Oh, and since you’re in the UK, DON’T READ THE DAILY MAIL!!!
(actually, I’d say ignore the media in general, but that’s just me)
1.) STOP READING THIS THREAD
Go out and make mistakes, and learn the hard way. That way the lessons that you really need to learn in life will stick. Believe me, being told what to do will not teach you in the same way that fucking your life up so bad you are completely backed into a corner and being forced to crawl out will do…Happy birthday 
Listen to every one, admire no one.
Happy birthday! I’m exactly 10 years your senior, and I fondly remember what it was like to be 18. This is the best time in life you’ll ever have, make sure you make the most of it.
Stay single and have fun making some of the best friends you may ever have in life. As others have stated, take plenty of time to have fun but don’t let that get in the way of your education. Just because you end up with a degree doesn’t mean someone will hire you. What you do while you’re getting your degree is what counts.
Happy Birthday man!
Great advice guys thanks. Well i’ve stopped having ridicilious hair since school (2 years ago)… so thats a start In those years ive also put on about 35 pounds, discovered girls and stopped playing video games, so i have made progress. TC misquote is probably from atomic dog, i take that book far too literally, its just right. I like to think i’m on a decent path, trying my best to head towards what i have a passion for (doing cinema & photography at leeds university), the only thing i do think, not really a regret, but… training/physiology i can study into and read about/write about for hours on end, so i do wonder how i would have done if i went down the sports science path, i geniunly think ill be tempted to get a second degree sometime in my 20s, after travelling the world and maybe getting serious for awhile. My parents are good, i’m lucky to have them so i like to think i listen to them alot, just not when it comes to training or nutrition, they think im mad eating 5+ meals a day. I read, but i need to read more, it’s a lot more constructive then being sat on the computer, which unfortunately i am for several hours a day, on here and msn, despite stopping playing video games. Squats and milk… well squats at least, milk doesnt agree with my stomach at all. I will work hard at uni. I will feel many boobies. I will keep healthy. One day i want to learn an instrument. I will avoid girls with STI’s as much as humanly possible. <I see your untamed afro, and I raise you my white man dreads > made me lol. -Find a Sugar Mama, i may have to, photography isnt the career choice of many millionaires. As for GPA and everything, the system here is different, but the point is the way, i need to work hard and get a kickass degree.
Dixies thats some inspirational stuff, i’ve come a long way over the past 2 years, the important thing now is is i move forward at least as much as i did from 16 to 18, again.
Now for the fun part (for you guys at least):

Right. My 18th party, i’m just about recovered. As embarrasing as the video is, and as much of a spotty twat i look on the picture, I still thought id share with you guys (guy on the left is the luckiest bastard in the world, shit diet, all he does is play football all day and hes huge and ridiciliously strong without ever working out, i keep telling him to start powerlifting).
After all, what is a thread without pics?
You can see im pretty drunk there, im the skinny bastard in white as you might have guessed, oh and when i look up and “shhh” its because i put on hole in my mates cieling from jumping and touching it and he hadnt noticed yet, im no where near as douchy as that normally just to confirm. But this is nothing on what i was later, ridiciliously drunk, by far the worst ive ever been. Awkward sexual advances on every attractive girl and stripping down at random were definitely in the program. Also, i hate my friends. All afternoon (since the brunt of the hangover has wore down) they have kept telling me I did coke, now… i dont do drugs and dont ever intend to, but i forgot large portions of the night so i was pretty scared… bastards were having me on for like 2 hours. They are all getting a punch next time i see em.

You’re not even qualified to say that, you’re only 10 years older than him.
To the OP, my life gets better and better every year, work hard now to make it easier on yourself later. Don’t underestimate how important it is to make money. All of these “Do what you love and success will follow” preachers are completely full of shit. Tell that to the thousands (if not millions) of failed musicians, artists, etc. who are living below the poverty line.
Save your money
Don’t get credit cards
Don’t waste all your money on cars (until you have money to spare)
Try to avoid student loans as much as possible
Don’t spend all of your college yrs in a relationship
Major in something that you have a passion for
forget TBT for putting on mass
eat more food to put on weight
train with intensity

I concede, you win my friend.
Make lots of money and stay out of debt!No credit cards,EVER! Pay cash for everything even if you have to wait while you save the money.At 37 I’m still paying off stupid shit I did in my 20’s with credit cards.
I’d probly say to myself.“god damnit i wish i could have talked to you when you were in jr high so i could tell you to take french immersion and also go balls studying math”. money can buy happiness i don’t care what the fucking radio says.lol

Probably the most ridiculously untrue thing I’ve ever heard.
Credit is a good thing, Get a couple of credit cards and cut them up, or put them in your closet or something till you absolutly need them. And buying condoms and beer or getting cash advance to pick up a bag, is not considered absolutly needing them. establish yourself. Everyone thats telling you to not get credit cards have made mistakes with credit cards. But you cant live this life without credit. GOOD CREDIT that is.

This is false. You don’t need credit cards. However, they can help establish credit but again are not necessary
