This is a really good question. I wouldn't have checked out my senior year (my parents split up and my boyfriend cheated on me in the same week). I wouldn't have left school at noon every day. I would have gone to more dances. Lol, that's a lot of things.

It would probably be not breaking up with my first boyfriend. But then again, who knows how my life would be now. How could I give up my husband and child?

Tried harder. If I had put in like, 10% more effort, I could've been at the top of my class easily, but I had to worry about the next two changes I would've made: -Dropped my "best friends" for my "good friends" because my good friends have stuck around a lot longer and would have pushed me along more if I had invested my time with them instead. One of them is visiting me this weekend! One of my old best friends lives 5 miles from me now and we've met up twice. -I was totally invested in this one guy who was a total jerk to me, but I LOVED him, even though we got together and broke up every other month. I could've dated the popular guy from church or the goofy senior who ended up a pilot in the Air Force, but I couldn't get my head out of my ass.
You couldn't pay me to go back to high school. Hated it. But, if somehow I were forced to go back - I wouldn't change anything. Everything (even the bad stuff) is a part of who I am today and is a part of the path that led me to my current place in life. And I am extremely happy with my current place in life.
This is kinda how I feel about life in general. Like, I wouldn't change anything because who knows what kind of effect it would have on the outcomes.
i always think it would be nice if you could live parallel lives or at least get the chance to live your life over and over. You could get a chance to take all those different paths and not worry so much about the consequences or sacrifices.
I would give myself more confidence and care less about boys. I was pretty (didn't think so) but very hesitant and socially awkward, and desperate to have a boyfriend. My social life sucked because I lived in a podunk little town where I was considered a huge nerd, while I had a great group of friends from my all-girls school an hour away and couldn't spend much time with them outside of school. I wish I could've moved out of my hometown sooner, because I blossomed when I did. But those are logistics that would never change because of my dad's company.
I would skip my crushes. All they did was suck up energy and make me feel sad and lonely.

High school was okay for the most part. I dated idiots, I'd probably cross a few of those guys off the list. Worked less. Maybe run cross country - Running wasn't even on my radar in HS, but if I knew then how great running can be, I would have run cross country.
I sometimes wish I had at least applied to a university but I also feel like college just isn't for everyone, and maybe I'm one of those someone's. Will I ever make an assload of money? Nope. But I'm happy with my life.
I would have stayed away from a guy named Erick. I wasted 7 years of my life thinking the sun rose and set over him. I pushed away friendships because he was everything to me and it all crumbled in the end when he decided to break up with me over the phone.
I now understand why my mom was concerned with me putting too much into a stupid boy when I should be out having fun with my own friends.
