The semester I could have done it, I decided against it because I didn't want to be away from my the-boyfriend for his last year of college. I met since great new people on campus anyway that year, but I ended up dumping my boyfriend the next year anyway. I wish I would have taken that opportunity when it arose. Oh well, I plan on traveling for fun anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-wish-you-would-have-done-before-you-grew-up#post-1663555 Wed, 28 May 2014 17:31:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1663555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: I thoroughly enjoyed the one week I did - stayed friends with the other counselors and they all loved it! It depends on the camp. This particular one was a "traveling" camp, and different university campuses throughout the US hosted them. It was pretty cool. I went twice as a teen, and counseled for one week when I was 18.</p> <p>@hellocupcake: yeah same here. We didn't know how to manage money and budget and we definitely could have afforded some travel if we had known how to save better - we didn't even go on a "real" honeymoon! Maybe one day... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-wish-you-would-have-done-before-you-grew-up#post-1663552 Wed, 28 May 2014 17:29:49 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1663552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I could have found a way to study abroad.<br /> It's one reason I'm committed to paying for my future LOs college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-wish-you-would-have-done-before-you-grew-up#post-1663551 Wed, 28 May 2014 17:28:57 +0000 hellocupcake 1663551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Traveled with DH. When we first started dating he would always say stuff like lets just go to Hawaii, or Costa Rica or wherever and I always had lame excuses. Now I wish I had just gone with it. We both lived with our parents and had no real bills...we could have totally gone to New York for a long weekend or something but noooo I was too lame :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-wish-you-would-have-done-before-you-grew-up#post-1663530 Wed, 28 May 2014 17:12:25 +0000 loveisstrange 1663530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I did a whole summer at a Girl Scout camp here in StL. 9 weeks, 1 week of training and 4 2 week residential sessions (I lived in a tent for 9 weeks). Not gonna lie... I wouldn't do it again.</p> <p>I wish I had gotten to do a big party spring break trip, like Cancun or Panama City or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anything-you-wish-you-would-have-done-before-you-grew-up#post-1663520 Wed, 28 May 2014 17:02:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1663520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had done a study abroad program!</p> <p>I also wanted to do a summer camp counseling at my favorite camp that I went to as a teen - but it never happened. I was a counselor for the camp for just one week but I wish I had done the whole summer. </p>
