If you could hit the reset button on life, what would you do different?

Really shocking to see how many of yall would have skipped college. Unsure what I would have done. Had I known the cost I may have thought much harder about it:lupe:

A lot of things. I don't know if my future would be as good or better than it is now though. Sometimes, the grass is not greener on the other side.
1. There was this really attractive Italian girl in college. I was too chicken to ask her out. She was nice to me as we were in the same group project in my senior year. She was above my league though. Don't know if asking her out would have made a difference.
2. Start refereeing in ice hockey in my early 20s. I wasn't good at ice hockey but I could skate well. I think I would have gotten a leg up starting early in the whole refereeing direction. Maybe could have ref'ed in college or semi-pro or even NHL. That would have been cool.
3. I should have never thrown my tennis racket when I screwed up playing recreational tennis. One throw tore my labrum, I didn't know it at the time. It was stupid and my shoulder is ruined now.
4. Maybe I should have joined the boy scouts after I left the cub scouts. Those uniforms were the bomb. Just chickened out. I was afraid of camping. I ain't white or anything like that.
5. I should have chosen percussion instead of viola. facepalm of the century.
6. I don't know what else. There are too many what-ifs. There was this one dude at college, he had his sights set on flying jets in the military and he did it. He was focused and did better than me in classes. He was doing NROTC and taking on a full class load. Right before graduation, he got the news he was going to get to flight school for jets. Me, I was going home to look for a job and be unemployed. I had considered joining the Army via OTC to become an officer, but again, I didn't like camping in the outdoors and I know being in the Army means you have to do some camping.

I would tear up some p*ssy good and proper, heck bytches would need a wheelchair after I am done. I remember I got so many offers of p*ssy but being shy and sometimes missing the hints girls were throwing my way. Dont get me wrong I am still getting that p*ssy left right and centre but back then I could hit that young jail bait thing without Mr popo paying me a visit.:shaq:

2 things that i KNOW changed the course of my life:

  • when i was 21, i wouldn't have stopped living in my own apartment ALONE to get an apartment with my homeboy to help him out financially. i went into that situation with about $9k in the bank and 6 months later, my account was overdrawn and i had a broken lease under my belt :snoop::wow:. i struggled financially for a LOOOOONG time after that. took me a hot minute to recover.
  • i would have taken my relationship with my girlfriend (now wife) more seriously (i was 21 then too). i was a complete dikk to her while dating and i'm pretty sure it caused a shift in her attitude towards me. she used to worship the ground that i walk on and i took advantage of that and manipulated the situation as much as possible (i was on my 'bytches ain't shyt' mode then). we STILL struggle sometimes over the shyt i did back then.
you a real dude bruh

My biggest regret so far is not believing in my self sooner and wasting so little time doing nothing. I'm talking about sitting around and letting every opportunity pass me by, letting life pass me by on some bum shyt. But now I go for what I want. I'm not waiting on nobody to let me shine imma go get me mine.


I wish I could spend more time with my family that passed on. One of my last moments with my older cousin but thankful it wasn't my last is telling him I hate em all cus he wouldn't let a lil nikka play the game, smh sum stupid shyt man.I miss him tho, I just sit and wonder how he would a turned out, wished he could of seen and been here for his brothers and sisters, especially his momma... that's life tho.my aunt and uncle that's passed. I never told em I love em. I regret that... wish I could talk to my uncle .alot of wisdom. ..wish I could kiss my great grandma on the cheek one last time. The last time I saw her alive (two days b4 she passed) She seem so at peace.... i guess to answer your question I wouldn't waste so much time and spend more time with my family...With the people who truly Matter

where they cross-over and clap boards
Growing up I've always made pretty good decisions :manny:

I started saving at an early age, bought all my cars myself. Got my first legal job at 15 and worked throughout college and still had time to party and fukk chicks. Grew up with thugs, knuckleheads, and good dudes but at some point in life you have to cut out the people who aren't moving forward and keep around those who want the same things as you. My boys kept me focus and level headed. The only 2 things I would consider doing differently would be going to my dream school instead of choosing to go to the same school as my close friends. The second thing would be save even more money. I had a sneaker fetish....the amount of money I blew on sneakers was :wow: I wasn't the type to blow my last $200 on a pair of shoes instead of paying bills (always paid them first) but whatever I wanted I bought

Japan, but from the 989
I should have started giving a fukk before 18....I was wild as shyt when I was 15-17....getting pulled over by cops every other week. fukking hoes all the time. fukking hoes in the whip and getting caught by the cops....I should have just slowed down and enjoyed rent free, student loan free, not having to pay for shyt life...

I spent my 20s chasing a dream and realized it's not all it's cracked up to be. I enjoy it but I've come to realize it's not working in my life and I've kinda lost my passion for it lately with all the shyt I've had to deal with and how little I've gotten back from it.

I would have never became a DJ and a producer and focused more on fukking bytches and school. I had good grades my entire life, got into an ivy league school and was so focused on making this hip hop dream happen I didn't get what I should have out of the school. I still graduated in 4 years and got my degree but I really didn't capitalize like I should have. I don't regret it because I followed my heart and I didn't know any better but if I could hit the reset button I definitely play it a lot differently.

Instead of taking Marketing at Wharton, I would have taken finance.....would have come out with a cool investment banking job and have had much more money than I have now.

When you're young all you see is this dream but you never really know how things will change, you will change, how you will value things differently, how the industry will change and how you will have to adapt....
