    Before this thread gets ridiculous, I'll throw in something serious. Not too much comes to mind in the way of regret (yet), but it would definitely have this:

    "Be nicer to mom and your sister."

    That's about it.

    its kinda funny , you all know you would tell yourself something more serious but its seems to me like you're sacred to post up the truth . you wouldnt tell youselves " hey she is gonna cheat on you" or " dont drive you have drank"

    I would suggest to never start smoking, drinking,ect. Also be nicer to my mom/dad. Take more time to see your friends. I know at 20
    it's hard to see past Friday night
    she wasn't right for you and still you feel like there's a knife stickin' out of your back
    and you're wonderin' if you'll survive but you'll make it through this and you'll see
    you're still around to write this letter to me

    the first is just an emotion and the second is understandable,

    Well I'm pretty happy with 95% of the decisions I have made. Can't think of too many mistakes other than getting an automatic transmission and going to Tech. I haven't done anything big wrong.

    Well, I'd tell myself, to concentrate & find what you wanna do in life earlier.

    I'd tell myself, to not be afraid to succeed & lose people I think are friends.

    I'd tell myself to save money.

    I'd say not to be lazy at work, & appreciate the blessings I had.

    Oh, & not get married!! LMAO under any circumstances. lol

    Oh & the final one, when picking a car, do some damn research 1st. lol.....Vegeta

    haha probably to actually try in highschool and not cheat my way through, not to violate nearly to every traffic law with and without a license cause ill get caught for alot of them and it would save me 1000's of dollars. and not to be such a punk, even if i think ill get my ass beat. not to get loans or run up credit cards, not to get an apartment, and possibly to think twice about the military.


    cause now im broke as hell, no car, 2 license suspensions, just got my license back a few months ago. then there is so many people i want to go back and just deck in the face, but i always just let **** slide and it didnt bother me. which is probably good that i did that but ide rather go back and just fuk some ppl up. as for the military i need to be here, but i was happy there. rather be happy then whatever i am now. still broke, and pay will never lead to decent unless im in 15+ years. most benifits are nice, but consequences of bad things suck. lucky i havent seen any yet.

    I really just need to do better with school. I don't think anything insane has gone on in my life that really needs changing. Oh yea...I probably should've gone for that 944.

    Dear Ryan,


    Don't buy the Jetta. You keep telling yourself you sold your 240sx to buy a decent reliable car and that you were not going to modify it. You will end up spending too much money on it only to take it all apart and sell it. Buy something else RWD and not made of so much fail.

    Sincerely, yourself.
