How to be smarter?
Are there any specific books I should read or things I should experience? It's a vague question but for anything in general, what can I do to be smarter?

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
The best way to get smarter? Stay in school. Hah.
Anyway, I find reading books can assist you gaining a higher vocabulary. If you read a word you don't understand, don't be afraid to look it up. See if you can apply it in a conversation.
I'm not saying big words make you smart, though. Being smart doesn't mean using large words outside of others vocabulary, just know what you're talking about, look things up you don't understand, and soon you'll notice you get a lot of the stuff going on around you.

Read as much as you can. Read as *widely* as you can - the greatest variety possible. I'd suggest paying particular attention to older books - English vocabulary has become much more simplistic in the past few decades.
Experience as much as you can, except for things that can really hurt you.
Everything is a learning experience. If you approach life that way, you'll be amazed at how much you can learn from everything and anything.
Train your memory. Practice memorizing things - songs, poems, facts. A powerful memory is half of what intelligence is. And it's an incredibly useful tool.
And, most of all, think. Thinking is a habit that you can develop and train. Try to figure out why things happen, and what it would be like if they were different.
Good luck!
