The best years of your life is not right after school. Particularly if you are a guy. For a guy, the best years of your life are your 30's. 40's can be pretty good, too.
Stay away from getting tangled up with sex/women/relationships. Make money. Save - for God's sake - save some money. Find a job that you can live on. Avoid debt.

Even if this is in response to someone else's question, I have a few things to say for anyone else who happens to read this.
High school is nowhere near the "best days of your life". Anyone who says that peaked in high school, which is kind of sad. Those sorts of people usually have trouble moving on as people into adulthood, and try to ride their high school status through life. It drives me crazy when people say this, because it does absolutely nothing to help a young person who is struggling with depression in their teens. I remember being told when in the depths of depression that I was in the best years of my life: is it any wonder that I was suicidal, if the best years of my life were a living hell?
High school sucks because you have next to no say in your own life. You feel like an adult, but in the end your decisions are always subject to approval by parents, teachers, or other people over the age of 18. It's not surprising, then, that teenagers often feel helpless and hopeless.
I'm approaching 26 years old now, and I can say with complete honesty that life has improved every single year.
Every year, you'll find yourself having more choices to make. This is a two-sided coin: on one hand, it lets you have some control over your own destiny, but you also have to deal with the consequences of your own decisions. This can be hard, but it means that you have a chance to become a better person with every trial that you face.
At 16, there's still a lot ahead of you. When you're in high school, you're pretty much limited to dating, popularity contests and trying to get into a good college. Later in life you have bigger challenges to face, with a higher payoff for each one. You start to make decisions about your career, your long-term love life, your health and your home. It sounds like a burden, but it's actually pretty fun in a way. You start to get along better with your parents as you move from a dependent relationship into being an independent adult. You learn more about who you are as a person through trial and error.
At 16, I was miserable. I hated myself, I hated everyone else, and I couldn't see a future that was any different. It does get better over time, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
