This. I totally regret not doing better in school. I learned a lot, but didn't retain it because I never did homework or assignments.
What did I do instead? NOTHING. I sat around at home, and watched endless hours of Simpsons, and sat at my PC and watched people talk on IRC, sometimes interjecting my own comments. Thats like, it.
The only course I ever did good in was my programming course, which I thought was all I would ever need. I'm a Turf Management Specialist/Lawn Pest Exterminator now. Yeah, sure. I love the outdoors and the work; but had I decided that was what I wanted to do, I would have taken Biology and Ecology, instead of spending my time on Math and Programming. OH WELLS.
- i wish i hadn't almost entirely stopped going to school for my junior & senior years, and I wish I'd taken up that offer to UCSB or tried to apply to Stanford like i'd always wanted to
- i wish i hadn't married so early/lovelessly, just to end it right after the annulment period
- i wish i had paid more attention to the money my ex spent so i wouldn't be in all this debt
- i wish i had joined that art contest in high school for real instead of just loaning my "friend" a painting of mine so she could impress that art dealer who bought it for $600 and then gave her the money and refused to give me any or admit that i did it >:/ (bitch)
- i wish i had gone to a -real- school to pursue biology instead of an art school to pursue silly things
- i wish i hadn't written a bunch of my personal feelings about a boy down on a note that my "friends" found in my binder and then gave directly to him [in middle school]
(he didn't just rebuff me publicly, but shared it with the basketball team who continued to fuck w/ me about it for years)
- i wish i hadnt wasted my money on such an expensive car after that accident
- i wish i hadn't have gotten my hopes up about my 13th b-day party when every single one of my "friends" stood me up and instead went out without me and told me the next day
(i hung out with some shit ass people as a kid)
- i wish i'd socked that kid that made fun of me at that school dance in middle school instead of just getting pissy & storming out
- i wish i hadn't put all of my certificates & trophies & everything I ever had at 16 into storage (they were all lost when my parents failed to pay for it and lied about using my money i gave to them to pay for it for other things)
- I wish I was little bit taller
- I wish I was a baller
- I wish I had a girl who looked good; I would call her
- I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a six four Impala
- i wish i hadn't married so early/lovelessly, just to end it right after the annulment period

Since we're now wishing for things that never happened (Venetia), I wish my date hadn't stood me up to go exercising (this is not a joke), and instead I had to go on a date with my best friend. Even better, I wish I hadn't told so many people in school I was going on a date because, to be honest, Medicine school is just like high school, but worse. There're going to be a lot of questions tomorrow from guys and a lot of "I pity you" looks from girls.
EDIT: Also, I wish my dad had never gone into politics.

Should've waited until 23... worked out for me so far.Venetia":3ec9d3us said:
Other than that, I think I was equally questioning the word 'regret' as Brew did... with other thoughts in mind though. Basically, I'm just living my life, having fun, doing some work every here and there, and see where it takes me. Make decisions and don't look back. Maybe I can say that because everything's worked out alright so far... or maybe everything's worked out alright so far because I look at it that way.
I sort of wish I did a little better in college so I could've got into University, I mean, I could've, I had enough UCAS points to get into a few courses in Uni, but nothing I REALLY wanted to do, if I put a little more effort in I could've got better grades and walked into some pretty great Uni's, my tutors kept telling me I had potential but I was wasting it, which I was because I couldn't be bothered, and now I'm doing pretty much nothing, working 16 hours a week and getting paid nearly fuck all (Just over minimum wage), god I wish I did something better!
