When you turned 21

[Godsloveapples]

How did you feel? Do you think that you changed for the better/worse or stayed the same?

If you could go back in time and give your 21 year old self advice, what would you say?

 

[Springsteen]

Didn't really affect me to be honest, I did the same things after as I did before.

 

[Abcinthia]

I just felt the same.

I wouldn't go back and tell myself anything. It was only a year and a half ago and I don't think much has changed in that time.

Shop around?

It didn't really change much for me. I specifically remember that I ordered a drink that night at dinner and didn't get carded. Boo!!!

If I could go back and give myself advice, I'd pick the 18 year old me, not the 21 year old me. I wish I had taken college more seriously.

If I could turn back time, I'd be tempted to go back to when I was 16 and tell myself that I was NOT invincible.I'd have gone on to higher education instead of the military. I'd still have been me though, so there's a chance that things would still have been tough.

If i could turn back in time, i would of told myself to leave joe. I was prego w jacob and i only stayed because of the kids. I would of been fine without him. But i wss scared.

 

[TGLucario475]

I feel nothing, as I'm a kid at heart and an Anthro Wolf in the mind ^-^

 

[pjbleek]

would be easy if we could snap our fingers and wish things could have turned out different, but we cannot so you accept what happens and try not to live with much regret.

In 1980 when I turned 21, I was leaving a job that had gone down a less desireable path. I was between relationships and not sure what my next path would be. Certainly not sure what I would have told myself to do differently. Wasn't the best time in my life.

Did I feel different? No, not really. I had already learned the lesson that if you went to the fancy bars rather than the college dive bars, you would rarely get carded anyways. And I lived at Philadelphia at the time, where they have tons of BYO restaurants - so usually when we went out, we'd just pick one of those and my then-26-yr-old BF would buy the booze for me & my friends (ahhh the perks of dating an older man ).

The only cool thing was being able to go to casinos. My dad took me to Atlantic City for a night to celebrate my birthday - never was gambling so much fun as when I could do it with his money instead of my own :giggle... the only annoyance I remember is that he kept telling every single dealer that I was a casino virgin, so I was ID'd about a dozen times that night...

Um, and if I could go back in time and choose a point in my life to kick myself in gear? It'd probably be like 12 or 13, no joke. Most of my regrets in life stemmed from issues that started back then. I was a really smart kid who let laziness and procrastination choke her up, I wasted too many years being angry with my dad, and I let feelings for all the wrong guys get in the way of developing some of my friendships better/further.

Didn't change anything. I didn't drink before and I don't drink after. At my 21st bday party, friends of my friends got drunk, and two people had sex on the floor next to me. Party.

 

[jassilem]

I didn't feel any different..

I would go back and tell myself not to settle.........

 

[fuel1316]

i would have told myself to give florida living a second chance

 

[Dana]

I had the ability to buy alcohol that's about it

 

[redliner]

I feel like to this point in my life (twenty eight) I can honestly say that I am comfortable. Well paying job, married, house and kids. I would not change a thing. When your twenty one have fun. At that point there is not much to worry about. When there is family and somone special in your life. Then things change.

 

[AstriaPorta]

nothing much had change realy

but if i can go back will good to be before 18 and not even get married but thats not fair for my son
so mostly will say will go back around when i was about 23 when we had a very serious argument and we almost seperated as i said enough
this time i will not hold back and not been scared and leave him and take my son with me.

 

[dancingpotato]

Nothing changed except I became a qualified nurse 2 months later and started my current job.

 

[Zorak]
