Things I wish I would've done different.

I have worked hard to live my life without regrets but I would be lying if I said that I don't have any.

So here is a list of things I wish I would've done differently.

-I wish I would've cared less about relationships and wanting to fall in love all of my teenage years. I was more concerned about guys and less about everything else. If I would've applied myself to sports my entire life I wouldn't have ever had a weight issue and right now I would be in amazing shape!

-I wish I would've cared more about school from 10th grade to 12th grade. My parents got a divorce during my sophomore year of high school and I went into a deep state of depression and rebellion. I went from pretty much straight A's to almost all C's and D's.

- I wish I would've cared and focused more in college instead of partying. I had a full ride to college and ended up misplacing my scholarship and grants that I had earned and so did the school I was going to. I ended up having to get a loan for my first(only) year of college and decided not to return my 2nd year of college. This has to be my biggest regret of all! I wish I would've gone all 4 years and gotten some sort of degree. I don't really know what I would want to do now but to just have a degree under my belt would be really nice. 

-I wish I wouldn't have moved to Colorado right after I left college. I met my mom's sister for the first time a couple months after I left school and they live in Colorado. They came down for 2 weeks to meet my sister and I and gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. Like all things that sound too good to be true it was and I shouldn't have went. I left the job I just started to live with these strangers and they promised me a 'rent free' pass to live with them and they had 3 vehicles so I could drive one as if it were my own (clearly mine wouldn't make the 13hour drive). They promised that I could live with them rent free for at least a year and wouldn't have to pay for anything because they wanted me to save every penny I made for my own place to live and they would provide me with at least new bedroom furniture. After a month of living with them they became bullies, would go through my belongings while I was at work, and listen in to my phone calls. After about 2 1/2months of living with them, they sat me down and told me they were kicking me out. They claimed that I caused my aunt sooo much stress that it gave her colon cancer.  I didn't know I had that much power but okayyyyy....When in reality I was there modern day Cinderella. They wouldn't let me use any of their vehicles, would freak out on me if I even bought a magazine, and made me ride a bus to work even though it would take the bus an hour to get to my job though it was only a 10minute drive away.. So I decided to come back to good ole Oklahoma. I wish I either wouldn't have gone at all or I would've stayed because I found a great job that I loved up there.

-And my final regret that I can think of... The summer leading up to my senior year I lost 50lbs. I didn't count calories all I did was cut out pop, cut out fast food, and only eat mainly healthy foods when I was hungry while walking on a treadmill for 30mins to 3 hours a day. I kept the weight off for about 3 years and gained it all back. I made it to my goal weight of 150 then and that's what I'm trying to do now. I wish I would've worked out more and kept at that weight.

Do you have any regret? If so, what are they?
