If you could go back to being 20......

If you could go back to being 20, what characteristic or belief would you instill in yourself to make your life better?

I'm only 26 so I really haven't made any mistakes yet. Here is what I would tell a 20 year old to do to prepare for the future. Work hard, save money, be close to your family and be nice. Its nice to be importand but more important to be nice. I find that if you are a good person, good things will happen to you. If you are pissed off all the time and lazy, your life continue to go that way.

That one's remarkably easy:
  1. never settle
  2. don't take too much shit thinking you deserve it
  3. don't take anything for granted

Never settle but don't take anything for granted?

Kind of an oxymoron, no?

I'm only 22, but if I could go back to 18, I would have told myself to take college more seriously and triple major in Finance, Accounting, and International Business, while maintaining at least a 3.6 GPA. I would have also spent my school breaks more wisely, travelling overseas and brushing up on my Mandarin or taking worthwhile internships instead of the worthless work I did; at least have taken some summer classes or read more.

I would have put more effort into college lol. But I'm only 22 so that was only 2 years ago for me and I did just graduate. Still, I would have made this past year so much easier if partying wasn't my number one priority lol

Two ME's? You don't need a time machine, just go down to the nearest hospital.


Fuck it, for a small fee ($1500) I'll do her wearing a doctor's uniform.

Here to help, don't mention it.

I'd ask them to hold the pickles on my hamburgers.....



"We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Natures inexhaustible sources of energy — sun, wind and tide. ...
