Default An Antidote to Regret

I am going to jot down as many things I can think of that I did right during my college career, just to be positive.

- I didn't become an alcoholic.
- I didn't flunk out.
- I didn't catch an STD
- I started eating healthier (albeit taking a spiraled path)
- I questioned everything I was brought up to believe, on my own volition
- I explored my mind (with various techniques) and discovered new plateaus of consciousness
- I discovered meditation
- I took psychology, philosophy, music appreciation, buddhism, skiing, and tae kwon do
- I started reading independently, as much as I could
- I made a couple close friends
- I had quite a few crazy nights
- I never became (permanently) addicted to cigarettes
- I saw a speech by a writer for the Simpsons (favorite event)
- I saw a few other interesting speeches
- I explored new depths of personal illness (eek)
- I didn't become a cookie cutter personality
- I went for long nature walks and bike rides
- I started playing hacky sack
- I saw some good college bands
- I gained a greater passion for music
- I played intramural soccer and football
- I didn't make friends with low lifes

Like, you continue watching college bands, still have crazy nights but on the other hand you've become an alcoholic and smoke fags permenantly?
