So ultimately, it all worked out :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hindsight-is-2020#post-1740075 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 02:37:32 +0000 BeachMama 1740075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had gone to the cheaper state school for grad school.</p> <p>I wish I'd taken a job after school where I'd gotten more mentorship and training. Eight years later and I still don't feel very confident in my abilities. </p> <p>I wish I'd kept up my exercise routine. It's so hard to get back into it after years of not doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hindsight-is-2020#post-1740069 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 02:23:27 +0000 Espion 1740069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I started paying off my loans sooner rather than deferring them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hindsight-is-2020#post-1740066 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 02:07:39 +0000 Running Elley 1740066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I hadnt left the out of state college I was attending to come home for a guy ( not DH ). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hindsight-is-2020#post-1740053 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 01:38:41 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1740053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I hadn't stayed broken up with DH for as long as I did. I don't regret us breaking up back in the day (when we were boyfriend/girlfriend) because I got to experience a bit more in life, but I wish we would have gotten back together sooner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hindsight-is-2020#post-1740038 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 00:36:17 +0000 sandy 1740038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I still have an active law license just so it's an option in case anything should happen where I would need to go back to work but I'm not working at the moment. I decided to be a SAHM and I love it but I can see myself going back to work down the road...so even though it's expensive and kind of a pain to take the continuing legal education classes I am keeping my license active. I did briefly try to work from home on a very small scale but I didn't find it worth it to work those 20ish hours a week. And I don't feel like my brain is rotting or that I'm bored.. I am so thankful everyday that my husband supports my decision to stay at home and that he doesn't give it a second thought that we're still paying off my law school loans...bc I know I look at that payment and feel a lot of guilt/regret </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hindsight-is-2020#post-1740037 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 00:31:18 +0000 Zbug 1740037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: ha with you on that one. </p> <p>I wish I had kept up with kegels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hindsight-is-2020#post-1740026 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 00:08:20 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1740026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: do you still practice law? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hindsight-is-2020#post-1740018 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 23:52:42 +0000 MoonMoon 1740018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I'd developed a stronger work/study habit in school.<br /> I wish I could have finished my PhD, or that I had gone to a different school/program for grad school where I could have had a better advisor.<br /> I wish we'd had a photographer at our wedding.<br /> I wish I were still in touch with some friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hindsight-is-2020#post-1740010 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 23:29:59 +0000 pinkcupcake 1740010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: same regret here.

It's like we have gnomes who come in while in at work and put crumbs on the floor. </p> <p>@.twist.: void of ambition here...</p> <p>I wish I had seen my dr about my PPA sooner.<br /> I wish I hadn't taken out the max student loan amount each year.<br /> I wish I had studied abroad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hindsight-is-2020#post-1739969 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 22:54:02 +0000 sandy 1739969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: law school itself wasn't bad - I learned so much and had some great times but I do feel like I spent a lot of time and money pursuing a career that wasn't for me. I did well academically but did not enjoy practicing law after graduating. I think I could have saved A LOT of money and time doing something else with my life. I could have found a career that I loved and made me happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hindsight-is-2020#post-1739913 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 22:18:37 +0000 sunny 1739913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish we had traveled more pre-baby and put all our money in the stock market instead of buying a home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hindsight-is-2020#post-1739904 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 22:12:56 +0000 OsoInGreenAndGold 1739904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: +1</p> <p>I wish I'd stressed out less about stupid stuff in high school - I miss the comfort of NOT being an adult and having to deal with adult problems! </p> <p>I kind of regret not "going Greek" in college, as I feel like I have so few really, really close girl friends compared to my friends who were in sororities. </p> <p>I wish we'd traveled more before the tiny human came along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hindsight-is-2020#post-1739895 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 22:05:37 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1739895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so shallow, but I wish I wore a different wedding dress.<br /> I wish I went on a honeymoon.<br /> I should have paid off my student loan when I had more money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hindsight-is-2020#post-1739880 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 21:52:36 +0000 Mrs.ThinMint 1739880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish we had never bought our house.
