i didn't fail my first year of university, and had a good start to the second year. me and my girlfriend have stayed together for another year. i moved jobs, which was a huge improvement and i now don't actually want to kill myself every time i'm at work. overall, wasn't a bad year.
Not a bad year, all in all. There was the bad stuff, of course - brother's drug problem flaring up again, grandpa dying... but for me it's kinda offset by the fact that I'm doing exceedingly well at uni and that I managed to lose over 100 pounds and meet a nice girl. Lots more stuff in either column, obviously, but those are the biggies.
The Good
-Graduated from highschool
-Going to my #1 pick of College
-Getting to go to college out of state
-Still dating the same girl over a year later
The Bad
-Going to college out of state(yeah its in both deal with it)
-Holy god terrible college profs
-losing sleep..... actually nevermind this is expected
Overall
Pretty good in my opinion. Getting out of highschool and going to my number one pick of college basically made my year. I've had various bumps in the road and maintaining a long distance relationship is arguably one of the most difficult things I've ever done but every time I come home I realize its worth it.

There was a lot of really good music put out this year and I've successfully staved off death for another year on the positive front. On the negative...I don't really want to think about it and I seriously doubt you want to hear it. >.> Still don't have a job, that much I will say and seriously need to work on.
The good? I got a hell load better at Chess and knowing the insides of a computer. The bad? One of the only females who knew me well moved. :-(
I do hope to go meet her someday.
Other than that, 2012 was just another year in the passing. At least I'm not dead.

Pros:
Great games like the Walking Dead and Journey are released.
Had two great semesters in college and a nice relaxing summer.
Cons:
Mass Effect 3's ending being a complete sack of shit and pretty much tainting the entire franchise with a sense of "What's the use replaying the games, if they all lead towards the 3 endings that, extended cut or not, still pay no heed to the choices you make?"

Consider yourself fortunate. Have a proper look up on her.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
She's an arrogant, self centered *****.
Kind of like how Kirsten Dunst went. She was a young actress and thinks, because she got a few good roles, she's far better than she actually is.
Go for Natalie Portman, rescue her from shitty love scenes with god awful actors.
The good:
Met an awesome girl who I breifly dated
Learned how to program
Made a lot of money
The bad:
Got backstabbed by 2 people

I expected this thread to be a shitty one, but holy shit, I really like your guy's stories.
Pros-
Did the first two meaningful things in my entire life.
Discovered an unnecessary amount about myself.
Overcame a number of my fears, largely to do with other people.
Wrote a fucking book.
Got a drivers license, fell in love with driving.
Voted
Spec Ops the line, Hotline: Miami, DOTA 2, Black Mesa, Max Payne 3, Avengers, Nicholas Winding Refn and Steve McQueen getting big budgets.
Bad-
Aunt got cancer
Book mostly shit
Realized I honestly dislike most other people
Still looked down upon by most of my family
Didn't find god
Overall-
Careful optimism, like most of the other guys here 2011 was a really bad year. Hit my lowest point new years eve last year and recovering from there.
I may have met my first girl, but even with that I'm cautious, I have no idea what 2013 has for em but it may top every other year of my life.
YOu guys have no idea how much better your stories have made me feel. Best of luck to everyone n the new year and hold out, things will get better.

I'll do a reverse.
THE BAD:
-Treatment of a family illness was delayed by lots of red tape and looking for "alternative causes" because no doctor wanted to look the likely cause in the face...
-I got very few new games this year...
-I got fatter...
-I had the worst boss ever...
-Family tensions have gotten significantly more tense...
-Work cut a whole bunch of hours on me...
THE GOOD:
-...but we finally got treatment lined up!
-...but the two I got, FTL and XCOM, are both magnificent!
-...but I also got stronger and healthier somehow!
-...but he got fired spectacularly and now the manager is more manageable!
-...but I've figured out how to reduce the familial tensions!
-...but they then called me and offered them back, piece by piece, and then some!
THE TERRIBLE:
-I finally sat down and crunched my budget.
...
THE GREAT:
-I blew through this semester with a 3.7 GPA. That's an A-. I would have been delighted with a B.
-I got admitted to the "How To Find A Real Job This Summer, Here, Let Me Help You" course at tech school!
OVERALL:
I'm greatly pleased, most of the bad was negated as the year progressed.
PROJECTION:
Budget + Same low-paying suckish job until summer + can only work weekends = Ohhhhhh noooooooooo...

The Good:
I've finally begun typing out the book I've been conceptualizing for the past two years.
Played some really excellent games.
Still occasionally have fun-times with my on-again off-again ex-girlfriend.
Started chatting with all the bros in the Brovengers.
Finally got a new amp so I can play my electric guitar again.
Game Grumps began!
The Bad:
Still occasionally have fun-times with my on-again off-again ex-girlfriend.
Had to get glasses.
Was in a terrible relationship with a girl who constantly cheated on me.
Shattered my nostalgia-goggles on Sonic Adventure 2.
The forum cycles that this website goes through.
The Ugly:
I'm not sure, I just had to make the reference.
Overall:
I've had worse years. Better, too, but nothing to really complain about.

It's been....a rocky year. On the one hand I finally seemed to have got a stable job for a while, on the other hand, my private life took a rather nasty hit, and having seen it coming didn't really soften the impact.
Oh yeah and I started playing chess again. And thanks to my job, I now understand the rules of gridiron football and baseball (baseball is actually rather neat). And, well, huh, I turned 30. Round number. Scary. Another decade of my life is over, gone for good.
All in all, the year went by rather fast. Every next year is goes by faster...
