You know those cool projects you have in mind? There's no major rush. In ten years you might look back and wish you'd been slow and steady instead of racing imaginary deadlines.
Also nobody is going to care about what your major was in college so take whatever classes you feel like.
Also don't cheap out on your housing situation. I know you're broke but you'll save a lot of stress by taking out more student loans and having a stable living situation and good roommates.
Ben, I agree with everything you said, except the part "save a lot of stress by taking out more student loans and having a stable living situation". What you actually meant by that?
The Internet never forgets, so be kind.
Also. Can't miss a chance to show off one of my funnier tweets:
Work less but smarter, learn/do one thing at the time.
"Play less MapleStory" is what I usually joke about when I'm asked that haha.
But in reality, I'd probably tell myself to read a bit more about software development, that I know I will like it. And to follow that enjoyment that I have for photography, because I know that he will enjoy it for a long time!
You played MapleStory too! Ha small world, while I can see the sentiment I also raise you this
I've played different games, usually MMORPG. I don't really regret this, I didn't learn much about development while playing them, however I have quite an ok English thanks to games, I've learned a way to easily communicate and trust people that I've never seen nor probably will and that helps a lot now. Lots of organization skills.
So my two cents.
I can definitely see the value of learning a language via videogames and other kind of media - it's pretty much the way I learned English as well.
Hah, I swear if I played a whole lot less video games I would be much farther along than I am now.
But would you be as happy tho?
Hard to say if I would be happy being farther along, but I think so. At least for me, I have regrets on how much time I spent playing video games. I really think they're best as a hobby as opposed to something I spend all my time doing.
Like @fnh said below though:
Well, hindsight is 20/20, but the gist would be: Your time and your health are extremly precious, act accordingly.
This is similar to what I would say to myself; keep the fitness up, eat well, look after yourself.
Don't go to school, just start coding now !!! Its 10 years waste of time .
bold... Yet I agree.
Its the reality , why study mechanical engineering to end up a Software developer right ?
Ignore the next few girls coming to your life.
hahahaha
"Don't follow mainstream technologies, instead search an elegant answer to your problems"
It's not because "everyone" is using a tool that it's the best tool available for your job. (Insert a random joke about Java, PHP or Whatever).
"Oh! And don't be afraid by Maths, it's not so horrible!"
Buy as much BitCoin as you can, sell it at the end of 2017.
I'd appear, yell: REGRET NOTHING, YOU ARE DOING GREAT AND THINGS WILL WORK OUT BEAUTIFUL! And disappear again.
