On a serious note...that a year flies by and that getting out of Uni and getting a job could wait a few years while you bum around the world doing the shit you'll never have time to do later.
EDIT: I'd have moved to Manchester. Imagine the friends I'd have now. 🙂
Think about what you enjoy/are good at doing and do that, not what other people tell you is a good thing to do.

Most people are greedy if given the chance.
With greed they turn nasty backstabbers at work.
There are very few genuinely good hearted people around.
I learn that political correctness and spin is very much the creation of greed.

That people are actually pretty good, really. That no matter how shocking you think people might find things about you, generally they just learn to accept and deal with it in their own little way.

They are only good if you stay out of their way and let them do as they like or benefit them. Yes, most people accept them in their own little ways but these are the good ones but most have the tendency to encroach on others. They want more.

I am afraid I can't afford fab Nicolai bikes ... 
That self belief and self confidence are more important than any qualification in the world.
That schools and parents both seek to undermine self confidence and self determination with alarming frequency.
That nearly every qualification can be obtained at a later point in life, so screwing up at school or not doing higher education is not the end of the world people tell you it is.
People who are 'doing things for your own good' are usually intent on helping themselves and don't care about negative impacts on you.
Doesn't sound like you have had a good experience of other people, chewkw??
And, somehow, I doubt my own massive decision is likely to encourage others to follow me… 🙄
