Regret
Does it every just spring up on you?
Right now, I'm feeling it. I'm writing up a CV for my professor to get him
to write a recomendation, and I realize...I peaked at the age of 20. I haven't
done anything noteworthy since 2007.
College started out great for me- I was a tutor, I was involved in a sport,
I had a job, I was involved in a lot of activities.
And then I transfer to UD, and I get it into my head that I'm John Walsh
from Fraternity Memoirs, and I don't do anything except party my ass off and go
on the occasional burn ride. I was involved with some stuff, but not nearly as
much as I used to be.
Then I get put on a Dean's Vacation for a year, and I spend it bumming
around in community college and partying my ass off in bars and parties. And I
come back, and I don't really do anything, at all.
I thought I was going to leave behind this great legacy when I graduate
from college...and I'm not. No one is going to remember that I was ever there,
because I just didn't much while I was there. I had this great opportunity to go
to this really fine school, and I didn't do nearly as much with it as I should
have.
And it's too late now- I'm graduating in 8 weeks baring failing Italian-
and when I step off the stage, only my family members are going to clap because
they're the only ones who are going to know who the hell I am.
I guess all I can do is remember this feeling, and try and do more in
graduate school*fingers crossed* than I did during my time here at University of
Delaware.
