    Don't laugh at your parents and grandparents when they tell you your schooldays are the best time of your life. Realise it's true and try to enjoy it as much as you can.

    More about the lack of responsibility.

    Being an adult isn't boring but it's a lot more stressful and the things you have to worry about never go away, e.g. if you "forget" to do your homework, you get in trouble once and it's over, if you "forget" to pay your taxes, you can get into serious ****. And so on.

    The stuff that stresses you when you're a kid is relatively pointless to the stuff that stresses you as an adult. I'd love to go back to that.

    Girls:
    Don't eat food that's bad for you.
    Smother yourself in coconut oil twice a day.

    You'll be only fabiliss.

    Realise the the vast majority of girls are not into anal, despite what the pornographers would have you believe and trying to slip it in unannounced with various girls from the neighbourhood will only lead to tarnished reputations.

    Don't assume adults know better than you, and if you're sure you're right and an adult's wrong, then you're probably right.
    Don't unquestioningly heed any advice from an adult.

    Apart from this advice.

    Sex with girls tops all of that.

    Also - that beautiful after college pre-career time is wonderful. Parties all the time. Everyone's up for going out. People aren't married with kids yet. Brilliant. Shove that up yer pipe schooldays!

    Dont take college too seriously
    you can never relive the party
    your chances of dying from trying most drugs once or twice are pretty low, and drugs are brilliant.
    never say no to a one nighter in college, its the only time you can get away with it before people give you a reputation.
    try a cigarette or two but dont take up smoking.
    Dont get indoctrinated into the socialist agenda in college, your hippy arts student friends will eventually realise they were wrong.
    having a girlfriend going into college is a terrible idea.
    Dont spend any money trying to get a girl, there are sluts if your in it for the ride, and if shes really worth it shell do it for free.
    If you made it to 20 and you dont have a night that you got so drunk you cant remember - you havent been drinking enough

    Don't buy a house, rent.
    Don't take out a mortgage, rob.

    If you want to be rich in Ireland do one of the following :

    Become a politician
    Work for RTE
    Work for the public sector
    or just claim everything like 96% of Ireland do already

    If you want to get away with crimes then become either :

    A Politician / TD
    or become a gardaí - they only get fined €450 per kill

    Don't steal from shops, shoplift or scam - you will go to jail for a short period of time, however if you steal millions or billions you will get away with it so think BIG.

    If you have any health issue's do not go to the HSE or our hospitals, fly to a 1st world country like North Korea or Cuba, they'll look after you their.

    That's only if you're a messer and fail your Leaving. The best days of your life are college for most people, which is why many never leave.

    North Korea has good healthcare only when you take the wealth of the country into account. Ireland still has better healthcare IMO. You might be right about Cuba.
