So I ran into an old school mate of mine sometime last week, she was my roomie, very reserved and bookish.

While I and my friends / other roomies were very social and went to the occasional club parties, she was always indoors with her books and well, I guess it paid off cuz she graduated with a 2.1 while we struggled with 2.2.

Back to when I saw her, after exchanging pleasantries we reminisced about school days and I was shocked to hear her say she envied my days in school, like she wished she lived a more social life, I was so surprised I on the other hand wished I was serious and concentrated more on my studies, maybe just maybe I would have graduated with a better grade.

We both laughed at the irony of it all and this made me wonder ; do we all wish we did things differently in the university when we look back?

Las las i made front page ...am a conqueror am idaboski i bring fear to my enemies...nairaland is my boy including all the mods..about the topic school is shit..left that depressing four walls of university when i saw realised they is no sense studying in a shithole..so i put my hustle first and have never been dissapointed cause oluwa gat our back but naija government doesnt..shalom nairaland bitches and nigggas..

Nope.

Yep. I was so reserved and not social. I regret not being social and just always indoors.

No cause for regret.

Nope i didnt...did everytin in moderation

I regret not utilizing my time well, I had good grades but I didn't make use of the resources in school to create a good network

Kinda.

UI was a stressful school.

Countless TDB's. . .

No tangible regret though.

I wish I had gone out more sha. Only focused on books, it paid off but my social life sucks. Up till now.

I wasn't so social. Or let me I minded my business..
This is FP material.

Never too late

Me i'm trying my best to live and please God

you watch anime?

My regret is just that I was too studious and bookish in my school days. I should have used the time to make a connection with the real people

I realise now that to be too studious is dangerous in this country

I wish I had invested in at least one relationship.

Well, I don't blame myself much now because I was too young. I had followed my older cousin's advice that the less commitment the better but now I know better.

To answer this question I have to narrate an instance to connect with my answer. I gained ission into uni at a very tender age, my 100 level day's was too ruff that I was suspended. My resolution was on getting back notting would stop me from archiving my goal.
I was very studious and my friendship were measured on knowledge basis, if you're not smart enough then no need to be friends with you. I myself was not perfect,i had too struggle a lot to be in that group... unfortunately I found myself dating girls older than me cause my look gave that macho impression, to cut long story short I found no love in my stay in school and no fun friend's, just serious minded people all up in my s..got no regrets for that tho, just the relationship part!

That too, I had the opportunity to learn so many crash courses now I'm a mummy of 2 bubbly and active children and I find it so difficult to acquire these skills.

Your cousin was right. What do Nigerian undergraduates do in relationships?

Hmm

Bible study.

You didn’t miss out on anything valuable. Some do not even know what their so called school bfs and gfs graduated with.

My school days was bliss! I was the life of every social activities back then in Malabor Republic. I had the words of one very great writer in mind, 'Colleges and Universities are not education itself but a MEANS to education'. The social and rugged life i led in school gave me all the education i needed. Nope no regrets.

Enjoyed my undergrad days, right from our first year the lecturers drilled into our ears that uni was not all about books, we should experience life by building networks, doing outdoors and this did spark my interests in hiking and wildlife.

I have always been an introverted bookworm so I won't say I missed out on anything, but my only regret is not honing my creative writing skills and participating in more writing workshops.
