My hubby never went on a mission, and it was because of me. We had just started dating, I was not a member, did not understand the whole mission thing, I encouraged him to stay, and he did. Instead of serving an official mission, he served one from home. It was through him that I was introduced to the church. We were married a year after he baptized me. I do not have any regrets that he did not go on a mission. I would not be a member right now if he had. when we retire, we will go on a couples mission. That will be enough.
I have another friend in our ward who regrets her mission. She had the choice between marriage and a mission too. she chose a mission, ended up marrying someone else, got divorced, always wondered what her life would have been like had she not served... so there is at least one "regrets" story. see what the next few years brings. You will find reasons for where the Lord puts you.
Good luck in school!
