Is it normal to regret high school?

All the way through high school I studied and worked hard. By the end of my senior year, I got into a really good engineering school, but I have practically no friends. I always liked one girl from grade 10 onwards, and I'm sure she liked me too. However, we never really dated because I always had the excuse that I had work to do (which I did). I still like her, but after all the garbage she had to put up with, I'm sure she doesn’t want to talk anymore. As well, I never told her how I felt about her which hurts me, and I do not feel I can. I've tried to move on for a year now with no avail. Now I'm in university and I'm still working harder than ever because now I don’t want to waste my own or my parent’s money. As a result, I don’t really talk to people. I do want to socialize, but I cannot waste time when I could be working. Honestly, I have no idea what to do. I'm trying to enjoy life, but I can’t be a failure for my parents.
This is my first is it normal post so its not very good, but I need to say all this because it is killing me inside.
In short, is it normal to regret trying really hard without really enjoying the company of others?

    Maybe you're just recalling her fondly because she's safe and familiar. There are lots of girls put there - you need some companionship to share your sucess and failures - get out there and live your life but keep up the grades kid! You're only young once!

    Freget high school live now keep in school but take some time for you. We aren't living in the dark age she could have come to you to. Give yourself a break and breath ask her out if she says well you tried.

    Your lucky, don't regret it...MANY people enjoy hs and end up with no future after hs because they never worked hard and too busy socializing at the mall.
    HS is nothing but fake people

    Dude, you will be much happier that you worked hard and are in a position to have a good, high paying job but you do need some balance in your life. Have some fun and lighten up, don't put so much pressure on yourself. Keep your grades up but reward yourself with some "me time". Hang out with friends, get a girlfriend, whatever. Your hard work will pay off one day and you'll be glad you hung in there.

    You should never regret. Period. Talk to the girl and let her know how you feel. Relax a little and enjoy yourself. Life unfortunatly is short.
