Dealing With FIRST Withdrawal Symptoms?

If you are an alumni, how have you dealt with leaving FIRST?

I know some go out and mentor or volunteer, but that will not be a possibility for me as my school is in the middle of nowhere, in a state with only 3 teams. I still keep in contact with former team members and it's been pretty hard for me. There is a mixture of regret and longing. I sometimes feel as if I did not do enough for the team, and the regret of not joining my freshman year. I try to fill the void in my heart with other projects like my school's satellite project and the micro mouse competition. They don't quite do it for me.

FIRST has been a remarkable experience for me and I really miss it. What tops it all off is the relationships formed and the inspiration to do something much bigger is what I got out the most from the program.
