    I wouldn't go back. Going back means your future would change and I'm very happy with where I am in my life right now. I no longer feel stuck. I have a great boyfriend, I found my major and will start at a Cal State in the fall. I'm getting a job that applies to my major, which I am very passionate about. I wouldn't want anything to influence that.

    Answered I Could Change History

    ohh, being a history major I have thought about this alot. Hell Yeah I Would!!!! I would go back to a lot of different places and times. I would totally change the world. Fist I would rule something somewhere because I know how it is going to go so I would have the advantage. I would invent (at least it would be an invention to them) all types of things especially weopons. People would think I knew everything...cause I would. You name the place and time and I could take it over

    I would go back to the 1800's and the old west. Would I try to change anything? That all depends if my present memory was intact or I had only a limited knowledge equal to the time I went back to. But chances are I wouldn't change anything. To do so would be interfering with the natural order of things and could end up creating a bigger mess in the future.

    It's so tempting to want to change things, but the fact that I would have to leave my loved ones would probably make me stay here in the present. Maybe just go back a year and bet heavily on the Giants winning the Super Bowl :)

    leave loved stay year bet heavily giants winning super bowl

    There are somethings in my past I would love to change, but I would not want to stay there. I have been blessed with a beautiful little girl, and wouldn't give her up for anything

    That is admirable, AB. Sadly, I think whoever did it would just try again.

    If there was no way to return to this point of time then I would not do it. I love my current time in life too much to give it up.
