It seems I am the opposite on the college experience. I watched my parents react from home while my older brother was struggling in his first years of college and immediatley said that is not happening to me. I was over a 3.5 after the first year and pretty much dropped every year after that. By the end I was hardly going to class but still stayed over a 3.0.

As for a regret, nothing major but I wish I would have wrestled in high school. I played basketball up until 8th grade but didn't get to play much towards the end. I would have been a much, much better wrestler I think.

Gone into the Navy like I was planning to before college. If not that then actually apply myself in school(both high school and college). I skipped 75% of my classes my freshmen year lol.

I actually wish I hadn't tried as hard as I did in school. My employer didn't look at my grades.

The night of the date was also the night of the school play put on by my school which my sister had a big part. My parents made me go to the play since they always made my sister go to my sporting events. My blind date ended up being the actress and model Beth Ostrosky. She at one time was in a relationship with Howard Stern and I believe in 2002 she was voted one of the sexiest women in the Country. Oh well.


I'm calling major bullshit on this

Eh, I wouldn't. After all, it was a blind date, so she hadn't met him yet.

I doubt there would have been a second date, though. :D

I would have gone to the U. of St. Francis to play football instead of Grace College to play baseball.

In my early 20's I used to walk to work. Every Wednesday I would stop in the same Mom and Pop store and buy an instant lottery ticket a "1,000 bucks a week for life". I was running late one day and did not buy one. Someone bought a winning ticket that day, from that store, around the same time I usually stopped in to buy one. So my do over is to not walk past that store, but go in a buy a ticket.

Biggest do over I can think of right now in my life would be not breaking up with my ex. We were together basically two years. She treated me really good and would do basically anything for me. Reasons I broke up with her was because we both had some trust issues, even though they were basically for no reason. Also wanted to spend more times with my friends and I was going away for college and I just wanted to have more fun (with girls as well). Well about a year later I've had plenty of fun and still haven't found a girl that can come close to comparing to her. So right now I'm actually trying to get her back. I'd say its about a 50/50 chance (she has a boyfriend, but not very serious yet). She also seems to have different plans for her life than I do mine. I want to get away from where I'm from and she is wanting to stay here, I think mostly because of connections she has with her dad who is a known business man in the area (she is a real estate agent). So who knows if we got back together if it would even work out..but yea, I messed up.

Sorry for the book.

I would've played high school football.
I would say went to a different college, but then I'd never have met my fiance and more importantly never be a father to my son.

Id say my biggest would have to be, that i would have joined the USAF after HS, like i wanted to.

But, then again, I may never have met my wife, and would not have had my son. O well.

I never would have given that bong to Miley in exchange for sex if I knew she was going to get busted.

Would have took the desk job in the USMC that they offered me after I lost my leg.

I miss the Corps everyday.
