Same here. I finished my BA at 27 and I went on to take an MA and then a PhD 10 years later.

One more piece of advice: don't do drugs.

Eh I'd say experiment if you want, but be responsible about it. Don't let it consume your life or have priority over family, friends, work, etc. If you're going to party, best to get it out of your system when you're young, when consequences are less impactful.

And if you do, do the fun stuff like weed, cocaine, shrooms, LSD, stuff like that. Don't fuck with the dangerous stuff like heroin, fentanyl, meth, or pills like xanax or other benzos. Also alcohol can be dangerous too.

Unless you are not in a mentally healthy place, or know you are susceptible to addiction. Then don't even try.

Coke belongs in your second list.

Problem with this is, when you realize it's not fun anymore you're sometimes too down the rabbit hole.

I did pot only but I wasted 5 years to stupidity and paranoia.

When you're a teenager you're not always aware of your mental health issues.

Doing drugs was good for me, but more than doing drugs was being selective about it. I smoked pot sparingly and dropped acid a few times when I was pretty sure I was in a good place mentally.
