24HBD#24–I Wish Someone Had Told Me...

• That I would wish, at 24, that I had learned how to play piano as a kid.
• How little my profession seems to matter to my government.
• How much of an impact improv would have on my life, so that I may have started it sooner – and continued it sooner.
• How much friends would come to mean to me.
• How awesome it is to spend every day with your best friend.
• How cheesy that last one would sound.
• Not to be so meta in this blog post.
• They’d bet money against me doing home improvement projects.
• That I’d won the lotto.
• That country music is the worst.
• That nothing is really as awkward as I think it is.
• That friends are important in high school, too.
• That personal insecurities and social awkwardness aren’t real reasons for not reaching out and helping someone feel better.
• That online courses are 100x more stressful than in-person courses.
• How to apply for student loans.
• That I really don’t need to worry about what anyone thinks of me.
• That I only need to worry about what one person thinks of me.
• That I’d finish the second 24-hour blog day over two hours behind the original schedule.
• That even so, it won’t matter because you’re gonna do a good job anyway.
• To stop typing things.
• To seriously, cut it out.
