1. Go to college. It doesn't matter that you don't know what you want to do and are being all practical and not wasting money going without a goal in mind. Just GO! It will be a lot harder to get your degree when you have a car payment and a house payment and a 40-hour per week job. And go out of state. Get the full living on campus experience.
2. Don't wait for the perfect guy and the perfect "spark." There are some great guys out there that like you. Try them out. You may be surprised. You don't have to marry them. And that romance novel stuff? I haven't seen much of it yet, so take it with a grain of salt.
3. Start an exercise regime now. Good habits go a long way! I know you hate to sweat, but you'll hate it a lot more when you are 42 and facing the daunting task of losing 140 pounds.
4. Major forks in the road of life do not come with a road sign. You will be presented with choices that will change the path of your life and won't recognize that fact until years later.
5. If you volunteer for stuff early on you get to pick the job you like (or hate the least). If you wait, you'll get stuck with the sucky jobs.
To quote Brad Paisley, these are nowhere near the best years of your life.
