I’d say “I love you” to my dad before he died.

Same for me.

almost killing myself.

never finding the courage to commit with people i love.

I have no regrets. Not because I haven’t made mistakes (I’ve made many)
I’ve just learned from them.

I predict one mistake… If I don’t end up with him, at least for awhile- That will be my regret.

Dating my first boyfriend

I regret screwing up my sophomore year of high school, and having to repay by taking 8 classes my senior year and not having the opportunity to go to a university.
It wasn’t worth it. And I wish I could be going to a better college.
So yeah.

Why don’t you take summer courses?

I’ve already graduated from high school, and I’m about to be in my 2nd year of community college. I know that I can transfer.. but even so, it would have been nice to skip the wait and go to a good school sooner. :/
Plus I won’t be able to transfer for awhile.

I’ve got to tell you, school isn’t everything. You can be just as successful, even more so, as someone in a “great college.” In the end it’s about what you accomplish in life - letters on a report card or numbers next to GPA aren’t an accomplishment of nearly anything, just stagnation.

Totally agree!

I regret (just a little bit) not making full use of my good looks when I was younger. I knew the girls wanted me, but I was just way too shy. Now I’m in a committed relationship with the girl I had a crush on since I was 14. But we started only when we were 21. So that’s 7 years I wish I had spent with other girls instead of just dreaming of one. Now, I’m a good looking guy who has only ever kissed and slept with one girl. I wish I had the courage to go out with more girls before this relationship started. But I don’t regret the fact that I’m now with the girl of my dreams. So I’m happy. :)

I don’t know if I entirely agree with you, but I do think it’s stupid that people judge others accomplishments based on their education.

Be glad you waited for that special one. Sleeping around certainly has its drawbacks!

How could it have drawbacks when compared to being single through your teenage years and missing out on all those experiences and knowing what’s it’s like to be with another woman??!

AIDS, unwanted pregnancy, having a kid out there in the world somewhere, knowing she had an abortion and killed your kid, heart break, emotional baggage the list just goes on and on.
