Default Highs & Lows of 2011 for you?

Borrowed from another forum. Strictly no willy waving, not a who can moan the most thread.




Job: Actually getting worse. New manager. Xmas holiday still unsorted. Rarely have the heating turned on.

Education: much more interesting than last year. no replies for placement year yet.

Cars: Bought my dream car. One of the best moments of my life. Wrote off my dream car. Overall, having my dream car for *some* amount of time was still better than not having it at all.

Relationship: Nah.

Health: Had a cold for 2 days as per usual. Really my biggest health issue is lack of heating at work causing a red nose & dry lips/hands.

Travels: holiday with best friends. yay.

Finances: Government now give me the minimum amount of student loan/grant possible. Job now has to fund food instead of fast cars

Anything else: Wouldn't be at all suprised if I can't make it home for xmas. Largely ruining the end of the year for me.

Overall: first 8 months get a 10/10, last few get 6/10 purely due to education being so enjoyable.

Just using your guideline:

Education: A lot like last year, just a lot more work. New friends, some I can see sticking for life.

Relationship: Nope. Yet I helped at least 5 different girls with their relationship problems.

Health: Don't really think I got sick this year. Occasional headaches though, especially today for some reason. Every time I sit or stand up too fast.

Travels: Stayed here all year...wonderful.

Anything else: Started playing guitar after years of wanting to.

Overall: Maybe like a 6.5/10

Job: Doing good. Hate when winter comes, like now because we work outside and got no god damn heater beside our issued uniform jacket similar to the Army.

Health: Have gotten sick at least 10 times this year. Gotten couple panic attacks.

Relationship: Broke up with my ex after 2 years.

Travels: Been to Indiana, Texas and Louisiana for work.

Anything else: The Colts suck ass this year. IU is 11-0. ND have a bowl game.

Job: Started the new job in September and I absolutely love it. I don't have a boss per se, I can basically set my own schedule determined by how busy we are and this is the most money I've ever earned in my life.

Education: As a result of said job, I'm learning more every day about different printers and printing methods as well as software programs and ways to create and print files effectively. This increases my value as an employee and a person too.

Cars: 2011 saw the repossession of the beloved M3. I miss it every day. I've taken to secretly flipping off every BMW owner in Seattle since the car was relinquished. My Scion however, is a year away from being paid off and that makes me very happy.

Relationship: I got my 2010 wish of having a young, hot boyfriend that loves video games and science fiction stuff as much as I do. He's a chef to boot so that leads me directly to the next bullet point.

Health: My ass is a little bigger, I'm now a size 4 instead of the usual 3 but I don't care because my self esteem is through the roof and I've never been happier.

Travels: Only thing I did this year was go back home for a weekend to see my ailing grandmother. I didn't even get to eat BBQ.

Finances: Filing for Chapter 7, but, have never saved so much money in my life. I'm content with my finances for now.

Anything else: I got some tattoo work done a few months ago, that always makes me happy.

Overall: No complaints.

Job: I could use one of these.

Education: Still in full-time education. Going well, quite difficult, but I'm enjoying it.

Cars: How many full-time students with no job can afford cars?

Relationship: Been going out with my girlfriend for a few months, all is going well.

Health: Winter is never good for my health. Constant cold, blocked nose etc. Rest of the year was fine, no problems at all.

Travels: Went to Dubai in the summer, brilliant experience.

Finances: Once again, I'm a full time student with no job, and a girlfriend, I'm skint.

Anything else: Looking forward to Christmas and New Year, should be good compared to previous years.

Overall: Pretty solid. Got a lot better recently since I went back to 6th Form and met my girlfriend.

Glad you've got so many positives out of what I'm sure was a very difficult situation.

When your finance is up you should definitely go and live somewhere with corners and buy another european car I bet the M3 suprised a lot of "I've got a massive V8" american SUV/barge/"muscle" car folk?

Not sure about where she lives, but here I actually see more Mercedes/Bentleys/BMW/etc than SUV's or muscle cars.

I'm in the very twisty turny region Washington state. The M3 was more showy in the midwest than it is up here. I see on a daily basis, Porsche, Mercedes, Lambo, Ferrari, Tesla, Lotus and a zillion BMW's. Home of Microsoft and all. I had a chance to test drive a 135i last year and my gods was it fast and responsive and perfectly sized for me. sigh.

LOL ^^^ Not a fan of the spoiler/diffuser/gutter-sized-exhaust?

I had a 182 with cup chassis. In pearlescent Black Gold. Not the bright blue one with stripes.

Education: I quit college, suddenly skyving off lessons isn't as fun...

Job: I've been promoted. Better hours, higher pay and get to stare at supervise ridiculously hot maids/cleaners every day. I only get like £8.~xx but I can't really complain; see above item: "Education"

Relationships: Had UTI + GF told me to F off after an argument over me spending too much time chatting to my lady friend in Munich. So in summary I think that I've forgotten how to have secks and my German friend happened to find a hunk of her own, so a double FU to my face right there.

Family: I have relatives over from Brazil for this month.

Finances: I now have £23K to do whatever I want with... FUCK YEAH FOCUS RS AND NEW HOME ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM.

Health: The usual, that's bad BTW.

Miscellaneous: I learned a fair amount of PC building/IT structure these last months, and I like it a lot, I may consider completing some courses on the subject and finally get the remaining of my A-levels done and maybe go for computer science @ uni.

Also, I need to find myself some clean prostitutes.

Job: never actually started working, but still got paid by the University. It really doesn't get much better.

Education: Kinda shitty and boring, but that's expected. Didn't do great on finals, esp. math. GPA is lower than I'd like as a result

Cars: Family got a new 2011 Hyundai Elantra. I don't have a car yet. Looking for a junker to scoot around campus possibly next year.

Relationship: I thought I had one, but at this point I'm tired of saying i dunno, so idgaf anymore. moving on.

Health: Pretty damn well. The whole year.

Travels: Just got back from Puerto Rico. Yummy food, yummy women.

Finances: work money goes directly to school, so all I have is about $500 in cash. Cool.

Anything else: not gonna be fun sharing my grades with the folks, nor will the dentist appt be better. But looking forward to seeing friends.

Overall: Started college, so it's been cool. I feel like maybe I need to focus more. And lose some weight. We'll see what happens.

Job 10/10
Education 7/10
Cars 8/10
Relationship 3/10
Health 10/10
Travels 10/10
Finances 4/10
Anything else 6/10

Overall 7.25/10

not bad.
