If you go back in time....?

Question

.. to the age 18 what would you do differently? or what would you not change?

Answer 1

I would not skip school. I would spend more time with my parents. I would kick a guy's a**....

Answer 2

I would probably join the Air Force instead of the Marine Corps and bargain with them until I get a sign-on bonus.

Or just start full time in the meat warehouse I used to work at, it was a good paying job for a high school graduate.

Answer 3

to be honest i had a h**l of a year at 18, both good & bad experiences. I'd really like to list the things I would have done differently, but then again without those immature deeds i wouldn't have learnt anything and wouldn't  be where I am today, so no I would not change anything if i could go back.

My biggest shame (not 'mistake', as mistakes give me lessons) is that I treated everyone with my whole heart, and that i believed too soon. That's a shame because I avoided the fact that teachers DO favor, friends DO calculate, couples DO break up, and life is not like in Bob Marley's songs.

Answer 4

I don't think I would change much.

Maybe the way I treated my parents. Teenagers can be horrible to their parents and I was little miss independent and didn't need anyone to take care of me.

By the time I was 23 I realized what a jerk I had been to them and now I call them every once in a while just to apologize.

Answer 5

Save every dime and invest in duplexes.

Answer 6

I'd stay away from drugs.  I'd also break up with my girlfriend ...she became my 1st wife.

Answer 7

I would change my degree course from accounting to medicine!

Answer 8

Take up the physical exercise I demonstrated in my 30's, go to a freaking college and get a hard science degree, work on getting a pilot's license, maybe train to be an astronaut, and would've been a helluva lot more careful in picking a wife.

Provided I still got to keep my memories from this timeline.

Answer 9

iwould  raise some h**l. I was always too shy then

Answer 10

I would go to college right out of high school instead of waiting 3 years. Oh, and I never would have started the job I've been stuck at for 6 years...Blah.

Answer 11

I would invest every dollar I could wrangle in internet technologies and wireless communication stocks, maybe some Exxon too.
