[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, where to start. I guarantee I am the biggest failure on DCUM. I have so many regrets.

I regret that I was lazy and self-destructive and never worked hard to get good grades. I'm as intelligent and far better-read than the 4.0 GPA holders I know, but because of my laziness and lack of time management skills and motivation and discipline (oh, and zero self-esteem and self-destructive instincts) I:

- graduated high school with a 3.0 and went to a shitty local state school that I still regret attending.
- graduated college with a 3.1 and went to a mid-level law school
- graduated law school with a 2.9 (always one point lower - that amuses me) and somehow got a job.

And now as a lawyer I'm applying myself for the first time and am bitter and shocked to see how good I am at what I do. I could have gone to Ivies if I had worked this hard when I was younger. I REALLY regret it. Like it or not, people in DC judge you by the schools you went to.

I also regret not losing weight while I was still young enough to enjoy being pretty. That goes back to the same laziness I had in all areas of my life.

I regret getting so deep into credit card debt as a student.

I regret that I was nearly evicted from my apartment because I couldn't make rent.

I regret that I almost never had any romantic success with the opposite sex because I had no confidence in myself.

I'm a failure.  :([/quote]

You are not a failure because at least you have gone out and tried.  Failures are people who never even do that.  [/quote]
