Seniors: what are your regrets?

<p>i regret wasting time worrying about trying to be friends with the “popular” crowd. i’ve realized now that i won’t miss them next year and they won’t miss me. I’m lucky to have found a few friends who are always going to be a part of my life.</p>

<p>I also regret not dating more (or at all) I’ve had the chance but always turned guys down because I thought I could do better- I couldn’t.</p>

<p>I regret not taking the ACT or applying for more AP classes. We barely have any AP classes anyways, should’ve taken advantage of it. I also should’ve taken a summer school class my junior summer. I’ve taken summer school for all my years but then. They’re canceling them this year because of budgeting, so the freshmen are as screwed as the departing senior class. (Current Sophomore and Junior classes got to take Advanced Summer School)</p>

<p>not studying for SATs enough and sticking to my same clique of friends until this year.</p>

<p>my regrets is that i would have strived to make straight A’s.
don’t get me wrong-i make good grades, i have more A’s than B’s on my transcripts.
but i think that i would have strived to make @ least a 93 rather than a 90.
but hey’s it’s all good, high schools almost over, i have a 4.0 GPA, & i’m going to college!</p>

<p>daughter’s greatest regret is that she had to give up the piano for the most of high school. With the advent of getting her ED acceptance, however, she restarted piano and doesn’t have to be nagged to practice. After the hyper-rigors of her high school, she considers playing to be a great way to decompress, and we are having to pull her away from the piano.</p>

<p>not applying for the USSYP looked like an amazing experience…i love the position im in and i think my intense HS experience really has me fully prepared for college</p>

<p>i really like the fact that i lived high school with few regrets…ok so i had a few “interesting” relationships and drunken stories but who hasnt lol</p>

<p>not studying for SAT.
taking ap STAT which got me a C for the first time in my senior year…:frowning:
not applying to school i really liked since i thought im not qualified enough or for financial reasons.</p>

<ul>
<li>not studying for the SAT</li>
<li>not having the balls to apply to UPenn Wharton ED</li>
<li>not trying out for the tennis team freshmen year</li>
</ul>

<p>but whatever, i’m going to nyu - stern =]</p>

<p>My biggest regret is allowing myself to get lost in the mess that is high school and losing myself in the process. I was never the person I wanted the be, who is who I really am. Now that I realized that, it’s time to start over and try again.</p>

<p>…I know it’s sappy, but it’s true. =/</p>

<p>I must also say that I should’ve tried out for track team. Based on how much I’ve ran this year, it seems like I’m faster than anyone else I know right now.</p>

<p>Not challenging myself more, not really understanding how important/beneficial AP classes are.
Not trying out for the swim team freshman year.
Not studying enough for the SATs.</p>

<ul>
<li>Getting kicked out of a club that meant a lot to me because I was an idiot and didn’t devote enough time to it.</li>
</ul>

<p>It actually hurt more than being rejected from my dream school. The college was just an abstract ideal to strive towards. The club was something I devoted countless hours to, and it was something I was truly passionate about.</p>

<p>Moral of the story: Don’t do everything “for” college. The most successful people I know (or at least those who I know will become successful) have a strong passion. You will end up at a good college that you want to attend, so don’t feel like you have to sacrifice your interests for a name.</p>

<p>no regrets.</p>

<p>I have some regrets.
Point is if i could redo hs and not have any knowledge of what i know now. For example I wouldnt know i was redoing HS. I wouldnt do it. There are some events i wish i could go back but i wouldnt redo HS.</p>

<p>What about you guys.</p>

<p>Too bad the famous imagination of “time machine” does not exist in reality.</p>

<p>So i guess you would do it?</p>

<p>Maybe skip freshmen year, and just take 10th grade… xD
But you made a good point… I don’t even know if it’s worth it after those miserable times in life that I lived through.</p>

<p>im a smart kid. Dont worry the next yrs of life will be cake.</p>

<p>Choosing all of my classes based on what would look best for college admissions, I wish i would have taken more arts classes</p>

<p>screwing around with grades 10th and 11th grade then working my butt off all senior year</p>
