hey guys. first off, im only young (20) so i wont be able to add to this list. but i was wondering if anyone would like to share any regrets they have had. you know, something that you wish you had done when you were younger, or when you still could. im just going through a big 'wheres my life going' phase, and i wanted to get some ppl input to see if there was basically anything i should consider doing or not doing. but that isnt the point of this thread. this thread is about all you guys.
Hey, maybe you could be the precedent for my life cuz I have no idea whatsoever as to where I will be or what I will be doing in a few years. I honestly have no idea why I'm going to college. I've already decided that college is a pre-emptive regret because I know I will feel that wherever I end up next year will be the wrong choice. I don't exactly know why, but say I end up in a northern climate and one day decide that I should've gone to a place like Miami because of the hot weather and the fact that undergrad school is essentially the same anywhere, that is if I plan on going to a professional or grad school. Yeah, so I guess I'll find out in the fall. Now beside that, I suppose not keeping in touch with people was stupid.
well...there are two kinds of regrets...things you wish you had done and things you wish you hadn't done. i'm only 19...so yeah, same boat as you, pretty young...but for me: wish i had - learned more languages - i've only learned english and spanish (semi-fluent)...i've had the opportunity to learn french as well but didn't care to. wish i hadn't - been so careless. fell asleep at the wheel once and crashed my mom's van at 140 KM/hr...with my brother in the car. we were both alright...but he was knocked uncounscious - which was obviously a huge scare for me...i thought he mighta been dead. so yeah, worst night of my life...i never drive tired anymore. oh yeah...and the $10,000 damage that i had done.
I'm sure I've got other things, but something I do wish is that I'd worked harder in school at an early age. I did fine, but I could've done so much better if I would've actually put some effort into it . . . Oh, I also wish I'd started eating healthier at an earlier age because it's going to be a lot of work getting into shape/losing weight now . . .
Worked a little harder in undergrad. I always went to class and got fairly solid grades but rarely studied. Looking back there was plenty of time to study and still lift 12oz weights whenever i wanted. With a little more work i think i could have gotten very good grades. Granted how i did in undergrad will likely mean nothing in a few years but its a current regret.
Since everything I did in my life led me to where I am now, I regret nothing. (Well there was an incident with 2 XOs in Mardi Gras I shoulda jumped on, but I didnt want to lose my table at PatOs. Kill me.)
I wish I hadn't gotten into drugs. I wish I had listened to my best man when he told me not to marry my first wife. I wish I had tried harder in school.
I should've believed in myself much earlier. I should've danced when asked, regardless of how stupid & uncomfortable I felt. I wish I wouldn't have killed that hobo.
I regret that I unleashed my prodigeous mojo and left behind a trail of lovelorn women that can never again be satisfied.
wish I hadn't gotten so addicted to websites such as these! I wonder how many billions of dollars in productiviy have been lost due to people surfing the web instead of doing things they should be doing
I wish I was a 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 fo Impala.
-Marrying my first wife ( I did it too young and I married the WRONG woman. Don't ever marry your h/s sweetheart!) -not buying shares in one of the cell phone providers when I had the chance. Otherwise, I have no regrets. Life is good.
Not studying enough in College, I am getting decent grades but could be doing so much better....here I am slaking off again right now on this website. Not keeping in touch with old friends. Being a procrastinator. Not becoming fluent in Spanish....
Eh, I have way too many. Most involve not pursuing hot girls who wanted to jump my bones. For all you high school kids, lower your standards a bit when it comes to women. You'll have a lot more fun.
Not going to med school because I was too impatient to wait until I was 30 to make money. The dumbest thing I ever didn't do.
I regret trying to make my father proud of me rather than just following what I wanted to do with my life, especially since, in the end, he was never going to be proud of me no matter what I did. And I also regret not following through when I had Disney calling me every day about a movie idea I had (this was back in 1993).
