If you could get back your student life?

Do you sometimes miss your school or college days, particularly the college days and think it would have been better if you could get back those days? It could have been utilized in a more fruitful way. As you can now vividly visualize your drawbacks during that period of your life, you could easily correct them and the outcome could be more success in life. But is it really so? Would it be possible for you to be more successful in life than at present if almighty God be kind enough to give you such a chance?

If I could go back to my student life, then I would study hard. I would be willingly to do so and probably find it interesting. I would take advantage of the winter and summer vacation and do something meaningful rather than wasting the time. I love China

Everybody thinks so. The students of today who are now desperately waiting for the completion of this life would one day definitely say, 'If I could go back to my student life, I promise to utilize it fully'.

I'm a student now and I can't wait until it's over. So far, I've been in school for 14 years of my life. Enough is enough and I'm ready for it to be over. Even though everyone always says "Oh college, those are the best years of your life". For me, they're not and I just want to get them over with.

As you are still now a student, your mentality must be different from that of mine. But I think when you will reach my age, you will also have the same mentality as I have now.

If I could go back to my student life, I would be a good student, and diligent. I will always be diligent in leaving college, pay attention to lessons, and always learning, and not pay attention to other problems, besides studying. My student life is very bad, even I could not continue my college, because I have a child. I am very sorry for it.

If can, i would like to start over from primary school. I wish i can learn by heart during school day especially the language. I didn't concentrate at all during my primary school. I will correct the mistake that i made and make myself no regret in my life.

I never went to college. I remember junior high was okay. High school was tough. I was depressed and extremely shy. It was a difficult time. I think with some changes I could have done better. I was in a fog and I think it is a wonder I did as well as I did. I could have.

If I could go back to school or college, I will study in earnest. During my school and college, I am a very lazy student.

Good day to you DoctorDidi, A nice topic discussion. With reference to that, if I will be given a chance to go back to my student life, I would choose the college days. As my output was not that fruitful during those times. And if will be given a chance to go back, I will promise to myself that I will be fruitful this time and even more fruitful as I want it to be. As I will do my very, very best to graduate with an honor. And not only that, I will make it sure that I will make it to the finals to be a Certified Public Accountant. But, since, it is just a mere question, and in reality, I cannot go back anymore, so I am just doing my best now though I cannot be a Certified Public Accountant now at my age. Nevertheless, I am not that regretfull with what happened to me though I was not able to make it on the top, as I am happy with what I am seeing now to my other siblings as they have already reached what they want to be. Seeing them on the top is an achievement for me. Have a nice day DoctorDidi.

When you are in college, all you want is to finish it off and get out and work. When you are now working, you lament why you did not do the best you can while in college and wanting to go back again and learn more than you have learned. Career life is very much different from student life. It is more complex and demanding while student life is full of dreams and wishful thinking. I guess we all have this regret sort of feelings when we are face to face with the realities of life!

Well I would love to go back but I was not partial to my school days. I would rather go back to a time when the girls were hot and the music ruled. Lets say the late 70's and the early 80's. I had lots of good times back then and I sometimes miss them. Although I have to say that I did hook up with a girl that I always thought was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. We knew each other back then and now we are together. How awesome. It's like re-living those days again.

School time is something that I miss so much and want to go back in that time.It's same with your discussion, sometime I really want to go back in time.But if I can go back, all I want to do is not to correct my rank and be a better student -I was serious student and always achieve good point in school, but I really want to enjoy my student time with my friend.Become so serious during school make me regret, why do I not enjoy it that time?After it I just feel not alive.I want to be student once again, hang out with my friend, be naughty student somehow, and so on.I want to totally enjoy it!!

hi DoctorDidi thats an interesting discussion. I dont really think I would be more fruitful if I could go back to these good old days. Yes I miss them as the three years I studied at the university far away from home were a wonderful lovely time and I knew back then that I should use the time wisely. Some subjects were really boring at univ. but I rarely flunked lessons and I tried to get good grades and a good diploma. Unfortunately back then the cities didnt have more money than they have by now so jobs were scarce and I could not get work in the profession I was taught. But there were enough smaller jobs available to keep my head above the water, so to speak, and later I found better jobs and also did a re training. So this time was not lost completely.

As far as my studies were concerned during my college days, i was an average student but i managed to get through my entire course of 7 years(since it was part time) without any failure.However the time that i had was fantastic, the friends that i had, our escapades, all were simply out of the world.If God had to give me a second chance i would not mind going through exactly what took place then without altering anything,even my average studies.Those were memorable days,Bombay was a wonderful place to be in at that time and the memories of those times are simply irreplaceable.No, i would not want to change anything.Those were days of innocence and playfulness not to be forgotten as long as i live.

I also think about it. It is good thing if my life is back at least 30 years back. I was done lot of mistakes in my life. I think many times I was not done that I am became more happy. But it impossible. Past is history we can read it but we cannot live it.

I hope that I can go back to my student life, and recapture the moments I lost. I would bravely go up to the girl I like in my high school year, and tell her that I really like her, instead to be a coward. I am so regretful. I also would do my best to improve my grade. I know that I can do better than anyone in my class, and I can do a lot better then. I just didn't settle down my heart for it.

I could not have thought of anything then to bring back my grade 10 final national exams days. The night before the exam, some friend tricked me into drinking and I drank ionto day light and came to the exam place full drunk and I just scribbled through the exam and did not do well. My internal marked took me home to go to a college. I was aiming to go to a univerity to study law and it did not come for me. I regret that day and the silly thing I did to this very day as I write this post.
