Always set two alarm clocks. One should be your cell phone, and the other can be a normal electric alarm clock. You will never oversleep due to alarm clock related issues again.

Once slept through two alarm clocks for an hour and a half :P. If I really have to wake up at a certain time, I will. Otherwise, it's unlikely :P.

Don't really have any good advice to give though.

Alarm clocks are useless. I've found that if I leave my window open at night, the traffic at six in the morning always wakes me up.

In fact, that's my new advice. If you have trouble waking up in the morning, leave the window open. Although obviously that's only applicable if you live by a busy road :lol
 
Stay in school and finish what you start. Don't buy into that taking a year off shit. That's for people who are content with making 50 grand a year for the rest of their lives. Find something you love and do it.
 
alright, one more:

take responsibility for your actions. Don't shift the blame. It's what causes most of the worlds problems.
 
Don't make a habit out of procrastination.

Aim for a regular sleep pattern.

Look in a mirror now and then and don't let your body go.

take a few breaths before blowing off steam to give you time to decide if you wouldn't regret it

don't put the pussy on a pedestal

Realise you are luckier than most people to have your health (if you have it).

Don't be judgmental, the happiest people I know are all carefree happy go lucky people, the judgmental kind usually waste too much time on useless drama, mindgames and overthinking to be happy.

Most of this shit should come natural btw.
 
-If you have roommates, be courteous and clean up. Not only your own shit, but community shit.
-Have foresight before you do something. Stupidity comes from absence of foresight. It's also where accidents come from. Think before you do something.
-Don't get involved with anyone that is immature. At least more immature than you. Shit goes downhill.
-Food is food. Eat it and don't bitch about it, it looks bad.
-You look like an idiot if you mess up "your/you're". This should be a top priority to fix.
-Try psychedelics at least once.
-Never allow anyone to drink and drive.
-Weed is better than alcohol in almost every respect imaginable.
-Don't treat people like shit or like they don't matter.

heavily disagree
 
Some advice I wish I had gotten:

Never move anywhere for anything, no matter how much you love it. Don't move to Tokyo because you love anime, don't go to Amsterdam to smoke weed and don't move anywhere for a girl. It's just a dream!

I wouldn't have posted this on my own but since you started it:

- Try ecstasy/MDMA at least once. As in trip balls on it, not taking half a weak pill. It will change your perspective on a lot of things.

That's fine, but any reasons?
Here's mine:
-Makes you more sociable.
-Makes you forget problems (weed can too).
-Makes you drunk.

For me there are many more negatives to alcohol than positives, and vice versa for weed. Based on the array of problems caused by alcohol, it's one of my best pieces of advice to get involved with weed instead. But everyone is entitled to their drink.

Oh another piece of advice: Don't fart when there is any probability a nice looking lady will come by, because one will come by.

-Don't talk like this goon

But honestly, it's obviously a preference that you're not going to be convinced by. I adore the taste of good beer, and prefer being drunk over being high. Whenever I smoke I sit on the couch and attack a bag of chips; when drunk I'm much more sociable and feel relaxed.

I don't think they're a 1:1 swap, but I do agree that weed is far less dangerous
 
- Read regularly and widely. If you think you Don't Have Time, take small sips (a page or two) rather than large gulps. Read while you wait in the checkout line or during lunch. Alternatively, listen to audiobooks in the car or on your iPod. Freedom begins with mental autonomy.

- Question your assumptions.

- Maintain an attitude of healthy skepticism.

- Don't be afraid to suspend judgment or to be wrong. Admit to yourself and others when you don't know.

- Good manners and a smile will take you a long way. This is one cliche that happens to be true.
 
Don't count your chickens before they cross the road.

A penny saved in a bank is in possession of the bank even though you earned it.

Lie down with the dogs and they may bite the hand that feeds them.

If it's too good to be true, then the truth may set you free.
 
Always unplug the chop saw when tightening the blade.

Always test electrical wires with a meter before cutting them, even if you are "positive" that you shut the breaker off.

Never let anyone clean your wood stairs with furniture polish.

Don't loan anyone money that you can't afford to lose.

Don't waste your time chasing after girls who aren't interested.
