Dump my no-good cheating boyfriend and stay in the great apartment I gave up to move halfway across the country to live with him. Also would have tried to get into architect school earlier and saved myself both time and money studying pointless crap.
I'd bully my father into going to the doctor so that maybe the the stage IV cancer they'd find in October would only be stage one in January, and then and they could actually do something about it. There are other, less important things I'd change, but that would be the priority.
think "oh f**k, not again!"- it was particularly unpleasant time in my life and not one Id want to repeat.
If it was 5 years that would be awesome as knowing what I now do back then would be incredible-
my Alevels would be a doddle now that ive gone though most of uni
Getting better A level results would mean getting into a better university
Also the increase in my emotional maturity would mean no pathetic unrequited love for girl I had no chance with
It also would mean Id be observant enough to notice that a very close female friend was in fact completely besotted with me
Going to a different uni would mean not having ot deal with my shitty 1st year housemates
Knowing how to actually revise would mean id ace my finals each year
My god everything would be completely different

Make sure I stop my mum from dying on the 19th Jan 2010. Everything else, i'll let it continue.cairocat said:
I'd be back with my ex...I'd kill myself if I had to put up with him again. I'd probably break up with him sooner, maybe I could have got with my current boyfriend earlier.
i actually think the last couple of years have been pretty kind to me, so i wouldnt change much. I might want to start memorizing lottery numbers though, just in case...
Well, I would actually finish Junior year strong, go straight into PSEO, and actually finish all my credits on time.
I live in an Orwellian society controlled by nightmarish creatures with orange skins and hair that resembles those of an elementary school kid trying to look tough. Yesterday, January 18th 2011, I went on the Internet, one of our few escapes from the monotony that is serving our overlords, thing we can only do with extreme supervision. Against my very safety, and my family's, I posted a comment on a thread saying I would arise against the current government before they gained power if I were to travel back in time, as a subjective scenario. Alas, my calculations were wrong, and turns out that while they have not seized over world-politics, I am powerless against them. You might imagine how fortunate I am to see this thread now. Someone, anyone, go to January 2009 and warn people of the monstrosity that will be soon indoctrinating our children, you are humanity's last hope.
Work harder in school for one. I could have done a lot better and had been in a better position if I had just worked harder. Other than that I wouldn't do much different except for make eerly accurate prediction about other people's lives and get stuff that I new I liked earlier (like music I got into over the last 2 years).
Hmmm, sounds like Misfile to me. Am I still the same gender and the correct age?
Anyway ...
1. Write down everything I could remember, particularly stuff which would be useful to know for work, things that I could do with getting done earlier, and stuff which I could lay bets on to make money out of. My memory isn't THAT hot.
2. I'd buy the first out of the two ebay bikes I went to look at (the included cargo box and hotgrips would have been much more useful than shinier chrome), have signed up immediately for the full-license course after passing my initial training (so much time wasted from not being able to go on motorways, dear god; also I would have had more free time later each week when i really needed it), book a different holiday, and earlier (it was... an experience, but not one i'd eagerly repeat), and make sure I got something booked in for 2010 a lot earlier. Plus I'd ride certain suppliers at work a lot harder to get us quotes and full details of what would be required before work could start. More to let them know I wasn't cocking around than actually needing it, seeing as I'd remember a fair bit.
3. Also I'd put lots of money into stock in Cadburys...
4. And take my backpack with me into work instead of leaving it on the seat of the car that one time I had to park on a dodgy road and had no space in the boot... and mine & two other cars got broken into. I would also take a moment to find some way of electrifying the frame with 1000V of AC and hiding a camcorder inside to capture the moment - and the hood's face, in case he still made good his escape with the swag from the other two.
5. Take more time to see family members who I now know to be on their way to either death or creeping dementia in the interim...
6. Buy winter tyres and snow socks ahead of the big freeze this year
7. TWO TERA disks, fool. TWO. Not one!
8. Commute via junction 7 instead of 6 on the morning of the 20th. Or maybe pull a sickie, park up nearby, then get a good vantage point to see if the girl who ran into me was actually going to and doing what she claimed she was... Saving both a couple years of insurance lunacy, and satisfying curiosity.
9. Read my copy of Girl With The Dragon Tattoo BEFORE letting my mother get hold of it. By the time I got it back, Hornet's Nest had been and gone in the cinema...
Too bad it's all a little too late to stop me buying the car I'm in now (jeez, two years already?)... but, hey ho, it's doing alright.
