Regret it at 40

(Premiere Prep/Coed Magazine)

According to Coed magazine online, here are the top 10 things you do when you're young that you're bound to regret when you're older.

10. Body Piercing Plugs -- Nothing about giant disks in your ears translates well when you're an honest-to-goodness adult.

9. Naughty Internet Pictures -- Pictures from that wild trip to Vegas will either get you fired from your job, divorced from your wife, or estranged from your children.

8. Tattoos -- A tattoo (especially one that can't be hidden) is a constant reminder that you were once a dolt. And, that tattoo's colors aren't getting any more vibrant.

7. Choosing Your Best Friend's Girlfriend Over Your Best Friend -- A friendship you and your best buddy had built up since you were six can never be replaced.

6. Getting Married Too Young -- Grow up and get rich before even THINKING of settling down.

5. Not Traveling (Enough) -- Being older means dealing with heavy responsibilities. Your best bet is to travel as much as you can while you're single and childless.

4. Not Finishing School -- Not having a college degree usually means getting an OK job, doing OK stuff, and having OK things.

3. Smoking -- There's nothing cool about spending the last days of your life fighting lung cancer.

2. Bad Credit -- Don't get greedy and buy a bunch of stupid crap when you can't afford it. The banks lick their chops every time a stupid 20-something signs up for one of their credit cards.

1. Not Spending More Time With Your Parents -- They are the two most important people you have, and they will be gone before you know it.
