<p>i would pick a different HS to go to.</p>
<p>A lot. I would actually study in middle school and my first 2 years of high school. As a junior, my gpa is low. I would do more community service. I would not eat so much(overweight now). I would practice basketball more to get on the team. I would engage myself with people.</p>
<p>I regret staying home from activities where I could've made friends.</p>
<p>^ I'd probably take my SAT my soph year rather than Junior</p>
<p>and also I think I'll push harder on the department head peoples to let me into their honors classes.</p>
<p>I would:</p>
<p>Definitely work harder during my first semester junior year. But since I cant go back, Im going to working my brains out this second semester.</p>
<p>Not quit cross country last year. I realized I was as busy as I thought I was going to be. I miss running and talking and meeting people from other schools during the meets :[</p>
<p>DEFINITELY should have picked different classes. Instead of Leadership 1, which is really a complete waste of time and teaches no leadership whatsoever, I should have taken AP Psych. and Chem instead of P.E. And I should have known better than to talk with my counselor, who is COMPLETELY USELESS AND KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT COLLEGE and seems to want to make students mad. I most definitely shoudl have talked to the vice principal.</p>
<p>Nothing.
It's insane to think I can change any one thing, even one little thing, and expect it to have the single effect I'm aiming for. Most likely it'll mess everything up, and I like my life. I'd only change something if I absolutely hated my life.</p>
<p>I would've
1) Bought music somewhere other than iTunes, now I'm kind of stuck with crappily encrypted music</p>
<p>2) Not embarrassed myself in college by ranking the people I knew in order of how much I liked them, then thoughtlessly showing it to the person ranked lowest on the list</p>
<p>3) Not embarrassed myself by posting personal things on College Confidential, it turns out a lot of people from school read this forum and I am easily identifiable</p>
<p>4) Not put off writing my paper for a year, because now my advisor probably hates me and he's the one who's writing me a reference for grad school</p>
<p>4.5) Not worried as much about people stealing my work and screwing me out of authorship, she might be an ass but did I really need a first-author paper? It kind of took the fun out of research for me.</p>
<p>5) Become a vegetarian sooner</p>
<p>6) Collaborated more on problem sets freshman year</p>
<p>7) Not abused my body in high school, good grades are not worth 4 hours of sleep a night</p>
<p>8) Finished abstract algebra instead of taking an F, because I totally could've gotten an A if I'd bothered to turn in the assignments</p>
<p>Everything else I'm a-okay with</p>
<p>i would have done more communitiy service</p>
<p>I wouldn't have tried so hard in middle school.
Go to a better high school and try SO much harder.
Think a lot more about SAT's and college.</p>
<p>NOTHING.</p>
<p>Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.</p>
<p>I would have begged my parents to put me into public school sooner.
My last 3-4 years of private school did absolutely nothing but hold me back.</p>
<p>Everything</p>
<p>Back 12 years, I would be 6.</p>
<p>I would not be a quiet kid who did nothing but sit there. I would try to be a trouble maker.</p>
<p>1st, I would've decided to be a nerd with my head always in a book going into freshmen year, because now, (currently a junior) I am paying for slacking off my freshmen/sophomore year =. </p>
<p>2nd, I wish i would've took/played piano instead of trumpet. About 2 years ago, I got into producing and playing piano is a lot more beneficial then the trumpet lol. Although, learning to play by ear isn't all bad.</p>
<p>Well...I would be like 2-4 yrs old.</p>
<p>1) Start off "extracurricular activities." Start some instrument and some sport 'cause I'm really far behind if I want to start now. When I was little, I did nothing but watch TV while everyone else learned stuff that they're probably competing with these days. Everyone's probably on a sports team or w/e and I'm...idk if you can put "co-owning a big website" on your resume.</p>
<p>2) Enjoyed myself. I was so shy and couldn't leave my parents for like a second.</p>
<p>I would have liked to be more obnoxious during middle school, now knowing that all detentions/suspensions are stricken from your record upon entering HS and all of your grades don't mean anything (well...until 8th grade for HS placement).</p>
<p>Nothing, I am who I am.</p>
<p>dang i should have falcon punched my teachers</p>
<p>Nothing, except maybe play more sports. I wish I was a baller...</p>
<p>pick up a guitar and start practicing like hell until i become the next Jimmy Hendrix or something...</p>
