Anyone else really wish they could relive their college years? (srs)

Maybe I'm just depressed and thinking into the past and my memories are distorted

But I'd give anything to go back in time and do it all over again

After I graduated almost all my friends dispersed to random parts of the country, never to be seen again. Feels like they've moved on with their lifes and maintained continuity. Meanwhile I'm frozen in time, reminiscing about the 'good ol days'

I'm sure everyone wishes they could revert to their childhood while retaining all the knowledge they gained as an adult.

As they say, youth is wasted on the young...

No because I would just make more mature choices and work harder for the job market with my additional knowledge.

That's pretty much the mistake I made.

I really only had one or two "good" years. After that I started working while studying to save as much money as I could.

I'm much better off financially as a result, but it came at a serious cost. I neglected a lot of friendships because I assumed they would be there after graduation. I didn't realize that almost everyone would move away.

Sucks because that was it, there's no redo button. Nowhere else will you ever be in such close proximity to people where its as convenient to hangout and party and do stuff

All the time. Had bad OCD during college which significantly limited my enjoyment of it. Would be nice to have another shot.

However, it won't happen. That's life son.

Not really, even though learning and applying that knowledge to score well on exams in classes that interested me was one of the most rewarding experiences. I wasn't the party type though, so I know I missed out on a lot of the social aspects that people say make college the best time.

I didn't either; when I was in high school I was in a very dysfunctional houshold, my mom worked evenings and my dad was always drunk at home or at the bar in the evening

TBH if I went back in time I'd just start working sooner, take education more seriously, take the gym a little more seriously, and avoid some bad social decisions lol.

I miss the simplicity of those days, and my general optimism and higher energy/motivation. But I don't miss the lack of money.

"general optimism" is a big one. I used to think I could do anything back then, the world was mine.

Now its not even that I don't think I "could" do anything; I just don't want to. I used to think I would do a PhD one day, travel to different countries, etc

But now nothing interest me anymore. Food, traveling, tv, video games, studying, you name it don't interest me anymore. It's like I just live to work and stare at a wall in the downtime

I also got sucked up into the FIRE (financially independent/retire early) ideology when I was a student, starting to think it has ruined my life

That's single-handedly the reason I worked so much when I was a student, and gave up all kinds of experiences/hobbies cause it meant I would invest less money

Look into psychedelics/holotropic breathwork & maybe try some good greens. These are largely responsible for me not wanting to relive ages 22+. They made life have color again.

Partying until 2am.
Rolling into class at 8am still drunk.
TA doesn't give a **** because he was at the party too.
Hit the gym in the afternoon and hit a new PR.
Start pre drinking at 6pm.
Make it out to the bars by 10pm.
Repeat for the next four years.

Man, glad I went to college before social media was a thing. I'd love to do it over again. I'm a software engineering manager now so life is unquestionably better today but those days of zero responsibility will never come around again.

Went to school for computer science. Had to buckle down a few times for some projects but if you aren't an incel retard it was not a hard major to do well in.

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

One girl actually did come onto me, but I wasn’t feeling it. She’s married now.
