    Well, skipping class with the big kids. Smoking on school property, getting bad with the principal and almost getting sent to a juvenille school. I was pretty bad in school and didn't apply myself....but now I got a good job and certified in medical studies.

    High school--I wish I had been bolder socially.
    College--I wish I hadn't waited to go.

    I hated it and all I wanted to do was get out of there. It wasn't that I was dumb (except in the sewing class), but I didn't fit in socially.

    I regret not taking it seriously. I really was more worried about my social life instead of my academics. I know if I would have stayed in college, I would be in a better position financially than I am now. Not that I'm not grateful for what I have now and not that I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel... I could just be in a better position.

    I can't say i have many regrets. I guess it would be not having enough fun and not doing enough extra study. Honestly, School was great!

    I behaved TOO well in high school. I took all honors and advanced placement classes, I was a straight A student, I always did my homework, I never skipped a class and had perfect attendace all four years, I graduated sixth in my class, I participated in several clubs and was in the marching band all four years, and I never drank or smoked. I was too concerned with grades to have much of a social life. All of my friends from high school were in the marching band and the only parties I ever went to were birthday parties with parental supervision.

    I am currently a college sophomore and I haven't really changed since high school except that I am no longer in marching band and I am not involved in as many clubs as I was in high school.

    That I didn't apply myself better to my studies, and didn't focus on a career. I spent to much time looking for attention as a class-clown, but was also a bit of a loner. I got through H.S. by the skin of my teeth(after an additional semester.) Now I'm 40 and still don't know what I want to be if I grow up.

    Should have tried harder in High School knowing the effects of my scholarship funding for college. Being more outgoing and making more friends to have a more social/eventful high school career.

    Spending the first 3 years worrying about what others thought of me if I done something that was out of the norm. I wish I would have had more confidence to approach or not reject the cute guys. I was always worried about everyone knowing my business so I wouldn't date guys I went to school with. Was always afraid they would tell their buds & smear my name. Kinda wish I would've took the chance now. Passed up some good guys

    High School - Being more sociable outside of school, i always hung with the same group, ppl i love of course, but in a tight all girls school of 500 its important to explore the world outside.. and boys :P
    College - Im in college and last semester it would have been not being more social but im correcting that now =)!

    Not applying myself more. I was a B/C student throughout the 4 years, without ever really studying. If I could go back, I would skip less and go to class more and apply myself to studying a bit more.

    When I was in my second year of college I wanted to study abroad at our school's sister campus in England. But, of course, I wanted to go when my boyfriend at the time was going as well.

    I had my application complete, my essay written; all I had to do was turn it in to see if I would be accepted. Last minute, he decides he wants to go the following year instead, so I didn't bother applying.

    Ended up breaking up with him, transfering to a better college and didn't end up studying abroad. However, I visited my best friend when she was studying abroad in Germany and I got a taste of what I missed out on.

    If I ever go to college again I will study abroad; regardless if I'm even married with kids at that point!
