At 15 (not 18), I’d say stay clear from all boys, and play baseball instead.

The ten things I would tell myself at 18 are ten things I would ignore at 18.

“You couldn't get hold of the things you'd done and turn them right again. Such a power might be given to the gods, but it was not given to women and men, and that was probably a good thing. Had it been otherwise, people would probably die of old age still trying to rewrite their teens.”
― Stephen King, The Stand

Learn a second language, engage in a lifelong study of a field not related to your career, play a sport, and play a musical instrument.

I’m 3 for 4. I have no musical talent.

2. Listen to and honor your parents.
Three days before my 18th birthday my mother “married” her seventh “husband.” The woman at the well had nothing on my mother. Not all parents make great role models.
I would tell myself put everything you have into your car and learn to live in it.

Desire picked up a drug habit and cheated on me.

Don’t care if I ever see her again ..... Well, maybe at her funeral....

I’d listen to my Mom, she’d tell me as I was getting ready to go out on a date, “Keep the horse in the barn.” I didn’t ask questions because I knew what she was talking about.

I think I would tell myself not to take everything so seriously.
