I turned 18 years old yesterday. Any tips for adulthood?
Answer:
Do 'good' in all that you do. Be nice to everyone. Wait until you find your 'one and only one'. And BE PATIENT. Of course those are (except about the one and only one) the things your parents should have (and probably did) told to you when you were a child. Now you are an adult, and part of that is 'thinking you know everything' ... but as you age, you'll make some mistakes, even though you thought your decision for the best when you made it. Some of those mistakes you'll regret making. I can tell you that when you get older, if you can 'act like a kid' in public, and when you can see that if you changed any of those mistakes you wouldn't be where you are or with that 'special person' and suddenly even though they were 'bad' they turned out 'okay' in the end, then you'll be a 'true adult' ... and that may not happen until you are older. Don't worry, you have LOTS OF TIME, and ENJOY LIFE as you go. Take time to 'smell the roses' and to see the trees when you are walking in the woods. You'll get to where I am in the end, and hopefully you'll be like I am ... happy, and looking forward to more of what life has to offer ...
get a job.
Go buy porn and cigarettes, welcome to adulthood.
Happy Birthday.
You can go to college and get a job during college and then a better job after college and rent an apartment.
dont drink and drive
Just make sure that you make some goals and stick with them. It's easy to forget what goals you want to acchieve when there is nobody there to push you anymore.
Live life to the fullest, you only have one.
whatever you do NEVER loan anyone money
Go to college and pay attention. Then institute that learning into your life.
dont get knocked up!! everything else will come and go but the kid will be there forever!
when you are married, you can start pushin them out but wait, oh yes, WAIT!!
if yer fit get on the game you will make loads of money and also .. take no priseners.
Don't have sex unless you want AIDs or a baby.
go away to college! learn as much as you can. travel as much as you can. oh and only date "good guys".
get tested 4 std every months
My best words are, "enjoy life, and don't be afraid to try new things". If you have an opportunity to try something that you think might be ok, embrace it. You'll learn a lot about yourself and what you want out of life.
dont smoke
dont drink and drive
get a job
get used to disappointment.
Wait to have sex, don't wait to go to college or you'll never go/finish. What seems tough to accomplish at 18 is freakin impossible at 38. Do it all now, lay back any enjoy a lovely life when you're in your 30s and you have no regrets/worries.
go to college get a good job show people you can be sombody
Here's a big tip, you are not an adult yet. Just because you turned 18 doesn't make you an adult, I don't care what the State says. Get a job, learn to support yourself and manage your money and your life, and then, maybe, you will be an adult. Adulthood isn't about your birthdate, I know 40 year olds who aren't adults yet. Adulthood is about responsibility, learn it and you'll be OK.
Travel as much as you can. Don't rush to get out of college, they're the best years of your life. Party hard, but don't kill yourself. Experiment, but don't abuse. You're not old until you approach 30, so don't let those birthdays in your 20's depress you (aka "quarter-life crises"). Have fun, you're only young once! And at some point, figure out what you want to do with your life. Try to do this before you finish college; Internships are the best way to start a successful career. Good luck, and happy birthday!
Nobody is 100% right about anything!
Travel to other places (perspective is everything)
Find something you love to do and stick with it.
be open-minded with out compromising your beliefs(you'll learn alot more)
Listen!
Don't pass up an opportunity to have fun, ever!!
1. Save some money out of each paycheck and learn to invest it;
2. Don't get drunk in public;
3. Choose your friends wisely;
4. find work that you enjoy and work hard at it.
5. Don't get married until you're at least 26.
Don't buy porn and cigarettes! Be very careful, and wait until you are married to have children. I have been a mom since 16, and believe me you should wait! If you are ever looking for work, let me know. I do Internet training, and I know of some really good things you could do to start your life off. Good Luck! :) sabrinaflu@yahoo.com
Yes, follow your heart and you can't go wrong!
Don't piss off your parents...if you are still living in there home they can still instil rules on you...so if you can't live with that..move out.
the life is a teacher who gives you the practical lesson and then the theoretical lesson before ...so 'live your life' whitout any dogma!
pardon me for my english, i'm italian...good luck and happy birthday!!
Say your prayers, make a toast to yourself and think, "matured." Your an adult now, get use to it and all the best too you.
Forget about the past, focus on your future and never let anyone or anything stand in your way. Go to college, get your degree find your job that you want and pay your bills. Remember things happen, life isnt easy but as the saying goes "if it doesnt kill you it only make you stronger!" Always take responsibility for your actions.
Happy Birthday and welcome to the wonderful stage we call adulthood! Good Luck :)
Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. Use discretion when making decisions, exercise self-control. It's good to have fun, but unhealthy to do it every night. Get your work done first, then go out and have fun if you have time. Test EVERYTHING you are told, don't believe anything professors, teachers, professionals, friends, etc. tell you blindly. The truth upholds itself, don't believe it if there isn't good evidence backing it up. Always remember where you came from, and remember you don't have to go with the crowd or with what the majority of society thinks - have your own opinions. Don't get drunk and give the performer on stage at a bar or club a lap dance once you turn 21 (trust me, it happens). Lastly, make sure to preserve your heart, love people in a way that desire to see their best interests fulfilled, not necessarily their immediate desire. The most dangerous thing is to lose is your heart.
Life's a challenge, have fun, but don't do anything stupid that can jeopardized your future now that you're "legal." Pay attention to your decisions, especially life altering ones that you may regret later in life. Perhaps most importantly, never be too proud to accept help when you need it. Follow your heart.
Good luck, congrats and welcome to adulthood.
