What did, or didn't, you do, that you've thought about changing? Is there anything you can do about it now?
I know now that if I had more guts, I would've changed my major from Sociology to Jewelry in my Junior year when I discovered how much I :heart: Jewelry & Metalsmithing. I want to go ahead and take more classes, but my schedule is all wonky and I haven't been able to fit one in.
I also had the chance to take my Junior year in college in Spain. Sometimes I wish I had, but I was having too much fun with my friends at home to want to leave. I'd also like to take some more Spanish classes now so I can get back what I lost and continue to improve.

I would have studied Chinese instead of Japanese, and economics instead of advertising.
Anticor, you can live vicariously through me.
Give me some requests, and I'll see if I can get some pictures for you.

If I was still single I'd be on my second cycle of primo and I'd be a complete gym rat. As it stands now I just don't have the hours in the day to do the body building I want. Plus she's too damn good of a cook and I have no will power for food so cutting up is out of the question with her.
I wish I would have had more time while I was in the Marines to get my degree. I hate that a stupid piece of paper dictates what jobs I can get. Fuck experience, fuck knowledge, leadership training, managment experience, etc. If I'm not a college grad I can't get the job I want and that bites hard because the kids I see in that position haven't even met the real world yet.

I would have a lot more drunken sex.
No seriously. There's too much shit to list here.
I would've studied Anthropology instead of Psychology.
More dating, less relationships.

I'd have gone to med school and not been lazy and opted for sociology, although I know I can apply as a mature student if I wanted, I probably won't.
I'd probably make more of a go at a relationship with my Father, I really think it's too late now though.
Id definitely not have wasted all the compensation money I got from my car accident.

I would have never started playing Gemstone.
And I would have done better in High School.
And stuck with a sport or activity as a child.

Not given up on baseball. Sure, it was probably going to be an exercise in futility, but now I'll never know.
Also, I would rather have gotten my driver's license at some point.
I would have taken school more seriously. It was just too fucking easy, but I would have definately devoted half an hour a day to get those d's to A's.
I would have been alot smarter with girls when I was younger (read: I definately woulda fucked alot more, but I also woulda gone after the ones I really liked)
I woulda done even less than I did to fit in. Fuck em.
I woulda rode my boy ray-ray's ass a lil more so he didn't have 9 bullet holes and a Pine box suit right now.
I would have stood up to my father alot sooner than I did.
I'd probaly have about 5 more KIA's under my belt right about now.
...upon further comteplation I probaly wouldn't want to fuck with it simply because I'm lucky to be alive and out of jail and I'm not into tempting fate.
Oh, and thanks Latrin. Never quit baseball, Everyone who was on the same team as me is already drafted or going to school on a full ride. Part of me wants to take it back up but with how many times I've broken my hand I don't see it happening.

I would had been more careful playing basketball with friends, and avoided blowing out my left knee, which kept me from competing as a walk-on at UofMichigan.
I would also have played on the HS football team. I had more talent than I gave myself credit for.
I would had the guts to ask certain girls out, when I still had the chance.
I would had gone to medical school at UofMichigan to become a veterinarian.
.
One thing for sure... that I think everyone needs to remember... is that if one was go change something in their past, it'll change a lot of other things as a result of it, as Life's path would change dramatically.
Particularly how if you were to undo a mistake, you may also forget (or never learn) the lesson...
I would have never discovered the magic of eatting hostess snack foods.

I would have taken out loans and gone to Johns Hopkins as a premed instead of the school I'm at now as an accounting/finance major.
I'd also like to go back to that day in 7th grade when I was riding the bus home and one of the ghetto girls who you know is going to end up with a kid by 16 asked me what was in my pocket, and I said, "My calculator." It took like 2 years to register what she was getting at. Ugh.

I'd call Nasa and warn them about an applicant named Drew and point them to this website.

He's not an applicant, he's got the JOB, man. He's in control. In the driving seat of the spaceship.
You should be worried, Wezas.

First of all, never, ever regret not going to U of Michigan.
Aside from that....
I keep thinking "I would never have.. oh wait, then I wouldn't have this, or done that."
I'm happier than I've ever been, so I guess I wouldn't change anything, realistically. There are things I would have done sooner, though. You wouldn't believe how fast 35 comes around.

I definately would have not dropped out of high school, went on to play baseball at LSU and would be making more green than A. Rod. right now.
I would not have gotten married because there was a child on the way, even if I was trying to do 'the right thing'.
I wouldn't have taken all that shit on graduation night that resulted in the death of one of my good friends.
There are a lot more, those are just the major ones.

Yeah, I probably would have checked my old car's oil when I got it out of the shop (it was in there because of a bad computer). It had a oil leak before I put it in the shop, but I figured if 4-5 quarts of oil leaked out onto the ground someone would have mentioned something to me. And I was going to check it when I got home.
2 blocks later I realized that it had no oil.
My dad had his oil changed once. They drained the old oil and failed to put more oil in. Ruined his engine. So, yeah, always check.

Or attended its medical school instead of its "liberal arts program".

Lets see, if I could rewind:
I would have gone to school straight through and done well, so my parents would have paid for it. I also would have majored in Performance, instead of what my parents wanted, Music education.
I would have stayed in New York and sang in the opera much longer, and the touring company of Phantom even longer.
I would have spent more time with my dad, if I had known he was going to die so young.
I would have made sure to never meet my ex-boyfriend, and avoided the whole abuse thing.
I would have been more outgoing as a teenager. I was too book smart, and I didn't learn to have a normal teenage life, since I was afraid to make my parents mad.
