i don't regret a lot of things, but....

i most definitely regret wasting my time with a woman who wasn't deserving of the time and effort i put into her and who wasn't strong enough to let me know who she felt. but i guess you can call that shit a learning experience.

Learning Experiences...
 

I don't have regrets, I have learning experiences because everything I have been through has been to TEACH me something and to prepare me for what my FUTURE is to become.

1. I learned to appreciate the business that I have because not everyone is lucky enough to start one.

2. I learned to take my talent (writing) seriously and to use my major (Business) to enhance it.

3. I cut up one of my credit cards and I will be working the rest of this year to pay off the debt on my cards (about $3000) so they don't sky rocket.

4. I learned that ABC can wait until I am ready for it and it is ready for me (has to be a mutual feeling).

And finally, I have set the following goals for my to do list to go along with my learning experiences...

1. To keep my business alive through other means... even if that just means paying the $300 to keep up the paper work every year.

2. Write for as many sites (including this one) as I can so I can get better every day because besides teaching, this is what I was meant to do.

3. To be debt free by the end of 2003 (I called it so it should be mine right?)

4. To build on the friendships that I have with the one or two members of ABC that I am cool with on campus and to support ALL OF THE GREEKS on my yard at their events because they have definitely shown alot of love and respect for me... even if they do know my business :o

I would have tried something, failed miserably @ it, and learned from that experience. That way, I would not be so afraid of failure now, that I don't try anything.

I would have realized that Stoicism is not necessarily a virtue.

I would have been a pimp.

I regret not attending a co-ed high school. (I attended an excellent college-prep program at an all-girl high school, despite my aunt's insistence that I "needed the exposure.") At the time, my mother and I could only see the partial scholarship I received. Of course, Auntie was right. While I was academically ready when I got to college, I was definitely not ready for the menfolk, and out of innocence (or ignorance) I made a series of little mistakes that culminated in one huge mistake in my junior year.

For me...
 

I've always said I would never regret anything...but changing some things oh I know some things that I would change-but I would repeat again just because they've mad me who I am...

1. Believing one person alone can hold a relationship together
2. Man school is kicking my butt-I regret not being serious in the first place
3. Not choosing a better school when I first went to my undergrad.
4. Been there to tell my grandfather's wife I loved her before she died
5. Cutting my hair (I miss you my beautiful tresses)

If I could go back I would change a couple of things, I would:

1) take my UG studies more seriously by realizing my true potential

2) have ignored the advice of people and had a double-major

3) built a stronger relationship with my family

4) have waited for my boyfriend to drop his baggage before starting a relationship with him

5) never have let my best friend walk out of my life

6) spend more time caring for and pampering myself

I regret:

1.Choosing a school hated...to please my dad.
2.Choosing a major I hated...to please my dad.
3.Avoid seeing certain guys...to please my dad.
4.Seeing a few guys I disliked...to please my dad.
5.Walking away from greek life...to please my dad.
6.Denying many other wants and needs...to please my dad.
7.Not realizing earlier that it is almost impossible to please him.
8.Letting my maternal grandmother put serious guilt trips on me, because I wanted to seek some independence from her. And believing that my world will fall apart, without her help and CONTROL.
