I didn't know I could bring a calculator and cheat sheet to one of my exams and probably failed because of that. it was my best course until that moment and I put a lot of hard work into it because it was vital. Ya not a big fuck up as far as singular life fuck ups go but the consequences to come may further justify it.


Also, an interesting story that I've been repeating as much as possible. This incident pissed me off so much I cursed god aloud in the street and then immediately this guy points to the sky and has a seizure.
 
Being a dumbass about school in general... I'm regretting it as it's happening but I can't find the willpower to actually do anything about it.
 
I suppose not going to college is probably the biggest mistake, although it may have been just as bad to go without having any direction, and I doubt my circumstances would be any better today if I had.

That WAS my biggest fuck up. Now I'm best in class.
 
I was helping my wife cook dinner one night when she asked for a particular pot. I noticed said pot had liquid in it so I poured it down the sink and handed her the pot. She then looked at me and asked why I poured all of the chicken broth she needed down the drain. I looked at the drain as if I could jump in and recover it all. Dinner just didn't taste the same that night.
 
Not slipping my hand down a female friends top when I was giving her a massage, aged about 14. I kick myself everyday.
 
Fucking over someone who had showed me a near limitless amount of compassion and support during a pretty bad period of my life.

i find the more i try the more a soul crushing screw up like something in the OP shuts me down. why try when something could void it? if you never try at least you get what you deserve. it's comforting

Okay, to be serious, it was probably going to sleep instead of staying up all night to do coursework and having to resit a module for uni. It took time, it cost money and it was moronic.
 
Not going to Digipen. My parents discouraged me by saying "you need a serious career... want to do games? Then be a 'true' engineer and then do what you like".

Should have insisted more. I ended up studying in a top school in my city and then got a job at a big telecom company. Things turned out alright for me, but I always regret not doing more to pursuit my dream...

This, thankfully recovery is possible.

I totally fucked up my first two years at school. Now I've bounced back and I am doing pretty well. But yeah, academic dismissal sucks.
 
Stole my best friend's woman. Didn't really like her, just wanted to see what would happen.

He was a lot like fistfulofmetal, actually. He was OBSESSED with Jewel. His whole room/ceiling was covered in Jewel pics. She was like sacred to him or something and he told me would never ever think of her when rubbing one out.

This
 
- not getting braces when i was younger
- wasting a bunch of my teenage years playing video games instead of being productive/social
- wasting money on various material things that mean nothing to me now

I'd say going to college was a fuckup, but I'm glad I did because it taught me how useless it is and to just do what makes you happy. I honestly believe if you're intelligent and ambitious you'll succeed with or without that piece of paper.

I was pretty indecisive and "safe" when I was growing up, so these days I take a lot of risks and do whatever feels right and I'm much more happy and successful.
 
burning out and ditching business school, 2 and a half years in (exactly halfway through my career) back when I was still young and my parents were supporting me (i.e. I didn't have a full-time job)


it's either that or letting that one girl get away. those flimsy cage doors...


edit: thanks for such a depressing thread topic, OP :lol
 
I accidentally slipped a homeless guy a twenty when I meant to give him a one. They don't even look alike :(
 
Dropping out of Oberlin and enrolling in a state college. It's not that it was a bad experience, but a B.A. in music from Oberlin is solid gold.
 
October of 2007.

I was discussing the markets with my mom and aunt. I told them that they should move their 401k's to money market funds...all of it. The next day, I was one click away from doing it myself with a large sum of money I had invested in mutual funds. This was literally at the peak of the market. I told my wife I was going to do it and my wife wanted me to do it. But I couldn't make the final click.

Then 2008 happend :(
 
I pretty much fucked up ally my grades in my last two school years with playing computer and unnecessary shit..

Ruined all of my plans and made me search for detours I sure don't/didn't want to take in my life. :(

Makes me want to kick myself ever single day for about 3 years, now.
 
recently just ended a relationship(not of my doing) with a girl who was a close friend before we started dating..it was a great relaionship that just didn't work out and now things are wierd and the friendship may be gone...sucks too as I really care for this girl.


Still, not sure it was mistake, I mean I would have regretted not asking her out..
 
I dont regret anything. Odd but true.

This, in more ways than one:

- I didn't take high school seriously at all, which took me out of the running for top-tier colleges.

- I screwed around my freshman year of the college I did get in to. I eventually turned it around and graduated with a respectable 3.2, but a better freshman year could've boosted that much higher.

- I majored in English for reasons that I can't even remember now, despite having an interest and skill in computers and technology. This last one is easily the biggest mistake I have ever made; it has impacted my career choices in a severely negative way, and I'm still too far in debt from school to feel comfortable going back and learning something else.
 
~ Not living alone: Went home => Roommates => Girlfriend then wife then wife with kid. To be honest if I ever got to live alone I'd probably enjoy it too much to give it up

~ Not taking enough Greyhound. I should have just bused myself around this country back when I had more free time

~ Crappy college major / general fucking up in school (like several others)
 
Not using my work experience in Japan properly. Let the time passed by and didn't even renew the visa. D'oh! It was a stupid waste of opportunity.

Not socializing a bit more when I was young. Actually, scratch that. More like not doing anything with my body until now so I'll be more comfortable socially. Now I'm fit and healthy but don't have any social life.
 
Not knowing what to do with my life, which is something I still suffer from to this day. I'm at my third college and have changed my major three times. It has nothing to do with my grades, just pure indecisiveness. Next year I will be entering my 6th year of college with nothing but a huge amount of student loans to show for it.
 
Not getting serious about college. When I was in school, I had a general idea of what I wanted to do, but wasn't serious about it. Looking back, I really should've taken a year or two off from school -- going straight from HS to college was a bad move for someone who hated studying.

I'm 25 now and would like to go back to at least take a couple of classes, but I can't shake the feeling that it's too late for me to really do anything with it. That, plus the fact that I have a full-time job makes going back to school less and less likely. Might look into taking night classes this fall though...

In another dimension, there is another Broken Arrow saying "Went to Digipen. My parents discouraged me but I didn't listen and now I have a useless degree in 'Video Game Developement.' Who needs that?!?!"

Yep. :|

It's all (probably) going to come crashing down soon, save for a miracle. I feel fine now because the other shoe hasn't dropped, but it will soon... I just hope that god has mercy on my soul.
 
Missing the deadline to apply for an almost full ride scholarship even though I had the grades for it. I still went to college but now I have a bunch of loans I have to pay off.
 
Dating someone I work with after say I would never do it again. I guess I am just a glutton for punishment.
