IMO there is a few approaches to life for all humans early in life and especially when you hit 18. The first of the popular approaches I see, is to set your goals toward making money/career for people who know what they want early in life but this approach really takes A LOT out of the time you would normally spend doing the things you love or raising a family.
That brings me to the second approach I see and that's furthering your academic knowledge and other schooling either for fun and life experience or a specific field you feel interested in. This option also requires a lot of time, dedication and hard work and can take a lot of time away from the things you love to do, family and friends
Another way to go is get a pretty good job,you can move up the ranks and settle down with a family but IMO that's only rewarding if you are personally ready for it
The next approach is the one I'm personally trying to do right now until I can figure out what I want to have as a career or whatever I want to do in life, is having fun and balancing it out with the very basic responsibilities of being an adult.
For instance I'm turning 20 in march and I'm just about to get my drivers licenses because I was petrified of carrying weed in my car even though I have my license. Becoming an adult is a challenging proposition but I had a deep roll about a month ago and I was struggling with the EXACT same question. During that roll, I stopped thinking about how challenging and different life would be. Then I was starting to think about how one of my best friends is in love with his girl deeply and they're having a baby soon and another best friend of mine is deeply in love with a good chick. It's very rewarding being adult. The way I figure it is , we are young, very young. I don't think 18 is a reasonable age for you to know exactly what you're going to do in life. For me I want to meet a woman, continue exploring one of the least documented frontiers called the psychedelic experience.
Don't feel too much pressure on your self , you can't find out what you want in life until you get in tune with your priorities, things that make you happy and what path you want take.

This question is somewhat pointless to most of the posters - it's the recent past. It's like saying, what would you do if it were November again. 18 - or 19, 20, 30 - that shit is ancient history to me.

Depends if I was18 now or go back to the year when I was 18. If I could go back to the year I would have invested 98% of my money in mimosa hostilis and bitcoins. I'd be living life right now.

Not go to college
Would wait till I was 60 :-D
Study loans is also a better business for you when you are 60 you would never have to pay them back

HoT, you can't go back in time. You can't undo things that have already happened. You can't expect people to catch on instantly to changes you've made - nor should people accept your word that you have changed. Only your actions and time will convince others you have changed. These things are very incremental, and only when you look back over a longer period will people notice that you are different, and that their opinion of you is different.

I think I'd put my career efforts into a PharmD degree. Then I'd enjoy the hell outta life afterwards.

I wish I had the appreciation for things then, that I have now. But that shit just comes with time..
Oh and I'd probably have finished highschool and maybe gotten an apprenticeship.in the trades

Live healthier and have more fun.
When I was 18 I was this frustrated, terrorized bundle of issues, now I'm 41 and much more easygoing mentally but my health fucking sucks, in part due to poor health choices made during those years.
Live healthy and have fun kids!

Test yourself!
I went to the otherside of the world by myself for a year.
Best. Decision. Ever.
Get out of your comfort zone.
In my experience it get's increasingly harder to get out of your comfort zone as you get older... (although my comfort zone does become broader over time)
