Whats one thing you would change.....?

  • chicago510
    About your current life, or about yourself?

    I would switch schools from Cincinnati to OSU to be closer to my family and gf (who I plan to marry).

    About myself, I wish I was better in certain social situations. I'm a shitty public speaker, etc.

    I would have majored in engineering. That's about it.

    Not much - but I've had fifty years to get things to where I want them. :D

    Nothing because if I did I would not be the man I am today..........

    About my life- I would somehow move my family closer to where I am. Will never happen, as they are happy in Ohio, and I'm very happy in Oregon, it just sucks only seeing them 3-4 times a year...
    About myself- I'd give myself the willpower to be in the same room as cake and not turn temporarily insane and act like I'm trying to win a contest for biggest glutton...

    Not much I can change now, but if I were to do it all over again, I would NOT major in Education. I'm not sure if I would even go to college. If I could go back to being 18 years old, I think I would attempt to make the "big leagues" in basketball officiating. D1 or NBA.

    If I were to go to college, I'd major in something business related, and probably NOT go to shitty BGSU.

    You would change your career? sounds like a big fuck up being out of college barely a year.


    As for me.. If I could change one thing, it would be my parents covering my costs for college. I will have approximately 50k debt when I am done. I know it could be a lot worse, and I am confident I won't have a problem paying it back. It's just the one thing I have in life that I worry about right now.

    On the other side, me paying for all of my college costs and bills at such a young age probably will pay off better for me in the future with money management.

    Maybe be on better terms with some of my ex's.
    Overall, I'd say I have it pretty good.

    If I could do it over again, I wouldn't have quit playing baseball my freshman year. I also would have stayed and finished college instead of stopping with a year and a half left. I know I can always go back...but not graduating with all of my friends is something I think I'll always regret.

    No idea. More than a teacher! lol

    Nothing big. I possibly would have chosen not to play college football so that the knee replacement(s) would not be necessary or at least deferred.

    Not shabby.

    Only thing I would change was the wreck I was in back in 93. Losing a friend is something that weighs on you for awhile.
  • wildcats20
    I would have finished my degree where I started it. Had I done that, everything else would have been different.

    I would have probably gone to college, I would maybe make as much money as I do now, but hopefully not have to work as hard as I do.

    I would have pursued my second wife when I was younger ( We met at an early age, but never got together, then after we both were divorced from our first spouses we hooked back up.)

    I would find a way to bring my older son back from the dead.

    I'd have a full-time job! That's the number one thing I'd like to change. I am tired of getting by on nothing while having debt hang over my head.

    I wouldn't change my college choices, I just would change the things I did during the summer -- like doing something that would've actually prepared me for my career instead of just "making money." If I did that, I'd probably be better off now. But, those are the things you learn as you go through things. The reason why I am doing what I am doing by trying to help college kids now.

    1) Ran XC in college

    2) Move overseas about 5 years earlier

    I would have saved my child support that I got every month from 15-18 instead of blowing it all as soon as I got it on alot of shit I didn't need.

    I would have gone to medical school. Not that I'm unhappy with where I am. I will be attending graduate school with a tuition waiver as a teaching assistant. But if I knew I would be in school as long as it would have taken me to be a medical doctor, I would have pursued that.

    There are things I've said to people that I wish I could take back. I was really an insufferable douchebag when I was younger. Now I'm just a marginally sufferable one, so I guess that counts as progress.

    I wish I wasn't so fat so COA would stop making fun of me

    What are you studying if you don't mind me asking. Medical school is a tough, tough grind. Thank god this year is over.

    No, I wouldn't change careers. I'd still be doing what I'm doing, but I could respect myself better at night.
