Re: Turning 18...

You're 18??? I remember when you were younger...and I didn't realize you are older than I am.

Well...you can do a few things that I won't mention here.

You can VOTE. Vote. Please. I won't comment on politics, just vote .

Adulthood and all the responsibility and unpredictability that comes with it. Be an agile thinker and have a good sense of humor about things in life. Your stomach and arteries will thank you.

Re: Turning 18...

Well you could always mentor and still be a huge help to a team out there. Not to hijack this thread, but I have a similar question. I turn 18 in September of my Senior year will I still be able to compete in my Senior year as a full team member not a member?
Thanks

Do you mean, are you still considered a "student" though you're 18? Yes.

HUMAN PLAYER: A pre-college student team member designated as the only team member permitted to enter balls onto the field.

Go to the nearest lottery retailer. Buy about $20 in tickets in the form of your choosing. (When I did this exercise, I did about $15 in scratch-offs and $5 in Powerball.)

If your results are anything like mine (I won $0), you will know how well lottery tickets function as financial planning.

Register to vote. Otherwise you have no say in what happens, and no grounds for complaints, either.

Oh, and don't do anything stupid, you're an adult now...
