I regret the past three years at University

I'm doing a very intensive course (engineering related) and upon a prolonged session of reflecting on how the past three years have gone. I have realised that I have blown it, or atleast, I have been forced to blow it and not really enjoy it. Anyone else feel this way? I am not really a part of clubbing sort of person so house parties and clubs didn't appeal so me and so I didn't realise socialise as much as the rest. This coupled with the fact that I was consistently being raped by work from my course meant that I've had a pretty poor uni experience and don't have any great fond memories to look back to when I go into the world of employment. I don't have many photos either that I could show my future family or partners or whatever. My advice to anyone starting uni next year, or who is in their first year: don't hold back - enjoy it. Join societies. Have a laugh. Even if it means doing something you don't naturally like doing i.e. drinking or clubbing, at least do it a few times with people who you enjoy spending time with. Play an instrument? Join a band and the live music society! Fancy photography? Then join the photography society. Try new things. Try dancing, singing, whatever, just do it! Just get off your arse and make the most while you're here, otherwise you'll end up a lonely, regretful old sod like me who'll have nothing to look back to!
