Stuff that would theoretically have been possible, in no particular order:

develop better study & time management skills so college doesn’t kick my ass nearly so badly
walk on to the college’s cross country team. After all, it was a D3 school, they’ll take just about anyone. Would’ve been a great way to avoid putting on 60 pounds in school.
spend more time taking advantage of the free therapy sessions in the student health center and maybe God forbid not fall as far into the pit of depression

All of this. Wish I had applied myself and found someone to tell me constant criticism for making mistakes isn't normal.
