Burst Bubble (BB) 1

There are many burst bubbles in my life- some major and most minor. Some add to my stagnating list of regrets. I wont be ambitious to say that I dun want any regrets when I die. I believe it is more realistic to say that I want to reduce the regrets as much as possible. But there is one MAJOR regret, for which i really wish i can turn back time- Not applying to the university :(((

Hope u noticed that i did not say, not making it but not applying. Yup, another classic example of stupidity by a so-called intelligent person. My entrance grades were not spectacular but they were definitely minimal enough to get in. But some stupid, totally baseless excuse of a pride stopped me from even filling up the application. And i always wonder what and how my life would have turned out if I had gotten my degree. 



The financial and academic implications are not as emphatic as my social life- would have i married the person i did? Would i even have married at all? What kind of career would i have chosen?



Those were the questions bugging me all these years but now that i am considering a career switch- I feel so handicapped without a degree. It seems that all my capabilities and talent count for nought without that piece of paper!

But i havent given up on my dream to  become a graduate. I will, ONE day! Or is it going to be another bubble burst/ dream unfulfilled til my death??? Stay tuned....
