Seniors sound off about their regrets

This week Pulse reporters asked various high school seniors, "What is your biggest regret about your high school experience?"

"I regret not starting a food fight in the cafeteria." -- Emma Spence, Riverton High School

"There were a couple of classes I wish I would've taken. I guess I would've tried to branch my interests out a little more. I think I would've used my class time more wisely to get involved in different activities." -- Jesse Ward, Murray High School

"My biggest regret as a senior is not trying out for choir before my senior year." -- Chystalin Wilson, Riverton

"Not being as involved, not going to more sports things. I wish I was more involved." -- Sarah Johnson, Bingham High School

" ... taking stupid AP classes!" -- Anna Rogers, Riverton

"I wish I would've done some more concurrent enrollment and AP classes. I probably would've saved a lot of money for college that way." -- Spencer Critchett, Murray

"That I took as many hard classes as I did. I got caught in this overachieving circle." -- Spencer Merrick, Bingham

"Not getting my associate degree and going through all that extra work just to get the first year of college out of the way and done with. I had a great opportunity to do that and didn't take advantage of it." -- Amanda Anderson, Murray
