Well most guys on this forum could give 13 inches and still be fine........

if i gave more than 3 it'd turn into a vagina
 
10 years ago = 7 years old and second grade...i was prtty popular and its was fun

now 17 in university...lots of beer and partying...girls

the ignorance of second grade = partying and beer

so the fact I can go out with girls puts now ahead...but yeah i'm still missing 2 recesses and nap time
 
I was 12 ten years ago. I had shit to worry about. Around this time, I was probably worrying about the pointless test or drama presentation in a week. Now, I'm wondering if I'm going to be some deadbeat loser who works in the library of an office his whole life making less than he made in his previous, student jobs.
 
Hmm, 10 years ago I was 15. Girls didn't know I existed. I had few friends. No direction. Undiagnosed problem......


Now I'm 25 married, have a house, career, good friends......I don't see how that could be better than this.
 
10 years ago: dropped out of school, diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety, suicidal, felt like I was incapable of doing anything, no job, no property, no savings, huge student loan debt, b!tchy GF.

Now: decent job, house, easily manageable mortgage payments, no other debt, some savings, a few toys, nice GF on other side of planet, older and feeling like I'm running out of time.

You win some, you lose some. But definitely now.
 
Totally unneeded necro.
Having said that, I wish I could get the last year back, because it sucked balls worse than most other years.
30 is a bitch unless you've had massive successes.
 
Right now, still in college, 7 months away from graduation if everything goes according to plan. The Army would most certainly like everything to go according to plan. 🙂

Happier? Well, tough call. I'm very close to going into the real world (Army Reserve + civilian career sector... somewhere, doing something), so I can say I am kind of stoked for that. I've had senioritis since freshman year of school, and just been looking to get into the real world. Too much opportunity to not do anything meaningful while in college, the post-school world I'll finally have the solid and stable life I've been looking forward to oddly enough.
So very close to the happiness that I want.

10 years ago I had that happiness as a 12 year old who didn't have much care in the world and was pushed to relish in that lack of effort, and did I ever. 😀
