I think that's exactly what they're saying - that they regret not partying and not buying that nice house.

  Fair enough, my interpretation is that he wishes he did party in college and chose not to because he thought it was best in spite of what everyone else was doing and that he regrets not buying the house simply on the basis that everyone was telling him that he should when he felt that he shouldn't. My response is simply that it's irrelevant what everyone else is doing and to not make decisions on that basis. Sometimes most people do things for good reasons and it's worth knowing those reasons and participating in the same actions. Sometimes most people do things for bad reasons and you should avoid doing them even though it will make you unpopular. Don't decide to buy a house because everyone else is doing it or not doing it, buy a house because it's a sound financial decision based on your own personal life situation. In general, focus on the reasons, not on the popularity.
