<p>I don’t think I would actually want to go back to college, but I do think about things I would’ve done differently. But overall, I don’t think I’m that far from where I want to be and I know what I want to do to get there - so mostly what I’d change are smaller things. The biggest is that I would’ve double-majored in math (but I’m remedying my deficiency in math by planning an MS in biostatistics), and I would’ve taken my language study more seriously. I would’ve switched to Spanish or Japanese in my first semester, instead of finishing out French, and studied abroad somewhere different - somewhere Spanish-speaking or Japan. I wanted to take Japanese in my first semester and my college has a nice Japan studies program, but I had odd advisement from a professor who told me to finish my French so that I could get out of the language requirement. Long story short, it snowballed into me not being able to study abroad in Japan like I originally intended because I didn’t have enough Japanese by that time! I also would’ve joined a sorority, I think.</p>
<p>But those are all small things, or things that can be fixed - so I wouldn’t go back. I enjoyed college but I am enjoying graduate school much more, and looking forward to postdocs and life thereafter.</p>
