No Mulligan, No Do-Over, No Second Chance Going Back To San Jose State University

Today's blog is what if I take back my top mulligan from my life mulligans.

Update On A Past Blog

I wrote Top Ten My Life Mulligans on Mar 12, 2016. My number one mulligan is graduating with an accounting degree instead of an economics degree at San Jose State University (SJSU). I explore what if not doing a second chance going back to college. The short answer is too easy. Going back to SJSU is not real. I don't earn it. I admit reliving the 1990s correctly is the best opportunity to establish a solid baseline to become successful instead of being George Constanza unemployed and living with my parents. I also admit how I live my life mulligan is subjective; for example, do I relive the mulligan with the knowledge I know or do I relive the mulligan as if I never experienced SJSU graduating with an economics degree? I don't know the correct answer. I took a time machine back to my first day at SJSU without disrupting the time continuum. I blog the logical timeline the best I can.

My first semester I changed my major from mathematics to accounting. The degree change disrupted everything. I didn't need to take one computer science class. I didn't need to take three physics classes. I didn't need to take math classes calculus and above.

My second semester I didn't take volleyball on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It was stupid to drive to SJSU for one class. I could have realized I scheduled my classes for at least one day off a week. Also, I chose a new primary parking garage to park. If I parked at a new primary parking garage, then I didn't get a traffic ticket in front of the initial parking garage. And there is no volunteering for the Student California Teacher's Association which is the student version of the California Teacher's Association.

I concentrated on general education classes during my first year except for Calculus I during my second semester. I might have switched Calculus I for Accounting 1. All of the semesters thereafter were unknown because I took accounting classes for my major and economic classes for my minor. Maybe I double major in accounting and economics. My GPA went up continuously when I changed majors from mathematics to economics.

I had courage to take advantage of student services. I used their workout facilities to exercise. I read more books for which I buy used books at their library used bookstore. I watched more movies checking out movies at the library. I purchased condoms at the Student Health Center. I joined the anime club in my junior year.

I corrected my mistakes outside the SJSU campus. I focused less time studying because grades were overrated. I used the free time socializing. I find a part time job to improve my college resume. I learned basic stock investing outside the classroom. I quit piano. I watched less TV.

There was a drawback majoring in accounting. I didn't take my Economics Writing Workshop class. The professor taught my writing style today. Another drawback was a possibility I didn't get first day class registration priority. I was diagnosed with a learning disability on my third semester. Students with learning disabilities were given first day class registration priority. My English 1B professor submitted a request to the Disabled Services Center to be tested because I had reading problems.

In conclusion, reliving my SJSU years and reliving my 20s were too easy. Maybe thinking about life mulligans are a waste of time. Nobody can't go back to the past to correct mistakes.
