  @KatieinBkln I remember being told by my mother over and over again "The world needs balance. We need all kinds of people. We need accounts and we need artists. Neither are better or more important and both are needed".
  

  
  

  
  

  She's pretty smart. She also told me "If you start drinking hard liquor don't switch to beer, you'll have a shitty hang over in the morning", she's got a lot a of knowledge about different things.

  My mom always says, "Beer before liquor, never sicker. Liquor before beer, in the clear."

  Your parents are cool.  My parents just laughed at my sister whenever she got a hangover.  I've never had one so no laughing for me.  My FI swears that it doesn't matter what you drink, as long as you eat a pizza beforehand because the grease helps or something.

  My bff's dad is an old hippie and was talking to her how he's tried every drug.  Says he recommends coke. Not so much LSD. He grows pot in the garden and smokes it in the sauna that he built. My bff's parents are awesome.

  Double check what city you are buying tickets for. One time I didn't realize that the site had defaulted to another province and I ended up buying concert tickets for Toronto rather than Edmonton. 

  
  

  
  

  I bought a plane ticket to Orange County instead of San Diego, two hours away..

  I'd take the in-state thing a step further and say to start at a CC.  Much cheaper.  Obviously that isn't for everyone, but I do think it's for the vast majority.  When I was in high school I thought the people that went to CC were losers, and I felt like if I didn't run off somewhere and live in the dorms that I'd miss out on "the college experience". LOL no. 

  
  

  Also I don't think it's necessarily the best idea to immediately go to college as soon as you graduate from high school. Not if you're not sure what you want to do.  I wasn't mature enough for college at that time, I didn't appreciate it, and I had no real feel what the job market would be like (didn't help I entered pre-recession and graduated post). 

  
  

  This is excellent advice, and I totally agree. I went straight to a university from high school and decided to be a sociology major because "it seemed interesting." I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Had I gone to a CC first, I would have a) had much less debt at graduation, and b) probably decided on a more functional major.

  I got something similar....
  
  ...Anything with a needle will kill you.
  ...Skip LSD because your dad doesn't handle it well.
  ...Don't take it if you don't know where it came from.
  ...Pot's fine but we'll kill you if you smoke a cigarette. That shit's addictive.
  ...Don't grow the shit in your backyard. That's how you get in trouble. Learn about hydroponics, buy some grow lamps, or get a good source.
  ...Don't take anything that will get in the way of you having the life you want. (Addicts rarely get dream jobs, it's hard to pass a drug test when you're stoned, etc.)
