#6Stop trying to impress others, especially attractive potential future partners.
Being focused on building a career and the consequent hedonic treadmill is a trap you will regret.

#7Having friends/a good network is a lot more important than academic success. Both for personal fulfilment and for getting a job in future.
Also that becoming a YouTube/Twitch creator is easiest when in university/before you have a full time job with bills to pay, and that you should probably take advantage of that. I kinda regret being so focused on writing rather than creating videos to be honest...

don't talk to stranger idiots. They'll pull you down to their level and beat you by experience.
*don't expect something from others. Do it yourself.

Yes, I was going to say put work into friendships. After very many years it's a habit I regret I did not gain.
