Don't know what liberties you get when you turn 18 there... here we can vote, buy cigarettes, and lottery tickets.

21... we can drink, gamble, and buy guns.

A routine for what? A routine for how to pass your day. Keep in mind that how you spend your day, will be drastically different 5 years from now even more different 10 years from now. So it's a little hard set that up right now.

I'm not sure how your government works compared to ours, but if it's something that involves your voting, it's your duty to educate yourself on what your voting for beyond the propaganda and rhetoric you see on TV.

If it matters, I celebrated 18 by buying cigarettes even though I don't smoke. Jerk at the counter didn't even card me.

Birthdays just aren't exciting anymore. For my 21st I'm gonna buy a 6 pack of good beer and have a couple with friends.

yeah 12 is better than 6 and i started liking cigars over cigarettes a while back (1.i cant easily find the fine ones 2. they are more expensive hence am less likely to get addicted to smoking coz i gotta save money to buy gear!!)

Alright you want some serious life advice. Identify your pursuits. Establish a discipline that can be a peace of mind for you later in life. For instance, we're all bass players. Playing bass is a discipline. A discipline is necessary when you come home from a horrible day at work, or when life just seems to be plodding along in a rut. A discipline provides your mind a healthy stress release. The goal of life is to combine your discipline, that study which brings you pleasure, with a sustainable way to support yourself and potential family. Sounds simple right? Many of us spend our whole lives in this pursuit.
