This is such a lovely thread after waking up from a high school flashback dream. Oh well, here goes:

1. Not have cut off my Marcia Brady hair the summer before 7th grade (began the descent into JH & HS Hair Hell)
2. Gone to LF's going away party
3. Nagged my parents more for contacts (like, every hour on the hour) so I would have had them before 11th grade
4. Realized JC was pretty much an asshole and got the word right in the spelling bee even though it would have knocked him out
5. Been on Scholastic Quiz and all around tried harder academically (not to mention I could have spent time with JD & MM and got my head straight)
6. Tried out for Pom Pom instead of letting ZV talk me into majorette...and then not even going to tryouts...WTF!!!
7. Gone to the room party at Wildwood
8. Dealt with the real world instead of retreating into fantasy-land when I couldn't deal
9. (this is the big one) Gotten up off the bench in front of Flounders Hall, walked away from BH up to my sorority house, and never, never thought twice or looked back.

When I think of the things I wish I would have done in JH & high school though...I'm kinda glad I did feel like an outcast...because if I hadn't, I might still be living there and have Wal-Mart be the highlight of my day.

This is a very cleansing thread.
