For me: - Got a job that I love with good pay. - Learned I can love again even after loss. - Finally met TLers at my first LAN - Found out rap isn't as bad as I thought it was. - 2000 worthless posts. - More than one way to cross the cliff. - Went from D- Zerg player to D Terran player. 2009 was pretty slow for me. A lot better than 2008 though. What about you? | ||

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

Oh my god this is what's happening to me!!! My list: - Learned a LOT more about girls and life. - Got into a suitable university. - Got to 2k post on TL by doing nothing. The last 7 years have been kinda sucky, in 2010 I'll start brand new! edit: 2222th post! | ||

This is actually , I believe , one of the most profound and important discoveries for humanity, as it lets the individual to master the differing skill and to deduce truth - or at least deduce the lack of information needed to deduce it, instead of making false assumptions - in any situation , related to anything . I believe I received help through non-traditional means but anyways .... too bad I cannot publish it and even if I ever will, I most propably won`t do it by my real name . Good to at least post a shell of it here. AH and : Almost totally cured myself from OCD , in addition learned what exactly causes it and how to fix it in a rather short time , without lying to oneself as it is required in the exposing-behavioral teraphy, in a way that is not only coherent to oneself`s sense of truth but also helps to learn about it and learn a lot about human instrument with its emotional and belief systems. This is a discovery too, as there was no 'cure' for OCD , more or less just methods which psychology tried to use as equivalents of cure. Also learned ways to learn school stuff like 2-3 times faster and memorize it all almost perfectly, without even trying too much. Its just ways to learn, anyone can do it. | ||

I can get 800 on quant GRE with less than 1 hour of prep. I suck at verbal even though I studied for months. San Francisco is an awesome city with great people and great food. Statement of Purpose is a bitch to write. Accomplishments: Made over $30,000 in four months. Met some really cool people and became good friends with them. Received three full-time offers (more interviews to come in the next year) from companies in New York City, San Francisco and Seattle. Went to the gym three times a week for majority of the weeks in 2009 (I'm actually really really really proud of this )Finally began volunteering at a local high school, something I wanted to do since 2007. | ||

I've managed to fuck up every other aspect of my life though, so I can't really say that this has been a good year =/ Edit: as for stuff I learned. I've finally learned (or trained myself since I already "learned" this technically) not to procrasitinate so much. | ||

I also learned that a lot of things in life are illusions, and won't really make it what you think they will, a lot of evil things in this world, a lot of lies. Most of all I learned that in order to change something, don't look towards other people to change, and don't procrastinate. Work with the system not against it. edit: and that minds can work in mysterious ways | ||

2. Gonna be a long time till I get a girlfriend. 3. Gonna like the same girl for a long time still probably, like her all last year and still like her, no reason for it either, I'm like that with crushes :\ 4. Even though I'm average height for my age and pretty damn scrawny my violence gives me a superiority in my group of friends. To sum it up I learned I'm pathetic, TL ROCKS!!!, and that just because I'm weak doesn't mean I can be taken advantage of, bitch. | ||

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. | ||

-> 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. | ||

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. | ||

+ 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. | ||

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

Other than that... Predictions: Hopefully will get a novel completed, rather than get it to 40k words and decide its crap, regardless of what anyone else says (happened 4 times in 09 )Will probably get B on iccup if I don't quit the game. Will continue to cruise through university. Will cook more. | ||

I know it's cliche, but "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do" - I was a dumb ass for not doing anything really for my first 2 years in high school, and now that I'm a senior I sorely regret not taking up any of the wonderful experiences high school has to offer. I've also learned that I shouldn't really be a shy person, since there are so many interesting people in the world to meet and talk with. I've realized that to enjoy life, you sometimes have to go out of your comfort zone and try out new things and meet new people. Hopefully this will serve me well in college come fall... | ||
