Mine is -

That I didn't travel more when I was younger. I am 28 right now, and want to do a real backpacking trip across a continent before I get old.

I get the feeling a good number of the responses will be about a woman, if I recall the last thread well.

It is gaf after all...

I think I'l join you pel1300 in saying that I would like to travel more...
 
Wasn't there a thread exactly like this last night??

Anyway, mine would be not dorming for college. Technically I still can but... nah. I'd feel too old.
 
Quitting school. Oh well, got my GED.

Not being on the internet a long time ago...I missed out on so many games because I didn't know they existed.
 
Wow, lots of depressed people in here.

As for me, probably that I was born into an existence in which it is possible that life in finite. Sucks.

Or, clicking on threads like these, along with "OMG, everyone look at me my puppy died in a tragic accident. Thousands of strangers, feel the pain of my lost puppy :( :( :(."
 
Not staying in shape and having better eating and workout habits. Yes, it's something I can change now, but it's a tough climb out of the hole I created for myself.

edit: Oh, and not going to grad school.

Go to the weight loss thread, we can help you out. Most people that are obese simply have a damaged hunger feedback system due to environmental and dietary habits in the last 30 years. You shouldn't have to consciously balance some energy equation. Your brain should be doing that for you, and with respect to the body fat you already have. If you cut out sugar, replace some omega 6 fats with omega 3, and use antibiotics sparingly and eat fermented foods, you'll probably coast effortlessly to a good body fat %.
 
Not playing/practicing for baseball when I was younger. I wanted to at least play in high school to see if I had a chance.
 
Not doing well in high school. I was a 15 year old dumb ass what did they expect. I fucked around and got a shit GPA and then my senior year realized how important a good GPA and got on the honor roll for the last semesters. Didn't matter. GPA is still shit and I look like a retard. No scholarships and no chance of going to a good college/uni (unless I am mistaken with the minimum GPA rules). Happened forever ago, but I am still pissed.
 
Going to college right out of high school and doing terribly bad and NOT caring! god i was so f'n clueless when i was 18-21........

now im about a year out from graduating and i have my horrible pass plaguing me =(

not working out during high school...

now i feel like i'm fucked and i can't get motivated and i'm all doughy :(

The fallacy is the perception that weight loss is a conscious battle of will to control calories.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamus

The above controls both appetite and how many calories your body burns. When leptin does not reach the hypothalamus, your body defaults to excessive hunger and a reduced metabolism. Instead of scolding yourself, you should figure out why this system isn't working. I'm betting it's because you consume far too much sugar...which really isn't your fault, it's in everything today that's in a package.
 
I have some:
- Pursuing a career in film
- Spending my money on shit mostly
- Not realizing what big chances I had (job-wise, mostly)
 
Having Boneitis.

But seriously, a bunch of stupid shit I did as a kid I won't go into details about.

Also, I'm 21 and never had a girl. Obviously I was doing something wrong in high school.
 
Not having sex with a girl who obviously wanted it on my study abroad trip two years ago.

We were in London together for the summer. We went on walks around the city, and through Highgate and Hampstead. Many days of us just walking around together, alone, in the most amazing city in the world, and I never even kissed her.

As time goes by, I've let go of my most of my regrets but for some reason this one only seems to get worse.
 
not applying myself in HS is the biggest one. I would go and get 99th percentile on the psat and shit, letters from harvard and mit based on my test scores but my gpa was so awful my mom would actually laugh at each one. i did too, but i realize that if i had applied myself even a little I'd be at a top tier ivy easily. I'm at a good, even great school now, but I couldve applied myself more...
