Get into programming sooner and be more productive with time. I never felt like I had enough time but I'm sure I could have MADE it.

Lose some goddamn weight, learn to talk to girls, and continue the devving. It will pay off.
Oh, and take AP Chemistry rather than Biology. Computer Engineers don't get credit for Biology...

"None of this is going to matter in a few more years. Also, don't graduate when you're 16, you're not ready for college at 16. Go to prom, take senior photos, graduate when you're 17 like normal people that graduate early, and go to a public college like UAH. And keep playing soccer, it's good for you."

On May 17th of this year, the winning lottery numbers will be 7, 16, 22, 45, 8.
Edit: In all seriousness though, I really enjoyed highschool. Met some of my best friends there and made some of the best memories of my life. No regrets.

"Don't do stupid things to impress people, a Drunk & Unhappy PiP is a bad one, if you want to go places, see new people etc and your friends are too bone idle/confortable/ threatened by change, go anyway, it's your life, also, take up acting as a hobby, oh, and chill-out, you only need to get 3 C's to get on your course so don't run yourself into the ground, yours truly, 18 year old me

Considering that I'm still inhighschool... I'd probably say "fuck the senior year, waste of time, graduate early like a good lass."
Other than that, high school's been good to me.

Meh, aight, lemme switch that:
Don't stop going to gym, and cut back on energy drinks. Sleep more--school's not worth the lack of. Don't take AP chem, do AP englishes instead. Also, ignore people who tell you not to take 2 math's a year--go all out. Also, don't take physics until after calculus, and if you do take AP chem, do that after Cal as well.

we don't have highschool in the UK, it's primary school, then secondary, then college then uni, I count college as "high-school" because I think the ages match up about right(16-18 years)
College is very much a stopgap, limbo, stressful work, it was for me anyway, university was always my end goal, now I'm here

I'd tell myself to push my parents into finding ways that I could of afforded to and gone straight for my bachelor's degree and I would also get on my ass to stop with the caffeinated drinks and go with a good water/juice combo and to lose weight and hit the gym. OH and to look up a young ass punk named Gyrovorbis so I'd have someone to learn this shit with and to get more involved with dev communities.
EDIT: Cram hard in every Math class!
