hi! im about to graduate, so i just wanted to share some advice some might find helpful! like i said in title, feel free to add some in the comments!

• don't focus on relationships. i know like, everyone says this, and i know it's hard not to because that's like what so many people are focused on, but it's really true! you are NOT going to marry the person you have a crush on in highschool
• HYGIENE. make sure you shower every day to every other day. you don't have to wash your hair every time. wear deodorant. change your underwear. there is nothing more off-putting than smelling bad or looking greasy. im not trying to be mean, but that has potential to screw over your social life
• get a job if you have time! this gives you money, work experience, and a whole new circle of people. gives you somewhere to go that's besides home, too.
• SAVE UP MONEY. i know you're young and you want to buy things, but you REALLY want to spend as less as possible. save for a car, college, or just a pillow in case something happens
• make friends that aren't from school. your school social life, unfortunately, can implode in an instant. have friends in a bunch of different circles, like work, online, etc. those online friends will support you when things go to hell, even if they're miles away
• vent selectively. i know you need to just get it out, and i know it's tempting to tell anyone who will listen what's going on, who pissed you off, etc. but a lot of people don't care enough about you and can and WILL use what you say against you. venting to the wrong person can seriously screw you over
• find something to spend spare time on. find a video game you can devote time to, a passion project, something creative, etc. this will be helpful for the lonely nights, because it DOES get lonely
• DON'T use AI. just don't. you won't learn anything from using it on your assignments. you'll decline intellectually. it will HURT you. that's not even talking about how awful AI actually is. that "brainrot" WILL hurt your brain, it's not just called that for fun
• get off tiktok. real people don't think like that. it'll just make you feel awful. your attention span will get screwed. trust me, just delete it
• GUYS - RESPECT WOMEN. there is nothing uglier and less attractive than being a misogynist. be respectful, don't make rape jokes, don't make sexual jokes about random women. trust me, you'll be a lot better to be around
• GIRLS - extend a hand. i promise you, that random compliment you gave to that one girl in the "out crowd" will make her day, and your mood will be lifted too
• don't talk shit behind someone's back (with people you don't ABSOLUTELY trust). it's really tempting to blab, but it might get back to them and they WILL feel bad, and it WILL come back to you
• be cringe. write that fanfiction, play that random game, be silly sometimes, even if in secret. it's okay. people who are your real friends won't judge you for it, and most times your biggest judge is yourself

that's all i have at the top of my head haha.

also each loop is one day and you can choose for it to happen on any day next week
