Oh, God where to begin?
Not making Eagle Scout
Not trying harder at school
Not going to college

Trust me, I know how it sounds and if other people do it I roll my eyes but... I don't really have any regrets. Whenever I start thinking too much about things that have happened and can't be changed, I remember the fact that in around 5 billion years time the Sun is going to expand and utterly destroy the Earth. Everything on this planet, and the planet itself, is going to be blasted into deep space as radioactive dust. It'll be like God himself swatting a fly. Hard to regret things when you know that no matter what mistakes you make, they won't be remembered and even if, by some twisted miracle, one of your mistakes is still remembered 5 billion years from now, everyone's going to be a bit too busy to think about it.

I'm blessed to be mainly in Kick's camp. Even choices that didn't turn out as well as I'd like were fair choices at the time. Who I was then made a fair decision. I can't go back and judge myself when I made the best decision I could.

I do have a couple regrets though.

I wish I had learned discipline in highschool. I wish that I had put in the hours and work instead of just putting in what I had to.

I wish I had learned that you have to budget down time and recreation time. 1 hour of fun and 2 hours work is better than 3 hours of "work" that's halfheartedly done. I wasted so many hours doing things I didn't even enjoy instead of obeying the old "work while you work, play while you play"

But then that's just the old "Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test and then the lesson"

I agree with "kick".My existence does not change the rising of the sun.One day I will die .When/ I don't know  I can't change it so why worry about it . I do believe in a Universal force but don't know what it is  nor do i really care
death is for all. And then begins the real Journey .

I regret killing animals back in the day that I didnt eat or had no real need to kill. At the time I was young and dumb and thought hunting was "cool". Which it is, when done with respect for the animal. I didn't kill many before I learned that lesson but I still regret it till this day.

Woah, regrets. I got a lot. Here's one for now:
I regret not listening to my wife when she told me that I should stop spitting (pulicly, that is). Sometime after she told me to stop spitting, I got a little chest cold and had to pick up my sons from school. On my way to pick up the boys, I rolled down the window of the car and spit a really quick one out the window that no one but me could possibly see. When I got to the school gym to wait for the boys to get out of school one of the other parents looked at my chin with a little wrinkle in his brow and kindly said, "Hey, what's that in your beard?" I put my hand up to my chin only to discover to my complete horror that I hadn't launched my earlier loogey all the way out of the window... and apparently not even completely beyond the end of my own face  Moral of the story? When the Hunny gives good advice, I should listen up so that I don't get in a pickle that not even a sling can launch me out of.

For me high school was a total waste of time.  My school system was very poorly run and really nothing more than a baby sitting service.  From ninth grade on we did nothing but busy work, repeating the same inane garbage over and over.  I stopped going my senior year.  College was another matter entirely.  Once there, after the army, I was finally enlightened and educated.  I liked college a lot, though it was very tough..
