If you have the ability to, pay your bills on time. You never know when you’ll need a loan in an emergency and if you destroy your credit rating it’s going to be rough.
While you’re at it, get a low interest low fees credit card so you actually can start building a credit history. Stick it in the freezer in a block of ice, or even cut it up straight away if you need to take away the temptation to use it. If you know you can pay the balance every month then go ahead and put stuff on it for the cashback or points, just be disciplined about the due date for the interest free period.
Never leave your washing in the machine, that stank takes like three hot washes to get out
Don’t smoke weed inside, the smell seeps in to everything

You’ll always be younger than someone, and there’s bound to be people who will patronise you because of it. You don’t suddenly get respect from boomers the moment you turn thirty. It sucks but don’t let it get to you. Those people are dicks.

You’ll feel like you’re constantly cleaning your kitchen and bathroom. It’s okay if there’s a bit of mess but as long as nothings growing in it you’re good.
Don’t bother with feather dusters. They just redistribute the dust. Use a damp cloth instead.
Stuff that says dryclean only can usually be handwashed or put on a gentle cycle, just don’t put it in the dryer
If you’re itchy all the time, it’s probably your washing powder/detergent. Switch to an eco friendly brand (actually, just use an eco friendly brand anyway). Also, skip the fabric softener
Invest in the best quality bedding you can afford. Sleep is a huge contributor to your health
It’s okay to take a mental health day, and don’t feel bad if you do nothing all weekend. You need a rest sometimes
For the love of all that’s holy, learn to use your indicator correctly when you’re driving
