<p>What are the things that you regretted doing or not doing in undergrad and what could you have done to change it?</p>
<p>Study abroad and not taking more business classes (being an engineering grad).</p>
<p>Not participating in the weekly colloquia and other social/academic events in our department from day one.</p>
<p>Too many: classes not taken, friendships/relationships not pursued, undergrad flies by.
But hindsight is 20/20. lesson is to take blinders off.</p>
<ol>
<li> Not studying abroad</li>
<li> Not taking more art classes (was an architecture major)</li>
</ol>
<p>I should have continued regularly with my foreign language class, not out of requirement, but out of a pure desire cuz I love it (and now going into SAIS I’d have a better chance scoring into an advanced level rather than starting from scratch) OH WELL! :sigh:</p>
<p>not doing any research work, thus forcing me to do my masters to get some research experience before applying for PhD.</p>
<p>Correction to #2: <em>NOT STUDYING</em> abroad and not taking more business classes (being an engineering grad).</p>
<p>When you refer to research work what do you mean?</p>
<p>Not being comfortable enough with myself to pursue a relationship with this really sweet guy who was totally into me. Damn, we would have made a good match…</p>
<p>What language, Helen? I’ll be at SAIS, too :-)</p>
<p>Spanish Paraguay :)</p>
<p>Does that mean you’re going into Latin American studies, Helen?</p>
<p>If so, we’ll probably have half our classes together.</p>
<p>Yes I am going into LAS 
Hoping for a good internship in Mexico next year Well something along the lines of gender-parity in development Do you have MSN? (we can chat)</p>
<p>-taking certain classes just because other people told me to
-not taking college seriously
-not studying abroad
-not dorming
-not joining any clubs
-taking all the wrong classes
-not following my instinct :(</p>
<p>What specifically, about study abroad?
The chance to live/travel at a reduced cost? Doing so would have delayed graduation for me.</p>
<p>Study abroad
independent study/reasearch
double majoring</p>
<p>I studied a broad and she slapped me… it’s not worth it.</p>
<p>^ Priceless :)</p>
<p>Haha that was actually pretty clever…</p>
<p>
Uh huh, you know you liked it.</p>
