I would have told myself "I know this sounds ridiculous, but make enough money to fix all the stuff that will go wrong with your house. You're laughing now, but trust me."

And you're not a baseball hall of Fame voter. You're doing well, Nick.

My kids knew exactly what they wanted to be at 12. I'm still trying to figure it out.

Similarly, I can't fathom exiting university without ever changing majors. There's SO MUCH INTERESTING STUFF. Each new class is an entirely new potential trajectory for your life. Exploring those possibilities kinda seems like the point of being there to me.

Wow yeah great call there — I knew people who damn bear changed every semester for a while there lol

That was me for freshman and sophomore year. Every new class I took seemed like the most interesting thing in the world and I'd change my major. There's a reason I ended up with a double major in Philosophy & Psychology. I'd taken so many applicable courses that those majors just sort of happened.
