If you could tell 22 year old you one thing, what would it be? (1 Viewer)

[MikeIke]

Stop pining for her, it's not going to happen and you'll end up depressed and alone for the next ten years.

I'd probably really want to go back to 17 and tell me not to be stupid, take the 6 year hitch and become a pharmacist. The airline industry is going to be in the toilet when you get out, #######. I kick myself at least a few times a year over that decision. I was a pretty smart 17 but I totally screwed the pooch there.

And just ####, ####, ####

 

[El Floppo]

Make your money first, and then do whatever in the hell it is you're doing with your life now.

 

[John Bender]

Stay in Denver. Pot will be legal in 9 years.

that so many of these are about avoiding certain women.

You haven't lived until you've at least dated ONE of these types I guess. Makes you appreciate the normal ones.

What if you've dated five or six of them?

What if you've dated five or six of them?

Then you may have lived a little too much.

My liver and my #### are nodding in agreement.

My liver sympathizes with yours.

But not your ####?

Live below your means.

No it thinks I'm a quitter.

Don't rent - buy.

(I'm talking about real estate, not women.)

And never a condo/townhouse/etc.

That doesn't seem very realistic for the average 22 year old.

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

Let that ##### walk out the door. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT stop her.

 

[Brony]

First off, how are you?

second, how'd you get so awesome!?!

 

[rockaction]

So true. 22 year-old me was so much cooler. Had life by the balls.

 

[Spin]

Stop partying so much and focus on school so you can enter the workforce at 22 instead of bouncing around in school for 4 more years and co-op is a waste of time.

PS, she doesn't invite you back to her place because she really needs help setting up her new blu-ray player.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Just because you thought you wanted to be a chiropractor when you were 16, doesnt mean you still have to be one now. You have your college degree, now that you think its not the right career for you, no need to go to chiropractic school and leave after 2 trimesters only to incur $30K in loans/debt. You'll figure it out.

 

[Carolina Hustler]

"To late, you already did it.."

 

[Kenny Powers]

That six pack of tallboys every night will be 3 handles of Bacardi per week by the time you're 27. That isn't really healthy and you may want to talk to someone about that.

Well, Im only at 2 handles a week but my future self needs to tell my current self to wise up and cut back on the booze.

 

[jomar]

It's not time to make a change. Just relax, take it easy.

You're still young, that's your fault. There's so much you need to know.

Find a girl, settle down. If you want to, you can marry.

Look at me, I am old but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now and I know that it's not easy

To be calm when you've found something going on.

Take your time, think a lot. Think of everything you've got

For you may still be here tomorrow but your dreams may not.

 

[fatness]

Don't take advice from older people too seriously unless they seem both sane and happy. Then, it might be worth listening to.

 

[cstu]

#1 is almost universal advice. I'd guess about 99% of people don't start saving enough soon enough.

For me, it would be "she's going to come around to you eventually. Don't sit like a lump on the log waiting for her and go sow your wild oats first."

This sums it up.

 

[NutterButter]

Stop worrying so much about trying to land that 8 or 9 at the bar, as every other guy was. Focus on the under appreciated 6 face with an 8 or 9 body and enjoy the hell out of it.

This is insanely good advice. Thinking about it, if you were a good looking dude in college or the single years after especially in a big city, you can have your pick of all the chicks that fall into that category. You do spend so much time focusing on the couple really hot chick or the one that catches your eye that you pass up on a lot of more likely opportunities. That would be a lot of good sex.

There's a reason lions go after the weakest gazelle in the herd. That gazelle is insecure, thinks it's fat and has gazelle friends with longer legs.

You should tell your 22 year old self to go back and tell your 17 year old self that.

 

[Grady Wilson]

Probably go more into the banking industry instead of being in accounting. I like what I do, but if I had to do it all over again I would major in finance and went more into financial services side. Either that or I would have pursued my PhD and went into teaching full time.

 

[tdoss]

I'd tell me to invest in Apple and Google.

Everything else I want (plethora of biitches and riches) will come with it.

Don't love them ho's. All that nonsense about them wanting a sensitive man who was raised to respect a woman is nonsense.

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

Don't Get Married Before 30

Have Fun

Bang lots of girls

You hit two out of three without the advice, that isn't bad

Do just what you're doing. Everything turns out great.

Even though my early 20s area bit foggy.

 

[chauncey]

Stop getting so hammered and bang as many of these 18-21 year old chicks as you can. You can get #### faced the rest of your life but the window on young eager southern coeds is slowly closing.

 

[chauncey]

A good off shoot of this thread would be "if 10 years in the future you could tell present day you one thing what would it be?"

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

"That chick that you have platonic friends with since HS? The one you flew all the way across the country to hang out with platonically? The one that you don't want to make a move on because you don't want to risk the friendship with? She totally wants the D. Big time. Go ahead and pound her like a 3-penny nail. That friendship isn't going to last more than a year or so. Mount that like a 12 point buck. Hit it like you have a grudge against it from the old neighborhood."
