Aw come on, just a minor one? It's good to get this stuff out sometimes.
---

My biggest? Honestly, I don't know. I have a lot of little ones.

Maybe that I just generally didn't put myself out there when I was younger. Now I have no real friends and zero romantic experience.
---

Not much, really. I've had a pretty good life.

I guess one regret I have is not investing earlier.
---

I probably should have some but don't. My friends left the area looking for work and I lost touch, so maybe that? Regret means things I wish were different and although I wonder what else may have been, it's not like I'm disappointed with the way things are now.
---

It's okay to not have any, that's actually a good thing. It means you do most things with purpose.
---

Biggest? Im not sure...but I kind of regret for not going into mathematics sooner than, well, now. I also regret for not taking more risk and bursting from my bubble, but oh well...time to move on...

Edit: I dont regret the people and experiences Ive had on this route, though.
---

Not realizing sooner that running a business is not for me. At least I never got close to actually taking over, or Id be fucked.
---

I guess I could have studied computer science earlier instead of getting a film degree. I did like doing my film degree though, some good experiences.

Probably eating microwaved popcorn

Damn no kidding, that's one of those stuck for life type of deals.

Oh yeah, its the family business too. My brother never wanted it so I felt obligated to take over, but I never really thought about what it would entail until last year when I got stuck working 6 day weeks for 4 months straight. And it doesnt help that my old man does shit ass backwards, like not grooming me for it and basically putting it completely on me while having me be a regular worker for over 15 years.

My family owns an HVAC company and ever since I was a kid they were always pushing me to it as a career path, eventually when I was a teenager I had to be aggressive in my 'I'm not doing that' and they finally let off but they stayed bitter at me for awhile over it. I knew I wouldn't have been happy doing it.

Not having the balls to ask a girl out back in school probably as although there is a good chance I'd have been rejected I'd at least have known rather than now be wondering "what if?". Other than that though I have very little regrets as all regrets do is bog you down and what for? You can't change the past so.

Ever having a drink.
---

Probably not asking more girls out, but I have zero sex appeal so I would just be shooting myself in the foot if I did
---

Not telling the people close to you that you love them. Sooner or later, they won't be around and they'll never really know. I tell my friends all the time that I love them, they try to laugh it off or call it gay, but they appreciate it. Seriously, start telling the people close to you that you love them.

@AnnoyedCops

Were you or are you in the industry?

I made some of my own videos and was an assistant once on a video shoot, but after graduating just tried to get office/clerical jobs. Now I'm a software developer. But ideally I'd really like to do something artistic. I've been working a little tiny bit on a game as the artist outside of work but I'm too lazy to do anything after work most of the time.

Taking things too seriously.
---

Guilty of that myself sometimes.
---

I drowned myself in schoolwork, neglecting my friends, family, and faith. It took a huge mental toll on me by the time I graduated from college. I'm still recovering. I needed more balance.
---

My biggest regret was making a very rash decision of dropping a class, then re-adding it, costing me a total of twenty-five hundred and eighty American dollars.
---

College.

Got lots of debt and no degree to show for it beyond the associates degree I got to transfer into a university.

Pretty much this. It took me until a couple of years ago to realise that young women who are interested will still very rarely approach or make any moves.
---

Not murdering my exstepfather while I was still a minor and could have gotten away with it. Now it's too late. Major regret.
---

Hands down, taking the job I took out of college. I pressured myself too much and took the first offer that came my way, and I didn't really know how to evaluate companies. I convinced myself "just get some experience and you'll be good."

It's all been downhill from there, and six and a half years later I feel like I have no hope of a decent career.

Not taking education seriously and not getting into my profession like 8 years earlier
---

Deciding to go further away for college when several closer universities were offering me full paid scholarships. The school I choose only offered me a scholarship that would cover half.
