Hindsight.

Having hindsight and being able to look back at your past. Is there anything you wish you could have done but didnt. For me I wish I would have gone to a boarding school for jr high and high school level. This might seem odd or strange but to me I think the experience would have been invaluable to my personal growth.

What about you all? Is there anything you wish you would have done in your youth that you didnt?

 

Not gotten a philosophy degree.

“...all truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” - Schopenhauer
 

No regrets, I am who I am today because of my past and I'm happy with the way I turned out, even if I could have been making 100k a year right now. I learned a lot outside of the classroom and have thoroughly enjoyed my life thus far.

**disclaimer: the "butterfly effect" is probably a huge determinant in my answer also ha

If your dreams don't scare you, then they are not big enough. "There are two types of people in this world: People who say they pee in the shower, and dirty fucking liars."-Louis C.K.

I do not regret what I did, just saying I would have liked to have done that looking back at my youth

Ivy -> OCS -> JD -> fuck you

I'm kind of happy the way things turned out, but I'm not one of those dipshits that says they would do it all over again. Knowing then what I know know, I'd be a multimillionaire and running for Congress.

Prepared for the SAT's.

"For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry God. Bloody Mary full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of my death, which I hope is soon. Amen."
 

went to a better high school and prepared more for SATs...my graduating class had like 65 kids and average SAT score of 900/1600 so my 1350 seemed fucking amazing, even tho it was really shit. Also we only had 4 AP courses available.

Probably wouldn't have picked math/physics as my major...too much work to keep a high GPA ( >3.6) and certainly wouldn't have been a student-athlete...waste of time
