I would pick a different major.
I would be more empathetic in relationships.
I would hit the damn weights.
Spend less money on pointless stuff.

The only reason to go back would be if you could take your current knowledge with you. Otherwise you'd just live the exact same life over again.

Besides the obvious stocks or lotto, the only thing I'd change is using my current knowledge to get promoted at work faster, and avoid a few roadblocks I had along the way.

I would have different major, different college.

Was accepted to Columbia but the money/debt was obstacle.

Would just Borrow.

My majors first time were youthful interests. 2nd time would be for money and contacts.

Dump the bitch.

Also change majors. Wasted 5 years in Chemical Engineering before being forced to switch majors. At this point I could probably have my PhD in Coastal Science rather than working in a lab as a chemist.

I’d go back with a set of DVD’s, and player of course, of what life is about in 2018 and show it to the world so as to wake them the hell up. Without that, they wouldn’t believe me.

This is going to sound crazy...when I went off to LSU, the daughter of my father's college roommate was a freshman there also. My parents kept bugging me to call her up, so to humor them I talked with her on the phone a couple of times but we never got together. To this day I wonder what might have happened if I had followed through.

Mic drop.

When I was down to my last remaining grandparent, I pledged to myself I wasn't going to leave any opportunities untaken. For the last 10 years of her life, I made a point of visiting her at least twice a week, sometimes more. I miss her, but I don't have any regrets.

I was fortunate to live near all my grandparents when I was growing up. That experience is more precious to me than any material thing I could imagine.

I was working at chrysler, and they paid for any college courses you took.

I wish i would of taken advantage of it and taken HVAC,Auto Repair,Plumbing,etc. Knowing that shite is worth it's weight in gold.

Have a buddy who took a shite load of courses, and does all the work he needs, by himself. Doesn't pay a penny of labor. He even took some heavy equipment course, and did all of the landscape, and dirt removal(flatten the yard) on a rig he rented, and now has a sweet, deep, back yard, that they play whiffle ball and bbq ever weekend.

I would have left the state to go to school elsewhere, and taken what money I had at the time to invest in legit instrument and amp to play with bands on weekends. If I stayed in state, I would have done the same. I would have also married a different woman.

I made a major decision at age 18 which has affected my whole life. If I could I would go back and change that decision.

The investments i would have made back then would have me doing quite irresponsible things now days.

However, my instagram game would be on the legendary side.

Lots and i mean lots of smoke shows would make an appearance on my instagram
