<p>not studying for the SATs enough</p>
<p>Even though I was very lazy and had mediocre grades, there is not that much I regret about highschool. The only thing I can think is not studying for the SATs, and having that only having that one time I took it (when I was only 16) on my record. Other than that, everything turned out great. If anything, it would be alot easier for me to name a list of thing that I am glad I did because they completely changed my life for the better.</p>
<p>Not Studying enough for the national LifeSmarts competition.</p>
<p>Getting a B in calc. my sophmore year and not finding this place sooner.</p>
<p>Not going out as much.</p>
<ul>
<li>not taking the ACT (got 1,940 combined on SAT, which SUCKS)</li>
</ul>
<p>-</p>
<p>Not having enough fun. I'm not the get drunk partying type, but there were too many weekend nights I was at home with nothing to do. I should have made more of an effort to call people up and do stuff.</p>
<p>yeah</p>
<p>i have the same type of regrets as all of you: i wish i had studied harder and partied more. i really didn't take school seriously until junior year, which was too late to allow me to get into the top schools to which I applied. i wish i'd worked harder generally, not been so resentful of my new private school (which prevented me from working harder), and yet gone out more. i have done some partying, but wish i'd done more. </p>
<p>at the same time i made a lot of my HS years. Life is tradeoffs. If I stayed at my huge supercompetitive magnet school, I would've either worked myself to death and made it into an ivy, or burnt out and failed halfway through. as it is, i was able to discover many new activities and talents (cross country, track, its academic) and make an impact (captain of 2 sports). i wish i'dve gone to more parties, and if i'd stayed at the public school, probably would have (alot less jocks and preps, more regular kids). At the same time, I was and am friends with an amazing group of people whom I've really enjoyed hanging out with. So really, there are no certain things in life, no point in regretting anything, because there's no certain set path in it leading anywhere. I feel like I managed to have a great combination between a social life and academic success, and anyway got into a good enough college. I guess that, despite my best efforts to the contrary, everything worked out in the end.</p>
<p>Focus on soccer more so i could play more than one year through high school. Go out and party more. Meet more people and be more open to making new friends. Not waste time trying to get girls that weren't right for me, and not taking the ones right in front of me that were. Eh, the list goes on. Academically speaking, i dont regret anything. Even blowing off ap chem and making a 3 on the exam is fine, i didnt learn anything in that class anyways.</p>
<p>Discovering college confidential?</p>
<p>Being too quiet
Worrying about the SAT too much</p>
<p>Sucking on the SAT
Burning out COMPLETELY during senior year (unfortunate for midyear reports)
Taking APG (hardest class i've EVER taken)
Taking AP Environmental (also difficult)
Not taking music theory
Not having more EC's than I thought were sufficient enough
Obssessing over the ivies when I never needed htem in the 1st place
Going to high school (it was just a waste of life. I hated it)
Getting a B- in gym b/c i didn't do anything (not athletic)
Letting time go slowly (in sr. year)...graduation needs2speed its little arse up
Not partying ever (EVER)...i'll be the only clean person in college (at first :P)
Worrying what people think of me--I have since abandoned that POV
Not taking enough ap classes
Not having sufficient voice teachers for voice auditions in college (>:O)
Coming out in high school (BIG MISTAKE!)--well at the time i thought it was
Slipping into the cutthroat regime
Procrastinating WAY too much w/cc!!!!!!</p>
<p>not out of high school yet ;)</p>
<p>naidu90, so you're the geico caveman i've seen all this time, eh?! YAY</p>

<p>I would have probably partied a little more.. if I knew in 9th grade that my biggest asset for college admissions was going to be results from a test I didn't even study for, I would definitely had more fun.
I would also have definitely been more outgoing. </p>
<p>One thing I am happy about was that I went with my gut about where to apply to college! :)</p>
<p>I agree with CoolaTroopa! I would have gone out and had more fun...I think I missed out on a lot frosh/soph year b/c I would stay home to study instead of go out and have fun!</p>
<p>too scared to tell the guy that I liked him</p>
<p>being so lazy after i pushed so hard in freshman year..i gave up after that pretty much.</p>
