Things that you feel you may have missed out on

[Million]

My mate is in 3rd year of medical school, he still manages to get a fair few nights out!

I can only assume he is considerably more intelligent than me! But really, it's not just p155ups I was talking about

IS there anything (not necessarily music) that you think maybe rolled past you?

Yea rick....

On a slightly less juvenile note. Anytime that Ive said yes, when I should have said no, and vice versa really. Those are things that you have missed out on. And yes I realise that it could be put down as "at the time you chose that answer because you wanted to" so its not something that you have missed out on, per say, but it can be considered.

I dont know if this really "missing out on", but I wish I started playing the guitar a lot earlier.

Oh and my "teenhood" - Im epicly lazy.

No thanks Madduck, no time this evening

I'm one of those that found someone good in halls in 1st year, and i've been with her since

Spending some more time with my dad before he kicked the bucket

Not chasing the money and actually working to get a career I wanted (in games)

The odd bit of poontang when I was younger and nerdier (several occasions of poontang on a plate that I passed up without even realising it at the time...). I don't want to correct it now but I do feel a bit when I reminisce about my adolescence

Not starting to play guitar when I was younger is probably the biggest thing to be honest, I got bought a cheap classical acoustic many many years ago by my parents and I'm ashamed to say it just sat in a cupboard

Six or seven years later when I picked up an electric I really wished I'd gotten the few years practice in I could've when I was younger.

I guess there were a few girls that got away - something I probably still haven't learn from because I'm too stubborn to change some ways, maybe.

But otherwise I don't think it's too late to do anything - or change anything - in your life. I went back to Uni a few years ago (I'm coming up for 29) and am doing something I absolutely love (for probably the first time in my life) and am hoping to get a first in summer. But there are those far older than me as well. True, you probably won't hang with the really young ones, but I already did that the first 2 times I was at uni.

I also missed out on travelling when I was younger - except not really because I didn't have the money, and saving was impossible since I had to chip in for the family during financial strain - but I still have every intention of doing it. I know plenty who didn't start travelling until their 30s, and they had the most amazing time - similarly, one of them didn't start snowboarding till he was 35....so there's still hope for me in that respect!

Infact, thats a good one. I went to Uni but didnt take the opportunity/ chance to live the "proper" uni life.

Same here, although I lived in halls n' stuff. May be I'm anti-social, nerd, g33k etc etc ... During my time at leeds I got labelled the "computer guy" and people were only interested in being nice to me to get this fixed or that sorted out...not to mention the girls "aww Mike, can you help me with my IT coursework..."

I guess being quite reserved, I do come off as a rather difficult person to speak with but I had some really bad experiences with locals (particularly, in Leeds) where they were downright rude/racist and from that time I guess I clammed up and didn't bother even "trying" to reach out to anyone. Thankfully though I made a single best friend during my 1st year in Leeds and that's far better than 20+ "ships that pass by"...

I might be brave enough to start another thread on this topic...

I'm with OiD on the sports thing, never really got into it. Was into mountain biking and swimming when I was a kid but I wasn't really a competitive sort.

Doing a PhD... I really wanted to do one spent a year looking and doing nasty temporary jobs, got a place and then it was differed and I just couldn't stand holding on and dossing for another year so I did a Masters (1 year) and got a job.

Doing some more travelling, I've done a bit (with my ex gf) but I can't seem to get any of my friends interested in going anywhere that isn't commerical... so I feel like that is passing me by a bit but I know there is something I can do about that. Go on my own like a billy! lol!

I don't really feel like I've missed out on anything else much; I've been in love, I've gotten an education, I've got some nice friends, I've had the university experience, I've tried some weird and wonderful "herbs" (mostly legal ones, had some friends into ethnobotany and relgious hallucinogens and what not, interesting experiences I can tell you!), I've been to festivals etc...

I'm about to be a best man for the first time Job is pretty cool... can't complain really.

I'm kinda in this boat just now - except I've missed the deadline for my application for this year as I realised I was about to fail my honours project if I didn't do something about it. I wouldn't mind doing a masters, but at the moment I'm kinda glad I'm not applying to any post grad because a) I can't afford it, and b) it'll give me time to think about what I really want to do.

I still would love to do a PhD, and I've already got the support of most of my lecturers to aid my application, but I think I need time to think about what it is I really want to be researching. I'm rubbish at sticking to something - I've changed my course 6 times already, and I completely changed my honours project after first semester...so I don't really want to live like a student for another 4 years without it being completely worthwhile.
