with all the graduations and such right now, i was asked what i would do differently if i could go back and have a do over from graduation forward. interesting. i made some incredibly STUPID choices along the way to becoming an 'adult', so yeah, i'd like to think i could do better next time around, although i suppose all those 'choices' made me a better person in the long run. but, to play along, here goes:
1. put some thought into choosing a major or just be 'undecided' for a year. i wasted time swapping around for two years.
2. realize the importance of college in relation to job-related experiences and take advantage of more of them.
3. enjoy college for what it was and leave high school and that drama behind.
4. in relation to 3, dump the high school boyfriend before i got there. for both our sakes.
5. in relation to 3, don't try to make old friends and old boyfriends into something they aren't and just calm the hell down.
6. go abroad for junior year
7. live on my own longer
8. exercise better judgement in social situations
9. don't eat so freaking much crap food
10. appreciate and enjoy every minute of college.
all in all, i cannot complain, really. i had a great experience, i made lifelong friends, i 'traveled' (chattanooga, virginia, connecticut, gatlinburg, lmao) with friends and had great times, i ended up with a fantastic job, i met my husband...it's all good in the end, right?
