I regret not being more active in clubs at school or immersing myself in extra-curricular activities.

Not learning earlier about credit/credit scores/money management. I'm recovered mostly at this point, but wish I'd had those skills when I started out!

Not going to class! >_>

...not hanging out with more people my age.

I hung out with the "Mommies" and now they are busy with their families and new teaching jobs. No time to spend with old friends.

I regret taking Russian. It is a very hard language and at that age I just didn't have the discipline necessary to learn it. In the end, it just brought down my grade point average. I wish I'd taken Spanish instead. It would have been an easy A and would have at least been useful.

I regret having to work so much that I missed out on some of the "normal" activities. I also regret not taking advantage of the interviews and the prospective employers that came into campus.

I regret not finishing my degree

Being too intimidated to talk to my professors out of class

I'm still in college. I really, really want that whole "dorm" experience and to go to a close college. The one I'm at right now isn't like that at all. So, I'm transferring to Sweet Brier! Yay!

I'm with faerie. I wish I would have went to more of my classes.

Not following my heart and trying too hard to live up to certain expectations. Trying to please family and everyone BUT myself.

I don't regret it per say because I'm a stronger person today from it and I ultimately got where I've always wanted to be in life, even if it caused me a lot of depression. In the end, it was worth it though. I'm going back in September to FINALLY chase after *MY* dream, not what my family wanted.

I was so afraid people would look down on me for my career (since I was studying Veterinary medicine and I am now a Makeup Artist, and soon to be Hairstylist). I still get the "ohhhhhhh..you studied THAT" response, but I've learned to accept it because I'm living out a dream I always put on the back burner and finally making it happen.

Ha I love this thread - I teach college biology, all those slackers that skip classes shesh! I kid of course, I missed so many classes during my undergraduate studies to the point where during my masters degree I met a lecturer I had never seen before yet I had taken one of the courses she taught in, I had just managed to skip everyone of her classes

I think my biggest regret about college is not understanding that degree structure better and what courses I could take, what courses I should have taken. I also wish I had realised sooner that my teachers were human and approachable!

My biggest regret is that I wish I had made more friends in college. Although even if I could do it over again, I don't know that I would have been any more successful at making friends. I did extra-curricular activities and things, but my college was so antisocial. Everyone went home on the weekends... it was weird.

My second biggest regret is that I allowed myself to get to my all time highest weight ever in college.

Not going right after high school. Well, I did go - I guess I should say not FINISHING right after high school. I did eventually finish - a spouse and four kids later.

That was just stupid.
