Well, thats it. I did it! I FINALLY graduated from Business School! Oh its the greatest feeling in the world isn't it? That feeling of accomplishment, of pride.
That's why I'm curious as to moments where you, my fellow Escapists, have done something your proud of or have accomplished something. It could be anything. Getting that Trophy, reading War and Peace in one sitting whatever. If it made you feel proud, than say it loud!

Congratulations - I recently won a scholarship at the post-secondary institution I'm attending because I have a really high G.P.A. (it's the second I've won this year). I was happy...

Nothing ends, Quantum. Nothing ever ends.

Now you have to work at not becoming a corporate drone. Good luck.

First of all, Congrats.

Second of all, NICE choice for the pic. When in doubt, do it thirty-five minutes ago.

Third, I feel proud when I finish a final project for a creative class.

I think I got this feeling when I graduated High School. Also, when I'm doing my online math homework, and I miraculously ace an assignment I thought I did poorly on.

2 recent ones would be topping my school in maths despite never studying, doing homework, paying attention in class and the fact I didn't have a textbook. And getting a scholarship to a school I want to go to, even though there were none available.

Dude, congratulations! I hope to be making a similar thread in 3 years time

What do you intend to do now?

my accomplishments include: A black belt in Tai Kwan Do, a piece of paper that says I can play grade 7 guitar and another that says grade 5 tuba and I have run my own small business for 4 years

I made a 6-foot long drift boat out of mild steel in honor of my Dad's passing. Proudest I've ever been of any object, ever.

CONGRATULATIONS! Fantastic news :) very happy for you!

As for me, probably some of the following:

1) Passing uni with a First (yay!)
2) My dissertation becoming recommended reading text (woooo!)
3) My first cake baking attempt came out perfectly - nom nom nom
4) And probs some random game achievements that make me feel really proud about myself...

There's others but they seem really little and pathetic when I wrote them down so I deleted them. Just realise I am easily amuse so I put the most amazing ones above haha.

Congratulations! Now the real nightmare begins.

And sticking to the question about major life acheivments, around age 16 i realized that taking things too seriously was only making me become needlessly stressed out. It didn't help that i was already 6' 3" by that age, but i looked like i was in my late 30s at that time due to sleep deprivation. At that point, i quit giving a shit. I didn't care about what my grades were, i simply treated myself to a hot dog with pickled onions, mustard, and Tabasco whenever i got all my homework for the week in, took up gaming, and discovered George Carlin. I learned to live life based on my own standards and set my own goals, and i finally grew the balls to tell my parents "Fuck you and your bible too, my morals and my creed are of my own design and if God wants to claim credit he can sue me!"
And truth be told it actually worked out. I quit struggling in school and actually got better grades when i simply was content with finishing the work, i even got into a decent college and am now a doctor with a dog and a girlfriend and a gay neighbor who never leaves me the fuck alone but who gives me video games as presents so that i don't sue him for harassment.
Life is good because i gave up 12 years ago. I quit caring. That was my major achievement, that was what allowed me to realize my potential.

I felt proud when I finished a course of individual and group therapy to gain control of my bipolar disorder. I went in suicidal, broke and out of a job, I left engaged, working and knowledgable about my condition.

Honestly, I don't think anything else I've done even halfway measured up to that.

I have been quite proud of quite a few things, only to move on to that next step and find that the thing I was proud of was really nothing at all to anyone else around me. Such is my life. I think I'm doing something great to learn later that it was nothing great at all.

...great, I'm depressed again now. That's not the purpose of this thread! Sorry, OP.
