If I could turn back the hands of time, I would have gotten out of bad relationships when I realized that they were bad, instead of sticking it out and hoping that I was wrong about my intuitions and thinking that everything would get better. Now I know that bad relationships/people do not get better only worse. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif However, I've learned that what doesn't kill you will make you stronger. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

I regret not taking my grades in college as seriously as I should have. My grades were OK, but I know that I could have done 100% better.

Same here! But I plan on taking some courses to get my GPA up before I apply to Grad. school.

I regret being so "cool-headed" when my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years dumped me after he admitted it had been over for him for over 6 months. (Talk about leading me on!) I let that sucker off too easy! Boy, would I have some choice words for him if I had to do it all over again. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

However, my biggest regret is not being in my Dad's room, with my sister, holding his hand when he took his last breath. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

I regret that I am such a reserved person. (No matter what I do, I can't seem to shake this icy veneer. I think that I would have made many more friends by this point if I could.)

I regret getting involved with my friend, because I ruined a great friendship and I knew going in that the relationship wouldn't last.

I regret not knowing my heart in undergrad.

However, these are some things I am happy about:

I am happy that I took a year off before going into graduate school.

I am glad that I do know what's in my heart now.

I am glad that despite being labelled a nerd, I did "buckle-down" in college, it is definitely paying off now.

If I could turn back time, I would realize that if you want to know how a relationship will end, look at the beginning. If you start out in mess, you end in mess!

THOSE D*#M CREDIT CARDS!

THOSE STUDENT LOANS!

LACK OF SERIOUSNESS, MY 1ST TWO YEARS OF SCHOOL!

(IDEAL08), I also wish that I would have saved myself as well.

I regret not listening to one of my mentors when he advised to run for the presidency of the local NSBE chapter. This would have opened up ssssoooo many doors for me career-wise.

I also regret not going straight to grad school. I am now struggling to adjust my full life to begin grad school this fall, 11 years after receiving my BS.

ok, I have some more...

I regret not being able to move out as well.

I regret having to waste thousands of dollars paying down the credit card debt I accquired in college. But thankfully all that is changing this year http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

I also regret allowing a trifelin boyfriend move in with me when i have my apt. in college on the good faith that he'd get a job. I eventually dropped him, but it was a year and a half, some broken dishes & glasses and a few bruises later. Thank God I learned my lesson on that one.

I hope everyone is thanking God for their regrets. Having regrets means, at least to me, that we've grown as individuals and have learned from our mistakes.

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and I noticed this message and I had to post. I regret doing a lot of things in my life but right now, I regret that I talk too much and that I'm always trying to help others out but in the end, I'm hurting myself. I wish I could turn back the hands of time and just keep my mouth closed about alot of things especially any info regarding what I find out from other people. I'm so depressed right now http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

Hello everyone! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif This is my first time posting so please bear with me. I regret several things--not being as focused in my undergraduate studies as I should have been, could have gotten much better grades-- Neither having psychology as a major or even a minor-- Not going straight to graduate school. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

Sorors, Sisterfriends, Sands and Guests:

I try to live life without regrets...

And if I could turn back the hands of time, I would do the same thing all over again...

But that's just me.

Take care, stay blessed and peace.

AKA_Monet: Ditto! I was thinking that when I read this post...if I didn't go through what I have gone through, I wouldn't be who I am today...and I am happy with who I am today...everything I have gone thru has made me stronger!

PrettyPetite

I have to agree w/ AKA_Monet and PrettyPetite on this one. Regrets are burdensome in my opinion, almost like guilt in a way.

I rest in knowing that ALL THINGS work together for the good... so no need to regret anything, because it all ended up working out to be the best for me.

I regret.....

meeting the man of my dreams, him being a decent man and not leavin' his girl for me, me being stubborn and staying in that bad relationship when he finally hollered at me, then being weak and allow him to give me just enough lovin' to know what I was missin', now I'm like a crackhead tryin' to find that same HIGH, having to settle for friendship, knowing that if murder wasn't against God I'd kill his current girlfriend, and lock him up to my headboard because I love him and haven't told him.
Yeah that about sums it up! ;D
