Hmm, let me try my hand at this...

1) You're you, and you know yourself better than anyone else does., so be honest with yourself, even if it hurts.

2) Don't let problems fester: acknowledge them, analyze them, discuss them, find a solution.

3) Money is important, but it's a means to an end. Our society requires that you have money to do fun things. Don't let pursuit of riches define you though: only evil and misery lie down that path.

4) Speaking of money: college is completely, unreasonably expensive. Unless your parents are rich, you're going to graduate in debt. So don't rush into it, look into starting at a community college, that kind of thing. If you work hard, stay focused, and get good grades, you can save yourself a lot of financial pain later on, and maybe even go to your dream school, even if it's just for two years instead of four.

5) Happiness is worth a hell of a lot.

6) Make sure to leave your comfort zone. You don't have to do it all the time, but you should do it. It's how you grow. Travel if you can. Try new things, eat food that seems weird, never let life become stale.

7) Don't worry too much about what others think. Again, you're you, and while you should listen to advice and concerns from others and consider it, at the end of the day, you're the boss. You'll always be able to find people who support you.

8) You're probably not the next big star or great artist or athlete or whatever. Don't give that up right away, but be mindful that that's probably not going to happen.
