wrote last edited by [email protected]going through the motions of being a student in CCollege system, plus struggling. additionally found out how many people were struggling due the schools some courses were even harder than a state university, they wanted to match an IVY league level coursework, so naturally people were delayed or loss motivation to transfer to a uni, a not small but significant portion stay for more than 2+years(alot are around 4-10+years). english courses are brutal to people who arnt natural good writers,(part of the cause is people in hs arnt graduating with much proficient grammer, or essay writing to begin with), almost every course, theres usually only 1-2 naturally good writers, everyone else is expected to struggle in english course. even the lower-level english course is not very kind to students.

I have a terrible memory for what year events in the past took place.
Luckily I keep all my old resumes! So I just found out that was the year I went back to school to study music, after having dropped out of high school and working random jobs for the previous 5 years.I quit a boring office job to work part time in a comic shop at the same time as studying.
Music school was great until a minor drunken injury cause me to defer my studies until the following year.

At the end of the year, I was being made redundant for the second time. I ended up being self-employed for around a decade as there were no jobs to be had in my industry after the August 2007 credit crunch.

I was in a (very) long distance relationship at the time, and decided it was worth taking risks and making bold moves, so I moved to close the distance. We got married in 2008, and are married still, so that worked out great. I tried keeping in touch with friends, but over time our life experiences diverged to the point where we just didn't have a lot to talk about anymore, and old friendships fizzled out. I learned many things, got new jobs and made new friends, and overall life is good.
Great!
A much more wholesome story than I expected!
Sadly, some kind of tragic refugee story is much more likely nowadays... -

I was in my last year working as a loan underwriter. I was otherwise living in a way that excited me, and played into my antisocial tendencies. It was a fun time.

Fisheries patrols and exercises mostly. I was a marine mechanic in the RCN.
Ah, OK!
Language misunderstanding on my part, as apparently "sailing" in English does not exclusively refer to wind-powered means of locomotion... -
I'd finally secured a permanent, full-time job in IT at the age of 29. Then my new girlfriend, who was a charming alcoholic with borderline personality disorder, convinced me to quit and travel the world with her. Which I did. We broke up somewhere in Malaysia. I sent my 30th working on reception in a Backpacker joint in Brisbane. I regret nothing!
Now happily married, 2 kids (11 an 9) and working as an IT manager back in my hometown.
alcoholic BPD ex partner high five!

Mostly scraping by but also shopping for my next house after selling my first right before the market crashed. Worked a lot of 70+ hour weeks that year. Had 2x car accidents (neither my fault) that totaled out my cars, both of which netted me more than I had spent on the cars in the first place.

High School Junior (Grade 11) chronically depressed holding down a job with illegal hours ran by an old man who I suspect dabbled in cocaine.
A woman moved from out-of-state (country?) to date or marry him or something. They went to Vegas for a trip, while taking a shower she rifled through his wallet and saw that he was twenty years older than he told her and dumped him. He was unpleasant for a couple months.
Uhh... I had a flash card on my DS, replayed Earthbound around that time. I don't remember much about my doings around then.
