I just browsed insta for 4h and now I feel like I have cancer.

I would change this website back to what it was in 2010.

28 yo

Eat more pussy, eat more ass.

Honestly, I made decisions in the last 10 years completely on the fly. And because of those decisions with no planning I am happy for the experiences I had. And because of that I will continue to make life choices on the fly and always put quality of life above anything else.

Yeah I'm talking bout Irl age my bro

I started coming onto NS at approximately 15 years old. I am 28 now. If I could change anything in my past, it would probably be doing better/applying myself more in school. Change my "Untouchable/jackass" attitude that I had when I was younger that could have gotten me into a lot of trouble, but "lucky" enough I got to learn from my friends "mistakes" instead of my own. I would have listened to my parents more, because at the time, what did they know, but now, I'm like holy shit, they were always right. Sometimes I wish I didn't ski as much as I used to because as I get older, my body is paying for injuries, even at 28. But without skiing, without all my experiences, and all the ups and downs, I wouldn't be where I am at today with a job, getting married in the near future, and being on the green grass on the other side. Sometimes you just gotta ride the wave and accept how things were/are. You can't change the past, but you can always change the future!

Came here with this account almost 8 years ago now but had an older lurker account for much longer. So let's just say I started lurking in 2008, posting in 2011. I'm 26 now so that's ~10 years or so.

Like others have said, it would have been applying myself more in school and differentiating myself among my peers. I look back at my high school years fondly but there are so many things I would have done differently.

I should have worked harder academically and not coasted along with B+'s and A-'s. I shouldn't have been afraid to put myself out there both socially and academically. I was so afraid of failing and being embarrassed that I never pushed myself to do my best or try something new until it was too late.

Perhaps my biggest regret is not seriously applying myself to ski racing until it was too late. For the first two years of high school I was stuck between wanting to play collegiate soccer (likely D3) or skiing (D1) and as a result I was mediocre (relatively speaking of course) at both. It wasn't until my junior year that I really found that ski racing was what I loved and I dedicated myself entirely to it. But, as fellow racers know, that's usually a little too late. Colleges want a solid FIS points profile going into senior year, not coming out of it. I didn't have the first two years of high school to improve my FIS points for a variety of reasons (mostly because I was struggling with personal issues) so I was entirely reliant on my junior year and 3rd quarter of my senior year.

Coming out of junior year I was crushing it. I had improved my USSA points and FIS points substantially to the point where skiing D1 for a mid-tier team was possible. Going into senior year I was so excited but disaster struck. Unfortunately, I got hurt going into that 3rd quarter and never really had a chance to get my skis underneath me. I went to early season races and didn't perform even close to where I had left off the prior year and I was hard on myself for these poor results. It eventually spiraled to the point where I hardly improved at all my senior year and in what would be the last run of my serious racing career I was thankful to be done.

But there was still a chance I could have done more. I had asked my parents about the potential of taking a post-graduate year and skiing at a full-time academy (MMSC most likely) and giving it another shot. At the time, they shot it down but a few years later they told me they considered it but didn't think I was in the right place mentally. They then added a caveat that if I had pushed them on it they likely would have relented and let me go.

It was really tough to hear that because it likely would have altered where I went to college in the end. I applied to about 8(?) schools (mostly NESCACs and New England schools) but ended up only getting into three. I wouldn't say my grades were the issue (I ended up with like a 3.5) nor were my board scores (31 ACT with strong English and reading) but rather that my extra curricular were lacking. I was just another white boy from a New England prep school.

One college was immediately taken off the list because it was all of four miles from where I grew up and often went to summer camps. That left me with two options, one on the East Coast, the other out in Colorado. I chose the East Coast school and in the end, once again, coasted through it. The issues I had in high school came back to bite me in the ass. Going from a school of 270 kids to one of 10,000+ was a really tough change, especially when I no longer had sports teams to make it smaller.

Anyways, to sum it up I didn't position myself well enough to get myself into a college where I would have been happier nor did I do anything in college to position myself to make my post-collegiate life better.

I'm not struggling by any means financially but I do often wonder how different my life would be if I had continued to ski race. The D1 collegiate scene is super small and a lot of kids end up working in jobs that came about from their networking in that world.

There are a lot of things I shouldn't have done, but wouldn't do them differently if I went back. Like would have been nice if I actually saved some money while making far too much money working in a restaurant (not actually that much, but when you live at home and dont have any expenses, not that much goes pretty far) for a 19 year old living at home during uni, but looking back, those were some fun times. Long term blowing tons money on over priced drinks at the club was probably good for me as I got all of that out of my system. I really have no desire to buy over priced drinks and stay up till 4 am dancing in a crowded,sweaty, loud room anymore.

That said, while that scene was fun, I got out and lots of people dont. One of the best decision I made was leaving that around the end of second year uni. So my advice would be to not be afraid to have a good time after highschool and do some dumb stuff, but have an end in sight, do not get sucked into the lifestyle. You do not want to be that old guy at the club.

Also looking back, I was funnelled into uni (I think one person from my entire school did not go to uni after graduation and that one person was going volunteering for a year or some bullshit and then going) and it worked out for me, i ended up thriving (grades-wise) at uni far more than I did at highschool. If there wasnt such a funnel I think I would have also really enjoyed becoming a carpenter and attending a trade school instead, never really considered that option.

Overall, go have some fun, but make sure you have a long term plan and do not do anything to seriously mess up your life like getting into a shit ton of debt or frying your brain.

There is no point in saying do not do drugs, you will do them if you do them, but be careful if you do. They can seriously mess you up, or even kill you. Give it a few years after highshcool and you will know people who have either died from them or have seriously messed up their lives because of them; it is really sad.


On the brighter side, this video is amazing and you should watch it; I wish i saw it sooner. https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/917513/-Principles-for-Success--by-Joe-Plumeri-New-York-Law-School-2015-Commencement-Address--excerpts-

i don't have any serious regrets-- i'm very happy with where i am in life. but i can tell you what im happy i DID do:


balance your life. skiing is a super important part of me but i'm happy that ive also prioritized family, friends, other sports, etc

be good and respectful to everyone. it's a small world and if you are consistently a good guy who people can rely on, i promise you you will reap the rewards of that later in life as people grow out of the high school mindset

do well in school! it doesn't matter what you're into or think youre going to be looking for career wise, the only way you'll close doors on future you is doing badly in school or becoming a felon or burning bridges by doing stupid shit like quitting a job in a bad way. it's very very possible to do well enough in school while also living the rest of your life and you will NEVER regret it, i promise you that

eat and be healthy. there is nothing cool or rewarding about being out of shape or in bad health just because you eat like an idiot

stick with your hobbies. knowing stuff and being good at shit/being well rounded is a huge plus as you become an adult (and look for girls). not giving a shit about anything and being a slacker might seem cool as a student but i promise you if you don't have skills or hobbies or passions or interests, you are quickly doing to become a boring ass 20-something who appears to just be waiting around to die like some grumpy old man

Oh that's a great call.

There are definitely a few things I am happy I did get into.

First and foremost is learning to eat correctly and how to stay in shape. I managed to gain the freshman 15, twice. Once in high school and once in college. There's nothing worse than suddenly looking in the mirror/at the scale and realizing you've gained a substantial amount of weight.

In this day and age it can be both demoralizing athletically and socially to be overweight. Outside of Hollywood, very few people want to date the fat kid. Doesn't matter how funny, smart, or talented you are, people will always judge you by your weight at first glance. We all know unless you're a collegiate football player, being overweight for sports is detrimental to your performance.

So, learn how to eat properly. It took me eight or so years to finally nail down a diet and workout routine that can coexist. I personally abhor running for exercise and everything to do with it. I don't think I've run more than 6 miles in the past 4 years combined. I tried running for exercise in high school and the beginning of college but I never ran far enough or hard enough to lose the weight I wanted.

I then tried weight-lifting and running together. It got better, but my diet was still shit. So I tried to reign that in but still couldn't figure it out. Turns out, for me, the best way to keep my diet in check is biking, lots of it. Over the past four years I've managed over 21,000 miles. And to boot, I can still eat what I like without too much concern. I don't eat poorly per say, but I definitely eat more junk than your average 155 pound office worker. Winter's tough but that's also because I can't bike on the weekends with skiing.


Secondly, I am glad that I haven't sacrificed my hobbies and personal time for work. I work ~10 hours a day Monday-Thursday and anywhere between 6-9 hours on Friday.

Post-work I dedicate an hour or so to working out (almost all is biking outdoors or on the trainer) and then eat dinner and go to sleep by 10 or so. On weekends, in the summer I bike ~100+ miles between Saturday and Sunday, while in the winter I coach u12 ski racers. I don't go out much but I've never really been one to handle hangovers and be active well so that's fine by me.

I also make sure that I read a lot, whether it's a newspaper or a book. To all my fellow post-school NSers, try reading a book for pleasure if you haven't since school. There are a lot of good ones out there. I can give you a recommendation depending on your interests. It's really nice to put up your feet and read a book for a few hours.

Finally, go travel. Spend some of that hard earned money and go somewhere fun. You don't have to ski, you don't have to sit by the beach, you just have to have fun. I was in Taipei last year for work (for one day of meetings :| ) and spent the better part of two days just walking around the city. It's really fun being one of those quintessential tourists. I went to all the museums and sites I could, ate some weird ass food at the night markets, and just walked where ever seemed interesting.

oh shit good call

traveling is a must for anyone who is even a little interested and has the opportunity. it will only get harder and harder to travel as you age. even the most type A, hardass adult you know will probably agree that traveling as a young adult is a super good idea. you learn about other places and you gain from it so much as an independent person

i'm super content living in my home state but that would not be the case if i hadn't traveled a ton first before settling down. my parents are kinda hard asses but they said fuck yeah dude, go travel, be a ski bum, try it, worst case scenario you come back and try something else

Definitely a few things. I wish I pursued our Entrepreneurship class project at CU and most of the amateur ski edits today would be on our online media platform. Also, I used to grow medical cannabis in CO back during the "Wild West" days and ended up getting a 'real' job instead and now Cannabis is one of the the biggest industry in Colorado. I now work for a Health Insurance software company, its good pay to support my family but definitely not what I hoped for a career. Advice would be to take the risks and pursue your dreams when your young because as you get older you take on more and more financial obligations that make those dreams less possible.

29 turning 30 in a few months. Wouldn't really change much. I'm happy enough with life. That said, I probably would have taken more opportunities. I feel like I did but had a couple things I wish I had given a chance even though maybe not the hobby or career I wanted. I feel like skipping a good career opportunity made me less likely to skip things in the future. Also had to figure out some life shit, and that regret or at least realizing problems helped me a lot.

Honestly I feel like if I got hit by a bus tomorrow, I've lived a solid life, done far more than I could have dreamed of and met some awesome people along the way.

If there's something you want to do go for it. If your friends don't want to go, go anyway, or find new friends. Never let family or friends keep you from pursuing careers, hobbies, and anything you're passionate about. People are different, not every one will agree with or understand your decisions but that's life.

Life is fucking short. Don't miss out on doing things that bring you joy because you're worried that other people might judge you. Figure out what matters to you, way the pros and cons and then send it. Everyone will have some things they wish they had done differently, the what ifs, and if onlys. Try and keep those to a minimum. If I make it to 50 years old I don't ever want to look back with regret. I want to reflect on some awesome memories and think "Fuck yeah! What a wild ride!"

This.

I'm 56. I was diagnosed with cancer when I was 42. The doctor was white as a sheet when he told me (he thought is was over for me). I put my arm around him to comfort him and told him not to worry, I don't have a bucket list I need to immediately attend to or have regrets over. I've always just done what I wanted along the way when the opportunity presented itself. I learned to fly hang gliders when I was 20 and still fly (sailplanes now). I raced motorcycles first and then cars. I rock climbed when I was younger, I've taken risks and made a lot of money and taken risks and lost it all only to start over again.

I dropped out of high school because I just wanted to surf. I went to law school later when that made sense to me. Although I could never advocate dropping out of high school to anyone, it made me the person I am today. it was character building and I needed that. I had a stroke when I was 49 and recovered from that. I learned to backie when I was 52 because it looked so steezy and I wanted to do it while I was still in my prime :) I'm working on my rail game now.

Don't live a life full of regrets. Measure the risk versus reward. If it isn't going to result in death it's a no brainer for me. I don't want to die but bones I'm willing to break, they heal (slower now at my age). If it might result in death I require a tremendous reward. I love my family and I love life so I intend on living it. I have no intention of being the old guy in the rocking chair trying to live an unfulfilled life for as long as he can. Most of the time it makes sense to me to just send it.

Im 31. For some reason, I though I was younger than theabortionator... oh well.

Life hasent been kind to me, looking back. The cards I was dealt pretty much determined the path of my life. My childhood can be remembered as an anxious mess. I did poor at school, had a skin disorder and was shy as fuck. So , I had little control over anything...
Teen years were far better, but I wish I would have been less dumb. There isnt much that could be done about that, but it did form me into a better person today. I can look back at those years and be happy that I tried my best at school and really committed to what project I started.
When senior year was over, I took a shot at marine school. It was a good shot in the dark because I love my job today, when I had no idea if I was going to like it, Once again, staying patient and finishing what you started is a valuable life lesson.

My 20s were an emotional gauntlet. I was burnt from the stress of school, the massive learning curve of the job that would give me nightmares and the deterioration of my personal life were themes I dealt with. At the time, I was so depressed that my answer would be not finishing that bottle of rubbing alcohol. After the suicide attempt, something clicked. I dont remember changing my habits much, but do remember skiing a lot more from that point, Moving across the country improved my life greatly...

One missing point was relationship with women... I had none until 25. I dont know that I could have changed to improve that though. Maybe if I was more outgoing and went out to more parties and bars; things would have been different. Maybe I wouldnt be so lonely and less forgotten... Overall, I have time, money, energy and happiness at this time... so I wouldnt change anything

I have to say this is some of the best advice I have heard in a long time. As I read the thread(I don’t know how I found it since it is a few months old) I was thinking to myself what I was going to say and reading these posts was exactly what I was going to write. Very well said you two! There is some really good advice on this thread and some really good stories. Happy to hear of how people have turned out from their younger tougher days. My advice, follow your heart, your gut, your natural instincts. Travel the world, meet new friends, be kind to other people and animals, respect gets respect, learn something new everyday whether it be a new hobbie or a meaning of a word, never let your brain quit working. Ski of course, stay healthy, but most of all, don’t live life with any regrets, if you can try and make someone smile every day.

Stoked on all of the cool concepts I learned while getting my engineering degree. I now have $50k in student loan debt and sometimes wonder if my time would have been better spent if I had gone to a trade school instead.

Can always go back to trade school if you want. The job force is hungry for people with any sort of mechanic/welder/fabricator/electrical/plumbing trades.

I tell younger ppl not to worry about being popular because life is pretty long and they should pace themselves. Youre going to land where youre supposed to. Also i tell them that in 1000 years nobody is going to even know who the fuck obama was so you better believe that in the long run nobody is popular...

I mean, I'm not that old but still well into my adult life nonetheless.

I wouldn't change a god damn thing about what I've done. My life is a movie waiting to be made. Evidently you can tell by my name - I probably wish I bought more Bitcoin instead of blowing it on drugs. But one thing I keep in mind as a startup guy: Bitcoin has 1-5 billionaires at it's current price, and I believe zero multibillionaires.

I'll make my money elsewhere, I mean I do own a 6KM solid Iron / Nickel asteroid - it's potential value is stupifying. I know if I made that much money, I'd have to upload my mind to an AI to even understand a number that big. That much iron at current market price would make Jeff Bezos look like a peasant. But I digress: I wouldn't change much about my life.

A lot of people in my field / company chase NY or LDN but I am happy (and LOVE) in Utah. That said, I could have made more $$ if I chased that harder also

But one thing I keep in mind as a startup guy: Bitcoin has 1-5 billionaires at it's current price, and I believe zero multibillionaires.

I'll make my money elsewhere, I mean I do own a 6KM solid Iron / Nickel asteroid - it's potential value is stupifying. I know if I made that much money, I'd have to upload my mind to an AI to even understand a number that big. That much iron at current market price would make Jeff Bezos look like a peasant. But I digress: I wouldn't change much about my life.

Hey bro, just hook me up with a life time pass to your mountain you are going to buy!!!
