Never quit a definite job for a maybe job.
Even if your
current job is shit. Even if the maybe job is your dream job. Unless you have a
really good back up plan (like $5000 in the bank), don’t do it.
On the day the OP results come out, about
50 000 people are going to ask you what you got.
And then a
few weeks later that one aunt who’s really behind with everything will ask you
what you got. And then you’ll probably never be asked again.
Don’t be too proud about things like doing
your taxes.
If you don’t
100% understand how to do it, pay a guy. Because if you do it wrong, you get in
shit.
The boy you’re in love with when you’re 17,
probably won’t be the boy you’re in love with when you’re 18.
Sorry.
It’s not the end of the world if you don’t
go straight to uni.
My apologies
to every high school teacher ever, but there are other ways to get into your
dream industry. Also there’s nothing wrong with taking a gap year to decide
what you really want.
Popularity literally means nothing outside of high school.
Seriously, you can’t put “has 1587 friends on Facebook” on a resume.
Don’t move out of home straight away unless
you absolutely HAVE to.
Take some
time. Get your shit sorted. Even if it takes a few years. You might have a
little less freedom, but you’ll have a lot more food.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with
working in fast food to get you through uni.
Let’s be
honest: it’s decent pay, flexible hours and a shit easy job. Don’t be ashamed. Rep
that maccas uniform, gurl.
Make sure if you’re moving in with friends
as roommates, you know their living habits.
Are they a
neat freak or a lazy cleaner? Are they good at budgeting and paying their bills
on time? Which way do they put the toilet paper on the holder? Do they squeeze
the toothpaste from the top or the bottom?
After about 12 months, you will probably
have lost contact with 90% of the people you have been friends with for 5
years.
It just
happens. You grow apart. You make new friends. No big deal, promise.
Boys are still dumb.
You will
learn to forgive them and accept that their brains mature slower.
There will be drama everywhere you go.
It’s not just
something you can escape. Soz.
You cannot plan out any certain time span
of your life perfectly.
Unexpected things
will happen to you every five minutes. Don’t stress. Just roll with the
punches.
Life is not like high school.
Full stop. Exclamation
point. Semi-colon;
