f My deepest regret on campus was not making as many
friends as possible. I only had two
friends during the first year and they were both my former classmates. My stay on
campus
was a living hell and very boring, but I did not realise I
needed many friends until I was near
graduation. So, be open to friendship, otherwise you will regret not making many
friends or
not working on developing long-lasting relationships after your graduation. (A)

Another biggest regret of mine was not having any employment history during my
university
years. I now realise that having it would be a huge advantage to get the kind of
career I
would like to have. (B) So, a combination of studying and
work shadowing will prepare you
better for the labour market.

I also regret that I didn't spend much time on my studies. (C) I feel that I missed a lot in
terms of knowledge and skills. Now I admit prioritising
parties over grades. I carried on
wasting my time instead of doing something valuable. My advice is that you shouldn't
take
education for granted because the power of knowledge is the most powerful thing you
can
obtain as a university student.
