If you could relive one year of your life.

rebel10

Was talking to a group of friends lately and this was discussed. Most said they would love to go back to when they were 17, 5th yr,just getting into clubs and havin sneaky drinks in my room before turning up to a pub with a fake i.d.
Mine would be when i was 19. Would do anything to go back. 1st yr in college, a whole summer spent in Greece where we did nothing but drank into the morning and then managed to work in crappy waitressing jobs for 10 hours before the drinking started again. Only manageable when young!:)
Oh to be 19 again....
What year would you choose and why?

2005 when I was 20.

Second year of college so was nicely settled but zero pressure of finals and I spent four months in Chicago getting paid to play GAA (which funded a trip to Vegas).

Unbeatable.

23
Just out of college and I spent 2 months volunteering with a wildlife foundation in Namibia.
Best 2 months I will probably ever have and it changed my life for the better.

Junior Cert year. What a laugh. Fancied this girl and this realised she fancied me back. The circle of friends I had at that time just clicked so well and our personalities when around each other just made every day fun. Ah, memories.






(In a less romantic note, that girl now has three kids by three different fathers. Should of been me. )

Sceptical hat is on. Thats sounds like a pretty good deal.

I'd redo my masters year, when I met a lot of interesting people.

When I was 0.

Why sceptical? A lot of young lads head out there for the summer, including intercounty players whose counties get knocked out of the Championship early.

You get free accomodation (the clubs own houses) and you get a cheque at the end of the summer based on how good you are.

Each club is like a little community that fundraises and gets business sponsorships to be able to pay the players.

Hope you claimed expenses too .

Says a lot when players can get paid in other countries but not here.

'98

16 turning 17. 5th year in school. Spending the summer days playing playstation and football and the nights getting twisted! Started heading to the local pubs in big groups. Fake id's. Getting drunk after 3 pints and a sniff of whiskey.
The benefits of childhood and adulthood with none of the drawbacks. Great.

Sounds great. I misinterpreted that and thought you meant as a salaried position.

I would relive the year between September 2009 and September 2010. I'd make sure not to fcuk up college by getting help earlier than I did. I'd also make sure not to get beaten up and robbed in January.

Also, I'd get to relive trips to London, Geneva and Electric Picnic. And relive a very special moment in June where my life began to change for the better.

2007.

Just seemed a great year for me, my circle of friends was a lot more close than it is now

2006.

I wouldn't have started my M.Phil degree and instead would have entered the work force when there were actually jobs around the place. Instead I finished last year and have been pissing about in part time retail since. Fcuk You Biffo.

Gunsfortoys

2003. Gave up a job to finish college. Waste of time. Hell of a year though.

Isnt part-time retail the natural career path after a philosophy degree though!

Eh...stick "M.Phil degree" into wikipedia....;)

coffee_cake

Maybe when I was 16-17... 2nd-3rd year uni, no stress of finals and having fun.
Honestly though there isn't a particular year I would like to go back to, I like things as they are

Pubic hair appeared or masturbation discovered? Or was it to do with XBOX live?

1958. Happy times.

It would have to be 1969 for me. I was young and restless, just killin' time. I spent my evenin's down at the drive in. That was the summer when I got my first real six-string. Bought it at the five-and-dime and played 'til my fingers bled.

Those were the best days of my life

Red Hand

2013. It will have been such a great year.

Dudess

Can't narrow it down to just one year. 2001 to 2005 was pretty rockin'.

The Davestator

2001 -'working' on a cruise ship, seeing the world, lots of loving, lots of money.

highly recommended...

Yes, yes and yes. All three at the same time was a very nice sequence of events.

Dunno about that. I thought it was just another year with nothing to do.
