Any regrets?

Mr.Nice Guy

Since the year is over now and exams are on the horizion, do you have any regrets about the year that has gone by? I have plenty. Here they are:

- I wish I had made an effort to go to the clubs and societies I joined in Freshers week.

- I wish I had made more of an effort to talk to people in the first few weeks.

- I regret how I handled a situation with a girl that showed interest in me at
the start of the year. Oh how naive I was back then!

- I wish I had left economics earlier than I did.

- I wish I had done all my essays.

- I regret my overall lazy attitude and I wish I had studied more than I did.

- I wish I made at least one of those Boards meet-ups, particularly since I was the one who picked the day for the first one. :rolleyes:

- Lastly, I wish I had studied during the last few weeks. First exam's on Tuesday and I still haven't opened a book.

Anyone got their own regrets?

my regret is not having had the courage/drive to do what i really want with my life

rainbow kirby

- I wish I'd repeated 2nd year, not bothered my ass doing the repeats last summer.
- I wish I'd done even more TKD stuff (ie. both more training and more beerage)
- I wish I could develop study skills at some point.

Sangre

None.

OfflerCrocGod

I wish I could bother my ass to study!

Alana

Well nothing major...just more damage on my liver...

Wish I'd gotten drunk more
Wish I had of punched that Commerce eejit that drenched me at the start of the year instead of screaming at him and belittling his manhood-violence is the key
Wish I'd fallen asleep on campus, and then gone to lectures the next day, before going to the pub and doing it all again....leaving that till next year though.
Wish I'd gone to more lectures drunk
Wish I'd gotten singl earlier in the year
Wish I'd done French
Wish I wasn't doing my exams-eep

DrIndy

None - finished college with a 2nd honours and got a job I wanted straight up.

College was a lot of fun - I partied hard but still got my grades. The party continues!

panda100

i wish that id ran for pres this year-would have been great to see a girl get the position instead of cassanova carroll.+somone who really wants the job to help students not for their own agenda-ah well-would have been a bit embarrassing alright getting all those paper airplanes thrown at you in lectures!

I'm too lazy to type the above out and call them my own regrets so I'll just say; ditto.

Plus:
- I wish I hadn't f**ked up relationships with not one but TWO girls in Arts who I went out with. Especially not to the extent that they hate my guts. Which they do. B0ll0cks :mad:

- I wish I didn't have to rely on HappyCrackHead for 90% of my social life. It's embarassing. Don't get me wrong, it's great that I have someone to rely on, it's just that I wish I could make friends on my own with more ease.

and finally...

- I wish I wasn't a bum.

Exar Khun

I wished I had realised that I needed good grades to do the summer courses in America I want to do next summer.

I feel like the accountant in the Simpsons running around the tax office crying out "does anyone have a calculator"???
Good luck kids...........

No regrets at all - had a great four years here and wouldn't have changed it for the world! I've gotten to know my class really well, been very involved with one of the sports clubs for the past 3 years, and made some wonderful friends. Now its time to move on I won't miss UCD itself, but I know I'll really miss all the people I met here!

Jonny Arson

Ummmmm regrets????

1. That I didn't make enough trips to the bar this year

2. That I didn't go for a good old Stella Artois knacker drinking session during one of my lectures

3. That I joined crap societies who robbed me of precious cash during fresher's week and the fact that they did f**k all during the year (F1 society?... WTF!)

4. That I didn't ram my face down everyones throats during the 1st few weeks

5. That the most boring, unsociable, unfriendly f**kheads infest my course

6. That I'm still single after a year been surrounded by females

7. That I've hardly used my gym membership which I paid 120 yo yo to join

8. That I didn't drink even more beer

9. That I've not jumped in the lake yet

10. That I have done f**k all for my exams

tribulus

My God, I have the exact same problem! My 9 o'clock lectures were maths which meant I pretty much missed half the course.... ah well.

You'll be sorely missed blondie! No-one to form conspiracy theories with about the lecturing staff!

I wish I actually did some work earlier in the year - i really do!

Hanginthere

-I wished that i took a year out as im only 18 now
-I should have gone to at least 1 biophys tutorial
-Probably should have drank less
-Made more effort to know more people at the start of the year as now i know only about 1 person decently well
-Took more chances
-Went in more
-Wast so antisocial

Tribulus, do you know the reason why you didn't go to your 9 o'clock lectures or pay attention during Maths? You forgot to take your vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates and tuna!

C'mon you couldn't attend lectures looking like the Incredible tribulus!



Rrrrrrraaaaaaggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a discount through a club i joined but I still think its a rip off. Apparently the gym in Trinners is cheaper than 120.

Well anyway I'm actually glad I didn't spend too much time in the gym coz I certainly wouldn't have ever wanted to end up like tribulus!!!

Cool :cool: I'll have to find that club.

And tribulus - you will have to teach me the way . All I've managed to do despite 3 gym sessions a week is run faster and further. Even at that I still don't look fit.

Jonny Arson

You will never reach the same hulkness level of tribulus but I'm sure tribulus would advise you to indulge in alot of carbohydrates, vitamins, proteins and of course.... tuna! Also becoming a Science Boy would be very helpful indeed.

I wish i had to ability to study, instead of spending all day doing this: http://kitterkillers.bravehost.com/

I really regret not getting off my ass for the last couple of hours that would have been well spent studying. Instead I've been browsing incredibly useless sites of the internet. Such good use of my time.

Oh I also regret taking books out of the short loan on monday because now I have to drag myself all the way to ucd to bring them back or have to pay the extortionate fee! I didnt even use them either... ugh.
