id have not left home when i did as my life was a downward spiral that took five years to get back after that

i wish i woulda been less scared on the decisions i was making

i wish i hadnt had that big sandwich at dinner time, oooh its sitting heavy now i tell you

I would have had way way way more fun in my 20's.

Heck ..... there's still time .... :clap:

i would have applied myself at school- i know i could have got far far better grades but i just didn't try!

err your still in your 20's.... still time!


i would... hmm this is hard, if you change anything you change your life now. im pretty happy with my life!

suppose looked after my finances at uni better

I wouldnt have used credit cards like they were monopoly money.

gutted :(

I would have concentrated at school on my work as much as I did boys, I'd have gotten A*s!

I'd have not worried about things that werent worth worrying about, which made me so upset at the time, but I don't even think of now!

I wish we could go back and change things, my list is a mile long!

i wish i kicked the **** out of bullies at school and got some confidence instead of withdrawing into myself and becoming a bit too shy coz of all the bad things being stuck in my head

Wish I'd have stood up for myself & been more confident at school, and in my early twenties appreciated the value of money more and not squandered it on utter crap !

I wish I'd slept with that famous person i met in London.

You can't just leave it at that....tell us who it was???:D

I would have been out of the house 5 minutes earlier on the morning of Thursday October 5th 1995, thus avoiding the idiot who drove a fully laden Transit van into my car, causing big injuries and (we think) my cancer, which has robbed me of my career, my independence, my ability to have children and every hobby I ever did.

i wish i hadnt ended up in a eating disorder clinc

I would've applied myself better at School, especially in Maths, not having a maths GCSE is affecting my suitability for even the most menial of office jobs nowadays :(

Sod science and all that rubbish, just gimme a bloody maths GCSE, but all the College courses charge like £200 plus exam fees, WTF?! :rant:

I'm only rich by name ya know.

I would have listened to what my mother told me....

Go get your Maths GCSE (http://my.sheffcol.ac.uk/index.cfm?PID=3732A3CA-D3DA-4F34-B378-51818C41A6FF&cmd=Course&Course=CEGMA1F) . Starts next week.

Science isn't rubbish either :) .

I would've grabbed more opportunities earlier on in my life. I've got more memories from the few months I've been at university than I have in some of my earlier years...

From school trips to First aid training, to learning instruments and taking an interest in sports... I just didn't bother... It'd have opened a whole new door to me... It's not too late though, I can do all these things now... and it just goes to show that my university years are gonna be the best, because I'm really getting involved in stuff I'd not normally have tried... I'm fancyfree... and I'm happy :D

I would have found a job earlier rather than dossing around on the dole after I graduated from University...then I'd have been in a better position to buy a house before the prices went stupid

Being born. Life's hard work and I'm damn lazy.

I wish I had bought my house 3 years earlier than I did. I was still on near enough the same money as I am now and the house would have been £45k cheaper.

I would not get into as much debt as I have :(

I would have gone to collage and done a course i enjoy or start working instead of staying on at a 6th form i dont like.

I would have grown some backbone and made a life for myself. Ive now lost all confidence in my ability and am too scared to stand on my own two feet:cry:

Turn back time to this morning ..... not gone to meadowhall and not spent a bloomin fortune :(

Well it I can't choose "relationships" then there is nothing that I can think of that I would change in my past.

Can't you do that now though Tess?

I wish i told my mum I loved her more

I wish I would have learned a trade then now I would be on my way to Australia to a way better life than we have in england now

it would be to not lose touch with someone that was important to me

I wish that I had never had that first drink.

i wish i'd known my best friend was living back in this country, 3 months before he killed himself xmas '97...

You can take things back

My entire childhood.

Not trying at school and been easily distracted

Arrrrr:( Just one?

I'd have never given up competing in weightlifting competitions... too late to go back now. :sad:

My sexuality.
Women are far too high maintainance and not really worht all the effort you put in to a relationship.

I would change some of the company In life I once had :mad:
It has took me long enough to realise but not everyone really has the intention of being a friend :(

Got clued up on the WWW earlier and bought loads of single word domain names like money.com back in 1996.

I wouldn't grow my mustache!.

Not trying at school and been easily distracted

I've now long been at the point of realising that, you are what you are now, and you are where you are now, because of all that you have experienced and acted upon.. etc... Which is obvious really!

(I think this becomes self-evident at about late 20's-30ish, when I've noticed people start to say, for example, 'I would like to have the knowledge that I have now, but be 20 again')

However, I think that I would also use this quote, as my 'one thing to change', because I think that I would be where I am now, but much younger! :hihi: - nearly same thing innit! :hihi:

-

Another reason why I quote this though, is that I'm confused at one particular aspect about my schooling [and schooling in general]. I'm better at subjects (Maths/Physics etc) where I had good teachers, who made things interesting!.. I haven't yet worked out whether this is coincidence, or whether I am just naturally **** at English and language based subjects [all of which I had teachers that didn't make things interesting], :huh:
