"If you could have a 'do-over' of any kind, what would you use it for, and what would you do differently this time?"

I'd do uni again!  BUT not differently, not really: AGAIN, two more times.  (At least.)

In one I'd study even harder.  I'd read the secondary and tertiary texts.  (I didn't have time in my first degree, I SWEAR, I DIDN'T have time!).  I'd audit lots of extra modules, and write two essays each time not just one, and I'd do one presentation a month for each module.  I'd join discussion groups, debating groups....  I'd harass professors into coffees with literary chat.  (Well tea.  I don't like coffee.)

Then, the third time, I'd do NOTHING, or the very least needed to pass my degree.  And I'd join the badminton club, squash club, hiking club, football team.  I'd join a choir, a dancing club, a band.  I'd be in writing club, filmaking club.  I'd write an article every week for Concrete.  I'd volunteer in every single way, and I'd do open mics reading out all my new stories, go to art exhibitions, and all of that kind of stuff in town.

If I couldn't do uni another two times...I guess I'd just go back to the first time and make sure I saw Em, and my other friends more - as much as possible.
