If a genie appeared and granted you the opportunity to redo your college years...

[her209]

What would you do different?

 

[Brainonska511]

I just started college, so I guess I'll come back to this thread in 10 years.

 

[minendo]

Nothing

 

[monk3y]

I probably would have tried to get into research a lot earlier than I did. I'm really happy with my major and the grades I got (though they weren't that great).

 

[Ultralight]

I'd go back and stop myself from making a particular move in a soccer game that resulted in an ACL tear and subsequent reconstructive knee surgery.

 

[apologetic]

I'd party with the right people

 

[sixone]

I'd swat the little tard who told me that a CS degree would be a waste of time, because there would be more IT people than jobs by the time I graduated. And then I'd get that degree.

 

[Kaido]

Work first, play later. I would have started with that work ethic. Luckily I still have several years left

 

[JS80]

Not go to UCLA and take that scholarship to USC.

 

[Aztech]

Oh man, I would change majors, and go after women like a mad man!

I dream of Genie!

 

[phisrow]

I'd not spend two years too depressed to function.

be the age your mom would do me.

 

[JackBurton]

Fvck yeah I would? I'd ditch school, work my ass off and dump all my money in Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, and Amazon stock.

Didn't get accepted at CAL?

 

[puffff]

my first thought would be work harder and get better grades, so i could've had a head start on my career. maybe i wouldnt' have been unemployed for the first six months out of school then, and i wouldn't have bounced around from job to job trying to see where i really fit in.

but had i had a great job right out of school, i might've never been disillusioned enough to quit and travel, to see and have life changing experiences all over the world, and come back a changed person. career-wise, i've landed on my feet and am doing fairly well for myself now, and even though i'm a couple rungs behind people my age on the corporate ladder, i dont consider those years wasted.

not that i'm advocating goofing off in school, just in my case, i dont think i'd change a thing.

Finished my accounting BA instead of switching to psychology, not move out of the dorms (big mistake for me), stand up to my first roommate who took over the room never left (even on weekends) except for class (oh, and I'd make him stop playing music 16 hours a day... he had only two CDs, Boys to Men and Hootie and the Blowfish).

I didn't even apply to Cal. I did not want to live in that shvthole called Berkeley. Also afraid of anal rapage, both of the liberal and literal kinds.

 

[BRObedoza]

would have dormed it instead of commute

 

[Noema]

More sex, less library

 

[StevenYoo]

i would have studied more

YES! And I would play the song "Louie Louie" more often.

 

[Atheus]

I would have actually done some work in my second year, thereby getting a 1st.

I'd graduate... hey, Genie what happened to my other two wishes?
