You know, there's a lot of things I regret in my life.
But high school, is where most of my regrets are concentrated at
Freshman year
I regret spending at least 7 hours a day playing Taiwan MapleStory every single day. I play it right after school ends. I play it during weekends. I even ditched a hang out just to play this shit.
What did I get out of playing MapleStory?
Nothing. I just wasted time.
I should've quit
Sophomore year
I regret taking symphonic band for the second year. It's boring as shit, I don't even enjoy it, and I didn't like two of the three teachers. I don't even feel a sense of accomplishment after the performances. It was more like, "okay, fuck, perform perform. done" It's depressing because we spend at least 3-4 months preparing the same shitty music and there's only like 40 people in the audience in the huge ass auditorium. After we were done playing a song, only like 9 people are clapping, 12 people are texting or some shit, and the rest were asleep.
What did I get out of being a percussionist for two years in the symphonic band?
Nothing. I couldn't even count, I learned how to count beats when I was in dance, not band. Weird.
I should've taken dance
Junior year
I regret not taking the opportunity to travel to Manila for dance exchange when I was offered the chance. I was like, "Nah, this is too expensive. This is just for 3 days too!" However, turns out, money isn't really an issue in my family financial background (I didn't know that until this year). Apparently, that 3 days of dance in Manila was, looking at their schedule and workshops, worth spending the money. No other place can gather five different Southeast Asian international schools into one place solely for dance and meeting people.
What did I get out of turning down the offer of going to a dance exchange?
A shitload of schoolwork that turned into optional work for those who went on the exchange. Fuck.
I should've gone
Senior year..
I regret breaking up with my ex-girlfriend
I regret not spending enough time with my dad
I regret not getting my hernia examined earlier
I regret allowing that dickwad add the girl who I was in love with on facebook
I regret making my fever worse by coming to school for dance audition when I already knew that I was 100% going to make it and missing out on this year's dance exchange
I regret typing this blog up so late
I regret taking Mandarin
What do I get from breaking up with my ex, not spending enough time with my dad, not getting my hernia examined earlier, allowing that dickwad add the girl who I was in love with on face book, making my fever worse by coming to school for dance audition when I already knew that I was 100% going to make it and missing out on this year's dance exchange, typing this blog so late, and taking Mandarin?
A shitload of regrets
peace.

Sleep it off. New day tomorrow.
Regret is regret, but don’t ever lose a minute of sleep over the past. Focus on your post-secondary education from here.
You thought these were the best options at the moment.
Experiences are knowledge too.
I think there is a lesson you can take from all this. When you know what you missed out on already, you can start to make improvements for the future.
Look on the other side. DAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNCCCCCEEEEEEEE.
Lesson at hand:
MS = Waste of time
MS = Waste of time
That could be said for all video games.
