If your mother knows how to make stuffed cabbage, make it with her. Otherwise someday you're going to be furious with yourself because you can't figure out how to get the cabbage leaves flexible and still strong enough to roll up tight.
If you have an opportunity to leave the country for any amount of time, or even to leave your home state (province, city, etc), take it. The boyfriend/girlfriend can come too or you can try the long distance thing or split up.
If you have the opportunity to buy a house on reasonable terms, take it. It's much harder to become homeless if you have a reasonable mortgage than if you have to keep coming up with first, last, and deposit.
Reasonable terms is a fixed mortgage that doesn't take (much) more of your income than the rent you currently pay, and a down payment you can put together without more loans.
If the travel and house options conflict, remember other people want to live in your house too. If you don't want to deal with being a landlord, there are property management companies, but you must be careful and make sure they're following legal and moral rules in handling the house and the people who live in it.
You can in fact grate horseradish in a blender, but you have to use a little water and in order to get it uniform you have to go for a fine texture.
If you have a backyard, plant dwarf fruit trees, not semi-dwarf. Because semi-dwarf fruit trees are way too big.
If you plant fruit trees, prune them as hard as they can bear it, especially when they are young. You will save much labor later.
Think twice about planting anything with thorns. You'll probably plant them anyway, but think twice.
If you have too much fruit, and you want to dry them, don't try to copy the plump and moist sulphured fruit in the grocery store: you will fail. Instead, invest in a cheap dehydrator -- or make one, if you want to play with a simple circuit and fan and heater -- and slice the fruit as thin as you can. You will have yummy paperthin wafers. Use fruit fresh: it's just ascorbic and citric acid, and it makes your fruit a pretty color. It does brown some, but in a pretty way.
If your neck hurts, go to the doctor. Now, not thirty years from now.
If someone you like asks you to waltz at a bus stop, don't get all embarrassed about your clumsy feet and refuse. That person may be discouraged from ever spontaneously dancing with you again.
