What opportunities do you really wish you hadn’t missed out on?

Graduating college at 22.

When I was 13, I had my life all planned out. Graduate high school a year early, go to the state school my dad graduated from, get a computer engineering degree, get a nice job when I graduate in four short years, buy a house and have 2.5 kids. I'd spend those four years growing as an adult - from living in the dorms to getting wacky roommates. I'd drink underage, very cautiously of course and only after I was 20, I'd date a few girls, I'd join some clubs, and have the whole experience. I was really looking forward to it.

Things turned south a little after that. GED at 16, bachelor's at 27. Never had that college experience. I hope it eventually stops upsetting me.
