There comes a time in every person’s life, or at least I would hope so, where one ponders the what-ifs of yesteryear.

There’s an old saying “I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger…”

I truly believe every person will eventually say this; the point to be made is when.

As a Senior in my Undergraduate institution, I have already discovered this phenomenon.  I’m not placing myself above anyone else by claiming I’ve already had the epiphany.  All I’m saying is that I’ve had it.

As a Freshman I had potential.  I had resources.  I had everything at my finger-tips, a scientist working for NASA, a cluster of machines in a room begging me to come play.  Instead I chose other means, and I regret this today because I can only imagine, if given more time with Dr. Porter, all the things I could have accomplished here.

Now don’t get me wrong, I have done some great things with Dr. Porter this past year.  I am also not down on myself for staying up till 4am playing video games and playing pranks with my hall-mates.   These things helped define who I am, and college is a learning process.

I truly wonder about many people in this college ‘game.’  How many years will it take before they realize they didn’t take their education seriously…  one?  two? five? twenty? never?!

Bleh, just some of my ramblings.
