What I wish I had known at 18. What do I think is the best advice for an 18-year-old. Since my 18 past almost six years, however, I vividly remember the 18-year-old girl having doubts about everything and firstly at herself. I do not know where those oscillations and lack of self-confidence came from. She has been always surrounded by love and support, simultaneously, was faithfully followed by doubts. It was the time of my first years at University, which by its nature should be the most exciting years at life, but were there so? My first day at Uni was full of inhibitions and even frustration, I barely turned 17, was not sure what I wanted to do and who I actually was. There were so many good-looking, smiling people, seemed to be ready diving deep in student's life. My second memory is my graduation ceremony, this time I was imbued with opposite feelings, full of cheerful and enthusiastic. What is not a surprise feeling faint connection with that inhibited little miss, just a message from a friend "you're gorgeous, how little remain of that embarrassed girl I met on the first day at university" recollect those memories. Perhaps, there are things I regret, but with time, I discovered that regrets are wasting time as the past can not be undone, however, the perception can be altered. There are some matters, I wish I had known a bit earlier. First, be particular and careful to people you surround yourself with. People around you are matter. It does not matter, whether you want it or no, although your surroundings shape your personality. You are in some way the reflection of your closest environment. However, remember, the first people you meet at the university are not necessarily going to be your friends. Don't be caught by toxic people, leave them behind and create a wide network. Second, be brave! Be bold to endeavour and to quit if something does not suit you. When you are young there are many things that intimidate and excite you, but you should get the most advantageous of this time. Notice the worst thing could happen is losing a chance, failing is not the worst. Failing is merely a portion of experience you are able to get and sometimes a funny story to tell further. As one person has said, "you always posses No response, so why not to try?". It could not be severest, however, if you win you get success, if not, you get an experience. There are still so many other things I would rather know earlier. However, peeking back I realise the people around me and the courage to be myself and follow my passion are the most significant.
