do overs
Which year of your life would you most like to live over again because it was great? And which year would you most like to live again so you could do things differently?
I’d love to re-live my senior year in college. My three closest friends and I had a two-room suite at the end of a hallway in the best dorm on campus. (One of the perks of having an RA as a roommate. The downside was we also had chores during fire drills.) I’ve never laughed so hard in my life or had so much innocent fun, which is the only kind you can have in western PA. It starts snowing in October and goes strong until April.
On the other hand, I’d like to re-do 2005 for some other reasons. Personally, professionally, emotionally, even physically—I’d make completely different choices knowing what I know now.
We don’t get a shot at either do-over, of course, but thinking about it can yield some good insights, maybe even some helpful discussions. Which years would you pick, and why?

I would love a do-over of last summer, when my gut told me to apply back at the school systems and I decided to stick it out with the nanny position. Would have worked well had the family decided to stick it out with me as well!
Re-living a few times in college would be a blast, but life keeps getting better for me, so I wouldn’t want to linger!
