High school: I would have tried to have more fun. A bit less emphasis on college prep and. Bit more emphasis on just being a kid.
College: I would have gone to a state school. Sure I got a reasonably good education at a private liberal arts college, but I could have gotten my sheepskin for less money and with subjective quality difference.
Here again - I was so focused on getting out into the world and making money, where I should have been working on becoming a more interesting person. Take that art class, take that dance class. Go to that kegger in the woods with your friends. Join the rec league basketball team, etc.

College: a decent small liberal arts program would have been much better than a huge state school. This isn’t to say the education itself would have been better, but for me it would have been a much better atmosphere to succeed in.
