A future advice article, part I

• What you want will become a lot clearer through trial and error. 
• Even though it feels long now, this is only a short, short period of your life.
• With that being said, make the most of the everyday, make each hour count. Squeeze the productivity out of each minute.
• Enjoy the simple things of life while there is youthful freedom: laughing until your stomach hurts at a over-your-budget sushi restaurant, watching a man light up fireworks dangerously at the park with your childhood friends, worrying about whether or not your first job will be enjoyable (not so bad for the biggest worry in your life)
• Write often. Read often.
• Use failures to fuel your desire to try harder. Humble yourself; there's always something you can learn from failures. Don't think you're above them.
• Don't be such a perfectionist
