Question What advice would you give your twenty-year-old self, and what should they ignore? Time & hindsight read 76 other answers →

Study. Be honest. Don’t violate the laws and get in trouble. Get you a good spouse that will support you, because you never stop working and studying. The fact that you get the place just means you’ve started as far as the work and the pressure is concerned. That’s the only advice I’d know to give.
