how has your year been so far?
So its late in the year and for many basilers school has started or will start soon (depending on where you live)
So id like to know (if you feel like sharing) how your year has been so far, key points, how would you rate it out of 10?
For me ive had a lot of ups and downs, but the downs always stand out more
Early on we realized we had a high deductible to pay for medical because of having to switch to way worse insurance , so most of the year things were hard because medication is expensive (my key medication is $450 a month until insurance started helping)
Then during different parts of the year I had two pets I had for half my life die (a cat early in the year and a dog within the past 2 or 3 months), we do have another dog so that helps me to not feel empty for thinking our old dog is still alive when I get home as when the dog had just died I would come home and look where the dog would usually be and just feel horrible
There was also a very rough 3 weeks when I couldn't get refills of my medication normally so I was in such a bad spot mentally, eventually I got the issues sorted out
and also most of the year I was either broke no matter what I did or I had to watch my money carefully
Now im getting ahead financially even after buying a few things and making a down payment to get braces (ive had a messed up smile half my life but never as bad as the past 3-4 years)
So id rate my year as about a 6 optimistically, things are getting good, but its not like it was easy
How about you? you can message me if you want to talk about whatever privately and I will reply when I can

4/10
This year was when my social life started to bloom and wither. I made new friends, but it's unlikely that we'll have the same classes next year since they're all math people and I'm more of a humanities person. School was... okay. I did well in all my classes but I felt something was missing, like there's a hole in my heart.
Home wasn't much better since my mom threatened to not give me money if I don't get a scholarship or major in pharmacy. My cousin and sister are calling me derogatory names and that's just lowering my self-esteem lower than it is now. Then there's my depression/anxiety coming up again and the feeling of hopelessness overwhelmed me. The only thing I feel truly happy about is my novel and nothing else - and that's not going to get me anywhere since I'm not planning on publishing it.
Ya know, it's pretty incredible to realize that literally about 30% of the thoughts I've had in the past 8 months have been about my crush. And it's probably all a waste.
3/10.
The year was pretty mediocre; as soon as I thought things were getting better, the year made a turn for the worse near the end of last school year. When school began again, I started off really rough in two of my AP classes and I'm scared of how bad my experiences in those classes might get for me.
All the programs I joined during my freshman year have been falling apart, too. My journalism adviser is on administrative leave and my former speech and debate coach was fired at the end of last year. Because of the situation, I've found myself surrounded by talk about lawyers, politics, protests, and all things activism.. To be quite honest, I'm really tired of it.
I mean, on the bright side, I've found a whole group of friends that I enjoy spending time with.. I just don't think the school year has gone off to a good start.
It hasn't been very fun.
10/10
Has great time with my friends and I love all of my teachers.
@enoch129: School is indeed a very fun place. I feel like you make your best friends there and of course, don't forget about the wonderful memories that would stay forever ingrained in your brain.
@pikacheww: Don't worry! I am sure it will be fine. Honestly, going to school actually made me happier and made me feel much more productive. On a side note, I am jealous that you found your career path or at least what you wanted to major in because I am honestly still clueless on that.
4/10 so far.
Lots of losses and general screw ups in terms of interpersonal relationships.
What started out as a fairly good year is ending up much worse now, due to forgone opportunities, and my overthinking nature.
10/10
I've had a lot of firsts (and lasts) and I haven't figured out where I'm going, but I'm getting there.
I've reunited with old friends, gotten closer to people, and crossed things off on my bucket list.
I've started to experiment with my writing and I think I might finally be able to finish a whole notebook.
I'm slowly finding my place and I'm really happy with where I am at this point in the year.
2015, I hope you continue being good to me.
I'm really glad things are looking up for you, OP!
it's been okay. had some cool moments but overall it's been dull more often than not compared to last year.
ive gained a lot of skills. Working construction, doing car mechanics, and soon I want to intern at this gym. I want my bae to brag about me.(5evr alone).
I wish I could gain a social life though.
suck
at least my grades hasn't gone to poophole
and i think i have direction somewhat
i hope i can pass all my class, get an internship and graduate soon.
+ Personal development overall
+ Driver liscense
+ First pet: tortoise
- Losing contact with people that had a big value
- Slowly losing flare in my life
- Sulking/being depressed about how better the past was
Well it seems like most of you are doing pretty decent
Lost 15 pounds, started hating on bacon because i don't know why.....
8/10 imo
So far this years been the worst, I have been getting so much internship rejections. I'm hoping for my Junior year to be better lets just see how this goes.
6/10. My mom's business had to shut down and I got fired from serving in church. But so far, it's been relaxing.
I think my year would be around a 5/10 so far. I really wanted to get a girlfriend this year but that didn't happen. I am just a shy person and I didn't make as many friends as I like to before I left high school. One positive thing is that I got a job at 17 and saved enough money to buy a desktop. I feel like over the years I have become more pessimistic instead of being a positive person. Grades were fine albeit I slacked off senior year lol. I definitely want to focus on my social life more than academic life though. All the girls I liked in high school never liked me back One thing that hurt me the most was my best friend got a girlfriend and just started talking to me less and less and we just don't talk anymore. He acts like I don't exist anymore. He left me behind I am trying to make everything better though
Honestly, my years just keep getting better and better, with me improving both academically and socially. I was probably the most insecure person in elementary school, but as I worked to change, I got much more secure and confident. I can talk comfortably to just about anybody and I am probably the most positive person I know. I get straight As and I have a bunch of friends who can share a laugh with me. Just keep working at it and good things are bound to come. Take the initiative to make new friends!
I think of my life by school years not actual years.

dont say that
0/10 still havent made it to the grave
It's been probably the most eventful year of my life.
A lot of people around me died in the past few weeks, so that kinda brought it down a lot...
No one I knew closely though, so there's that
terrible
7/10
I can't complain too much. I'm in my final semester at community college before I go to University. Probably gonna have surgery within the next month or so. Nothing too interesting has happened really. I had fun with all the art classes I took last semester. It really pushed me in a way that I've never felt before and in a good way. It made me discover things about myself and how much more learning I have to do. No women in my life yet either now that I remembered...maybe a 6.5/10
Well, my sophomore year was really a special year; both good and bad. I've become a lot more confident but I still have my insecurities. Like, I look back at my freshman self and cringe a little. I've also got a plan for my college years. I know what I want to do and where I want to go. I just hope I actually like what I plan on majoring in, haha. The 2015 year overall started kind of bad but idk, I'll rate the year when the year is over. I can't afford to jinx myself.
Pretty much identified who I am, who I'm not, and what I want (not 100%, but comfortable with being at peace with myself).
I now perceive school as a profitable source of money, social skills/community, and occupation. Before, I used to think it was just some 'necessary' hurdle to get by, in order to progress in life.
Looking forward to where God and life takes me from here.
pre ap world history lots of work on first week
