Seniors: what are your regrets?

<p>Not taking community college classes and not taking pre-cal junior year. And not studying for my ACT/SAT, which I could have done way better on. (Academic wise) And then, social or etc wise I wish I had chosen better friends freshman year, it would have made things a little different. I also wish my school wasn’t so clique-y. I don’t think that’s something I could personally change one-handedly, but it’d have been nice to try at least.</p>

<p>Okay enough regrets… I’m happy :slight_smile: Life, yes!!</p>

<p>not studying enough for my SAT II’s and some of my AP’s! I SOOO could have done better!</p>

<p>And I wish I had been healthier. I would mind getting a few hours of sleep each day and taking less ap classes. or even getting a b. my healthy and mental sanity clearly suffered.</p>

<p>I have no regrets. However, I do wish I had more time to play games and sleep, but then I don’t wish that because then my grades would have been low. It’s a paradox.</p>

<p>I wish I had been nicer to some of my classmates.</p>

<p>Not living up to my potential. I know hardly anybody ever does, but I shudder to think of the thousands of hours I must have wasted these past few years when I could have been making something more of myself.</p>

<p>I’m changing now, but it’s still hard to consider what I could easily have accomplished since age fourteen … you know?</p>

<p>I don’t regret much, because everything has been a learning experience, and I am incredibly thankful to have made so many mistakes in high school. Hopefully I won’t make too many in my future. I wish I had just stressed out so much less over high school and college. I think I lost a lot of sleep and life expectancy over my nerves related to every part of the process. There’s a lot I could have changed, but I probably would never have learned anything if I had just had an easy way through high school.</p>

<p>That is a brave and admirable admission. You still have a few months left to make amends. And you’ll accrue some good karma for yourself. And you might even extend some of that contrition to the (very clever) math girl you bashed for doing the math dances for the Tufts’ application videos.</p>

<p>-doing terribly fresh and soph years, if i was making the grades i was junior and senior year i would have been MUCH higher ranked
-cheating on my girlfriend a few weeks ago and getting dumped as a result of not telling her for awhile…now dealing with post-breakup depression</p>

<p>oh, i wish i had slept more</p>

<p>When I was a high school student, the thing I most regret is that I didn’t go to the church which is next to my school. Now I am a member of Christ. But I still regret that I hadn’t gone to church when I was high school, because Christianity is really a good religion. If I went to the church as early as possible, I might have a happy high school life.</p>

<p>That one party that in a snow-ball effect ended the relationship i had with the guy i’ve been in love with for 2 years… yeah, I’m a cliche xP</p>

<p>otherwise… I don’t have too many regrets. A relationship that I lost myself a little too much in, but I don’t regret that because I at least learned from that. And after this year, there’s really nothing I should regret from school lol</p>

<p>nope, sorry, I confess that I can’t be nice to that girl or stop laughing at her.</p>

<p><<<nope, sorry,=“” i=“” confess=“” that=“” can’t=“” be=“” nice=“” to=“” girl=“” or=“” stop=“” laughing=“” at=“” her.=“”>>></nope,></p>

<p>Well, maybe, this will stem your laughter, I Claudius (oops, I meant Calculus)–that girl has been offered her own reality TV show!! Her five minutes of fame, I guess.</p>

<p>ahh i’ve thought about this a million times. i had no idea what actually counted when i was in high school and for some reason i thought junior year was the most important. i definitely would have gotten better grades and gone out less, but hey everything happens for a reason. i’m sure if i went down that path i wouldn’t have as many social skills as i have now so basically i would be sacrificing something for another thing. i’m happy with the way things turned out so far although Berkeley decisions haven’t come out yet so… we’ll see how i feel then haha.</p>

<p>where to begin</p>

<p>-being a total recluse for 4 years
-including not trying to make friends
-or girlfriends
-not getting laid at prom
-spending close to 2000 hours on world of warcraft
-spending my senior year playing call of duty online
-not doing any sports
-not trying hard on schoolwork and not reaching my potential
-not getting enough sleep and not eating healthier
-sleeping through class, but maybe that is a good thing
-not having enough confidence to do anything about my situation</p>

<p>Not working hard in classes</p>

<p>Lol, all of your answers seem like small problems too me. I majorly effed up my first two years:</p>

<p>-Apathetic view towards everything during my freshman and sophomore years. 2.0 GPA etc.
-Opiate addiction, robbed two years from my life.
-Quitting football when I could have easily got a fullride if I would have stuck with it.
-Giving up on math. Scored a 400 on SAT math and a 610 on Reading Comprehension (LOL)</p>

<p>I could go on. But the whole drug addiction stuff sucked. Took two years away that would have been very nice to have.</p>

<p>Bothebald, give yourself a lot of credit for beating your addiction. That is no small thing.</p>

<p>I regret waiting so long to start my college essays. 14 schools in something like 2 days, so they weren’t good essays. :(</p>

<p>and I regret really only being friends with a few kids, even though my class has only 50 students, because I still feel like there are really awesome people who are graduating with me and I don’t even know them at all. Its sad.</p>

<p>Taking High School Latin in 8th grade, which I got an 89 in, thus making it impossible for me to ever get a 4.0. 3.95 since then and quite unhappy about it.</p>
