Where were you three years ago

[zombie711]

three years ago today I joined the escapist.
I dont exactly remember why but the reason I joined I believe was to answer a forum question. Since then I have visited the site regularly.

I was a stupid kid and I hope I have evolved from that.
The escapist Has changed plenty as well

How about you?

 

[Fappy]

I joined a little under 3 years ago myself.

3 year ago today I would have been starting my Junior year of college.

How have I evolved?

Well I got a degree and stopped dating psychopaths so that's a plus.

I joined three years ago too

It was a bad bad time where my best friend stole my boyfriend (they got married now so the jokes on them) and I failed two very important exams. But I passed both exams with flying colours a year later, dropped a lot of weight and just keep going from strength to strength.

Three years later and I've lived, loved and learned

Three years ago I was just getting home from what was probably the best vacation I'd ever been on and was about to start my first year of Engineering at university. Keeping with The Escapist theme, I think I had started visiting this site around then but I've only recently started posting.

Now I've got a couple weeks before my fourth year of university starts. I can't believe it's already my fourth year...

Three years ago. Hmm.

I was probably playing around in the Avatar Adventures RP in that time and I still am. HA!

Good times.

Three years ago I was starting my degree. Three years later I have graduated and am currently working as a scientific officer for a laboratory services company. Not bad if I say so myself.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

I was a 13-year-old with anger problems who was just beginning to realize how much he didn?t enjoy his life. Oh, and my friends used to bully me a lot.

Fast-forward three years and, while I?m wiser and have actually bothered to get some help for my problems, I?ve still got anger problems, I?ve gotten even more stressed, I have less friends, and I still don?t enjoy my life. But at least my friends don?t really bully me anymore, aside from the occasional dig at my race or ?Forever Alone? status.

Time sure flies when you?re not having fun.

I was in my second year of college,
personality wise, I was pretty much the same, except a little dumber and a little less social.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Still lurking at this site and was unemployed. I also using my old pc which was slow as hell.

 

[Nantucket_v1legacy]

I wasn't a member three years ago.
Three years ago I got my first part-time job and was entering my second year of college but doing a new course in a different institution. I met some great people there-- best time of my life to be honest.

3 years later everyone has gone to Uni and I went into full time work in the same city. Things are not bad but I do miss those past years.

Three years ago today I was about to start upper secondary school. I was at the precipice of a period in my life that would lead to significant improval of quality of life, but not before forcing me through a depression.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

Still at uni busting my ass to get my degree. Three years later, stuck in a job I hate with a useless piece of paper framed on the wall and a heap of debt -_-

 

[Lionsfan]

Three years ago I was just about to start college. In fact I think tonight I would have been going to an AC/DC concert for their Black Ice World Tour

Edit, actually the concert would have been yesterday, but it's close

 

[sextus the crazy]

3 Years ago, I only came here to watch zero Punctuation during lunch break

Also, I saw 3 years worth of site redesigns.

 

[gazumped]

Three years ago my boyfriend was in Japan after trying to convince me to let him shag Japanese girls, and while he was away I started taking an interest in another guy so my boyfriend realised he was about to lose his regular sex partner, panicked, told me he loved me and that we'd make our relationship public (which I later discovered he'd really wanted to keep secret so he could chase after other girls), and for some reason I completely believed him and was putty in his hands again.

Oh yeah, and I was preparing to begin uni. That happened.

 

[DoPo]

Funny thing is, that 3 years ago, I lived about 15 metres from where I am right now. Oh and I would have been looking for a job, just like I'm doing now. Damn, it's like nothing really changed.

 

[RipRoaringWaterfowl]

Same place I am now, only different personality, and if you asked me if I knew what The Escapist was, I'd tell you I didn't have a damn clue what it was.

But I have changed personality-wise, since two years ago I cheered up quite a bit, abandoned communism in favour of social democracy, and refined my tastes, interests, and whole worldview.

And I discovered this awesome site last year.

 

[PsychicTaco115]

Three years ago, I would have been starting my freshman year of high school...

I changed

Like a lot. I keep making jokes whenever I see photos of me like "who's that guy? That's not ME!"

So, some good some bad some neutral, as is always in life!

Three years ago today I was not myself. I was a depressed little thing who spent most of her nights crying herself to sleep. I had an issue I felt I could not resolve and it filled my mind completely. I was also losing all my friends. I was dealing with big family issues, financial issues, and a gang trying to hunt my brother down for something he did not do. Oh and I was preparing to go to university. All the while everyone relied on me to fix their problems and I rarely got to vent about my own. In the end I made the completely wrong decision and ended up with a guy who not only cheated on me, but also very obviously never gave a damn about me, however that bad decision led to me to here. I now have a second class bachelor of science degree, the most wonderful boyfriend I could ever ask for, who I will marry one day, I'm finally moving from this forsaken place that has caused me nothing but misery for 3 years and I have great friends and a great collection of games.
