<p>-being a complete geek for 2 years
-inability to still come out of my shell junior year
-developing a deep sense of romanticism in my last year for a girl who was a midterm grad and who probably did not think of me that way at the same time girls began checking me out
-convincing myself that GPA doesn’t matter as long as I ace all my tests to prove my knowledge
-not getting good relations w/ teachers / counselors for recs (I believe this is the reason I was only SF for national merit, not finalist b/c my counselor thought I was a recluse)
-PLAYING WORLD OF WARCRAFT FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME = BIG NONO, NO MATTER HOW ATHLETIC OR FASHIONABLE OR FUNNY YOU BECOME THIS IS AN INSTANT SOCIAL KILLER
-reading Steppenwolf and finding myself sympathizing and comparing my life to the Nietzschist Steppenwolf, resenting the world but admiring it as something I could never be a part of
-caring more about becoming physically appealing than school (find a balance!)
-never asking girls for more than 2 dates b/c I was fixated on the “one that got away” and thought I was just wasting my time with anyone else</p>
<ul>
<li>devoted too much time to EC’s and not enough to grades</li>
<li>times i dropped the ball with deadlines (school paper, assignments, etc.)</li>
<li>not taking math classes seriously (yeah, i was the kid who constantly went 'so how am i going to use this ?)</li>
<li>overextending myself, stressing about everything, and injuring my relationship with my parents</li>
<li>not speaking up when i saw things i had a serious problem with and then being ****y when things didn’t work out the way i wanted.</li>
</ul>

<p>this post is really depressing. 
at least your thumbs are in shape from all those video games!</p>
<p>not trying hard during my high school career. i never reached my potential. everybody knows and say i’m smart and probably could get into berkeley or ivies if i tried. too bad i’m such a lazy azz.</p>
<p>Not asking her out when we both shared the same feelings.</p>
<p>meh. not much… didn’t do that well as far as grades go but wahddya gonna do ?</p>
<p>Mostly, I regret not getting to know a lot of my peers. In a school with only ~150 students/year, I don’t think I got to know everyone as well as I should have. To be honest, I don’t really have that many regrets since I don’t like to dwell too much on “what could have been.”</p>
<p>I regret having been a loner with few friends. I mean, I have been out with my best friends and stuff, but I could’ve been…wilder.
I have been a geek and just the last year-and-a-half been working out.
I haven’t had any boyfriends…ever.</p>
<p>Am I pathetic? Yes. Am I sorry? Yes
Am I happy? Absolutely. Weird, right?</p>
<p>Biggest regrets? First, I’d have to divide that into “academic/college prep” and “social.” In terms of the former, obviously there’s procrastinating and not working as hard as I should have all the time, which resulted in a less-than-stellar GPA. But my biggest regret would have to be taking AP Chem sophomore year instead of AP US History. I got a 3 on Chem, while I would likely have gotten a 5 on AP US. But I let the DBQ’s scare me off. All well. The academic regrets matter less now since I still managed to get into a good school.</p>
<p>In terms of social regrets, it’s tough. On the one hand, I tried as much as possible to meet girls, which was quite difficult since I was at a single-sex school. I reached out as much as I could, but ultimately could never find a lasting romantic relationship. My only regret was that I may have tried too hard. All well, I figure college social life will be better.</p>
<p>Academically, I have few regrets- I tried my best.</p>
<p>Socially, I’ve got a million:
-I wish I branched out more: tried to meet more people and get out of my comfort zone.
-I wish I showed my true personality in school, and not just out of school… and had more confidence in who I am.
-I wish I didn’t fight so much with my friends- it just was never worth it…
-I wish I tried harder with girls. You miss 100% of the shots you never take. I took zero and I missed every one.
-Lastly, I wish I took risks and was more spontaneous. </p>
<p>No use worrying about the past now, guys. Worry about the future.</p>
<p>Sorry to impose on ur question, but uhm, how do you post a question on here???</p>
<p>^I can’t tell if you are joking. If you are asking how to create a new thread, go to whichever subforum you want to post in (Eg: High School Life). Above the list of posts i a ‘New Thread’ button.</p>
<p>taking ap calculus. I dropped out of it second semester. Eve though it (suprisingly) didn’t affect my college admission, I wish I hadn’t wasted a semester in it.</p>
<p>not applying to princetn esp. after getting into georgetown and getting a likely letter from columbia…i just didnt have the confidence to apply cuz i thought i was wasting my time :/</p>
<p>Not taking AP Chem or AP US. I thought I was going to go to music school until this last summer, so I took music classes instead of AP classes. Now some of my acceptances have been affected by that. As of now I have a 4.15 total gpa; so, if I’d taken those extra AP classes it would be at least 4.2-4.3. Then, I would be more competitive for the schools I’m applying to.</p>
<p>Also, I wish I had been more social. It’s only been within the past year that I’ve actually had some fun. I can never get those other 3 years back. At least I have college to look forward to!</p>
<p>been more social fo sho. :)</p>
<p>I wish I had gotten more involved in ECs beginning freshman year, and I should have studied harder to the ACT and SAT, but it’s all good. I got into the honors program at my top school. We’re almost done, no use looking back on what we’ve done and feeling sorry about it. We’re about to start a whole new chapter of our lives. I’m so much more excited than regretful.</p>
<p>I wish I would have applied to more match-type schools instead of just a ton of reaches.</p>
<p>I wish I had
-More extracurriculars/leadership in those. Though I have good leadership in some, I guess it wasn’t enough.
-Some more AP classes (Even though I am rank 10 in my class, and got 4.63 GPA, I still don’t think it’s enough.)
-Tried harder on the essays!</p>
<p>Although, I’m mostly pretty satisfied with what I’ve done.</p>
