1. How much school is enough school?

Not only should you consider where you will go in order to thrive, but you also have to decide how long you should be in school. This changes from person to person depending on so many factors (especially money).

My advice to you is to just go where you think you will succeed the most. Realize that you most likely will have to spend your own money, but if you want to go on to get your master's or even your doctorate, then go get those degrees!

2. It may be time to get that "real" job finally.

Gone are the days of rough teenage part-time jobs. It may be time to finally settle down a bit with a more stable job. You may also get paid a lot more which is a huge added bonus. If you have no idea what kind of job you even want, then you may want to sit and focus on yourself a bit more.

My advice to you is to get a job where you will be happy to go there every day. Picking a career that you theoretically will spend most of your time at means that you should pick something enjoyable. (Also pick something with a little extra money to help in the long run!)

3. Find that special someone if that is what you want in life.

Love is not built in a day. (Or is that Rome?) There is no time like the present to go find that person who you can build a future with. Go ask that cute guy from English class out finally. Take that bubbly girl to get some Starbucks because you know she has been waiting for you to ask. Maybe your parents will finally stop bugging you to start having those grandkids.

If finding someone is not important to you, then go treat yourself to something delicious and wear those comfortable sweatpants while you are at it.

4. Do I want to live in the country or the busy city? Both?

Your future is ahead of you, but you may be wanting to find somewhere new to live. Do you think you have what it takes to navigate a busy city? Do you prefer the quiet life offered living out in the middle of absolutely nowhere? These are important questions to consider especially if you are feeling bored wherever you are currently living.

Just remember, where you are living now does not have to be where you will live forever.

5. Travel anywhere and everywhere.

If you have never even been out of the country, then now is the perfect time to go. You have no idea what is in store for you wherever you choose to go. If you do not have that much money saved up to travel, then even just going for a road trip with some friends may be good enough.

My advice is to make memories wherever you travel, take a lot of photos, and come back happier and relaxed.

6. Buy yourself some cute plants or pets to make you happy.

Being responsible for plants and animals can require some effort, but it will also help you become a better person. Maybe start off small with one or two before diving into more. Also remember to actually feed them and take care of them. Show some love to them!

7. Start that diet or workout routine that you have been wanting.

Putting in the time and motivation to start can be a difficult task, but you can do it if you want results. If you have a goal in mind, then why would you ever want to wait?

My advice is to get that gym membership back, or join that cycling class that meets twice a week. Go to yoga for the first time in years, and order that fancy commercial diet food.

8. Re-do your style to be true to yourself.

Color your hair whatever shade you want. Cut some bangs because phases are allowed to happen. Change your wardrobe to clothes you actually want to wear instead of what people expect you to wear.

It all comes down to what you want to look like as you approach your future. You might as well do it in your own way with your own style.

9. Actually try to accomplish your bucket list.

Some of your best years and experiences are just ahead of you. You know you made that list years ago in a spiral notebook while you were bored in class one day. It is time to revisit those dreams and add to them. If you are looking for something to do now, pick a few items and go do them!

10. Finally, binge that new Netflix series!

When the future becomes overwhelming, take it one day at a time. My suggestion is to watch some good Netflix shows when you are stressed from making so many important life decisions. I would give some examples. but really you cannot go wrong with most choices.
