Post your small regrets - General

I try not to hold on to regrets as I feel its a negative way to think and if anything they're just lessons you can learn from but Lord do I ever regret buying plants vs zombies game of the year edition while drunk and playing just over 2 hours so I couldn't steam refund it

I had mc donalds twice this week. So much for going on a diet.

i shouldve gone to my graduation in PJ's like i said i would.

I lost a yugioh god card on vacation and didn't notice until I got home that shit was an expensive birthday gift for a 9-10 year old. Also strangely I don't regret failing a grade, I was alone and everything was shit but not self-aware enough to be depressed before, it got much better immediately the year after.

I regret not pulling that kid out of the burning car when an IED exploded near Baghdad. Every time I go home from work and look at my son, I tell myself that I must do the best I can to make sure Mathew grows up to be a good kid, better than me. To make the choices that I should have made.

literally everything that i have ever done

Not hanging out with my friends in high school more

When I was in my first year of college, I shared a locker with a good friend of mine. Friend I don't see anymore today, unfortunatly. Anyway, around that time, I kept losing my binders full of important notes for some reason. Now, I'm a very scatter brained person, but this happened way too often to be entierely my fault (so I thought at least). Because of that, I seriously started to suspect my locker mate to be the one playing that shitty trick on me. One day, when I opened my locker and saw that yet again one of my binder went missing, I didn't take any time to think about where it could have been. Instead, I went into a fit of rage and randomly threw away in a bin one of my friend's important book to sort of get revenge, I dunno. I mentionned to him how I kept losing my shit a few days later and if he knew where it was. He replied : "No, haven't seem 'em, sorry. But I hear you. I recently lost my math book. I swore I had it. It's a shame, because I haven't really got the money to buy another". He never suspected I was the culprit. It's been years since then. I still regret it today.

Not standing up for myself against my parents more

waking up

not dishing out a little more money and going to a college that would have suited me more

Have a laptop without a dedicated GPU.

Spoiling fallout 4 in wayt, idk why I thought that was an okay thing to do

Not carefully observing the change in price of items. I am more careful now but in the past I have wasted money by not being careful about that...

Watching DSP video ironically because he still gets money and is still a huge douche. Just not a big douche as MemeStar.

A little over a decade ago, after my family just moved to a new home, my dad gave me the option to either get satellite TV or get internet. At the time, I spent pretty much every second of spare time watching TV and chose that over internet. It ended up screwing me over because as time went on, I had to keep going to the library to use the internet for school projects and eventually online multiplayer. Also, as time went on I got fed up with commericals, losing signal in bad weather, and having nothing on tv to watch. I didn't get an internet connection until late into my freshman year of high school.

I regret giving up competitive swimming. I had my logical reasons for doing so. It just sucks because it was something I was pretty good at, I believed in myself that I was good at it too and it was incredibly therapeutic, made me feel better no matter what :smile: I'll start it up again soon I reckon.
