I graduated from college with no ambition or motivation. This is OK because I couldn't find a job even if I tried harder. I had a single interview that went well, so here's hoping for 2010.

I spent a lot of time fucked up at the end of my college days, having suffered a bad breakup towards the end of the previous year. Since recovering from this antisocial and self-destructive behavior I have made no progress with social skills or getting out and doing things.

I moved back in with my parents because I have no job.

I'm no longer playing sports that I did at school, and I don't feel motivated to do much of anything. This means I'm way out of shape now.

Not a particularly solid year.

realized my relationship after 3,5 years was just shit and my gf a dumb whore and i was being blind.
-> smoked too much weed.
-> became a basement dweller.
-> dropped out of college.
-> fucked up the relationship to my parents.
-> stopped smoking weed.
-> took care about myself again.
-> got into another college.
-> slowly getting my shit together and managing to actually study.
-> starting to learn how to deal with women again after being full of hate for about half a year.
-> started being happy again during the last few weeks of 09.

all in all, prolly the most fucked up year in my whole life. but 2010s gonna be the shit and i know it.

It's so easy to cruise through your first year of university doing no work or studying, but second year will fucking own you.

if you take noob courses in 2nd year there might not be a big difference but if you take the hardest ones you can then yea, 4 page essays turn into 15 page research papers

First of all: Thanks OP! I really really like this thread idea, and even though there is the occasional spam, the replies to it have been interesting and heartening! I can't believe I missed it first time around.
Anyway:

I accomplished...

* I quit WoW
* I got myself perhaps the first long time male friend in 5 years
* I fucked up a girl's crush on me
* I started highschool
* I wrote my first blog, and I really thought it turned out well, even if there were so few people replying to it!
* I joined TeamLiquid (Question is if I'll ever get out of these claws again >.> )
* I got a girlfriend (Which I lost again.)
* I started working out every second day, and thereby gained 5 kilograms (~ten pounds)

I realised...
* A lot, yet nothing about girls
* It takes a special person to be able to talk to me 1 on 1.. Fuck my social skills
* Quitting an MMORPG does not make you any happier or social.
* How to solve a rubik's 3x3x3 cube (Thanks Cube! See you in the BETA)
* That friends don't come by every day. Sticking with the good ones are the way to go for me, because there don't come around that many of them..
* What "apathy" means and learned to appreciate that I don't behave like that
* a lot about psychology and philosophy on a theoretical level.

Can't get any more true than this.

I learned that while liberal arts majors have tons of fun in college, they cant find jobs afterwards, making the universe balance itself out. Go engineering kids

+ Photographed over 60 gamers in individual photo shoots.
+ Completed or began several projects for TL.net.
+ Photographed over 100 individual e-sporting events.
+ Visited Japan for the third time. (and spent all my money again.)
+ Taken up several new crafting hobbies (back to sewing, chocolate making and whipple etc.)
+ Completed several of the drama series I wanted to watch.

I guess I've learned to know my limits and stop pushing myself to the point where my body gives out. I've also begun to learn not to take what people say to heart *too* much, but it's difficult not to.

I learned how to stop bragging about my accomplishments and that there so much more to live than some stupid shit like that.

Just because you have low self esteem doesn't mean that this thread is a bad idea. Communicating what you are happy about is a very healthy thing to do.

The topic just seemed pointless. Do you really need to compare sizes on the internet?

1) Wrote a good number of short stories and poems
2) Got a little better at SC
3) Met a totally awesome girl! ^_^
4) Decided I want to be a teacher
5) Won my first Magic The Gathering tournament (it was legacy)
6) Invented Gisby, the most awesome game ever.

Could have been a better year, more writing and less SC probably would have helped, but I think I did alright.

I learned that there's nothing more to life than spamming TL threads with stupid denigrating posts.

There's so much more to life than all the good and positive stuff that happens in it. Haha. You're right about that but I don't think a single person who has replied has really bragged. As I said in the OP i think it's a good way to focus on some of the GOOD stuff that has happened to us. I hope next year you come back and realize you're just being a negative nancy.
