If you could go back in your life and change one thing, what would it be?

So pretty basic, if you could go back and change one thing in your life, what would it be?

This could be something career-oriented, personal relationships, hobbies/interests, etc. Curious to hear, especially from some of the 30+ crowd

Your GPA only means so much. Like, if you have under a 3.0 GPA, you're probably a moron. But once you're above a 3.5, it really doesn't matter, and it's not really worth the time/effort to stress out over your Roman Poetry gen-ed class to get an A in the course and maintain your 3.9 GPA when a 3.7 wouldn't have made a difference in your job prospects.

So I would go back and not make my life shit in my twenties just on the off-chance that I MIGHT be happy in my 40s, and I would live in the moment more and experience life.
