What would you have done differently?
Not too much, got into my dream master's program so am really very excited. UK schools rarely (if ever?) give TA/RA positions to undergraduates so I am not too worried about lacking experience there.
If I had to mention something, I would say improve my grades. A's across the board, in difficult subjects, is absolutely essential.
