<p>a) Done my homework in Pre-Cal. A's on the tests, 85 in the class because of low homework grades.</p>
<p>b) Same as above, not getting early onset Senioritis.</p>
<p>c) Gotten involved in ECs during freshman year instead of sophomore</p>
<p>d) stuck with baseball instead of quitting during 8th grade.</p>
<p>homeschooled</p>
<p>I regret swimming for my high school team my senior year. I should have just stuck with club swimming and concentrated on my college apps instead of going through the team drama!</p>
<p>And I shouldn't have signed up for so many darn IB exams, that I don't even really need! (I signed up for five :()</p>
<p>But I really don't regret anything, because with each experience I gain something new anyway.</p>
<p>There are a lot of regrets here about math.</p>
<p>I wish I would have tried out for Cheerleading this year instead of sitting on my behind all year (Junior year)
I wish I would have Doubled up on Science at some point.
I wish I would've tried harder to get some A+s to bring up my GPA when I really could've easily done that I just didn't realize it at the time.
I wish I would have understood Alg I while I was in it so I would have saved Freshmen GPA.
I wish I would care all year and not have to worry about raising my grades this time of year...
I wish I would study for the SATs
I wish I would take SAT IIs</p>
<p>I wish I would've switched my math teacher when I had the chnace b/c she doesn't teach, and I wish I would've doubled up on science last yr instead of taking theater b/c I was bored all yr.</p>
<p>Practiced taking the SAT in middle school.</p>
<p>It's easy to say that I wish I hadn't used depression as an excuse not to do my best freshman year, I wish I'd taken honors bio, I wish I'd pursued a romantic relationship with that girl, I wish I'd studied more for the Spanish subject test, I wish I'd applied to more schools in NYC and Boston and less in California and Miami.</p>
<p>But then again, if I'd done all those things, maybe I'd regret pushing myself too hard in school when I needed to focus on getting better emotionally, jumping up to honors science too soon after a bad freshman year in other areas, wasting valuable time senior year trying to get a girlfriend instead of focusing on school and college apps, stressing too much over the subject test, and not taking a chance on a few good schools just because they're so far from home. You never know.</p>
<p>Basically, I've really liked high school. These last couple of years have been awesome. I know I've made plenty of mistakes, and I'm sure I'll make more in the last semester, but I'll survive. I'll enjoy what's left of senior year, I'll go to a good college (be it near or far from home), and I'll be just fine.</p>
<p>salamander: now that's what I call a good attitude!</p>
<p>I would have actually made more friends with people in my grade instead of only making friends with older kids who would inevitably leave for college and forget about me.</p>
<p>I also wish I would have taken classes at my local CC for English instead of doing AP English at my school.</p>
<p>Started studying for standardized tests earlier!</p>
