I wish I may

If I could go back and do it all differently, here's what I would change.

I'd have been more involved in non-profit groups. I'd have liked to work with Big Brothers/Sisters or the Boys and Girls Club. It would have been nice to have worked at a summer camp. It looks good on a resume if you have a few years of charity work or community work, and I'm sure it gives one a sense of satisfaction or fulfillment.

I'd have taken classes that focused on new media. I took a few of those, but really, most of my classes were about news writing and now I'm graduating with little knowledge about the web and multimedia. I would have taken a course on radio broadcasting, or something like that, too.

I would have gotten an internship sooner. I feel like I put it off. My first really valuable internship is at the HT, and I'm currently a senior. I could have gotten some summer internships sophomore and senior year, and I'd be ahead of the game.

That said, here's what I would never give up, and I'm proud to say I've done:
I wrote for three years for the school paper.
I spent a semester abroad.
I learned how to work in a restaurant and met some great people in the process.
I have a solid group of friends and some of the best memories.
I wrote for a small, local publication about the environment.
I learned to live alone and love it.
