    What do you guys regret?

    Recent Regret: Choosing between studying for English Advanced or Chemistry for the HalfYearlies as they were on the same day with a 15 min interval between the two! O.O Half-yearlies were moved forward by 2 weeks, and we were only notified 5 days before the exams!!
