If you could go back in time you would...

Report the bastard who played "chicken" with his big pick-up with monster wheels while my car was sitting STILL at an intersection last night. What's worse, the driver was not some punk teenager, that ass was in his 30's or 40's and his teenage son was sitting in the passenger seat. No wonder why children are so full of sh*t...they learn it from their parents.

-dated AG

-dated VJ

-wasted my final semester in school with someone who didn't deserve the time and effort i put into her....and who wasn't strong enough to let me know how she really felt, but i guess you can call that a learning experience....

-worked harder in school

[juniorgrrl]

• Choose a different law school
• Go to the pref party of the sorority that invited me, maybe then I wouldn't feel like a quitter for not going...
• Not worked so hard in Grammar school, High School, College...I've gotten to a point where I feel like I've failed if I don't pull a 4.0. In the long run, I think it would have been better to be a more mediocre student and not feel this pressure to be perfect
• Decided to commute to school from the beginning of this year and not be spending money on an apt that I can't sublet and a lease I can't break

[MeLikey]

I try not to think about my regrets... I think that "everything happens for a reason", but here's my list--

-- not had a boyfriend for a year and a half during freshman and sophomore year-- I spent way too much time with him and let my grades suffer and I should have made more time for my friends(ironically we broke up 2 days after I joined my sorority, and I'm a much different (better) person now.

-- went to Cancun for spring break sophomore year, again the whole boyfriend thing-- was planning on going, then he didn't want to go so I didn't go-- went to Daytona with him instead.

-- not told a guy I was seeing about a kiss in Acapulco during spring break last year.

-- went through recruitment freshman year.

-- studied a lot more than I have in college.

-- stuck with cheerleading (I think it would have been so much fun to be a cheerleader in college).

-- went to college in California and majored in film studies.

-- saved my money instead of blowing it on clothes.

--should have gotten more involved in campus organizations.

-- started my post-graduation job search much earlier instead of freaking out about it right now.

Although I am struggling with my aforementioned regrets, I am trying to find the good in my decisions since I too have come to believe that things happen for a reason.

[prospectiverushee]

I would have...

taken a year or so off before starting college
majored on Education at La Tech
stayed an extra quarter at Tech and taken those education classes
come out to Tx when I wanted to 1998, instead of listening to my mom and moving back to Louisiana to be with her

[Optimist Prime]

-Cut more classes in highschool.

-Went to that girls house that one day. I know she liked me too.

-sometimes talk more, sometimes talk less

-Read the freaking callboard.

-Stayed at the other bar last night instead of going back to the first on.

I guess it's not a regret. I just wish that I hadn't worried so much or felt so insecure. I feel better now.

I also would have:
gotten my driver's license in HS
told my crushes that I was interested
applied to law school
kept in touch with more people from HS and college
been kinder to my mother
been more aggressive

[lifesaver]

OP got me thinking...

I would have gotten drunk and went to class in HS, at least once, my senior year. It seems everyoen did it once, and I wish I would have, just to say I did it.

I know whats a wierd one...

You can always go to your high school reunion, get trashed, and tell everyone what you really think of them.

[sugar and spice]

Things I wish I'd done:

1) Not wasted so much time with anorexia -- it's not worth it
2) Taken ballet
3) Gotten involved with high school activities (cross-country, theater) earlier
4) Not wasted so much of my time on Brendan
5) Gone through sorority rush last year, at Minnesota
6) Not taken high school so seriously
7) Taken last semester MORE seriously
8) Gotten a job earlier than last summer
9) Put more effort into finding a college

I'm sure I can come up with more . . .
