writes:I am really annoyed at myself and feel like such a loser for not having gained the full experience of being at university. People usually take up a society or become a club rep and I haven't, I tried in first year and then didn't follow through with it and then second year I wanted to but the work load was too much I couldn't, especially since when they meet interfered with my lectures. And the thought of being a rep meant I'd have to loose out on some of my night out (very stupid now I know).Now i'm going into third year and I want to join one and do it, but all my friends and my family are saying it's pointless now and i'll probably be the only third year joining! I don't care about that and if I am, what I'm upset about is how I think what if it turns out to be amazing and I really enjoy being a part of a society, then i'll have to leave and i'll be even more annoyed at myself for not joining in first year!!I just don't feel I've gained the most out of my university experience, it's been amazing 2 years so far. But I just think I never worked in a bar, never did promotor work and never joined a society. I know I have only myself to blame, but any advice on what to do or opinions would be great since I can't be more annoyed at myself than I am now

You can have it all if you learn to keep balance. If others can do it, so can you. Stop using excuses and discouraging yourself. If your crave it, go for it.
Enrich your college experience and do what it is you say you want to do.
Forget about all the reasons you shouldn't, so you won't be looking back with regret because you didn't.
