    Does that change it?
    Changes it big time for me. Been there done that. I don't hate or even dislike the life I have had overall, but I don't want to do the same things all over again.

        why would we want to do the same thing again just to end up here only to be sent back again? AM i missing the point? Or are other things going to be different?

        If I hve to go back can I at least change my mind and take typing class this time?

            This is how I feel. However, I could be persuaded to do college again. It was even more fun and I had danimal there with me.
            What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

                High school? no. College? Maybe. College was fun.

                    Well... the problem is that by retaining your adult self's knowledge, it changes the experience substantially.

                    It's not really a true high school experience in that case. I was just asking if people enjoyed that ride so much they'd do it again.

                    I guess you wouldn't appreciate it, but maybe that's not the point.

                        High school and college? Absolutely. I'd even redo the last two years of law school.

                        I wouldn't do my mission over again. The way Lingo feels about high school is the way I felt about the mission. You're thrown in with some great guys and some total weirdos only you have to sometimes live with the weirdo 24 hours a day.
                        Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                            It would be fun to go back only if I could retain all my current knowledge. I'm sitting here at a bakery by myself and just caught a middle aged woman staring at me. It would be way more fun to be a teenage boy with teenage girls staring at me.

                                do I have to go on a mission again? If yes then the answer is definitely no I would not go back.

                                    This is how I feel. Except for football. I'd love to play HS football again, especially if you let me do it before I lost all that weight (I was an offensive lineman). It would be a different experience to play tackle at 250 than it was to play it at 175.

                                                How about I had a great time, but why would I want to go back?

                                                    I would totally do it again. For me high school was awesome. I can see how that might not be so for others.

                                                        No, it pretty much sucks. I was 285-300 lbs in high school, and playing tackle sucked; you lose all your lateral speed at that weight when it's not muscle.

                                                            I'd do it again, even if it's just a repeat.

But even though I was hardly popular, I will never have as many people I would consider friends or acquaintances as I did in high school. Building relationships takes a lot of time for me, and there were so many people I felt comfortable with and knew to some degree. The girls, too.
