If you could relive one year from your life, which year would it be, and why?

I think I would go back to my freshman year of college...(especially if I could take my maturity with me! 
) and instead of partying all year, actually study. The grades I made that first year were atrocious, and I know I should have made some better choices. Maybe I wouldn't be back in college at the ripe old age of 41!!

I can't really think of any time I would re-do. Not that I haven't made mistakes, because I certainly did my share. But if anything were different I may not be where I am today & this is a pretty great place I'm at in my life.

I think I would go back and relive my senior year of High School. Knowing what I know now, I would love to go back and put a few people in their place and enjoy myself without being so darn self conscious all the time. I would also have spent some more time with a few friends who aren't here anymore.

This is a really hard question.
On one hand I wouldn't really want to relive anything. I've had mostly great times but the times that weren't so great were wonderful learning experiences and have made me into the person I am today.
If I had to pick, I would go back and relive my childhood years. I had the most magical childhood. It was a time of innocence and joy with no responsibility and I could EAT whatever I wanted!!!

I'm with you, Miss Lee. Although I've had years that seem more carefree than recent ones, I don't want to go back to a time when I hadn't yet learned some of the life lessons that I have now.

I would ONLY want to relive it IF I had the knowledge I do now. If I was going back totally ignorant of how everything ended up, then OMG, I wouldn't survive another Senior year!!!

Dear god I would relive NOTHING so far. Not to make it sound like my life has sucked or anything--I actually had a great childhood. I just don't think I could pick a single year to go back to. Elementary school, middle school, highschool, and college all sucked a big one.
Hmmmm...maybe I'd go back to the year I was in 5th grade. What does that put me at? Maybe 10 or 11? That was a good year. My parents were so lovely-dovey and happy back then and I had a really great group of friends at school, and life was pretty hunky dory.
Actually, now that I think about it, right now I'd happily go back to any year where I didn't have to pay bills or work full time....

I would go back to 2006 and skip the sparring class that I tore my rotator cuff in. I was only 2 weeks away from testing for my black belt when it happened

It funny when you think about things you could change like this and what the outcome might have been. When I was a Freshman in college, I was getting ready for tryouts for the Volleyball team. Volleyball was my life at the time and I REALLY wanted to make that team and from practices and talking to the coach, I thought I had a really good chance. Anyways, I seem to be one of those people who always has freak little accidents and somehow while in the shower, one of the other girl's cans of shaving cream fell off the shelf and landed on my toe. I will not go into details, but it was bad and I honestly thought about suing the company who made the can. Anyways, instead of going to tryouts, I was instead lugged to the hospital by my two roommates. We had to go right through the middle of the sorority and frat parades that were going on that morning outside my dorm and I was still in my pajamas. It was probably one of the most humiliating things that has ever happened to me (although I was acting like it was no biggie). Anyways, I didn't make tryouts and I ended up transferring at the end of the semester. I have no idea if I would have made the team (although I was pretty dang good in my time, lol), but if I had, I know I would have never transferred. AND never met my DH. So I guess all the humiliation, walking on crutches for my few weeks of classes, and missing out on tryouts was worth it in the end. Sorry for the long story!!!
This question is surprisingly hard! Like many of you, I got into a lot of trouble and difficulty as a result of my lousy decision-making as a young, stupid person. But most of those decisions also led to some really positive things!
But if I could go back and do it over, knowing what I know now, I'd go back to the year that included the second half of my junior year and the first half of my senior year in high school. I bet I could get into a kick-butt college and cruise through all my classes. Also, I'm better equipped to deal with all my stupid angst. High school was pretty lame for me, so I don't WANT to relive ANY of it, but I think I could do myself some good.

As a live over, or as a do over? I'm kind of with others in not really wanting to live over any years.
Yesterday's over my shoulder,
so I can't look back there too long.
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me
And I know that I just can't go wrong...
as Jimmy says.
As a do over, I might go back to my years as a DINK and rethink having any kids. I'm not sure what life would be like without a special needs son or grandson, but sometimes I think I'd like to give it try.

I would go back to 6th grade and "just say no" when offered a cigarette by my "friends." That decision set up a downward spiral of bad things that happened. First, and most obvious, my struggle with trying to quit for 20 years. Second I got in a lot of trouble because, of course, an 11 or 12 year old can not buy cigarettes so my friends and I stole them from our parents...or even worse a store once.

None, I like where I am. I have made a lot of mistakes and was in a physically and emotionally abusive marriage. But God has healed all that in my soul, I got a wonderful child out of all that and I am now with my soul mate. I believe everything happens for a reason, I took a few wrong turns but God put me back on His path which I thank Him for every day.
