Pay yourself first. No matter how small your income, save some of it--preferably by automatic deduction. Uncle Sam shears us of billions every year in this fashion. Out of sight really is out of mind.... Your older self will thank you one day because COMPOUND INTEREST IS YOUR FRIEND.
Within the limits of work-required decorum, be yourself. Whatever your interests, don't hide them. Sure, if you like country music and everyone else is an opera fan, they may rib you--but they're not the ones you want to find. You want to find the other country music* fans lurking beneath the surface like Superman hiding behind a pair of glasses.
