<p>Screwing around 9th grade. Not taking more AP/Honors classes. Not retaking the SAT.</p>
<p>I have two real regrets:
- Not focusing during the first semester of my junior year. I just totally forgot about school and I paid for it. If it weren’t for my grades that semester, I probably could have applied and gotten into better schools. Don’t get me wrong, I got in UCLA, USC, and UCSD this weekend, but it just hurts seeing people who I am just as smart as getting into better schools because one semester messed me up.
- Not realizing what I really like doing earlier. It was all right in front of me, and I just kind of refused to look at it. This year I am finally doing what I like the way I like. This also means not letting my parents dictate to me what I should be doing. I started doing some pretty amazing things this year (broadcasting, Mock Trial, etc) that I wish I had done before. Before this, all I wanted was more stuff to put on my resume.</p>
<p>Probably…not studying more for the SAT, not starting to look at colleges until the beginning of senior year, and not applying for more scholarships sooner.</p>
<p>Another regret i have is wasting time on things especially video games. I have a new goal that hopefully will come true. Become a millionaire b4 i turn 22 yrs old.</p>
<p>Not believing enough in myself to trust that I can cope with a more rigorous curriculum.
…many more.</p>
<p>but boy am i glad high school is over!</p>
<p>Taking a dump in the school’s bathroom.</p>
<p>Definitely not pushing myself hard enough.</p>
<p>@ moe- how do you regret taking a dump in the bathroom? I do it all the time.</p>
<p>Letting people take advantage of me first semester of AP Bio, thus dragging down my lab grades.
Not continuing my language senior year. I don’t have room, but I really miss it.
Hanging out with the wrong people in freshman & sophmore year.
Going to a school where praying is more important than learning.</p>
<p>Knocking up two baby mamas. Child support is a biotch.</p>
<p>Further losing my 4.0 (freshman year: B+), and further losing my 3.98 junior year. 4 AP’s, an internship at a law firm (clocked in nearly 150 hours), debate, more debate, consumed by forensics…burned out by April. </p>
<p>Apathetic towards my second B+, thinking that “it’s JUST one more…” </p>
<p>Applied ED II to a college I thought I’d get deferred to RD, but DIDN’T. Thus, ruined my plans of hearing back from my dream college for EE 4 weeks after my acceptance.
(I’m not complaining, but I’m not completely satisfied. I’m content.)</p>
<p>This thread makes me really sad and nostalgic… Even its mostly depressing screw ups and mistakes, it makes me miss high school. Even though I’m only a senior. Buzzkill.</p>
<p>^ Aww 
:/</p>
<ul>
<li>Too many extracurriculars</li>
<li>Lost focus on things I really cared about</li>
<li>Not pushing ahead freshman year</li>
<li>Not moving out of my house… lol</li>
</ul>
<p>i didnt do anythingg frosh and sophomore year… extracurricular wise… i had band and soo much free time… i wish i wasnt as afraid to branch out to more stuff that interested me my junior/senior year. i met so many new friends that way…</p>
<p>and a regret as a senior for my senior year is taking 5 aps. i sorta regret it just cause senioritis is hitting me hard. and i do the bare minimum work now… and i get annoyed whenever i do get work. i thought the aps would safeguard me from slacking off… but it failed.</p>
<p>F****** up junior year.
F****** up what I had with a beautiful girl who liked me and who I now wish I was with.
Choosing the wrong group of friends, much less exciting than some of the other people I hang with less often.
Not being more outgoing.
Taking AP Biology because my teacher is insane, and I just don’t care enough about it anymore.
Not starting apps earlier and making my Christmas Break this year hell.</p>
<p>1) Finding out that I had this disease earlier :[… would have helped me a lot in high school</p>
<p>Hopefully I can pull off the bare 3.0 minimum that is required for the college I got accepted to</p>
<p>I kind of enjoyed high school. My main regret, though, was forgetting about college until Junior year. I could have gotten a much better GPA by simply turning in a few papers for easy A’s, but I couldn’t be bothered back then. It’s still good enough for the college I wanted to go to, but options would have been nice.</p>
<p>I’ll probably be more nostalgic once in Boston, but now, I’m sitting back and enjoying my last days as a senior. Enjoy it folks, we won’t be back on top again for awhile.</p>
<p>I don’t really regret anything… not even my senioritis.</p>
<p>I guess I regret not filling out the Coca-Cola scholarship after becoming a semi-finalist. That was pretty stupid.</p>
<p>I probably only regret not working harder sophomore and junior year… but then again I think I worked as hard as I could. So no regrets really… maybe not being more involved.</p>
