What was I thinking????
Mine was piercing my nose at 15.. It wasn't too bad bc I only had a tiny. tiny diamond stud, but it was stupid bc I couldn't keep it for long, being that I had to take it out everytime I entered my house! Wasn't worht the pain.. mind you.. my friends and I did it ourselves!

I wish that I had followed my heart and had gone for Education instead of Therapeutic Recreation. Now I'm planning on going back for Education once I get accepted.

ohhhhh easy one for me. Where I went to college my freshman year. I chose between 2 schools and my mom for some reason really wanted me to go to 1 of them and I loved the other one. I should have listened to my mom.

It's a very long involved story but basically I had a horrible year there and so I transferred to the other school and LOVED it there for the rest of my college years. I am still close to all my college friends.

So 'what was I thinking' when I went to that school freshman year?!?

Then again if I didn't I don't think I would have met my friends (they're all a year behind me since I was a transfer student) so I guess everything happens for a reason

I wish I had gone into education like I wanted to right from the beginning. Now I'm 331/2, newly married and looking to start a family. I will finish my masters in ED in a year and 1/2 (right around the time we want to start a family). If I had gone into ED right away, I would be set in a job, be able to take some time off to raise a family and have a job to go back to. Now it's all up in the air how things will go. I guess at least I will have my schooling done and then I can look for a job when I am ready. If I would have majored in ED and gone right into teaching I would be 10 years closer to RETIREMENT!!!!!!

I wish I finished college. Instead I went for 2 semesters. I also wish I had stayed in touch with old friends.

There are a few...

1. I wish I went to college.
2. I wish I didn't have so much credit card debt when I was in my late teens/early twenties...that was a very stressful time!!!
3. I wish I never smoked.

Re: What is one thing you look back on and say...

I wish I had never started smoking

I wish that I would have stuck with college and I would have been a full fledged teacher by now

I wish that I didnt waste a year of my life with a total jerk when I could have been with my dh even sooner

I wish that I would have told my moms fiance what he truly meant to me all those years ago so he would have known way before he passed away.

I wish I didn't take the crummy job I'm in the middle of.

I wish I majored in marketing in College instead of History and Political Science.

I wish I didn't get myself into credit card debt.

I wish I'd saved more money, gotten into teaching sooner and didn't waste as much time dating losers ( I was a $h1t magnet!). But I view everything as having brought me to where I am now, which is the happiest I have ever been!

Re: What is one thing you look back on and say...

i wish i could say i wish i hadn't gotten into credit card debt....but if i hadn't, theni wouldn't have had to move back home and then i wouldn't have met FH....so credit card debt was a good thing for me!!!

it also taught me how to budget my money and now i'm a reformed credit card-aholic
