Do you get embarrassed when you look back at your old posts?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
21

<p>Haha, I remember my "what are my chances thread." It was quite embarrassing, really. Though Ben Golub said that I had pretty good chances at Caltech, I ended up looking really neurotic and misguided.</p>

<p>I also posted one of those threads for Chicago.</p>

22

<p>Kind of, not really. My old username was deleted from the old CC forums, so I had to make a new one anyway.</p>

23

<p>haha yes. really. it's kinda funny to look back on some of the posts though. (and I plan on disappearing and reappearing with a new username sometime during junior year)</p>

24

<p>No, but on messageboards that I've been on for about 4 years, yes</p>

25

<p>It also kind of depends on the forum environment. I don't feel bad ranting about the school system since I know that no one's going to see my ranting (and I am very caustic about the educational system). But if say, someone from real life comes and sees my posts, then I'd be embarrassed.</p>

<p>School rants are very common on online forums. Hahaha, they're the best place to post them.</p>

26

<p>Yes, sometimes I do.</p>

27

<p>I've had multiple other names. On one i, like many other people, did a chances thread which was a disaster. Now I just laugh at how ignorant i was. I also remember getting into a fight with either ChaosTheory or Jonathan but for some reason I think it was the latter. Needless to say I made a new username after that. Then I also got into a fight about how newsweek ranks high schools. Although most of those thinks (besides the chances threads) were my true opinions, I realized i should keep some things to myself on here and learn how to get my points across in a more pleasant manner.</p>

28

<p>yeah... I try not to look at my old posts.
and the sad thing is it hasn't even been a year.
I did have another username before this one, but hardly any posts.</p>

29

<p>haha probably. i should make a new account soon before people start thinking i'm a rich spoiled brat, which tends to be the general impression of people, at least according to some of the pms i've gotten : )</p>

<p>Yes. I also find your mis-spelling of my name rather amusing. I remember when I used to pay only slight attention to the names of forumers (and went about remembering them subvocally, rather than by profile idiosyncrasies)- I ended up confusing forumers with similar names to each other. </p>

<p>In any case, I changed my name because I wanted an easier way to search through my old posts using the forum search engine (with only 250 maximum). </p>

<p>I used to be thisyearsgirl, but I'd really rather no one look me up. :o</p>

<p>I'm also embarrassed about some of my posts between Ivy decisions and tonight, but I think I've rebounded, mostly.</p>

35

<p>Inquilinekea- hahaha i spell EVERTHING WRONG!</p>

36

<p>Like your last post ^^</p>

<p>Excellent n00b reading for the bored:

37

<p>Not really, but I did use an excessive amount of “:)” in my early days.</p>

38

<p>HL, I hate when you bump old posts and give me hope that people are back :p. </p>

<p>Anyway, yes I do. Especially most posts from 8th grade (2004?). There was a time when I cared more about the name of a college than the college itself and worried constantly about what would “look good” to colleges rather than doing what would make me happy. <em>shudder</em> glad those days ended around 9th grade :).</p>

39

<p>^^I did as well. There are some embarrassing posts that I’ve made. The amount of emoticons that I used to incorporate into my posts was also somewhat excessive.</p>

<p>I’m embarassed that I posted a chance me thread when I first got on here. Other than that I don’t mind much because I don’t really run into my old posts mostly because I don’t really go looking for them.</p>
