Do You Ever Wonder...

In a feeling sorry for myself, depresso moment, I got thinking...do you ever wonder what your life would be like if you'd done something differently either as a kid or in college or something like that? What if life really was like one of those "Choose Your Own Adventure" books? I mean, think about it, all those things that could have made a huge difference in some way (maybe for the better, maybe for the worse). Things like:

• Paying more attention in math/science/history class
• Not majoring in English
• Majoring in something that actually pays well/is respected
  
• Going out of state for undergrad instead of staying here
• Going to grad school for something more respected than english lit
• Not dating someone you dated
• Dating someone you didn't date
• Going abroad
• Not going abroad
• Being more outgoing
• Not being afraid of what other people think
• Participating in something new/out of the comfort zone
• Being happier just with the way things are
• Realizing a dream when you actually were young enough to do something about it
• Dropping negative people from your life sooner
• Realizing those people were negative influences
• Working out more
• Eating better
• Not letting yourself be walked on
• Following through with something instead of quitting
• Moving
• Not moving
• Saying what you really think instead of letting it fester

Obviously the list could go on and on. I dunno what prompted me on that thought path but it just sort of struck me. I mean, there are so many things that could have changed where we all are right now...I guess some people have a knack for picking better than others.
