Even if they don't say it, you can tell they regret not trying.
If you're this way now, you'll prob look back the rest of your life. Food for thought.

Thanks
The thing with me is that there is too many things that I want to do. As long as I'm not sitting in an office or dealing with stupid bullpoop, I'm happy. I've been in many miserable situations, but 99% of them I didn't even notice I was in a miserable situation. I automatically make the best of any situation. If stress catches up and I get overwhelmed, I may get a little anxiety attack, but the next day I forget all about it. I'm also not one to regret anything or look back too much.
So I don't know what's gonna happen. I want to at least serve 4 years just to have the satisfaction that I did it, but I also really love my field of study and wanna get my Phd asap.
At this point I'm going with the flow. I graduate in June, so something is gonna happen. I tend to make the best decision on an impulse anyway. if I think too much about it, I second guess myself.
All I'm certain of that I'm drawn to things that most people avoid, and that one of my best traits and worst flaws is that if you say I can't, I will die trying to prove to myself (and myself only because I don't really care what others think of me) that not only I can, but that I will.
I'm glad I went to college first though. If I do join, I'll be better off because I'm older and more mature. And smarter. And I'll have more options.
