Everyone goes through life experiencing enough mistakes and resulting damage that, by the time they are old enough, they have regrets. They say hindsight is 20/20 and when you look back at your life you will know what moments you should have changed. However, we want to help you out. Forget hindsight. Weve compiled a list of the 37 things youmust not do or else you will definitely regret them at the end of your life. Just read through these and trust us. Itll be worth it.
