1. Go to class. When I learned this trick in my later college career, it made life so much easier.

2. Crazy girls are often fun and surprisingly spontaneous in the sack, but long-term, they're a nightmare. Stay away. Far away. Run.

3. Save more. I got on track, but I started later than I should have.

I was extremely fortunate not to make any mistakes from which I could not recover, but I came close.

Stay out of the bars. Use the money saved to invest. And I’d provide stocks and timing.

Don’t change anything. It’s been hard getting here and hard to stay. You’ll be rewarded.

Start lifting and eating more protein now instead of beer and bar food.

Stonk tips.

Move to the Coast immediately after graduation.

Stop telling yourself that you'll "figure it out later" and make the necessary changes now that your future self will thank you for.

Honestly, I had a phenomenal college experience. Yeah, I did some dumb shite and had terrible taste in women, but I wouldn’t change a damn thing.

That experience made me who I am today.
