• You are responsible for your life and for the life of people around you! Make a list of things that you would like to have/do 10 years from now. And then try tracing back what would you have to do to actually get there. Like literally do that on paper right now!
  • Now is the time for you to push and create your base wealth. As soon as you have comfortable wealth, then you can pick and choose what you do next.
  • Make every day at least a tiny bit better than the day before.
  • If you enjoy programming and you are more interested in things than people, then CS degree may be a good match. Especially if you learn how to think effectively. Do little freelancer work during this time to earn some money.
  • Get better at social skills. It's like learning new programming language - you first need to find the best resources (youtube videos, books...), mentors or examples and then try it in practice over a bunch of years.
  • Whatever you do, push yourself to be the best at it. Otherwise you will get bored.
  • Travel! You can learn so much from traveling and talking to people. You can also save money - just catch a train and go east - do Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Croatia.
  • With university you will still have time to party, meet with new friends, etc - do that, have beers and have fun! Try doing many things with other students and your friends. Help others!
  • Try killing the things from your day that actually waste your time - don't watch too many TV shows (pick carefully), or spend long days on twitter, etc...
