Oh boy, this could be a long post! But I will limit it to 10 minutes. First off, I would tell myself to get some guidance about what to take at university. Have a plan. If things don't go according to plan, that's okay but begin with a plan. If you're going to take English literature, what are you going to do afterwards with that degree. I guess my plan was to enter the public service but that is too vague. And that's all I had. So that is the first thing.
Also, try different things to find out what you want to do. Don't get stuck in a rut. This is easier said than done.
Second, I would say, take some time to have fun. I actually don't think I started having fun until I was in my thirties! Take a trip. Before or after university but preferrably before. After you are too anxious to get a job and start making some money. A lot of young people go to Europe. That would have been great. See the world. Try new things.
Third, don't get married until you are at least 25.
Hm, that's all I can think of. I thought the list would be longer.
About this blog
This blog is intended for freewriting. Freewriting is a term coined by Mark Levy, the author of a brilliant book called "Accidental Genius". The purpose of the book is to help the reader to use writing to generate her best ideas, insight and content. I will be using his techniques on this blog. It is "stream of consciousness" writing so I will go off on tangents. For the purposes of freewriting, that's okay.
By its very nature, freewriting entails freethinking; I will express my opinion on any number of subjects. Feel free to comment but please, no flaming.
