You have one life. You are not necessarily meant to spend every waking moment doing something productive. Humans are not machines. We are complex beings with feelings, hopes, and fears. As long as playing World of Warcraft didn't cause your grades to slip in school, your graduation to be delayed, your personal relationships to falter, or your life goals to be delayed, then there is nothing to regret. You played a game because it brought you happiness, joy, entertainment. You did the thing you wanted, even if it didn't help further any of your long term life goals. The game brought you something positive in the moment. Given the resources at your disposal and your limited knowledge of the world at the time, you did the right thing for yourself. Don't beat yourself up. There will be plenty of time to take care of the important things when you get there. You have one life, and even more importantly, one youth. What's more typical than a 14 yo playing WoW? You shared a positive experience with millions of other people your age.
