Learn from their mistakes so you dont make the same ones.

Never had my very own place.

Be more outgoing and adventurous
Not being more assertive or outgoing.
I was always afraid of imposing on others or bothering them.
I think I missed out on a lot of friendships.
People are generally friendly and like meeting new people who like them.
I was that way, but couldnt believe that other people would want to talk to me.
This also killed me in dating.
So that meant that girls assumed I wasnt into them or the chemistry just never built.
Damn, I was stupid.

Take care of your mental health

Now Im paying for all of that.
I wasted my 20s being tied down to someone Im no longer with.
I have kids now.
I no longer have the same young hot body so confidence is super low.
Definitely wish I experienced more things.

Make a life plan
I regret not having made a life plan, of some throw in.
To give me direction.
I regret, more than anything, not having had a goal for myself to work towards.
I could have accomplished something, anything while helping others.

Make the first move
Kissing this guy when we stayed up all night talking.
You miss all the shots you dont take.
Learned my lesson and never missed a chance afterwards.

Slow down and actually enjoy life
Slowing down and enjoying life more.
I was too much in a hurry.
I was too busy thinking about the future.
My early 20s were probably some of the best years of my life.
I just wish that I had taken the time to slow down and enjoy it more.

Visit the doctor instead of putting it off
Going to the dentist regularly.
Its no fun catching up on dental work that should have been taken care of years ago.

Get some work experience
Working.
I didnt workat allin my early 20s and now its biting my ass several years later.
I graduated college two years ago with zero work experience, and no one would hire me.
I also live with my mom.
Youve been warned kids.

Be more social
Not being more social than I was.
Turns out its WAY more important than practical skills when it comes to job hunting AND keeping a job.
