Downloading a shitty mmo called Kingdoms Live on my ipod touch in like 7th grade

let's see ...

self-harm
playing too much vidya during school which resulted in pretty bad grades
not staying in touch with my friends from school
breaking up with my gf of 5 years
not starting to lift weights sooner
not looking for a job straight away when i finished school
pretty much wasting 3 years of my life at university not really studying and just playing vidya and partying instead just to drop out

getting my shit together now but god damn i was a fucking retard for a good part of my life

quitting soccer after my second surgery instead of putting in the work to get back to where I was skill wise :/

every girl I had dated, most of the friends I had made in my youth came from connections I had made through tournaments, university camps, just mutual friends across clubs on the Island

x vvvvvvvv

Tell me more.

drugs
cutting
alcohol
withdrawing from friends
epic internet shitposts
being controlling and needy
starving myself
being bad to my mom
high school

I've seen dryer sheets thicker than the ice mustardoverlord is standing on lmao

in no particular order

• getting back with my ex after a break
  
• playing so much tf2 without genuinely trying to improve and just kinda coasting
  
• not practicing good dental hygine while I struggled with depression
  
• avoiding social situations in highschool because i was too focused on spending time with my gf
  
• Working at tim hortons for 5 years.
  
• Not staying at the bar that night with luc and phelon, sorry dudes :/

getting my dick sucked on a staircase :3

shut the fuck up indecency

Not trying in school is the worst desicion I've made, if you are starting or going into high school there isn't really a reason not to get a 3.75+ especially if you take APs.

Pushing people out of my life is a huge regret too. If you really like someone there isn't a reason to push them away. I've ended too many relationships for no reason.

.

making a social media account even though my parents wouldnt allow it, posting really dumb and innaproriate stuff for my age, and getting caught for it.

Then i did it again 2 years later but on a much smaller scale and i stopped using it very soon. unfortunately i had gone to some random persons profile and retweeted a post they made with two kids from a nearby school "doing the dirty" in the bathroom. the account had no ties to me, not even my normal email, but they still found it. im very lucky to have gotten in trouble for lying about making the account, rather than the content.

being a general disappointment to my dad and not having anyone close enough to talk to about a variety of personal problems that keep mounting

i mean joining milters lol!!!

i don't get enough sleep and it most definitely has caused a lot of cardiovascular damage. at this point, i can't sleep comfortably anymore and i get ~4-5 hours of sleep whenever i do sleep due to angina & anxiety.

i shouldn't have done assignments one-at-a-time; i should've divided-and-conquered them even when they were relatively trivial. i stayed up for 122 hours straight last week to do homework because i naively pursued perfection on each assignment one-at-a-time, and it caused me to only have enough time to partially complete the last homework assignment when i finally got to it. trying to sleep afterwards was a joke; i couldn't stop hallucinating and i felt nauseous for a couple of days straight lol.

i seriously will never understand what it is that drives you, but whatever it is i want some
when was the last time you took an L, if ever ..

giving up on my career as a game designer
now I work in IT fixing up sbs and exchange servers
Please kill me...

Not spending enough time with friends and my dad.
Working on it though. Went drinking with friends 3 days ago, talked to my dad on the phone yesterday after not seeing him for 6 months and probably visiting him this weekend :)

Not doing enough about my video game addiction

what's forcing you down the IT path? financial constraints? windows servers are boring as fuck to work with, so i can empathize.

Not studying or paying attention to anything for 5 years.

Spending too much time playing lobbies and ignoring my social and academic life for the past year

[redacted]

Most stupid decision ive done was going to university the first time to study history. It was like 1.3 years of hell and another 9 months of other shit.

It's all good now as I'm starting my final year of biology (at a different uni) next week.

Honestly, I can't wait to get out of education, I've been in the system since I was like 4 and Ill be graduating 2 months before I turn 25.

You'll never be a historian like Polybius who gets to be an eye-witness in the third punic war and see the devastation of the sack of carthage from the front row, and write a heart rending account of it, and journey all across the meditterean to visit every ancient place of significance.until you get to be in your eighties ;_;

You're golden with hope. Give it a couple of years of soul crushing corporate exploitation and you'll be kicking the University's door in

I was already "good at computers" so I figured it would be the easiest career change.
It kind of was but I had gotten certs in security+ and CEH and ended up not doing any of that...
Don't get me wrong, it can be fun and recently I've been doing more configuring for email security applications (Dell ES300s) and SonicWalls/Sophos, but...there are many days I regret not trying harder to find a job in Game Design.

The best thing that came out of my game design stuff was going to E3 2012.

my worst decision is the first time i ever decided to help muma with something computer related

he actually just had to facetime me so i could tell him which side of his new computer was the bottom how is anyone this dumb

sleeping life told me that one of his old highlander teammates made the same mistake as you and ended up ordering muma a new PSU which is allegedly sitting in its original box unopened under his bed
yikes
