Have you ever regretted a major decision, then been faced to live with the consequences?

Question

I have. As an unsure graduating senior from HS, I didn't know anything about college nor had I researched. My grandmother forced me to go to a historically black college and pick a major. I picked finance because I knew they made money. Not for passion. Well, I entered that University in 2003 and I am still there now. I didn't do research on that school or anything. I hate it. I really love Art History, as I just added a minor. But, I am currently temping at Columbia in NYC and I LOVE it. If I had a chance to do it all over again, I would choose there. Or just research my choices more. I am 22 and about to graduate in a program i HATE. And my grades show it! So tell me, what have YOU done that you regret? Did YOU do anything to make it right? Any advice for me? Should I sit out for a while? ADVICE. Thank you.

Answer 1

I dont get it.  why regret anything?  I bet campus is full of older students doing something else.  Use me as your motivation to go get a life, lol.

Answer 2

every action has a reaction sometimes it's good other times it's bad and sometimes it's both what you need to do now is get your head straight figure out where you want to go with your career if art history is that then go for it.

there are many things i regret but at the time it felt right so i don't know if i can say for sure if i regret them. one thing for sure is that i never took enough opportunities. i guess you could say i was all work and no play. i was too focused on the future which can be a good thing but you also need to focus on the now aswell as the future which i was not doing. i feel like part of me has missed out on so much that no matter what i do i can never get it back .

anyways good luck with everything
