First off, get an education. If you are not in college...enroll! It is so important, not only to have the education but also the experience. College is a time to expand your ideas and meet so many people!
Next, don't even think about marriage until you are around 25- 28 at least. This is the only time in life that's yours! Once your married and have children...it's about the family. Take this time to do what you want....travel, try new things! Have fun!! Life comes at you quick, and before you know it your married, working, raising a family. Not that those things aren't wonderful too....but it will be easier to devote yourself and sacrifice yourself for your family later if you take time for yourself now!
And...save money! Even if it's $10 a week...start a savings! Ideally it would be 10% of your earnings, tucked into a savings every payday.
Have fun...enjoy your youth!

Study more if you are in college for sure. Once you graduate it is no longer a world where everyone can get an A, there are a finite number of jobs and the best picks go to those with the best grades.
Also I would be careful about who you trust, there are a lot of people out there who won't be looking out for you.

At 19 i would keep busting my butt in school and be more out going. I wouldnt get into any serious relationship but date a lot.
I would love to go back to 25. I would have taken a couple of different jobs and gotten my master's faster in business. I would have a lot more money and my career would have been more established.

I would have kept in touch with people I knew at that time. Once you pass 22 or so, people start getting engaged and stuff and you might lose contact with a lot of people. People also move away to other cities. Believe me, in 4-5 years your life will look very different. Cherish these moments that you have, now.

I wouldn't have been afraid to ask questions and admit I didn't know how to enroll in college. I wouldn't have been afraid of signing an education loan. I would have chose a 2-year degree program and worked through summer courses to get an associate's degree. I would have NOT gotten married. I would have seen a nutritionist or not been afraid to ask my doctor for practical help in managing my wieght (it's finally under control) I would have not allowed myself to be GUILTED into staying with anyone. (NEVER EVER date anyone who would guilt you or make you feel 'sorry' for them just to stay with them!)
I would have bought a house or condo when I was 25, and I would have used the equity after selling the house or condo to move to Hawai'i and start a private couseling practice based on income.

I would have started to learn how to handle credit cards, and the value of having credit.
Studied harder in school.
Waited to get pregnant.
And the main thing would have been in the way I looked at men. Instead of going for the one with the best looks and bad boy image, I would have went for the ones that had the best personality and stability.

In terms of what? you have to be more specific. If I went back to 19, I don't know if I'd do anything differently as I don't know the outcome of that.

Studied harder in college.
I graduated and all, but my final GPA wasn't too hot. If I had a stronger work ethic during school and made more A's, I would have found a much better job.
