I’m not saying that I'm unhappy, after all, my job does pay the bills, but there are some things I 1. 1. would have chosen, 2. hadn’t listened, 3. had decided, 4. would have changed, 5. would have been, 6. would have got, 7. had studied, 8. had learnt, 9. would have had if I had had the chance. I regret quite a few things and I think it was all caused by my inability to organise things properly. Firstly, if I     2. 1. would have chosen, 2. hadn’t listened, 3. had decided, 4. would have changed, 5. would have been, 6. would have got, 7. had studied, 8. had learnt, 9. would have had     to manage my time when I was still at school, I     3. 1. would have chosen, 2. hadn’t listened, 3. had decided, 4. would have changed, 5. would have been, 6. would have got, 7. had studied, 8. had learnt, 9. would have had     more able to organise myself properly.

Unfortunately, my parents forced me to do it.

Another thing is the sheer amount of tasks I have to complete, which can be mentally exhausting. It is such a burden at times! I am currently taking a course on project management. I wish I had done it sooner! If I     8. 1. would have chosen, 2. hadn’t listened, 3. had decided, 4. would have changed, 5. would have been, 6. would have got, 7. had studied, 8. had learnt, 9. would have had     to do it earlier, I     9. 1. would have chosen, 2. hadn’t listened, 3. had decided, 4. would have changed, 5. would have been, 6. would have got, 7. had studied, 8. had learnt, 9. would have had     that promotion last year.
