I've thought about this for a bit, and if I had one do-over I'd probably want to see how things would have turned out if I had gone down a different path in college. I spent most of my high school time figuring that I was going to go on to an engineering degree of some sort, being in the advanced track in both science and mathematics... and then I took that one Accounting course my senior year and aced it. And that pretty much changed everything. Not that I regret it, mind you; I just wonder what life would have been like had I actually gone on to get that mechanical engineering degree.
Wouldn't have helped my creative writing, though.
