Sarah: So Adam, today weâre talking about do-overs. So what is something that you wish you would have done over? For example, maybe something in your university life?
Adam: Yeah. There are a few things. I might change my major. I studied education, and while I enjoy what Iâm doing right now, my free time I really like watching movies about science and astronomy. And if I would go back to school and start my studies over, Iâd probably study something along those lines, astronomy and metaphysics or something.
I think that those topics are really interesting and on the cutting edge of science and just fascinating to explore.
Sarah: Interesting. Anything else you wish you would have done?
Adam: I might have been more involved in the sports clubs at my school. For example, the American football team. I played in high school but in college, I wanted to play but I didnât have the motivation to push me over the edge to actually go out and really put my heart into it.
I went to one training day and kind of tried out, but I didnât really pursue it as much as I would have liked. I think it would have been fun to be a part of that culture and that environment.
Sarah: How about something that you did do that maybe now you wish you hadnât?
Adam: I pierced my ears in high school because that was the cool thing to do. But now I donât wear earrings. And yeah, looking back on it, kind of just a silly thing to do that Iâm trying to follow the trends, that, you know, trends usually pass.
So yeah, that would be something that I wouldnât do again.
Sarah: Nice. Anything else you would have changed?
Adam: I might have made different decisions about my girlfriends at the time. I had a really good girlfriend in the beginning of college, and things didnât work out because of a variety of reasons. But I think if we would have worked on it, we could have. We could have made it, made it happen. So yeah, thatâs something I think about sometimes about life in college.
Itâs always, you know, college love is kind of a crazy thing. So yeah, weâre too much like kids, I guess, I think at that age.
Sarah: Okay. Thanks, Adam.
