As 2010 finally comes to a close I'd like to take a few moments to reflect on my time in WG and life in general, and please feel free to do so in this post as well.

Reflection: Throughout my 19 years of life I've always been bullied,threatened and I've even been stabbed twice.
Until 2008 rolled in and at the time I was in love with a girl named Jessica and at one point she added stress to my already fragile tolerance at the time and I snapped and lost my shit at her..And we ultimately broke up...and it wasn't until a year after that I found WG and I may not have realized it but the community here has helped me learn to cope with stress a lot better, taught me to talk about my problems instead of flipping out.
This year in WG has been amazing for me and a wonderful learning experience, thank you.

Resolution: Well, I don't really know what want to change about myself as 2011 progresses but I can promise I will at least try to hit 110 cmb for WG and be the best guy I can to my friends IRL I guess...

Respectful post.

I myself joined WG in June/July i believe, not sure which. But I'm really glad i did. The fact that this place operates on 3 different Time-zones is awesome for me cause i know i can help so much more than i used to.

IRL, I had my first year of important exams that would determine my future and I'm pretty happy about how I've done, (even though i can't read my results yet). Did my best and I'm happy with that.

As for my resolution. I'm gonna try and get out more, I miss alot of celebrations as it is. Going out probably once a month. And I'm taking on board the 100 push-up challenge.

I've had a pretty fun year, left school, went to college for one day, gave up. Haven't left the house since other than for Christmas, the dentist and probably some other things I've forgotten about. During that time I quit Sabres to join WG and I'm really happy I did, not saying anything bad about Sabres just that I've made more friends here than I ever did in Sabres and the fact that I can hop onto teamspeak at any hour of any day and always find someone to talk to, it's brilliant.

Resolution: Make good events.

This year in WG has been the chillest of all my 4 years. Made some really good friends and just decided to go to as many events as possible and have fun with it.

Irl... Graduated high school, went to college, almost got kicked out of college. Missed a few opportunities but that's life.

Resolution... I really want to find a new hobby. Thinking about the guitar or something musical.

Since the start of 2010 i have wanted to quitt school and do something else with my life. I've never been good at school. I've never had A's or B's in my life. I pretty much fail at anything i do when it comes to school. But i've managed it to highschool 2 year somehow. 2010? I would say it has been a successful year. Made a lot of new friends, got my drivers license, a dog(!) and a lot of other st00f neko2.gif

Resolution: Finding the courage to tell my parents that I want to quitt school. Live life. Do something that i really want too like travelling around the world after some time. Become a Paramedic, help sick people is something i really want to.
Meet new people and do sports smile.gif
and yeeah, get a sixpack!!

DO A LOT OF CRAZY STUFF!

Shiiiit.

Uhm, Passed my first semester of University, pretty much failed all of my classes in the second because I was too lazy to study. Got rejected for Paramedics due to failing my second sememster of biomedical sciences. Quit my job. Now deciding if I want to become a Vet or a Nurse or still try for paramedics. Got my license in March. Joined WG in July. Had a great time in Queensland with Aussie unit. It was a good year on some parts and a bad year too XD

Serious post is serious.

This year has been mental for me. Started off unemployed, poor and lonely. Went back to college and got my Fitness Instructor qualifications, was a qualified Personal Trainer by September, and working as a PT in a Gym by October. So I'm now working a job I love, about to enter the busiest time of the year for me, and I'm not gonna let it pass me by, I'm going head on into this, because it's gonna shape my career for the next few years depending on how successful I am here. Also, I'm ripped.

Resolution: Leave no words unspoken, save regrets for the broken. Basically, not be afraid to say what I feel, keeping nothing inside, and basically, forge myself into an Alpha Male. Also, stay ripped.

Well, 2010....

Finally decided to give uni the attention it deserved and really it got the results I want/earned/deserved/could have had if I tried earlier (insert whichever as appropriate) so I'm fairly satisfied that the time I put in took me from a B average to A's, it was worth it after all.

Earthquakes made life a little interesting for the latter half of the year but I think I have got through them fine, and all going well they won't be a big issue next year.

Health has been its usual bitch, but that's life, nothing I can do about it now....

2011? Basically I want to get out even more than I have this year, make the most of my last year of uni (at least until I do masters). I want to try and keep my grades above what they have been this year, despite doing papers that I will no doubt find abysmally boring.

2010 was pretty exciting especially with all the updates and/or expected updates.

it also has been a lot of learning as i go type of year with many challenges that go from the ordinary month to month responsibility as well as insane tribulations of sorts that if i went in detail would make up a whole page.

the biggest thought in 2010 where the understanding of where i stand now compared to a few years from now. i don't know my purpose compared to relationships with people but I have a commitment to myself as a defeated perfectionist to excel.

with that said, runescape has been a fun ride but it's over for me as a runescape player. as for a merchanter i'm not done yet and as i'm expected to provide results of my potential. my happiest moment was not reaching my goals but the challenges that came with it. i feel confident that no matter the challenge as long as i have my way then anything is possible. 2011 is the year that I become more motivated to strive and pursue growth in merchanting.

real life though it has been a different matter. my job has finally realized the kind of asset they hold i've also realized that's not where i want to be. I know for a fact that the rest of my life will be filled with endless hours of work and play. as for the purpose, it would be to exercise growth to fulfill my heart desires. I also need to be vigilant of my choices as well as an apprentice with how i relate to the world. I look forward to the dialogue ahead as everything that has been accomplish is history and I must develop and create the next step in life.

2011 i will become a merchanter not only in rs but also in real life. i will develop work that i can call my own. i will work towards understanding myself. I will request the assistance of others and provide it freely.


HAPPY NEW YEARS! BEST OF BLESSINGS! =D

2010 has been pretty interesting.

Started off in the middle of my first year at college (university). Did average for not really studying and basically having fun. Finally got really into the marching band and made most of my friends.

Second year of uni started in Sept and the first quarter went decent in some regards and not so decent in others. I failed Math but passed other classes, but was close to being on Academic Probation. This is the worst I've ever done in school.

I realized I didn't want to become a doctor, so now I'm not sure what I want to do after university but am still pursuing a degree in economics and possibly philosophy as well.

But in October I started a relationship with the girl that I was crazy about and that's made the entire year worth it.

So 2010 rocked and 2011 will only be better I assume.

2010 started out a very rough year for me. By end of June I had been in the hospital many times overnight and had 4 operations. The pain meds were good. Some of you on TS may remember me being a bit crazy lol.

I had a close family member die and I have taken that hard this year.

I've been above the line of sadness. Realizing that tomorrow always brings me a new chance to have a great life. I laugh often, smile always and bounce back from my difficult times.

I almost left WG this year over some drama stuff. I love you guys and I couldn't leave with all the people that supported me and helped me through any tough time I had. Thanks to all my friends, but special thanks goes to the one that I had the problems with. It was a learning experience and I think we are both better from it.

Vephyrus, I don't know what I'd do with out such a great friend as you. It was pretty amazing to be in council together.

Moose, I love love love my new sword. OMG OMG I love it. Thanks thanks thanks. hehehe

Thank you Garrett and Dallar.

Uhm.. Graduated highschool, joined the navy and graduated.. That must be the most important achievements in 2010.

Other than that.. I got to see Brother Ali live last summer. Gotta be the most magical moment - Not only last summer but also in life!

I made enough money to buy myself my dream camera (Canon EOS500D), my dream-tv and home cinema and my laptop.

My goal next year: Build the most insane gaming rig ever imaginable.

Very nice topic.
There's some really deep stuff in here that put a smile on my face.

I'm not sure how my 2010 was. As a composer, I let myself down. It was a slow year for me and I feel like I'm still far from my goals. It was a lazy year. Sure I travelled overseas 3 times and interstate once. That was awesome. I met WG twice. I just don't feel like I accomplished much compared to other years.

I need to get focused and set down a strict regime for myself. I have goals but I'm not finding ways to meet them.

i can infer with those goals. becareful about earning more money.

in rs i noticed the more gp i made. the stronger the hit and it has come to a point that I need to constantly remind myself it's just pixels.

I bet the same effect happens in real life, people get more money and then do not manage their assets and end up needing more hits to have a great life. which i have no idea but money is definitely always a plus. laugh.gif
