TGIF!!!!!!
What is the one thing that you never did in high school/college that you wish you would have done?
Believe it or not, I wish I had been a little more promiscuous back then. I was so self consous of my body that I didn't do anything sexually until I was 23 and with someone I really trusted. (BTW, that happens to be Chris, my partner now, but that was years before we entered into a serious relationship). I really feel that I missed out on some experimental fun.

I know this sounds weird, but I don't believe in regrets or things like that at all. Whenver you look back and think "If I had only done this differently" what people never think about is the ripple effects of that change in your path. You are the sum of your experiences. So I embrace all my bad, good, and lack of choices from my past.
I would love to say I wish had had done this, that, or the other a little more or less but I am very happy with the person I am on the inside right now and I would hate to think that would change if I gave up some of the stuff from my past.
The only thng I wish I could have done in high school was stood up for myself a little better. I was ridiculed a lot in high school, was kind of a geek, really. I don't think I would have wanted to be more "popular", but I wish I wouldn't have let people get to me as much as I did. But as Cam said, we are the accumulation of our past experiences and I like who I am now and wouldn't want that to change.
My senior year in college there was a new guy (hot, hot, hot BTW) in my program who became very friendly with me. I was still in the closet and scared to death to even think about trying to make a move on him although, in retrospect, he was sending all the right messages. I discovered several years later that the fraternity he pledged at our school was actually THE fraternity that all the gay guys joined. I sure wish I had been braver then.

I wish I would have been able to be a stronger person back then. I was very sensitive and really did care what people did and say way too much. I still care, but not as much. I really did not like myself in high school and I put blame on everyone else for my weight issues. I wish I would have been able to deal with things better.
