German was more of an issue when I had a trip to Germany pending. Not playing as many video games (I was a pretty big gamer in high school, though I all but stopped in college) and taking more road trips (and generally socializing more) sound like pretty good messages to pass along, as well. @Ryan: I do think it would be good to know another language, although if I was starting now (which I should…), I’d likely to choose something like Spanish that would be more applicable to my day to day life.

Compared to all the information I would probably try to pass along if I REALLY had access to time travel, this is nothing.

That's the thing about time travel; you can never be certain of whether you are making things better or worse.

Not to mention how much more fun I would try to have. Computer geek knowledge would be nice; I've been trying to learn, but with everything else there is to do, my time to read up on HTML is quite small. And yup, I was quite proud of my 1450 (and it meant some pretty small student loans to boot). As to the $250, I left a comment on your blog; all we need to do is settle on the terms and let me know how to get you the money. (Call it a donation to the Financial Samurai Fund, if nothing else ;) ) Indeed, indeed; so much that I would do if I could just spend a little time talking to my past self.
