But perhaps asking her out will avert the Darfur genocide!
I would have gotten into health occupations about 15 years ago instead of trying for years to get full-time work as an English professor.
I would have picked a different family to be born in.
Make love to Mary, the sweetest, prettiest, dumbest girl that has ever offered herself to me. I still hope to do it some day, even if she’s 80.
I would have gone to college directly from High School, instead of two years at the local community college. I regret not having two years at the university - I could have really benefitted from the maturity.
I would’ve either gone to Europe or straight into college after high school, instead of immediately joining the Air Force. And I never would’ve sent that email to Lauren.
I would have tried to get into some study-abroad programs while I was in college so that I’d have had an opportunity to travel more when I had the time. Now it feels like there are so many places I want to go but I don’t have the freedom I had back then.
Not wasted so much of my time at Harvard totally coked out and drunk. I missed a lot of opportunities, both academic and social, because I was convinced that doing drugs and drinking were the reason I was there, rather than having the opportunities to study with some of the greatest minds in their fields.
I would have asked Anna-Marie out, that time I was staying over at her parents’ place.
Averting the Darfur genocide by causing the Chinese invasion 35 years early isn’t quite what I had in mind. 
And if preventing the Darfur genocide means I have to get run over and killed 20 or 30 years ago, well sorry, they’re just going to have to lump it.
I wouldn’t have married my ex. I’d still be where I am today, but I wouldn’t have wasted the time, drama, and energy on my ex.
Biochemistry, not business, two years sooner than I did.
Would save me a few headaches right now. Pretty minor on the grand scheme of things, but the collection of knocks I’ve received has tempered a pretty hoopy frood, so there you have it.
I’m pretty happy with my life, but out of pure curiosity, if I could change one decision, I’d either have gone to college, or not gotten involved with my ex. Actually, I think the latter is winning out, just because without divine intervention, you can generally do what you haven’t, but you can’t undo what you did.
