A Painful Taste of Regret

Hello Hive Students and Alumni, greetings to you all.
Actually, the word ‘REGRET’ is something that every human has faced at every point in life and if I were to write about the things I regret a lot, then I would most likely write a full book.
I have had countless experiences that leaves me with nothing but regret and that moment, I will eventually question everything, the why’s, the how’s the what if’s and the whole questioning would not amount to any reasonable answer.

Finally, I would just take it in that maybe, somethings are just meant to happen, somethings are just there for us to experience and somethings would definitely happen because we lacked foresight, we were not able to define the outcome from the start.

Right here, I would have love to talk about the countless things that had happen that I do regret, at home, school since my 100 level, 200 level, and this 3oo level too and everything but there would be no luxury of time to write them down here.

So, a quick one, I would just start with the one that happen just of recent, that is about a week ago though I still regret it till now. There is this course laboratory technique, the lecturer who teaches this course made me kinda loose interest in it because he comes to class and ask us to bring out our phones, laptops, tablets etc and open our chatgpt.

He would introduce the topic and ask us to ask our Ai or google the topic and all we do is to read out what we see on our phones and before you know it, we are done with the lecture for the day.

Honestly, I am not against him using chatgpt, and just like he would always say ‘‘the world is evolving and technology is advancing so we need to grow too and as medical students we need to embrace AI so we won’t be completely naïve of what would happen in future” all these are true but I still believe that as students the whole aim of going to school is to acquire and accumulate knowledge from people who are good in this field and not just some AI thing.

So I felt discouraged and I was like, after all it is still AI he would use to teach and I can conveniently do that at my comfort at home, and I will also save my time and energy to do something else too.

Personally, I don’t skip classes, but for some reason I did not see the need to attend this man’s class, we were told that his lecture would be by 10am and I told myself “there’s no point, let me just use this time to read up something else” that was the first time I ever missed his class

Guess what happened? While I was still at home trying to study I heard that he was giving test in class, omo! I rushed wore my clothes and I reached school in about 15mins but it was all wasted effort because he never allowed anyone in and out of 316 students only about 90 students were in class that day so he got annoyed and decided to give the test.

Hmmmm, even though others took it so lightly, I regretted it a lot, I felt so pained because that was the first time I ever missed classes. And at that point, I kept asking, why today of all other days? And I never had any valid excuse or explanation sha. I learnt my lesson anyways but the hard way.
