  • I don’t know if anyone in here needs to hear this, but: eat a variety of foods. Pay attention to how you feel after eating different foods, especially as you get older. Eat less of the ones that affect you negatively. Barring specic allergies, ignore fads and bullshit about seed oils, carbs, gluten, etc. Get some kind of regular exercise.

Since school has stopped being an option for you, I would look for other opportunities to build your personal network. Look for local clubs to join, such as a LUG (Linux users group). Also, look for non-profits that could benefit from some volunteer tech support.
