What and how would you do it?! This is a HUGE general question. For me:
If I could do it over again, I would have never studied architecture and would have went to med school to become a Research Lab Technician.
If I could do it over again, I would have never sold my t-red CSVT, it was paid for. 
If I could do it over again, I would have accepted a manager position for a good buddy of mine's band, now called "The Killers".
If I could do it over again, I would have never came back from "Chicken Wing Zing 2005" and just lived there.So, lets' here what you guys wished you would have done, it's never too late to make changes in your life, but sometimes....you're just a few seconds shy of getting aboard the boat.

If you could do "it" over again....I wouldn't do anything differently. My life has finally came around to where I can say I am truelly happy and I wouldn't change anything for that. I am who I am from what I have experienced and I wouldn't change a thing.

I'm sure you are a bit "older" that I am (22 here). So... my life hasn't fully planted itself in the rut quite yet. It's getting there.

I would not have wasted years working in finanace as a cost accountant!
I would have spent more time with my dad, and taken him to Highbury for a footie game or two, and a couple of Test Matches too.
I would have bought an SVT instead of a Mystique in the first place.
I would not have looked at the "Watch the step" sign and fallen down the step in the pub ... left me with lasting ankle problems.
I would never have stopped playing football or rugby in my youth in the old country.
I would have got a mortgage to buy a house when I started my first job at 18, instead of renting for years.
Could go on, but that's the important stuff I guess.

If I could do it over again, I wouldn't have killed myself for top grades in school and had more fun instead - especially a damn social life.

I would have registered as a CEGer earlier.
I would have stopped sending The Contour to the dealer right after the warranty went out (6.5 years ago).

I'm 26 and I would definately say I'm not in a "rut" I was in a rut during college and the years that followed it. Evere since I bought my house life has been going uphill. I'm happy now more then ever and I'd never change that.
You can't be looking back saying I wish I would have done this or that. The choices you made make you....YOU. You can't change the past but can put yourself in the situation to do better in the future. Dwell on the past and you will find yourself in a RUT

I would have dated a certain girl when she wanted to date me several years ago.
I would have never smoked pot, but at the same time I think I would have eventually had to go thru that stage to get to this point. (Never smoked cigs too)

Exactly. There are many 'mistakes' that I've made, but I can't say I'd prefer to have not made those mistakes. I've learned too much from past decisions that I can't imagine who I'd be without them.
Having said that, I only have one true regret, and that's that I lost touch with everyone I grew up with in Wisconsin. Over the last few years I've learned how important people who have known you your entire life are. I moved when I was 13 and didn't keep in touch with anyone after I left.
I would also probably focus my schoolwork differently. I'd most certainly go into computer programming and/or internet technologies instead of psychology if I could do it all over again.
