Barlow College Reading Fall 2016 discussion

Since most of us are about 2 weeks away from being second semester seniors, is there anything you wish you did during your high school career that you now regret not doing? I know in the book I'm reading, the woman only has 4 months to live and she regrets not doing so many things.

I wish I had been more open-minded in meeting new friends and talked to more people that I came in contact with everyday.

i wish i joined more clubs or outside activities because it is a great way to meet new friends. i have isolated myself from other people in high school and i kind of regret it because i know there are so many amazing people that go here and i haven't put in the effort to know these people

I wish i made more of an effort to get more sleep by like going to bed earlier. But what book is this? It sounds interesting.

The book is called before I go by Colleen Oakley

I wish I made some time to truly have fun instead of always being stressed about my school work. The "high school experience" only happens once and I really wish I made the most of it

I wish I had procrastinated a lot less so I could have had a less stressful high school experience.

APUSH may have been a mistake...

I definitely regret procrastinating so much and not going to bed early enough on weekdays.

Great question, Katie! I hope you guys keep your responses in mind for next year when you embark on the next CHAPTER of life (like my book pun?)! One of my high school regrets? I used to give up on math pretty quickly whenever it felt too hard; I wish I had persevered more.

I regret not working on my time management to prevent stress. I also regret everything that has to do with calculus

Probably learning on how to not procrastinate with so many essays and projects. I've done that with many essays for all four years at Barlow and I feel that it's an essential part of life, being able to balance everything in a timely manner.
