Travel back in time

After a year in college I realized that everything I thought I wanted to do upon graduating high school was garbage. The idea of college education = success kept me plugging along for 5 years being highly unmotivated. I had a lot of fun but I could have had the same fun and have been doing something constructive. I've done a better job educating myself since I finished school than a professor ever could.

Same here.

I wish I had taken a year out instead of being churned into the university machine. I let myself down and really dismantled in my final year. Instead of upping the tempo of my studies, I was trying to earn money and was spending it on decadence. In the end it was all a waste. The only thing my degree gave me was the opportunity to move overseas.

My MA result was the product of me deciding to make amends and show that I was much better than my younger self. The results showed it. At the end of the day a professor can only do so much with the students available to him/her. If a student is unmotivated then they aren't going to learn well. At the same time though you have to make an effort to engage and I think a lot of so called academics are pretty poor teachers. They can write papers, but they know little about spicing a lesson up to get at least something fruitful going. It's a double edged sword.

Asides from my initial studies, I don't think I have any real regrets. Everything has got to this point and for better or for worse I am where I am today. I grumble, but I have life pretty much sorted. My work is the best it has ever been, I am comfortable, have a thin beautiful wife and don't work for almost half the year. I am my own worst enemy and have a few demons, but that is a work in progress. It's all okay really.

I would go back and make sure Master's parents never met so he could be erased from existence.

To be certain I would keep coming back here until all his pathetic posts faded out.

I would go back in time and trip you up as you tried to emulate Rocky in your avatar and hope you fell and broke your neck.

You would need to go back a long time in the past when you were fit and at your peak say about 25-30 years ago and even then you would lose.
