If you could offer one sentence of advice to your 13-year old self..

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

When the chance presents itself next year, don't dive head first into a three-and-a-half-year relationship. You're fucking 14, you don't need that.

And aim for an electrician's degree or something that provides a steady income.

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

On a more serious note, I wouldn't change a single thing. All the crap and good decision made me who I am, no reason to fuck around with that stuff.

 

[John_C]

Do roughly what you did, all the shit experiences did great things for me in the long term. Except invest money in apple, that would have been SWEEEET!

 

[crillemannen]

Don't get together with that girl at the age of 18, you'll lose 5years of your life and you will miss out of tons of pussy

 

[Old_Gregg]

"Dont be afraid to live a little. Have fun and do stupid irresponsible things because its much harder to get away with that shit when you're older. Oh, and actually revise for your A levels and get a job asap coz the longer you wait the harder it will be to find one"

 

[Soundlurker]

Honestly, unless you're life is hell right now, I'd say changing anything would be like opening a huge can of worms. Weird timing on the thread, btw, only a day ago I was thinking about how chained together everything is and how many factors account for every single aspect of your life.

 

[DanLights]

As many said, act like you're thirteen. It might be a pain in the ass for your parents, but hell, they chose to have kid didn't they? Lol.

Oh and if you want to play an instrument and be a real pro at it, start now. Practice every day, with a metronome, you don't have to sacrifice kidfun time, at least an hour a day will suffice, more is better of course

 

[jipchen]

Funny idea. My advice would be: "continue taking piano lessons, start learning guitar NOW and not at 16, and practice hard. Don't cop-out of two dates because you're scared, you little pussy. Also, try to get together with that girl at 18 very quickly because if you wait she's gonna be in a very long relationship with the biggest douche ever"

With the other decisions I'm pretty much content. I don't know yet if I can make the studio work as a business, but I wouldn't want it any other way.

 

[TheDriller]

Stop being a tool and fuck more girls.
Also, obligitary apple stock

 

[Mutant]

Well...

I just "won" in this thread

I would look up the biggest lotto, megalottery, whatever prize pool cumulation and pass the winning numbers to myself at 13 !

Muuuahahahahaaaaaaaa !

 

[Hez]

Probably just to not be a pussy and talk to/meet more people. Both girls and guys. Human interaction is probably the most fundamentally important part of life, and by being a total shynerd I basically missed out on 7 years of potentially interesting people, potentially amazing girls, potentially life-changing opportunities.

Although having said that I could probably tell my current age-20 self the very same thing.

(INB4 old guys telling me I've still got my whole life ahead of me etc. etc. )

 

[StefTD]

like a few already said:
1. BUY APPLE STOCKS!!!

2. Don't buy 4 different preamps and stuff, get that Engl Savage 120 with Mesa Recto Cab for 1000€...
3. Cut your hair, stop wearing camouflage shorts and bang the living shit out of that girl from the other class!
4. Don't drink that much on New Year's Eve 2006 and bang that girl instead of falling asleep while flirting with her...
5. More sport, less fat, start to play Football earlier, I would have been a great player
6. Get the other guys in the band to spend a bit more money on equipment instead of booze and become a good band.
7. Stop being such a dumbass!!!
8. Stop being such a dumbass!!!!!!
9. Stop being such a dumbass!!!!!!!!!
10. Repeat No. 3 and 4 (the part with the fucking) as often as possible!

 

[amarshism]

Start playing guitar and stop playing football.

 

[mulder_ftw]

Start drumming lessons now, not when you're in your twenties!!!!

 

[RLab]

Play more guitar and bass, you won't struggle as much as you do those days

 

[Skinny Viking]

12 years from now when that really hot stripper that really likes you asks if she can crash at your place after hanging out with you all night bar hopping and she crawls into your bed in nothing but her thong ...

DON'T TRY TO BE A SUCH A FUCKING GENTLEMAN AND SLEEP ON THE GODDAMN COUCH!!!! SHE WANTED DICK!!! SHE WANTED YOUR DICK!!!!

EDIT: Oh yeah, invest in that Apple stuff

 

[SocialNumb]

Don't do all those drugs in the up coming years. You won't remember what it was like to be 13.
A school bully is going to fuck with you in the future. Let it go. Don't slice his back with a razor blade.
Leave the damn frogs alone! They didn't do anything to you asshole.
Don't kill those chickens with a high powered BB gun. They didn't do anything to you asshole.
Take the piano lessons.
Apple and stuff.

 

[drew_drummer]

Don't finger Sally on the miniture golf course, and then 10 minutes later tell a friend (whilst Sally hids around the corner within earshot) that you've got a girlfriend.

Wow, I feel sorry for you

 

[Skinny Viking]

^ I totally botched that one

she literally got undressed down to nothing but her thong right in front of me and crawled in my bed and said it was kinda cold in my bedroom ...

I fucking turned the heat up higher and then slept on the couch
