<p>wish i had sex in HS</p>
<p>I’m currently taking a gap year… but I did what the other posters were saying… I applied last year and asked for a one-year deferral. It was pretty easy and saves a lot of worrying and stress as you already know where you’re going (plus you don’t have to go back to your high school to get the necessary transcripts, letters, etc.).</p>
<p>The one thing I regret I guess during this gap year would be that in the first three months or so, I felt really lost in a way because after years of intense pressure of academics and extra curricular activities, everything just slowed down. </p>
<p>When my friends went to university, they all got pretty busy so I definitely felt like I was just wasting my time not doing something productive. </p>
<p>After three months into the gap year, things started getting busier when I started volunteering and now… well now it’s just crazy hectic juggling a job, volunteer, working out and just doing other things I’d love to do.</p>
<p>My regret I guess would be that I wish I didn’t take those slow days for granted. I didn’t realize it was a well-needed rest period and it wouldn’t last forever. </p>
<p>Just enjoy your gap year and get the most out of it for yourself. Sometimes I think I let the expectations of others - about what this year had to be - get in the way of me actually enjoying those first few months. </p>
<p>And… don’t choose to be busy for the sake of being busy… just do something you like… next thing you know there’s only 7 months left until September.</p>
<p>I wished I actually studied in highschool. I wished I had taken more AP classes. But then again, my HS’s AP classes are so dumbed down I wouldn’t learn a thing even if I took 10 of them. Plus theres all the bad influence(drugs, gangs, extremely lazy student pop.) that I have to put up with. In all if I cared I wouldn’t end up in the ridiculous situation that I’m in. But oh well…</p>
<p>I wish I had more of a life outside of school, worked out more, and read more. </p>
<p>I really want to take a gap year, you’re lucky your parents let you. I had everything planned out, hahah. I wanted to travel. To volunteer at plays and storytelling festivals and such. And I wanted to finish my book and start shopping it around to agents. Take advantage of yours and enjoy!</p>

<p>I second this. I regret having sat around waiting for my life to start when I got to college, when I could have started my life while in high school, albeit with greater difficulty. I regret not being more active.</p>
