--Take as many honors courses with weighted grades as possible to avoid mathematically eliminating yourself from the top 10% percent by sophomore year. Your GPA will be higher and you may get more out of them too.

--Play fewer video games; try to see what kind of files and stuff you can mess with on them.

--Here is a reading list; instead of reading crappy Star Wars EU novels and playing so many goddamn computer games. (includes some middle brow sci fi like Gibson, Vonnegut and Stephenson to start with and bridges into classics not read in High School and some more advanced literature; also GEB, some basic philosophy stuff and web programming stuff). You have time to read this poo poo now but won't later.

--Calculus kicks your rear end and drat near puts you in shock in college since you tested into it but are just about the only student who hadn't taken it freshman year. Either kick rear end in 7th grade math so you can take it Sr year of HS or read up on it in the summer before college and get good at it.

--You won't be good at lacrosse or get laid because you "played" it. Most of the friends that you will keep in touch with will be in debate and robotics. Do those instead and run around the block for 30 mins 3x a week and do some pushups and crunches to work out.

--When college rolls around, apply to more schools. You get into a pretty good one, but you would probably enjoy one in a major city and not in the midwest (though still go to that one if you don't get in anywhere better). You'd probably enjoy CA, CO, Austin, or NYC or an Ivy more. If you don't get into any of those, go to the one I went to. It was fine.

--DO NOT SWITCH FROM CS TO BIOLOGY! Money isn't everything, but trust me; you want more than you will make doing that.

--Don't worry about not getting laid so much. It will certainly result in you getting laid earlier and more.

--Join SA forums when you first get your debit card; they were better back then and your parents won't give a poo poo and if they do who gives a poo poo.

Because being able to laugh at your dumb self is an important part of adulthood, and it's fun to see that teenagers across all countries, cultures and generations are all bitchmade retards making the same mistakes re drugs, loving.

ALso woulda told myself to do terrible things while still young cause it wont go on your record as long as you don't kill someone.

Don't read Ayn Rand bullshit.

Don't bother with that crazy girl, even having considered it will eventually be incredibly embarrassing.
