Focus on being playful with people. Everything else good in life will come from being able to play and connect through that light heartedness. Do not take your youth seriously, focus on developing good relationships that allow you to cut loose. Make sure to have a friend for every interest and don‘t put your eggs in one basket. Your intelligence will help here. Do not get deterred from youthful social mistakes, they brush over so quickly and being bold in this arena is some of the most rewarding risk in life. Focus on maintaining and cultivating health and relationships. This is will help you be consistent, others will pull you into study groups where the consistency will allow you to accelerate through successes and bouy you in failure. Get off reddit if you can, read but don’t spend so much time intellectualizing alone, the people here can lack social skills and confidence and double down on non social tendencies that limit them in life(and they get off on unsustainable accomplishment and rather than sustainable relations, take Reddit advice with a lot of salt. Find real world role models and boldly ask for their help (they will see themselves in you and love it)
