I don't make mistakes, I'm perfect...ha just kidding.
One of the more recent mistakes I made was believing I lost one of my text books, because it was so small it was either on the very bottom of my backpack or inside my book. I made a big deal about losing it, and when I figured out it was just in my backpack, I was so embarrassed that I pretended that the lost and found had it, so that I could hide my shame. Not the best way to handle a misunderstanding... But no one got hurt, and I didn't needlessly buy another text book.

A pretty big mistake I made was going to college and focusing completely on my schoolwork. I was overwhelmed with homework and convinced myself that my grades would suffer if I did anything fun like hang out with my friends once in awhile. I ended up with a lot of broken friendships, and I realized toward the end of my first year that I really needed people. I may not be the most social person in the world, but my friends keep me from driving myself crazy. So I made my friends a priority again. A little bit of a stranger at first, I was eventually accepted back into the group. I'm still in school, but I'm not letting them go again.
I know I make a lot of mistakes, that's for sure. The biggest one that comes to mind is something I did in my freshman year. A friend and I had been having some problems- she had been making me a little uncomfortable with how posessive and physical she had been getting, but instead of talking it out with her, I ended up just telling her that we couldn't be as good of friends anymore. I know that that was extremely stupid of me, and though we do talk a lot and laugh together now, I still feel some of the lingering awkwardness between us and I know things will never be the same. I wish they were.
I once put the wrong soup in the dishwasher, and the whole thing started spilling bubbles all over the kitchen floor. Since I couldn't really go back and undo my actions, I helped them clean it up. Fortunately we laugh about it now.
Random#Generator chose KJ for this one! Sending your book on to Marysville c/o Laura.
