Hey there everyone. It’s yer favorite Ultimate Despair Allan here and I’m here to tell ya what I would do if I could do over my high school life.
Seeing as how I’m about to graduate and go to college, I thought I’d share anything I would change that happened in these past 4 years.
First and foremost, I would have participated more in my gardening club from the start if I knew how much fun it was then. I get to see my friends and help them out with plants even if I don’t quite understand some of the lingo used. I’m there to have a good time and help out in any way I can.
Second, I would go back and be brave enough to get to know people that I was interested in earlier rather than later on in my junior year. Since freshman year there were a few people I had trouble speaking to or even walking up to but today I can goof around them and just be crazy ol’ me. I still have friends that I’ve been very close to since freshman year and honestly I’m really glad I met them too.
On the topic of friends, I would avoid those who brought me into their problems without my consent and simply just go my own way as I do today.
Third thing I would change…would be to start researching video game design early on so I can get a good start later on because while my motivation and adaptability can help with anything, a little experience and some help wouldn’t hurt and would probably make the road to game design just a smidge easier.
Not to say I don’t like a good challenge. Games have always provided me with the challenge I crave so much and lately they’ve been getting better as I’ve beaten Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice 4 times and got the Platinum trophy for it. Very challenging but I never gave up and that’s the kind of challenge I want to provide for others. A game that tests you and awakens your ability to adapt to a difficult situation by thinking outside the box or simply noticing patterns after countless tries that prove fatal to the enemy.
Lastly…if I had the ability to turn back time to the beginnings of High School… I would have broken out of my shell more. The end of Junior year is when I started to realize how amazing I am as my friends and family have told me and what I observed were my own skills. Give me a writing prompt of something from a long while ago and I may take 5 minutes to figure out what it is and start thinking as I’m writing. I’m proud of who I am today and I’m really glad my close friends can see the real me. I would have opened up to these people early on because of how much love I have for them.
So yeah, there you have it. I cherish my good experiences because they remind me of such joy and laughter and I don’t regret my bad experiences because I have learned from them and matured enough to become a man I can be proud of. These are the things I would do differently if I could turn back the clock. What would you change if you had the same power? I would love to hear your answers and I plan to become more active in the summer. Thank you for taking the time to read this lengthy emotional post and I’ll see y’all next time. Ultimate Despair out!
My favorite section of the whole convention was the art section and by God was it amazing. I ran into this booth that specialized in pixel art and it was like super cool! I bought a Baby pixel from Five Nights at Freddy’s and now she sits on my computer stand reminding me to be careful since most characters I like either have pigtails or are menacing such as Baby herself. The booth even had some meme pixel art such as the caveman SpongeBob and Ugandan Knuckles.
