I wish I’d gotten help for my anxiety disorder while I had access to health insurance in my early 20’s.

Had better work and fitness.

Definitely go to college before having kids. I’d also encourage you to travel, and have fun. I’m in my 40’s now, and although I went to college and obtained my degree before having kids, that was like my singular focus. I was married by 21 and had my first baby by 23.

Obviously I’d never regret my three daughters. I just wish I’d gone mountain climbing, bungee jumping, skydiving, traveling, scuba diving the coral reefs, learned how to ride a horse and maybe become a cowboy… etc

For sure I could 100% do any and all of those things now… but that would take energy, and time off from work, and who knows the nextlevel shenanigans my now 3 teenage daughters would get up to while mom’s on a midlife -existential -fact finding mission…

Oh… yeah… listen to the flossing advice too. Dental pain can be excruciating.

I got a degree and took a lot of drugs. But I think I should have been more sensitive and treated people better. That said, I believe your twenties is truly about being a dick so you can learn why being a dick is not a good idea in Capital Letters for the rest of your life.

(I’m literally 40 today, have a wife and a son, and main concerns are getting the shopping done on time and playing digital board games)

I wish I didn’t fear getting old back then. I felt old at 23, 25, and 28 and dreaded reaching my 30s. It made me feel it was too late to do things and made me settle for less way too many times.

I am in my early 30s now and no longer give a fuck. You are only as old as you think you are. I’m now trying to get started on things I wish I had done in my 20s, and hoping I reach my potential a decade from now.
