7. Learn how to fake being an extrovert because they're the successful ones professionally and personally.
8. Disregard #3 because no matter how perfect you try to be, no woman will ever stick by you.
