It triggers acne. It doesn't cause acne.
Anything that makes your body weak (or your skin greasy, like chocolate) triggers acne.

- High school should really be the time of your life; you have to grow up afterwards, and probably won't even see 99% of those people on a regular basis again after graduation, so there was no reason not to live it up a little.

- The majority of people don't think they're "too good" for you, and to think otherwise is completely paranoid.

- You can spend $100 every 2 weeks and survive, saving the rest of your money. Within a year, you will have enough saved to get the hell out of Ashland. (I'm in the process of this one right now, but should have started much, much sooner)

- You really did love E...and she loved you, too. You both knew what you were getting into when it started, but you got scared and ran away. That will probably haunt you forever.

- Don't throw away mixtapes from your exes. They won't be depressing someday, and they'll actually often give you a nice, nostalgic happiness remembering the songs.

- Don't try to learn lines in the bathtub; you will drop the script in the water every single time, no matter what you tell yourself to the contrary beforehand.

Hahaha, I love that last one.
I picked out one as I don't know, but apart from that every single one of those is spot on if you ask me.
And as far as the ex-stuff go: Don't throw away ANYTHING from your exes.
It's good to have memories, even if it sucked in the end. I now notice that, talking to my ex about good things in our past, gets us a lot closer together.

I wish that I had lost it to someone who wasn't a jumpoff. It was barely worth it and didn't really mean anything afterward.

You cannot just 'get over' stuff.
It still sits there.

I'm assuming that what he/she meant is that going over the ****ty **** that happened to you years ago over and over again in your head just puts you into never ending cycle of pain and just let it go if it's just hurting you and keeping you from moving on.

-hip-hop is awesome

-your first kiss/time will most likely be with someone you care f*ck-all about and won't be that magical awesome sh*t that is hyped as it is
-commuting to college is not nearly as fun as living on campus :/
-confidence with women can go a LOOOOOONG way
-don't shoot waterguns at lightbulbs, unless you like facing exploded glass
