If I could time-travel back to high school...
...I'd cut my hair, be more clean-cut rather than going with the Southern rock look.
...I'd accept that scholarship at UT Martin, even if they didn't have the exact program I wanted.
...I'd make it a point to start a business as soon as I had driver's license in hand. Lawn care, maybe. If it was progressing nicely at the time of high school graduation, well, college would just have to wait.
...I'd practice guitar and study music religiously. I'd make it my life goal to evolve into a six-string, coffee house prophet.
...I'd begin competing in 5ks, then 10ks. I'd run my first marathon at age 18.
...I'd make it a rule to save 10% of every single paycheck, every birthday-card dollar, every cent. And I'd become anal about it, continuing this habit for the rest of my life, never touching the nest egg until it was necessary.
...I'd major in English.
...I'd enter college with the goal of gaining instruction and experience that would allow me to telecommute and be self-employed for the rest of my work life.
...I'd live in a big city for at least a year.
...After my year in the big city, I'd buy a place and never pay rent again.
