18 years old me would have been pissed I changed my career trajectory. I went from pre-med to chemical engineering when I was 19. 18 yo me was a fat, squishy blob. Doubt he could kick my arse now.

Most proud of: Raising my kids. My dad abandoned us at an early age

1) Going to McNeese for my degrees

2) having 3 awesome kids and surviving some major surgeries and a high grade dysplasia diagnosis. And being 60 lbs lighter and in good shape.

arse kicking: Wasting four years of my life on a meteorology degree.

Im now teaching high school math and having to waste more money trying to get certified when I could have just done education undergrad.

Most proud: leaving Louisiana

I would kick my 18 year old self in the balls because he is fighting too much and doesn’t realize he will soon commit two felonies and very narrowly escape getting caught to only end up in the military to get out of town for a while.

He would be proud of me now because i ended up pretty dang well and live very comfortably

They’d be pissed at where I work, as I had convinced myself I would never work at the same employer as my dad. Things change when the market for your degree drops due to the economy.

OTOH, they would be pleased that I am much happier and self confident than I was at 18. That wasn’t a great time in my life for a few reasons.

Proud of:
Man you’ve got a great paying job, you’re in your forever house, have a loving wife and 2 kids before you turned 31? That’s awesome.

Disappointed:
My god you’re fat and out of shape. Go for a fricking jog

What would I tell 18 year old me:
Drink more often in college but drink less. You don’t have to black out every night

Not investing in netflix or boeing.

Get rid of that gf you have she will be a PIA for the next two years

Word of advice: buy as many 964 & 993's as you can

Look forward to living in New Orleans, meeting your wife, preparing to build a family, developing a business (shocked you finished college in 4 years)

Getting married, having kids, enjoying yard work.


Would probably be most proud of the fact I no longer have to look for quarters in couches to buy beer on the weekend.

Kick my butt for cutting my hair.

Be most proud of finding a great woman, having a respectable career, and still having the freedom and desire to do things I want to do all at once. Who could ask for more?

They wouldn't, I'd kick his arse and tell him not to dick around career wise his whole 20s.

He'd be stoked about his to-be hot wife, finally leaving Louisiana, and eventual good career.
