I regret taking summer vacations for granted growing up. I wish I would have savored them more.

I wish I would have enjoyed them more had I realized freedom essentially died the moment I turned 18 and graduated school. I took them for granted. I used to complain about being bored but now I'd give anything to be bored. I'd give anything to stay up all night and get up whenever I felt like it. To be carefree, stressfree running around with friends drinking iced tea and running through sprinklers sounds awfully good. The only worry then was what to watch on tv or who to spend time with that day. Now I'm constantly worried about money and trying to get my life together. I'm exhausted all the time because of it.
