I started regretting not learning an instrument.

Then I realised this was dumb, bought a £20 Ukulele, signed up to classes, and am happy as a clam.

4 months in, I play twice a week with a big group. I still sound awful solo, but am amazed at how far I've come, and how much embracing something totally different has enriched many parts of my life I just didn't expect.

I'm glad you found this. For me music is one one of the more intensely personal things in my life--listening and playing.

On that same note, I already play guitar but I've always wanted to play drums. I can't buy a kit and play in my apartment, but there's no reason why I waited 5 or more years just to get a practice pad. I do at least 20 minutes of exercises almost every day and have been for almost two months now. Once I get a kit or get on one of my friends kit's, I'll be ready.

This is something I wish I had learned sooner, playing with other people is actually better the worse you are.

This is quite inspiring - a lot of us leave creativity behind in high school, kudos for sharing!
