Watch your credit score, eat decent, get enough sleep, stretch, read real books, and develop a skill valuable to society (college, vocational training, military service, entrepreneurship, whatever). Save 10% of everything you earn in a dollar cost averaging strategy (Google that). Be nice to your mom. Congrats on adulting!

If you're a beautiful woman and 18, there are a lot of options open to you. You're probably aware of a lot of them. I don't want to get hate on here so I'll just say something PC like "Start saving more than you spend"
