As humans I think it is pretty easy to think things like "I wish I had known this", "I wish I had done this", "I wish I was in...". I do that myself a lot of times.

However, I try to force my mind to think the following way: my experience (now on my 7th year as a professional software developer (oh wow, I feel old now...)) has taken me where I am today and it's better to focus on the things you've done that make you proud. Try not to regret but learn from your past experiences. Picture yourself where you want to be in the following 1-2 years (a realistic goal) and work for it.
