A year ago!

Describe how your life was a year ago, as much as you remember and/or care to share.

Has it gotten better? Worse?
Have you made friends? Lost friends?
Relationships?
Whateeeever you remember.

Oh God, I can't remember what happened about five days ago.

Round about my birthday last year, hm, I was probably at my friends house sleeping over, having a mutual like with them. Of course I was in school so I had to talk to them a lot, they kept me hanging on there, so we were friends. Never spoke to eachother outside of school unless it was half term or something, and that wouldn't last long.

Since then I've gone to college and met absolutely no friends whatsoever, I don't really regret choosing to leave my friends. Sixth form is a babying educational system that I don't want, and they'd distract me.

I'd probably be preparing for exams, taking crap mock tests, and then looking forward to breaking up in May, that was awesome.

I just lived my life day by day, so I didn't set myself any goals at all.

I had friends online that I have seemingly grown far apart from now, I don't think that they understand a couple of things, but I am trying to talk to them frequently. I guess it's just because the whole balance fell apart, there's no going back.

Don't regret a thing though.

Off-Topic:

When the 2008[?] Wiichat awards roll around, remember to elect ~C~ for "Best Topic Starter".

OK, now that the ass-smooching is out of the way

On-Topic:

Better! Incredibly positive family events, more business (a new funding phase for our international project)! Some things have stayed the same (but in a good way) like the +amazing+ relationship with the woman and ongoing good health!

This last year has been a blur for some reason (?)

OMFG, I almost forgot, I started my latest book-like effort just about a year ago +- a week or so! It's ongoing ,though I have zero idea about the long term completion.

Pffft, I can't remember a year ago. Eh. . . don't think anything has changed with me for a while. 2007 went fast. Hmmm. . . I wonder what I did last summer vacation, my memory is so bad I cannot remember. . .

Pshaw! It's on topic if you mention my name, sweetie. ;\\

Hmmm, going into summer of last year...still riding the coattails of she who must not be named.

Still all the same friends that I had last year...not really doing anything.

Has it gotten better? Worse?
Have you made friends? Lost friends?
Relationships? Yah.

Internet friends have pretty much stayed the same.

My grades have actually come up this year, despite my utter non-caring.

If I remember right this time last year I was at my fathers because my mother had kicked me out, I'm back at my mothers now so all that part is a bit different now, I get along a lot better with my mother now. I've been here about 5 weeks and counting.

College wise it was a lot more enjoyable last year, there were lots of people in my classes and we all got a long great. Now though nobody goes to any of the lessons and everyone is too busy stressing out over exams and that as it's our last year. We're all a lot more excited though as we're so close to finishing college.

I'm a lot more positive towards life in general now, I desperatley needed freedom and to be away from college and all my other problems. Now I'm even closer than last year it's made me a lot more positive. I'm looking for a job all the time, and as soon as I get the money I need, I'll be in a flat of my own and working full time, which is actually all I want to do for the time being.

Relationship wise, well it was hard last year having to move away from him. It put us under a lot of strain but yeah we both knew it wasn't going to affect us, yada ya. I suppose we learn more about each other, come even closer and more serious together all the time so although nothings really changed, I suppose being back closer with him and just still being with him makes it even better.

I'll stick in a bit about the family. Since last year my sister has been arrested more times than I can remember, she's on bail for three things conspiracy to supply cocaine, burgulary and armed robbery. There was a lot of stress on us all because she has two very young kids and we were all worried about what was going to happen to them. We've had two new members to the family since last year, a nephew and a brother and my fathers still in China.

A year ago I was in treament for my eating disorder, with a BMI of 14.3 xD.

I was dating this:


...Yeah, those are two things that have gotten better!

When I got out of treament, I started my job at the clothing store. I was so overwhelmed by the lack of training and concept of work.

My friends from a year ago...most of them are more into partying and drinking than they were last year. I'm still in contact with these people but I wouldn't call us especially close. We just have different interests, they're fundamentally great people though!

Since then I've started and finished a school year. Yay.

I'm worse mental health-wise than I was last year. Far worse.

...Yeah, that's about all I can think to say.

A year ago..

Well I am doing much better in school now than I was. I made some friends, lost em' then made em' back again only to not talk to them anymore at school now. That was all pretty much over the Summer, but I am starting to talk to them again now as I see them all over town and at school, its hard not to talk to them.

But I have made new friends, and I got to know some more people over the year. I also was mad at some of my friends and people at school for different reasons, but then said whats the point in hating people so I just forgot about it all.

Been here at WiiChat for a year now (well since December), and I loved you guys before and love you more now!

I am more mature as well, but I guess that comes with age.

I guess the only real difference in my life now from a year ago is the joining of this forum. That of course has resulted in meeting some great new people, but everything else it pretty much the same:

-Uni, still just getting by for the sake of it
-Wench, <-- explains it all
-Friends, still got my good ol' buddies
-Home, nothings changed really

I think that's all the aspects of my life to be honest, I don't know what else there is. I suppose my life is better now in some ways, but worse in others. Overall, as was the case a year ago, I still need freedom and direction.

Rather than defining my life a year ago, I'll share with you what has changed:

I've learned a great deal in reponsibility.
I've gotten my first job.
I take life in general more seriously.
I'm no longer fake with my friends, I just don't hang out with them.
I've learned a plethora of information in the field of health and fitness.
I've learned to appreciate education.
I've become less judgemental.
My fuse has been lengthened (even I lol'd at that).
And most importantly, I've met the best friends of my entire life.

Its been a decent year.

Well this time last year I was saving up for a wii, I had to make tough decisions with my money just to get the stuff I wanted. I was also spending way too much time at my friends house - I only go there once a week now, so that means a lot more time by myself. I'm more content to spend an evening at home, before I would go nuts if I had to stay home, but now I like it.

That's someting I can completley relate too.

I used to get SO down while my parents would be at work and I'd be on my own throughout the holidays and that. Although I think back then it was mainly because of where I lived, it was SO out of the way I couldn't just pop out to see anybody. It's why I worked all through the summer holidays last year, I figured I'd rather do ten hour shifts with no brake all day rather than gradually become depressed from sitting alone at home all day long.

A year ago was so much better for me...

All my friends were still in town, now it boils down to just about 5 of them, and two of them are leaving after summer.

I had no worries at all, now it just seems as if my life is going in a downward spiral. I don't really know what I'm gonna do in the future now, thought I did then but I was wrong. Made a lot of wrong decisions last year and regret a ton of them but hey, I had a blast doing them. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a single moment that year where I was sober other then when I was in school. I'd do anything to live that year again.

College sucks
