Mine:

Learn a second language and keep up with the language your parents speak. You will regret being a brat about not wanting to speak this language especially as your family members pass.
The only opinions about you that really matter are from the people you respect and who respect you back
Being a kind humble person, who leads their political convictions with curiosity and not self righteousness is important. As that one person said: "I am no hero and neither are you."
Don't throw out your old media (mix cds, tapes, records, photos, zinee, etc) because you think they're embarrassing. They either will not be embarrassing later or they will become expensive and you can tell them for mad bucks.

Languages are the one thing that gets harder as you get older. Kinda why immersion schooling seems like a decent idea, even if it delays other skills a bit.

Genuinely one of my biggest regrets . I was so resistant as a kid

But don't let people tell you you can't learn or do something because you didn't start young! Adult learning is different, but you'll have lots of advantages you didn't have as a kid. Keep learning and doing new stuff!
