    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    That all the wasted time used to teach us "Religion" for 45 minutes everyday was and would be a load of kack
    - that time could have been spent much better on other subjects!

    Girls are absolutely crazy, they are totally insane, and you are an attracter of the insane one!!!

    Masturbation stops being fun after a while, stop doing it so much.

    I know what you mean. That's called orgasming but if you wait a little while, it becomes fun again. Trust me.

    It should be taught in schools that she's not the only one for you.

    No meant yes back in them days.

    I'd kick my own arse and tell myself to invest in property. Clearly, houses are solid as rocks, investment wise.

    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you were using reverse psychology here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭Zangetsu


    Strange... I actually can't think of anything that I would want to know, everything in its own time...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,914 ✭✭✭✭tbh


    most of the things that are important to you [music,football team, politics] at 17/18 will not be important to you at 27/28. So don't be a dick about them.

    Moving a lot and starting again is easy.

    Not getting addicted to moving around and starting again is hard.

    It's better to do what you want to do with your life, rather than what you (or others) feel you should be doing with your life.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Be more social. So many missed-opportunities in life because you said 'no'

    It's all well and good doing as many sports as you could as a child, but it will leave you near-crippled as an adult.

    Forgot how great that song is. But anyone ever feel like the advice you were given when you're younger only makes sense now after you found out yourself? :(

    Should have taken that first offer of €X,000
    Should have partied more and gone out more in college
    Should have got moving on my thesis a small bit sooner
    Should have listened to my dad alot more when he was alive


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,220 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    That college doesn't mean sweet fuk all. The leaving cert means more, the JC is a joke and means nothing. Pressure on kids to do well in these causes suicides... Kill all the teachers.

    You are better to work from the age of 16 and do night courses instead of full time crap college. If I knew college meant nothing I would have tried lots of drugs, drank more and stayed in bed longer...

    How to recognise the signals when you meet a potential Mr Right
    That going to university entailed actual studying, not just hanging around with your friends in the arts block.
    Home and Away is a load of rubbish - not worth trying to watch every night.
    That Pink Floyd were never going to do another tour - now I'll never get to see them live :(
    Having that extra chocolate is not worth it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,193 ✭✭✭[Jackass]


    Don't judge yourself.
    Don't be too hard on yourself.
    Forgive yourself for mistakes you made.
    People don't judge you or think about you as much as you think.
    Value friends for what they're worth and make an effort to show them.
    Never lose touch.
    Travel.
    Just have fun. You're only young once, there's plenty of time to make your money, buy your house and have your family. Just make sure you didn't miss anything on the journey there - because you can never go back.

    funny, im 21 now.. and i wish when i was 18 i knew what i know now. all 3 years ago but started and finished college in that time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,440 ✭✭✭GirlInterrupted


    I wish I knew that almost always, everything is alright in the end.

    I wish I knew that even though you think its a good idea to get a few inches off your hair, it rarely is.

    I wish I knew that although most people are honest and trustworthy, sometimes the ones who seem the most honest are the biggest liars.
