Reply #5: Not going off to college straight out of high school... [View All]

[W_HAMILTON]

I'm still in my 20's, but won't finish college till I turn 30.

I see some of the things my other high school classmates have accomplished, and feel like a loser. Everyone had such high hopes for me, and I screwed them up.

I'm trying to "correct" it all by going back to school and really dedicating myself to it, but I can never regain all those years of my life that I feel like I lost. And I'm still struggling with the fact that, even when I do graduate, it will most likely be from a school I'm not really proud of, so that will continue to haunt me later on in my career.

A lot of people like to say they don't regret things because it made them the person they are today, yadda yadda. But I don't believe in that. I'm not too proud to say I regret the choices I made, and I would do anything to go back to high school and do things all over again.
