    If I had it to do over again, I would not have taken Algebra III and IV in the same year as Geometry sophomore year of high school. Big mistake! Really killed my GPA. I would have gone to a four year college out of high school rather than listen to my mother and attend the local diploma school of nursing. I flunked out of that program with 2 trimesters left. Then I think I would have gone to medical school OR maybe worked a year in med-surg and then became a traveling nurse and go to all of the great places that I'd love to visit but will probably never see as my husband is deathly afraid of flying.

    I was driving around today, listening to music that I'd made backing up one of the greatest singers I've ever known. I would have gone back in time and given a condom to the father of the evil SOB who ruined his career and life.

    I wouldn't have spent my 30's feeling OLD.

    I would have avoided some of the indiscretions of 1996-1999 (but not all of them).

    Love

    I probably would have been less of a misserable beast-child when I was a teenager. My parents like me again nowadays.

    I would like to say that I wish I had gone to college BEFORE I had children, but I didn't have any idea what I wanted to do back then.


    Other than that, I try to live my life with NO REGRETS! I can't handle all that emotional baggage!

    I would have continued w/ college and received my BSN instead of doing it now. Also i would have enjoyed my figure more back then.
