If I had known then what I know now...

This is a thread for some of your "regrets."

They can be serious.

They can be silly.



My first one is this~ But it needs some background first. I met my now husband my first day of college. We started dating about a month in. My parents had only seen pictures of him and he has a very unique name and he is very, very dark especially in summer. So, my mother asked if he was from Nigeria. I regret not telling my husband about it immediately because he would have played it up so well. I didn't know that then because we were still learning about each other, but that is right up there with his sense of humor. He wishes now that I had told her that he was from Nigeria to see how long he could keep it up.

I regret buying a cappuccino from Starbucks, but I couldn't help that it was calling my name. Lol.
I'm supposed to be saving my money and my dad gets annoyed if I spend it one something as trivial as a cappuccino.

Monkeygirl, are you a Starbuck's reward member? Sign up and every transaction you get a point. After 12 you get a free drink. They email ways to earn bonus points AND you get a FREE drink of your choice for your birthday. (Your purchase could just be a regular coffee for 2 bucks).

I regret I ate a whole container of fluff ice with red bean and mochi by myself and had a tummy ache all night.I wasn't going home right away and I thought it would melt so I just HAD to eat it.

Naw, it would encourage my spending habits.

I regret........being a spoiled little brat when I was little that I would whine and cry if I didn't get my way in sports so I never played sports after that. I wish I played fairly and stayed in sports.

I wished I hadn't formed a friendship with a certain girl
Yeah I would've been alone for most of school then but knowing what oshe is now, I would've been better off

[Mousy]

oooh friendship regret... those are painful.

I will always regret not having the courage to stand up for myself through High School. I had so many clever and witty comebacks that never left my mouth because I was afraid of hurting other people's feelings even though they were hurting mine already.

Mousy now i regret not faking an odd accent when i came to visit

[Silverfire]

There's a lot of stuff I would do differently.

One of them would be going back and taking college classes that actually appealed to me, rather than trying to follow someone else's dream. I wouldn't be working so hard trying to get started on getting my BA now as well.

I'd also would have stopped trying to be someone that I'm not a longer time ago too.

[Maro]

too many things i would do differently to name them all to be honest...

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I get depressed looking back at what I should have/ could have done differently. Best thing for me is to look at it and try to learn from it and figure out what I can change now. Since I'm the only one I have any inclining of control over then it usually means changing me! Why...!?!! Why is it so hard to change...!?!?! (especially when I know, should know, better)

[MonkeyGirl18]

I wouldn't have gone into Journalism and put more thought into what I would want to major in, knowing how hard it is for me to communicate with other people.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Monkeygirl, was it a last minute choice or did you always, maybe secretly, want to write?

[Mousy]

I wouldn't have babied my kitten so much when she was just a little baby. Now she meows loudly at strange times in the middle of the night until you get up and talk to her. -__-

[Lianna]

Mousy, you're enabling her behavior. Ignore her and she will realize that you're ignoring her, so the reward (you giving her attention) isn't coming, so she will stop

[Mousy]

hello... My name is Mousy and I am a cat enabler.
It's so hard to ignore her little kitty mews.
I WILL BE STRONG TONIGHT. No more 3am love. T_T
