    Passed my driving test.
    Got a car.
    Graduated with B.sc. (Hons) in IT for business.
    Trained in my young horse.
    Competitions this year.
    Got a class job with new company.
    Job ended last June. (I did enough to get the company off the ground)

    So really it went up up UP and down with a bang.

    Fell in love with my girlfriend again...had spent the last while just kinda going through the motions but the thought of losing everything we had made me wake up and realise how lucky I am.

    Watched in amazement as my son went from baby who couldn't sit upright to a fearless toddler with an unnatural obsession with wrestling.

    Also started college...it has its downside because it keeps me away from the two of them all day but hopefully I will be able to provide them with a better lifestyle once its over.

    Despite being 22...
    40 I'd understand, even 30... but I'm absolutely stumped as to what could be so devastating about being 22... :confused:

    I had really long hair up to a few months ago too and got it cut, but not short - so much easier to manage, but I miss the long hair. Growing it back.

    Came down with depression, so 2010 was pretty much the worst year of my life.

    At least I managed to get through the college year, and keep in contact with those who matter to me.(They knew something was up but no one knows the full story expect one girl and my family.)

    Although so far this year I've passed my driving test, am starting a personal training course at the end of the month and have gone cold turkey off my medication for the past week(feeling dizzy but fine!)

    Some bad stuff has happened also naturally, like getting rejected from my crush, but at least I'm TRYING things now, whereas fear stopped me in the past.

    Wish me luck that I can keep it going! :)

    Threw a wobbler and quit my crappy job. Now on the dole

    I also broke up with my GF of 4 years. I'm 22 and single, Its.....Interesting. I was suprised I wasn't more upset about it. I'm still waiting for a nervous breakdown where I stagger down cameden street on my own at 2am with a bottle of buckfast screaming "FOUR FCUKING YEARS" at random people.

    Tiny ups and tiny down. Nothing major :)

    Positives;

    Got my degree
    Started a hobby which has lead to me starting my own business
    Realised that negative people shouldn't be in your life, they only bring you down

    Negatives;
    Lost my life long friend to cancer at 24. Something I and others close to him still battle with. I still can't believe it.


    Mixed emotions;
    Lost my grandmother after a long battle with an illness, however she wasn't in pain and went in her sleep. I'm happy she wasn't in pain, sad that she's gone.

    27th April 2010
    Dumped my spineless lying cheating boyfriend of 3 1/2 years for cheating again :mad:
    Left my full time job :(
    Moved to my home town because I couldn't bear to see him and his many many w*ores :mad:

    July 2010
    Buried a friend who was killed in a crash :(

    Then I realised life is wayyyy too short

    Sept 2010
    Moved back to the town I left originally
    Started a night course in college that I love!! :D

    Nov 2010
    Got the best job I have ever worked in!!! Only a couple of days a week but it keeps me going :D

    April 2011
    Have lost nearly 2st since last April and I look and feel amazing!! :D:D
    Got my confidence back!!! :D:D
    Had to ask my boss for a smaller uniform!!! :D (He said he noticed I had lost more since I started didnt know how I would react if he said it to me!!! :p)
    Moving into a house with friend that is half as mad as me!!! :D:D

    2011 is going to be my year regardless of not having enough money to do the extras, but I have my health and I actually feel like I have turned my life around and after loosing all that weight I actually want to go looking for a bikini this year!! (even if it will only be in the back garden!!!! :rolleyes:)

    I can safely say 2010 was by far the worst year of my life so far. Who cares about the economy when you know someone close to you is dying from cancer for instance? It's terrible what some people have to go through, really. Wonder what the next few years has in store...

    Entered into a long distance relationship. Never thought they work, but it seems to be going well for me :)
    Also had to repeat my final year of college, but I despised last year while I love it this year, so I'm very glad I did.
