I'm 17 years old right now.

Wondering what you guys (or girls) would do if you were my age.

 

[Distroyed]

Taken seriously the reality of ending up on the streets because of a dying economy, and done everything possible to get into an Ivy League college and professional school.

 

[Sarchi]

I'd do all the same stupid things I did back then.

 

[Kirosia]

1) Not f' up senior year, cross the stage, and get into a decent state college

2) Make some hot female friends

3) Get a part-time job, so I can actually afford to do stuff

4) Ask out that girl Tina, she was fine

5) Punch myself in the face

6) Punch myself in the stomach

7) Start krunkin'

[Kirosia]

Heh, I didn't even take the SATs... course, I never figured I'd live this long.

Kirosia...You should write a Head-Fi forum joke book. I'd buy it.

If I were 17 again... do I get to keep my wisdom and confidence?

Score constantly...

Seriously, it depends on what you want out of life. So... what do you want out of life?

Money?
Fame?
Popularity?
Spiritual enlightenment?
Power?

Each path would require different choices and achievements.

If I could offer any advice to any young person it would probably be this - "Listen to the little voice in your head".

If there are more than one voice, disregard that statement.

Also, good things come to those who ACT! Entire lives are wasted by people who think and or talk about things, but never do anything about those things. You will never achieve your dreams without action.

So what are your dreams?

Gad- you give some good advice.

I once had a very successful entrepreneur tell me the most important thing was belief. I didn't know what that meant at the time, but it's an essential component of instinct, trusting the voice and action, and it actually has a more comprehensive role if you subscribe to the theories of Napolean Hill, Claude Bristol and a host of others.

@GAD: I'd like to attain lots of money while still having some spare time.

Scoring constantly wouldn't work as a dream...I'm about as good looking as... well I'm not.

I'd try to make more friends in high school. Oh, and I'd quit the job I had then, too. It prevented me from doing anything at all in high school. Basically, I'd try to enjoy myself more than I did back then. I'm still really young, though, so it's not like this is turning into some horrible regret-fest, like I'm sure it is for some of you old schmucks

 

[kugino]

funny how most of the responses so far involve girls/women. few things in life make us want a second chance like women
