Not the most profound thing I suppose, but your eyesight is really important so try not to put more strain on them then necessary.
Here's some meta-advice: most old people are filled with regret, and envy the young. They don't remember what it's really like to be a teenager. They probably don't even know what the real foundations of their successes and failures were. Be very careful following advice. Instead you should try to find someone worth emulating, in their general attitude towards life.
When people tell you advice, they tell you some useful bits, but they also include everything they wished they'd done, and everything that their friends told them.
Yeah, I'm pretty careful.
Find your community.
Apprentice somewhere.
Take advantage of youth as a time to do and try a lot of things. Get outside your comfort zone.
What you know how to do is much more important than what degrees you have.
This is both depressing and liberating, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't work on your plans and have a greater purpose. It means you should enjoy the moment, and enjoy your current situation even while you work on things for your future.
