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?

Probably study abroad.
student-athlete
Tried harder frosh year. I just failed on a few fronts.
Not gotten a philosophy degree.
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
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.
This..
I second study abroad. I sacrificed studying abroad to be a student athlete but I know going abroad would have been a tremendous experience
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
My 1220 SAT was the highest in my class lol'd. Went to an ultra bad high school
Accepted my former coaches offer to get me into a college baseball program.
Lol I got a 1420 on my SAT and I thought I did pretty bad
Both of you should go jump off a bridge.
Was that really necessary?
Well it wasn't good enough to get into the Ivies I applied to, so I consider it shit!
I would have loved to have studied abroad. The UK elite colleges are quite stuffy.
would have done computer science instead of finance
