Attempting to live life without regrets is an impossible venture

Something about Bedford evokes feelings of nostalgia, and during this trip in particular I found myself recalling some of my finer moments growing up in this picturesque suburb of Toledo. I was always reminded to live with no regrets, to seize each day with the utmost enthusiasm and passion for the world I was possibly able to muster. And don't get me wrong, it's an inspiring motto to live by but is it plausible? As a high school student can you honestly survive all four years without involving yourself in something shamefully ridiculous? As fun as it would be to list my many downfalls in life, I found a few specifically notable:

1. The obsession I once had for the "local music scene" and one bass player in particular. WHY LIZ WHY??
2. The amount of money, time, and brain capacity I wasted on the topic covered above
3. The alternative myspaces Jenny and I created... sometimes I wonder about us
4. My compulsive lying sophomore & junior year
5. The amount of time Meredith and I spent in front of the camera
6. The detailed plans Jenny and I drew up in order to get our hands on the infamous Holister surfboard
7. Not the first but the second time I attempted to soak in Brent's hot tub- the run in with his estranged neighbor was not worth a dip in his pleasant jacuzzi
8. The nights I wasted "getting to know" the guys who were dumber than the couch we sat on
9. Believe it or not, I worried about what other people thought of me, and I regret that
10. Disguising myself as the Easter bunny for the children of Green Hills- every child collaboratively harassed me for the entire two hours I volunteered to appear at their neighborhood party.
11. Relating Britney Spears' song Gimme More to a particularly attractive male teacher...
12. Admitting my inability to tell time in AP Government
13. I regretfully admit I was too friendly with Kyle... but he did ruin my love for my only headband and he probably should've apologized for that
14. Putting a chair in the pool and lounging in it while lifeguarding and then lying about it later
15. My attempt to write an enthralling novel and my unsuccessful online publishing pursuits

As a matter of fact, this is me!

An event I will never regret

My love for bands was well... gag-worthy

I most certainly regret my pink hair phase

This phase in my life was pretty hysterical but I can't say I didn't have fun

Our obsession with this board got us absolutely no where

And some things I did are far too embarrassing to ever mention on the internet but my case in point, every action certainly does have it's consequences. Some of the mistakes I made taught me a valuable life lesson but most were just plain stupid. To claim you made it this far in life without one, single regret would be a complete lie, so man up and spill your guts.
