If you could redo your life, what would you do differently?

not split up with my girlfriend when i was 19. although doing that indirectly led me to be where i am today.

gone to a different college, as mine turned out to be dogshit in the final year.

waited for a taxi a couple of years ago, instead of walking and getting the shit booted out of me by some cunts in a car with nothing better to do at 3 in the morning.

you should also try not to second guess yourself though. one thing leads to another, and eventually gets you where you want to be. i find it pointless pondering on ‘what if…’ scenarios.

go with your gut feeling kid. if it seems right at the time, i say fuck it + do it.

hows that for cliches?

Spent more time with my dad, and both grandfathers. Three very competent men that I could have learned a lot from.

Finished my degree faster. I could have finished it in 4 years, instead of 6.

Gone out with Michelle & Heather in high school. And kept in touch with them after graduation.

Develop better eating habits early.

I still would have:

Dated the lovely lady that is now my wife.

Had children when we did.

Never tried illegal drugs or smoking.

I would have become an exchange student during my high school years and experienced the world.

Then I would have joined the Army and traveled after high school.

Met the man of my dreams. Settled down after a long engagement.

Got married and never had children.

I would be more spontaenous. I would take more risks. I would learn to trust more. I woulnd’t be so hard on myself. I would wear sunscreen.

And I would live happily ever after.

I would have stood up for myself more! (stayed with a crappy, abusive boyfriend FAR too long)

I would have taken more risks! (In college and life, generally)

I would not have started smoking! (Started this socially in HS, led to addiction)

I am only 29… so I guess it’s not too late to start doing all these things :slight_smile:

I would have asked her out.

Age 14 (end of eighth grade, registering for ninth grade): I would have registered for Art History (fall semester) and Creative Writing (spring semester) in ninth grade, instead of Homemaking (fall semester) and Health (spring semester). I would have taken Health in summer school, since it was such an easy class.

Age 18 (beginning of freshman year of college): I would have registered for an English major, with a triple minor in French, Latin, and German, instead of a pre-med Biology major.

I did get to take art history and creative writing in tenth grade, and I enjoyed them. I only wish that I had taken the two classes a year earlier.

I eventually became an English major anyway. I regret that I wasted my time on extra science and math courses that were required for a B. S. in Biology degree but not for a B. A. in English degree.
