Regrets? Do You? Should You?

1/6/2018

As you grow into who you will become, sometimes it is wise to look back on your life and reflect on things you've done, things you want to do, and things you'd change or keep the same.

While you're still young, now is the opportune time to make mistakes because at this stage in your life, most of them can be corrected. Whether it's in your personal life, school life, work life or relationships with people, you want to always strive to do your best and not blatantly be a sore.

You are in the exact place in your life where you want to pause, look at how your life is going and make plans on how to proceed. This is also the time to assess what kind of person you are. Do you give up easily? Do you look at mistakes as just that, then move forward as you correct them? Or, are you the kind of person who blames everyone and life for all the things that have gone wrong in your life?

Now is the time to look at the person in the mirror, and while you're young, reflect and decide how you will adjust moving forward. Your adjustments may be to stay the same, continue to improve, or make a total makeover of your actions and life as it is so far. Either way, it's not too late until you wake up one morning and know that some mistakes you've made have completely changed your life in such a way that it's too late to change.

Comment on the following prompt: Discuss any regrets that you might have about this school semester and also what you will do to adjust moving forward.

INCLUDE: First initial AND last name AND class period.

You MUST respond to at least TWO other posts from any student. Your replies cannot be identical comments on different posts and posting shallow comments such as "I agree" or "I disagree" will earn you a zero. Make sure your reply addresses the comment that you are responding to.

Be sure to--

Be clear about your position
Provide specific support for your argument
Use rhetorical devices and other grammar elements
Write EPIC Content-Engaging, Powerful, Informative, Creative

CAUTION!! Do NOT embarrass me, yourself, your class, the English department, the school or your parents with tasteless, meaningless comments. This is for a grade.

By the end of this year, I would be on my way to being a senior. I have been reviewing my time in LHS and the impact I have done. I cant find any memorable moments while this school, I haven't made any friends, and I academically struggled my first two years. So you can say that I have a great amount of regrets. Undoubtedly, I have learned from them, but I every now and then they cross my mind telling me how I am such a failure.

This is my first year in high school,and here are my regrets.Since I passed all of my classes in middle school and always played in class they just passed me there.But here in high school I have not adapted to high school yet.I have played around in high school,the same as middle school,but the difference is that I am not getting passed here.So,I have struggled in grades so far.Going forward,i have realized that i can't play here and pass,so i will do my work first,then play after.

I had the same situation. I really just did enough work to just get a passing grade. I really never tried enough to get what I should be getting, being a honor student and being above average

I definitely see where you're coming from. My freshman year all I wanted to do was relax. I use to always think "I have three years left, so who cares?" But time passes by really fast.

Just like you, my regrets often and sporadically pop up in mind and I fill up with the feeling of failure. When this occurs I often feel sorry for myself, then I always realize feeling sorry for myself is not going to change the actions I made in the past and it is not going to get me far in life. Ultimately, leaving me with no choice to to move on and do better.

Holding on to regrets keeps you in the past. In order to live life to the fullest, you have to let go of regrets.

I feel sorry for myself also sometimes , but then I realize I shouldn't feel sorry for myself I just need to correct my mistake and move on.

i have also made mistakes in the past semester and really thought how I could better myself in class and not fall behind but you have to fail to succeed and I agree with you to move on and do better

T.Dawson 4th

Whenever I think of regret, I think of failure. As an individual,you failed yourself. You didn't know how to chose the right thing for yourself. Yet, I have to agree with you. The regrets I have bring feelings of failure in some way.

F. Aleman 2st

Many people knows how it feels like to fail at something a wish they could take it back. No it doesn't make anyone a failure but people tend to have negative thoughts. Life keeps going. So why stay stuck on one mistake?

T.Tate1st

1/11/2018 12:30:22 pm

If you learned from your mistakes I don't think you should feel like a failure when it cross your mind again because you already corrected and learned from your mistakes .

I have a similar regret though it was because I lost friends that I know meant well for me because I didn't reach back out to them. I was so afraid that I bothered them because they were 'better' people that I decided to ignore them and stay away. In the end I ended up hurting them and making them feel as if they did something wrong. It was selfish thoughts that left myself and others feeling guilty.

My regrets from the past semester is that I have struggled academecly.The reason for that is I have not been focused enough on my school work is because I was playing and not even paying attention on my work enough.Going forward,I will do all of my work first and play afterwards.

A. Chicas 7th

1/12/2018 05:07:18 pm

I had the same situation . I really didn't care about school work. I just ignored my work and did what I wanted to do all the time. That's why I barely passed any of my classes

I. Florence 1st

1/10/2018 06:19:23 pm

Regrets I know I will have this semester is procrastinating and idealism, because I have always struggled with these two self-made obstacles as a student. My procrastination arises when I am not motivated to do my work, which ultimately results in me having to stay up later and creating mediocre work. Occasionally I disfavor making mistakes, I want my work to be perfect or as near perfect the first time, this is idealism. When my mistakes are brought to my attention, I often become discouraged because I feel I shouldn't have made a mistake in the first place. To adjust moving forward from my regrets, I will try to find motivation, learn from my mistakes and try to become okay with failure because you have to fail in order to succeed.

Z. James 1st

1/11/2018 11:30:49 pm

One of my current regrets is procrastinating on things I could have finished earlier. I just think that I have all the time in the world to do work,so I just put it off. Then, when I find out that my time is limited that's when I start doing my work. I am starting to work on it, however I normally do my Mixed Ink on Mondays and today is Thursday so I don't think I'm making any progress. Eventually, I will stop putting things off for my laziness.

N.Brown 1st

same my procrastinastion is a shame and i really shouldn't be doing it but i totally agree with you

Keishala Brown

1/12/2018 03:17:43 pm

I also procrastinated too much, and in the end I may have gotten the work done but it looked bad. It started to give teachers the impression that I didn't care. I created things that normally would have been awesome and amazing. Though through my laziness ended up being pathetic and simple. Or even just plain trash.

E. Hernandez 6th

1/12/2018 01:01:34 am

I also procrastinate a lot. I stay up late at night doing it because I didnt do it earlier. Then I end up regretting it, but I still procrastinate after.

J. Maple 1st

1/12/2018 06:53:08 pm

I completely relate. Finding motivation is so hard for me. I just want to sit in bed and stare and think about everything I’m supposed to be doing instead of actually doing it. I want to try to find the motivation and drive that I used to have.

J. Jackson 7th

1/10/2018 09:18:17 pm

My regrets from the previous semester are that I would procrastinate, not turn in assignments on time, and not turn them in at all. Although i understood the work i would just be lazy and postpone doing an assignment knowing that it will affect my grade.

I.Johnson

1/11/2018 02:13:43 pm

I agree because i did the same thing

E. Hernandez 6th

1/12/2018 01:02:54 am

I also have the same problem. I procrastinate and get lazy even though I know it'll mess my grade up.

B. Haynes 1st

1/12/2018 12:51:58 pm

Although I did procrastinate, my issue wasn't turning in work, but doing it last minute and not doing the best that I could. I used to always say that I do my best work under pressure, but this is a mentality that will not benefit me as a student. I have to learn to drop this mentality to become a more productive student.

D. Hearne

1/12/2018 05:23:58 pm

Procrastination is something everyone struggles or had struggled with. We keep telling ourselves that we'll get to these things and we never do. Then it all catches up to us.

Regrets are something no person should have. If any, an individual should learn how to grow from these so called regrets. Personally, I have very few regrets in life because at some point I wanted what I chose. I might have not chosen the right option, but I learn from my mistakes.

N.Brown 1st

1/12/2018 01:24:12 am

i totally agree with you like every regret has a lesson to it so at the end of the day i will still learn from it

S.moncivais 4th

1/12/2018 09:45:15 pm

I have to agree with you because it's true every mistake make you a person, but also if we can make everything easier and know that this will come a regret we can change it right after.

I. Chancellor 1st period

1/12/2018 11:45:56 pm

Now that I look at it, a person really should not have regrets. With all honesty, a person should grow from their mistakes, instead of being the same or being worse. As a matter of fact, looking through your lens, we say that regrets were decisions that we felt were right, at the time. In like manner, if I make mistakes, I do learn from them, but sometimes it takes time for me to completely learn from the mistake. Lastly, we should not think about regrets too much, because it can take away from the present life, that we have.

T.Tate1st

I regret procrastinating last semester , because I waited until the last minute to do all my work and everything piled up and was do the next day .So I start stressing and get all upset because of how much work I had to do .I Couldn't blame nobody but myself because it was my fault I waited last minute to do everything so I had take that punishment and do all that work . Also by me procrastinating all the time it made me lazy and my grades started dropping . So this Semester I know not to procrastinate and not have that lazy mentality anymore .

like ive sayed before if i turned in my home work i would have passed so really my non commitment is my worse regret

J.Bonilla- 4th Pd

1/12/2018 11:03:57 pm

I relate to this, I was very lazy or procrastinated many times. I did not turn easy assignments, therefore my grade were not where I wanted them to be. But hey people learn and try to do their best.

Keishala Brown 1st period

1/11/2018 03:48:17 pm

My biggest regret was time management, I was centering my attention too much on one thing at a time instead of spreading my time evenly among the things I had to complete. I messed up on staying on top of simple things and in the end they messed me up. Honestly I have felt like a bit of a disappointment to myself, my parents, my family name, and my passions. I hadn't pushed myself hard enough and I slipped, so much that even my mental state wavered. The adjustments I plan to make are improving my schedule so that I stop lacking. I also plan on pushing myself more on my passions, I had stopped writing, animating and drawing as much as I used to and slowly started feeling useless. I will push myself back into the swing of things as well as picking up on more on my academics as well as passions.

I. Florence 1st

1/11/2018 09:30:41 pm

Although it is not a regret of mine,I did not pay attention to time management at all, ultimately, resulting in me spending unnecessary time on assignments. For me, I like to focus on one thing at time until it is done and then I go on to the next assignment. Which was a bad idea, because I would sometimes forget about other assignments.Time management will definitely save me time and stress in the long run which is why I resonant with you. Now thinking about it, time management did not even cross my mind the whole semester.

Z. James 1st

1/11/2018 11:23:18 pm

Time management was one my biggest regrets my sophomore year. I occupy myself so much that I would stress myself out. I would forget to tell my parents where I was and they would forget to pick me up. I would stay up late at night to finish my school work. I was very stressed out, however this year I learned to just set reminders in my phone and to remember dates and times. Now I'm less stressed out and I get all my work done effectively.

B. Haynes 1st

1/12/2018 12:42:01 pm

Time management was also one of my biggest setbacks as a student. I feel like if I were able to find time to focus more on my schoolwork, my work would have been done better. The grades that I received made me disappointed, but I knew that end of the day it was my fault for not paying enough attention to my studies. I've learned to use my planner more often, which I know will benefit me in the long run.

J.Carire

1/12/2018 08:37:21 pm

I agree with you B.Haynes.I spend my time doing things that aren't my homework.I play videogames and sleep instead of doing my work.I need to change that.

Hope aleman 1st

1/12/2018 05:36:27 pm

I understand why you'd feel like a disappointment, because my regrets made me feel the exact same way.

S.Moncivais 4th

1/12/2018 09:42:34 pm

I have to agree with you because even though this is my second year in IB I don't manage my time wisely. Now I try to get things done when I can.

B Turner 7th period

1/12/2018 10:54:11 pm

I can relate i do the same things and i fail fail fail and now im so tired. And sad all the the time becuase personal problems and school work .But i will stop failing and i will start doing and completing all my work and if i study more and stop studying instagram and Boys. And focus on school and myself to Love myself and school work more and stop worrying and entertaining my haters and the people that bully me and to ignore and forget them i will be an A honor roll student and then i will Pass and ace my test with an A or B and then i can get skipped up a grade if i study more a work much much harder.

Z. James 1st

1/11/2018 11:17:22 pm

Not trying best or putting my potential into my school work. Accepting C's instead of trying my best not to obtain them. Giving my all into something that awards me in the end. Losing great relationships with people that I am close with. What I'll do in the end is keep trying my best at tasks until it just come naturally. Try to study everyday over all of my classes to the point where I know my work is a A. Letting people go because I may not go out with the same people I came in with.

victor ajuobi

1/12/2018 07:34:07 am

I see where your coming from as i also need to stop accepting low grades and work harder. I plan on working on that, as i have become more lazier this year.

when over this last semester i have been going through a lot of relsionship problems and my mind was never focused on the right thing and on top of that i was not very camted to my work and would slack off so this semester i will do better by doning all of my homework

B Turner

1/12/2018 11:03:08 pm

I can relate i want be more happier by being in a relationship and it's not worth it because they can get broken and go away and that was kept me slacking becuase i was having real life problems Boy trouble .And i was always stressed and Sad im sad now too but not as sad as i was last semester but im going to do better in 2018 i have Wonderful goals and ambitions and passions that i want them Better and bigger and Wiser

E. Hernandez 6th

1/12/2018 12:57:40 am

I regret slacking off. Sometimes when I dont feel like doing anything, I dont, instead I accept 0's. I get lazy and dont feel like doing anything. I regret letting myself become lazy. I need for fix it so my future can be better.

victor ajuobi

1/12/2018 07:32:49 am

I have a similar problem, as i have an procrastination problem knowing very well that I could be doing my work at home. I blame it on my lack of determination, as it is close to the end of the semester.

D. Hearne 1st

1/12/2018 05:21:27 pm

I do the same exact thing. I sit in my room staring at a book I know I'm supposed to be reading but instead I sit down and turn on Netflix. Its a habit I need to break if I want things to go the way I plan in the future.

J.Carire P-6

1/12/2018 08:25:51 pm

I agree with you E.Hernandez i do the same thing.I have to change that too.I procrascinate too much.

N.Brown

1/12/2018 01:30:57 am

Last Semester some things i regret is not asking questions when i didn't understand instead i sit there and be scared that what i ask will be something foolish . Also last semester i procrastinated a lot and i was being way to hard on myself doing things last minute and not focusing.I let people keep me unfocused most people would be like its the cellphone its not for me it more like the people .

victor ajuobi

1/12/2018 07:30:48 am

My main regrets about last semester was not getting all my work done, and making sure that i am ready to graduate. Last semester i was a little unfocused and didn't do a good job of making sure i did my work on time. I am senior right now and i still need to work on time management as that will be important when i go off to college. I plan on fixing that mistake and getting all the things i need to graduate done by the end or in next month. My regrets will not prohibit me from becoming a better student.

J. Butler 1st

1/12/2018 08:19:18 am

There are many regrets I have about the previous semester at school. I lost focus due to so much of the background activities I had in progress. I wish I were more consistent with my work and grades. I regret not being completely able to call myself an advanced academic student from this semester. I regret my season. But through it all, I’m still able to come out of the hole I dug.

B. Haynes 1st

1/12/2018 12:37:05 pm

The regrets that I have about this past semester is how horrible my time management was, as well as my procrastination. I think that if I were to schedule my time better and do my work as it was assigned, I would have gotten better grades. Though, dwelling on my mistakes last semester won't help me grow as a student; what will help me is realizing my mistakes and learning from them. This will require me to focus on my work and keep track of what I'm doing and what needs to be done, whether that be keeping a calendar or setting alarms. I know that I will be able to stick to these goals as long as I stay committed and motivated to become a better student.

C.villanueva 1st

1/12/2018 07:43:55 pm

I agree with dwelling on your mistakes won't help you grow as a student. We need to look forward to new opportunities and just be better than what we already were.

J. Maple 1st

1/12/2018 04:48:50 pm

I have many regrets this past semester. I regret opening my mouth when I shouldn’t have and keeping it closed when I should’ve spoken up. I regret not taking opportunities when they were offered to me. I regret not taking the time to better myself mentally and spiritually. However, if I let these mistakes take over my mind and corrupt my mentality, I will never move forward. My plan to adjust is to let go and let things flow naturally.

R. Garcia 1st

1/12/2018 09:41:09 pm

I also have the same regret of letting opportunities pass me by, mostly out of fear of failing.

A. Chicas 7th

1/12/2018 05:02:30 pm

I have many regrets of this passed semester. Such as just doing hard enough to get a 70 to pass. I really regret not doing the work that was given to me. Another regret I have is not trying hard enough to complete was is asked of me.These are things I really regret and i'm going to try harder, do my work and getting 80 and above.

C. McCowin 7th

1/12/2018 11:31:47 pm

I agree, to have a perfect and bright future, I will work harder to pass with acceptable grades to help reach my goals. What I have done last semester, I regret and will try my hardest to avoid those problems again.

D. Hearne 1st

1/12/2018 05:18:10 pm

Procrastinating is my number one regret. I always tell myself, "I'm going to go home do this, that, and the other in that order." and once I get home I go straight to sleep or watch television. I also regret makeing myself decide between a good grade or 9 hours of sleep. I cherished sleep so much that I started telling myself C's weren't so bad and that as long as I was still passing I'd be okay. Moving forward I will try and keep the procrastination to a minimum. I need to prioritize things better as well. In the end, the sleepless nights will be worth it.

Yes procrastination is also one of the biggest things slash regrets I have I normally have regrets after the fact when something has happened for instance when I don't get my work in on time I have to rush turning my words for procrastination that is a regret that you have to live with.

J. Maple 1st

Honestly, I went through the exact same thing. I started telling myself that I could just finish it tomorrow and the teachers probably won’t check for it. I hope to better my time management this semester as well.

R. Garcia 1st

1/12/2018 09:21:32 pm

Procrastination is one of the main things that i struggle with when it comes to school too. I feel like if you manage your time wisely and as you said "prioritize things better" you will not have to sacrifice hours of sleep, nor have to choose between a good grade or a good night's sleep.

J.Bonilla - 4th Pd

1/12/2018 11:00:16 pm

Procrastination gets the best of all of us. It is a regret that I have as well. It is my last semester before I graduate and I know how to do it very well.

I. Chancellor 1st period

1/12/2018 11:32:28 pm

In agreement, procrastination is one of my top regrets last semester. Not to mention, the feeling of determination before you get home, but then, it goes away when go home, feeling lazy. With all honesty, I have experienced this same feeling in the past. In disagreement, since I learned in the past how, B's can hurt you in the future, I relinquished the feeling of taking bad grades. In contrast, I am going to completely avert my procrastination, because it can hurt me in the future. In like manner, I will have to do the same thing. With all honesty, as a believer of staying up, to study for test and do assignments, it will be worth it, because your grades will reflect it.

Hope Aleman 1st period

1/12/2018 05:33:19 pm

Theres so many things that I regret doing/not doing from this past year alone. However, the biggest regret I have is how much I've procrastinated not only my school work, but my life choices. Unfortunately, I'm mostly always sick. Because of this, on the days that I feel okay, I'm motivated to do absolutely nothing. My mind tells me that I 'deserve' the time off, even though I know I can be better than that. I regret not bettering my communication skills, because my ability to make new friends outside my own circle has fallen tremendously. I regret not striving hard enough not only for my grades, but for my health and for my family as well. Theres moments where I dit down, and let everything fall on me before I realize that I am a failure. I plan on making this year better for me; I'm going to work harder than I did last year, and set more goals for myself.

As a person you have regrets. Me as a person that last semester was one of my biggest regret because I let myself down. I knew I could do better in school but my life took a turn and wasn't as successful as I am going to be this semester's. Regrets are something that automatically happens you can't control it it's like a pop-up thing. This message I strive to do better then I did last semester as a whole. So I won't have any regrets

When you are young you do thinks that you are not suppose to do but when you grow up you look back and have regrets. To me no one need to have regrets because no one is perfect and that things happen for a reason so that is why no one need any regrets to me.

F. Aleman 1st

I live my life with making sure I have no regrets because I believe that everything happens for a reason . If I made a 0 in a class or failed a paper , there’s a reason behind that . I don’t have any regrets from the past semester because I feel like I did everything that I could do to my best ability. This semester I am going to push myself harder and try to do better . I want to make myself proud and look back happy on my accomplishments. I have already started setting reminders for myself to do my homework and class work . I’m going try to manage myself better but also understand myself better . The way you work is a reflection on yourself and you always have to show your best self . You have to constantly put your best foot forward and not in your mouth .

I only have one regret... trying to hard and not having enough fun. Considering my situation, I tried so hard to keep my grades up so I wouldn't fail the 2nd semester. I stayed home all day, worked on homework all night and rushed finishing details in the morning. I completely forgot to go out and have fun and now that I physically can, I have responsibilities to focus on. Even though I can't and wouldn't want to go back, I will try to have fun with my new family. I will have a new type of fun.

I regret not doing my homework because it is the main reason my grades are how they are.I regret talking too much because I wasted most of my time doing it.I regret not obeying my teachers or respecting them because it is not who I am.I will try to focus more on my homework and obey my teacher in the future.

During this past semester I didn't achieve what I wanted. I regret procrastinating sometimes with work because giving the fact I was not doing my best my grades were a little bit low. This is my last semester in high school and I will do my best to accomplish what I have in mind.

One regret i had this past semester was procrastinating and not producing good quality work. Although i had a fair amount of time to complete my assignments, i always found myself completing them at the last minute and pulling multiple all-nighters. Moving forward, i will definitely keep distractions away and manage my time more wisely.

Right , I could never get my work done on time because I had too many distractions.

This past semester I had one regret . Which was using my time wisely . For instance,when I’m at home I’ll do everything else but my work because it’s like I forget about school sometimes . Now I try to convince myself to put my work first and all the extra later . I have gotten better with using my time wisely because I see how some of my late work was affecting me .

I feel the exact same way at times.I get home to late and just want to eat and sleep and forget or just don't want to do my homework. I feel like its better for me to do it the first time then to it the next time.

Same with me I use to just go home and not do anything because I didn’t feel like it, but once I noticed how bad it affected me grade I started doing my work and paying more attention.

Many say they live life without regret but is that certainly a valid statement? There was not one thing you wish you could’ve changed? For me personally outside of school, I regret going to the game I injured my knee. On the other hand, during school I regret wasting so much time on not progressing on my internal assessments or not taking my time with assignments given to me. As the day comes close to deadlines I am setting dates on my planner earlier than the due date to make sure I have everything I need by the due date. I am telling myself that this will all be worth it. If I don’t do it now, I will be in so much regret.

The regrets that I have about last semester was time management and procrastination.For example, I did not have a schedule of how I as going to do my assignments , when I got home. Another example, was me doing my work at the last minute, after having one or two whole days to do my work. With all honesty, to fix this time management problem, I am going to write a schedule of how my day should go. Now to fix procrastination, as soon as I get home, I am going to do my work, instead of waiting to do it at the last minute. Lastly, with these revisions, I am not going to end my junior year with regrets.

I honestly live with no regrets. To live with regrets is not truly living. Of course every decision I make isn't the best and there is always be room for improvement, but I use those unlikely experiences to progress as an individual. To move forward from a bad decision I examine where I faulted, tell myself that everyone make mistakes, and try to positively encourage myself to be better overall.

This year was my first year in high school. Everyday, I get closer to graduating and going to college. Recently, I noticed that I don't pay attention to what I'm doing now that will affect my future; I'm just going with the flow. I need to be more focused on what I'm doing now so I can have a bright future and I can make my parents happy. That's my main goal for 2018.

I agree, I'm to busy going with the flow with everyone else when I really should just get my work done the first time and not repeat anything.I mean who wants that.

Same thing here I would just flow the same way as everybody else, but I noticed that wasn’t getting me anywhere so I started flowing by myself and doing my on thing because I knew if I did that I would do better and I did do better.

There one thing my dad told me to not have in my live and that is regrets but sometimes you make choices in your life that you want to change. I regret some of the people I met and choose to be in my life because they distracted me and then left me sad and confused a frustracted, and that led to me being a terrible student. I also regret failing my biology class. I was really slacking off and doing bad and once I failed I started doing my work and it seem so easy once I started paying attention and doing my work more.I guess sometimes you have to go through something hard to become better for your self and as a person.

I don’t like to call them regrets i just like to change things, but if i have to i would regret some of the people i met because they were distracting me from getting my work done. Another thing i regret is how i acted myself because i wasn’t getting my work done and i just played around. Ways i can and will change this is to not talk to or sit by people that will distract me from doing my work and i will start paying attention, stop playing around, and get my work done so i can be successful.

I Have A Couple Regrets To Get Off My Chest. I Regret Playing Around In Class. Because I Am Really Smarter Then What I Am. I’ve Made One ( C ) On My Report Card This Whole Year, And It Was A 79. If It Wasn’t For Me Playing And Getting At My Teacher In Class I Would Have Had As & Bs. I Will Start Striving Forward By Not Messing Around And Just Do Me.
