Day 23 ? Something you wish you had done in your life.

jaimebeth9 · November 2010

I wish I had taken college more seriously.

My whole life everything came so easy to me and I got good grades without even trying. I assumed it would stay the same in college and it may have if I had actually gone to class. I skipped so many classes it wasn't funny and sometimes just passed when I should have been acing things. Looking back now though I wish I were more focused and took more advantage of the college experience aside from the parties and social scene.

I wish I had studied abroad and become fluent in another language while doing so.

Sucks that I missed out on that.

I wish I had stayed in touch with the great friends I made during my 5 year bartending career. They were like brothers and sisters to me, and we just lost touch over the years and it makes me sad. Now, we're all in such different places in our life it's hard to reconnect.

I wish I had broken up with ex-boyfriend in high school, yes I learned a lot from that relationship, but he was an @ss and controlled by life for years and ruined a lot of my friendships. I'm still mad at him because he blames me for all our problems, I would still like to give him a piece of my mind even to this day. I'll admit that it secretly makes me happy that he still isn't married and has had relationship problem after problem. I'm bitter.

Mine is combination of Jaime and Claire's. I wish that I would have taken college more seriously. I would have rocked my GPA with more effort and class attendence. I also wish I would have taken advantage of studying abroad. I feel like I really wasted some great opportunities in college.

This pretty much.

I wish I would have dated a little more.

yep, that sums it up pretty well for me too.

I also wish I had taken advantage of the opportunities in college. I didn't put a whole lot of effort in, and I graduated, but I didn't do as well as I should have. I took advantage of the social scene to the fullest extent, but didn't travel abroad, think about what I wanted to do after etc. I wish I had thought about law school, I would have loved to be a lawyer..

It's not too late. Lots of people do this "later" on and you're still young, lady! You should look into it. Does your job do tuition reimbursement?

I agree. It is never too late.

I wish I had cared a little more in my first few years of college. I was having fun and taking classes that did not pertain to my degree. Maybe if I took it seriously, it would not have taken me almost 7 yrs to get a degree!

I wish I had waited to get married (1st marriage) and have a kid. Being 19 and 20 when all this happened was not the time for me to have made the jump to full adulthood. I should have lived life more and waited. The age I got married to Andrew (28) was perfect. By that time I was at a place in life that I felt I was ready. !9 and 20 was just too young for me. I regret not experiencing what all my friends did. I was pretty much alone because I was the only one married with a child. This has no reflection on how much } love my child. It's just an observation on my choices. And if I decide to not have anymore kids then I will have no kids in the home when I'm 38!

I wish I wouldn't have been in such a rush for the "next thing" in life. I'm a planner- so ever since I was a toddler, I was always looking forward to the future... a boyfriend, college, engagement, wedding, kids, etc.

Don't get me wrong- I have gotten everything that I want, and more- so I'm so blessed.... but I wish I would've listened to my mother when she would tell me "all of these things will happen for you- but don't rush them!! Enjoy the present...."

That being said, I'm trying to live more in the NOW now that I'm a mom...

I wish I would have thought more about what I wanted to do in life and not just go to college for the "cool" thing to do. I went for Massage Therapy. I also wish I would have dated while in high school. I didn't have my first real boyfriend until I was 19.
I also wish I would have had a better relationship with my parents when I lived at home. Now with them both being gone I regret not having much in common with them and not spending much quality time with them. I don't have many memories of us together, besides family gatherings.

I wish I had waited to get married...22 was too young (hence it not lasting) I am so happy now and was in the right place to be married when I married Rick...I just wish it had been my first wedding and not my second...
