    If you could go back in time and change one decision in your life what would it be?
    For me i'd go back to leaving cert and redo my CAO, i was only 16 doing it and i completely screwed that up.

    Joining boards - my college grades would be sooooo much better....

    Wouldn't change a thing. i'm extremely happy at this point in my life. All the **** things that happened to me I have learned from and gotten over. Changing any of those things might have led me down a totally different path than I'm on now.

    Pfft.....I'd just do the leaving cert over again since i knew what papers were coming up anyway. I could do anything on the CAO then.

    I stopped smoking when I was 18. I shouldn't have chosen to go back on them. So much money flushed down the toilet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,346 ✭✭✭✭jimmycrackcorm


    I wouldn't take the train.

    I'd go back before 8 o clock and do the Lotto, because I forgot to do it this evening.

    Also I'd kill Sarah Connor.


  • Registered Users Posts: 784 ✭✭✭marzic


    I would have rode the girl who grabbed my balls in a college disco in limerick in 1993 or the girl who put her hand in my back pocket in a college disco in limerick in 1994, instead of looking at them like Fr. Dougal Mcguire might have, and would have learned that trying to ride the girl who tried to kick you in a college disco in limerick in 1995 was a dumb idea... but i did make some great friends:(

    I'd take the road more-travelled.

    This least-travelled one has sh*te footpaths.

    There is lots id like to do over but if i did them over other good stuff that happened to me wouldnt have happened.

    eg. Leaving cert. I also did it very young just turned 17. Didnt take it seriously and did kinda **** but got enough points to do one of my choices. If i did transition year i would have graduated a year later and woudnt have gotten to know a tonne of people in college that i still get on with today.

    I wouldn't have gotten into computers so much, has screwed up so many aspects of my life (how ironic eh?). I would have either studied electronic engineering in college or joined Iarnród Éireann as a driver.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,886 ✭✭✭Darlughda


    I would say I'm leaving you' to him, and tell mr. new that he is not worth the sweat off my little finger, and skedaddle back to Ireland before mobile phones were the norm.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,128 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    Dislocated my arm so i'd go back to then and not do the stupid thing i did.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


    I wouldn't change a thing! Granted there are some things I wish I could have done without but I wouldn't want to take a chance on ruining what I have now. I am so happy right now doing what I always wanted to do, have an amazing boyfriend, brilliant friends so much to look forward to.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,038 ✭✭✭jackiebaron


    Would have said yes to do that $200 appearance in a porno movie in La Jolla when I was on me J1.

    Not a whole lot, but I'd like to have started doing a lot of things earlier in my life, particularly travelling, learning languages, etc.

    That's nice, but you do realise that by making these changes you've now unravelled the space time continuum and brought and End to all Existence.

    Hope your happy.

  • Registered Users Posts: 107 ✭✭immature ejaculation

    Hindsight is 20/20. It'd be nice to have another go at it, I'm not sure what I'd do differently but I'd like to try all the same

    I'd have selected horse 3 in the final race of the jackpot at the Galway races back in 2002.

    I regret not studying harder in first year of college, or studying at all, I failed the year and had to repeat, although it made me work harder and it motivated me to finish with a 1.1 and top of my class, so I guess if I had of passed out of luck I would only have a 2.2 at best in my final year, things work out the way their suppose to, not always for the best though

    I'd have gotten up more speed on that bloody cement truck before I rammed Leinster House
