No, as much as there are parts of my life that I wished hadn't happened, I'm still alive.
By going back and changing things you could redirect your life to an early death.
And if my life hadn't played out the way it did I wouldn't have met Kichi, and that makes up for all the crappy bits.
If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

-If I had a time machine- rearranging the events of my life would probably be the last thing that occurred to me. I don't even think that I'd waste my time -in my time machine- scoping out any part of human history.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Just think... you could potentially have more shit before you got the time machine, maybe find a way to steal it from whoever you stole it from (we're talking hypothetical bullshit anyway).
I mean... STUFF.

Yeah... you have a time machine XD What more could you want?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Yah, I'm think HG wells type time machine chair - and if I can get the recliner option I'd probably just bolt a minifridge to it - and cruise around drunk and fat watching shit go down - pointing and laughing.
LOLtime?

I use a sort of time machine all the time to change my past.
By doing tantric meditation is possible to burn reactions from previous actions.
Once the reaction is gone you automatically don't have to worry anymore about your past or part of your past according to the effort that you put in that task.
Every action has got to have a reaction in the good or in the bad so the only way to avoid reactions is a lot of hard work and that work has got to be done internally.
The time can be manipulated has you wish but again is hard work.
Have you noted that when you are happy the time is so short but when you are not happy the time is longer and longer.
Again is all hard work and no external machine can help.

I'd probably prevent my birth. That will save me a ton of hassle.

Thus exposing the conundrum faced by any time traveler. If you are there to prevent your birth, you have either already failed at what you will one day attempt to do, or any specific timeline is ultimately meaningless faced with the reality of all possible timelines.

I dropped out of school as well
Took me 4 extra years or so to get into uni (but i got a language out of it)
I'd be tempted... (assuming 'back to the future' style time travel where its still actually 'you', just with a new history)
Nemo me impune lacessit.

I'd go back in time just to slap myself across the face and say "YOU HAVE A MENTAL DISORDER AND KNOW IT NOW DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT".
Which would do nothing, but it would sure feel good.

If I had a time machine I'd spend most of my time making it look like the TARDIS before I even took it for a ride.
And after that, well... I'd have a goddamn TARDIS. Why in the hell would I ever want to go back and look at something I've already seen?
