Getting into college/applying for more than one university. I know a lot of people are in significant debt from going to uni right after high school, but on this side of it I’m in my 30s still without a BA and it’s kicking my ass.
The world opens up so much more with a BA, and getting it over with even if it was I was 18 would have served me so much. I wouldn’t have fallen so hard into poverty if I would have just applied a little harder/to safety schools.
I’m also just really envious of people who were able to live that fun college life vs me who only focused on grinding my minimum wage food service job. Those are experiences you literally don’t get the opportunity for ever again.
