more on that "regret study" mentioned in an earlier blog entry:

Though the above is actually a stock photo, the hallway pictured looks a lot like my school, even enough to be my high school.
Many a person out there in the world (or so I've heard) still dream about such trivial things as locker combinations, forgetting to study for a test, showing up to class in underwear...pretty much anything high school-related. Some of us probably dream about it more than others.
But those aren't really regrets, just moments or things from some of the most challenging four years of life.
Of the regrets mentioned in the study, some were related to high school, specifically former crushes and lost loves. Why so long ago, I wonder?
Most likely, as Marilyn Vos Savant once said, because in no other time in our lives do we have the least amount of common sense and the most amount of hormones. Surely those times stick in our memories (and maybe even subconscious) and take on an importance they wouldn't have if they had originally appeared in some other points in our lives??
So: is our mind playing tricks on us or do we really regret having lost out on love (or what we thought was love) so long ago?
