I would move my ass to a first world country before I ran out of money to do so.

Although I'm only 19, there are a ton of things I wish I could go back and talk to past me. Too many times have I missed out on opportunities and lost advantages.

Ah well.

I'd have recognized the beauty of mathematics earlier so that I could be doing cooler stuff now.

I would have told myself not to study so much and to meet more girls.

Start meditating a lot earlier. Started mid 20's.
