I recently spent a week with my gf. Sure, we had to deal with some of her family, but we pretty much had a week of nothing but nonstop spending time together (not all in dirty ways >.>). We had a really good time, and I look forward to doing it again sometime in the near future.

For me it was highshool by far. But wait! Lemme explain: I was in a french boarding school where my class was composed out of 26 girls and 4 guys, me included, 1 of which was a stereotypical flamboyant homosexual. And that's just for starters.

My experiences of highschool are therefore not at all like the norm, for starters it was in the mountains in a small village, the only tv present was in the common rooms and only computers, let alone internet were both in the library. There lots of socialization going on and because we all lived together, the traditional clique division in highschool was lessed here, the geeks lived with the jocks who lived with the goths who lived with fashion afficianadoes who lived with the rappers who lived with the rich kids who lived with the poor kids(to use metaphors that most would understand).

Highschool before boarding school though... Let's just say I ended up beating up a rich kid who pushed me one too many times and got expelt for my troubles, and didn't see it as a bad thing at all. It was pure hell.

fair enough

My highschool experience was kinda reverse of that (but not really that bad)

pre boarding school I guess was pretty good, however I generally spent most of my time being pissed off, was a small rural school, so extra curricular went about as far as sport which I hated (to be fair though I was pretty lucky through the few years I managed to do some art, even theatre sports, though that was short lived, I also didnt mind woodwork and such).....but yeah sport was THE thing which I really resented, but I was popular enough anyway, and it pissed me off that no one really wanted to learn anything (brainless dicks would never SHUT THE FUCK UP during class..sorry that was my inner rage)

then culture shock go into a high class all girls private school in the city with 120 kids in my year alone (15 before) I never took advantage of the opertunitys there though..I spent too much time trying to keep my head above water so to speak, and socially made freinds but just kind of faded in to the background (and being lazy) Unfortunatley I tanked acdemically (cue indentity crisis, slight depression and prolonged dicking around even after school) it was however refreshing to see people who gave less of a crap about sport than I did

anyway it was good I went to a big school in the city, as really there was no other option..nothing for me in the hometown, and Im in a pretty good place right now and alot happyer enjoying having disposable income and (more or less) independance still got a long way to go though

Hmmm. Tough question. I have a very positive outlook on life, so even though I do get mad and ticked off and annoyed and depressed, they don't stick to me for very long. While I'm not all sunshine and rainbows (people like that creep me out and get on my nerves), I have a general blanket of contentedness that permeates my day-to-day life.

So, if you are asking which moment in my life was the happiest? I'd be hard pressed to remember any specific one.

But if you're asking what time period of my life I was happiest, it would either be childhood (when ignorance and innocence allowed me to be happy), or today (when inner peace and acceptance of others are the choices that have made me happy). I'm happy because I choose to be happy, which in my opinion is the only way to really be happy anyway. And it's not because I purposefully lie to myself that the world is better than it is, but because I accept that the world is what it is and embrace the things that make it great.

After writing all that, I just realized how Buddhist I sounded.

EDIT: Here's a quote I just made up based on my spiel, which I'm quite proud of.

"Anger, sadness, elation, and confusion are reactions, but happiness is a choice." - Me!

Learn it, live it, love it.

Great! :) That would be what I'd write, too. Thanks for spelling it out that great

The best year of my life was 1991-1992 (I was in my mid-20s). My husband was back from Desert Storm, I had a fulfilling job I loved, I lived in one of the most beautiful cities in the US. I was in remission. It was wonderful.

I have other wonderful memories (visiting Pompeii, living in Europe, New Orleans before Katrina), but that year sticks out for me.

Of course, I have high hopes for next year. I am relocating from a small town to a large city this summer and I should be all settled in to my new home and job by next year. I'm excited about the changes.

One thing I've learned is that, good or bad, circumstances will always change and the only thing anyone has control over is how they choose to react to the changes.

Holy crap it really is almost the exact reverse :O At least superficially (single sex boarding school is a completely different story to mixed sex one :p)

The school I hated was a posh school in the middle of central London attended by the offspring of the rich and famous, we had a few princes and madonna's daughter went there (i was only in cos I had a bursary). The school was so ugly and grey, it was a veritable prison packed full of people (in the times between classes the corridors would be chocked full of people, it was like fish in a tuna can).

Sports wise I was a fat kid back then so certainly didn't enjoy failling at races/marathons once-twice per week,or being the goal keeper (wtf they always gotta put the fat kid in goal? my natural reflex was to avoid the damned ball, not jump to intercept it!), or playing rugby (i know i was big, but didn't enjoy constantly being put opposite the biggest and meanest kids of the school).
In boarding school we did running too, but as I spent a great deal amount of time walking everywhere (aswell as developping a love of getting lost in the forest for hours on end) I was in far better shape so could run for longer. But running was a minuscule part, we had a good selection of team sports (volleyball, basketball, etc) and non team sports (badmington, tennis, etc) and could actually CHOOSE what we wanted to do.
Result: We all looked forward to sports class and would actually stay a bit extra when it was break time. It's not that we gave a crap about sports, it's that we found it enjoyable ^^

Otherwise also tanked academically, well never really tanked as in never really peaked. Always have been a lazy student with horrible study habits, achieving enough to pass and content with that, but never trying to aspire to get great grades, even now in uni studying a subject im interested in, I have great difficulty in actually working hard for it >< Entering my 3rd year now with the possibility of getting a good degree if I work hard, but dunno how I will pull that off, especially for my dissertation, etc...

Before that though had a really rough phase of depression and idendity crisis as you say (uber failed my first attempts at uni lets just say), and now...Well ain't happy with where I am, but things are looking better then they did 2-3 years back (i'm in my 3rd year of uni, holy fuck...I ain't even had to resit anything!) but nowhere near where I want to be, as you say, still have a long way to go ;)

Friending ya if you don't mind (no worries if you decline!)

SO there I was, standing before the toilet, urinating, when suddenly a FLY flew past my face. Still peeing, I put out my hand AND CAUGHT the bastard! Oh, such ECSTASY passed through me at that moment, a feeling of pure JOY and BADASSERY! Truly I had found my place as the ninja I was. BUT, and this is a big but, this is a Rihanna sized but, I acted totally non-chalant and threw it into the toilet. All while still peeing! I STILL TELL THAT STORY TODAY, WITH EXCESSIVE CAPS!

Nineteen. Life had been a constant stream of shit until I hit nineteen. I then made a really good friend that helped me through some bad times, and we ended up getting married. It's been 4 1/2 years or so of being together, and one year of marriage this July 18th, and I'm still a one happy S.O.B

I'm 21. The happiest moment of my life [hopefully] hasn't happened yet, otherwise, it seems like life would feel a bit empty afterwards. I have things that made me happy, even greatly so, but I've still got a lot more of those ahead of me, even better ones.

I'd have to say the first couple of years of my life.

Hurrah for not having developed emotions yet and being content with just putting random things in my mouth and playing with plastic dinosaurs.

After that I started to get down swings during my life (Usually only lasting up to a few hours)

At the moment by down swings are lasting months... *Sigh*

Hopefully the future holds some good times.

I'm a pretty big narcissist so I've never really had moments that made me feel good about myself (because I ALWAYS feel good about myself). But I guess right now, I have an awesome girlfriend I've successfully surrounded myself with friends that I trust and like and I'm doing fairly well in school.
