What would you do if you were 18 again?

Seems like a pointless question but It would help me get some insight on what I should be doing with my life. I have so much I want to do but I keep putting it off or avoiding the commitment. I don't know what I really want to do with my time so it gets filled up with pointless internet browsing and video games.
I'm wasting time.
For older shroomerites, what do you wish you had done when you were younger? I'm trying to gain some perspective.

That's how I look at a lot of the things that have happened in my life so far. We can't change the past but you can certainly learn from it. There are many things I know I could have done that would've made better me off than I am.
Everyone says they wish they knew some vital information when they were younger. I'm trying to get that information early. I'm cheating.

Here's a huge one, a really, really, big one.
Remember that advice, that old saying, choose your friends wisely?
Take that advice! Meet some people, see who they are, and if they're not like you or you have even minor doubts, find some others. Be picky. Not extremely picky, but picky.
Find nice friends. Don't get involved with dumbasses... You'll regret all those good times you could have had with people who are more like you.
Also, don't get swept up with the culture. The culture is a con game. It gets you nowhere, I mean, just take a look at it. If you're a free and independent individual, everyone in the culture seems to have a life that is a complete lie. And the irony is that most people join the culture so their lives won't be a lie, or they won't be left with nothing. I cringe when I see it in action. They seem like total morons. Just think of what it does to you when you sell yourself out for culture, how it feels, how it makes you dumber, less free.
Develop yourself. Worry about your opinion only. See what YOU think, see what interests YOU, see what's funny to YOU. Don't worry about cultural norms and being part of it all. It's a con game, it's a big bus to nowhere.
Also, don't be pretentious. That's another, internal, personal con game. You will be on a treadmill if you pretend to be 'cool' or 'hip' or 'cosmopolitan'. Never do it.
---
btw thinking you'd like some advice to avoid the pitfalls of growing up is pretty typical of an 18 year old.

Extremely typical, I know. Thanks for the advice. I'm really trying to break away from what influence culture has over me. The friends I've had seem to fall in line with this attitude. I still catch myself mimicking people. It's as though I don't have my own personality or I've covered it deeply because I use to hate myself so much.
I spend so much time alone that I'm very aware of myself yet I can't seem to improve this person as much as I want to.

You joined this site when you were 13/14?
I'm not much older than you but lately it's really stuck with me that my environment deeply affects who I am.
So I try to surround myself with art, with kind, optimistic, people who I feel can teach me things, and if I'm in a bad environment, I point my attention to my body, or breath, or whatever diverts my attention to something that isn't harmful. I basically experiment with my concentration and environment. Meditation.
I've noticed small things like a negative internal dialogue when I'm in traffic or at work and I'm putting effort in to shift my thoughts away from that. If I'm in traffic for ~1 hour a day and I'm pissed off or my body is tense or I'm thinking negative things, then I'm basically doing a one hour harmful meditation.
Everyone talks about how one hour of meditation or yoga or exercise or reading dramatically helps them but it's important to cut out those negative thoughts.
I didn't proof-read this or put much thought into making this sound pretty, so if you want me to clarify anything, I will.

I got carded buying cigarettes the other day, so essentially I was 18 again for a brief moment until the cashier read my license and started laughing.
But to the question. First, I would have NOT started smoking cigarettes. Second, I would realize that I was much better looking than I thought, and that I should have fucked a lot more people before I got so old, CVS cashiers would be laughing at me.

Well, you could still make that decision - assuming you are still in school.
