    I wouldn't normally start threads, but had a quick search for a thread like this and couldn't find one. Basically, what has been the best day of your life so far, and why? What did it feel like?

    I'm still only a young one, not even finished college yet, so for me there aren't any stand out days like getting married or having a child etc. But to date, I would probably say the last day at my first Electric Picnic was pretty special. I went with a very random crowd who I wouldn't usually hang around with, but over the course of the weekend I ran into a lot of old friends who then decided to camp with us and made a lot of great new friends in the process, saw some great live music and danced my socks off all weekend, it was also one of my first experiences with drugs, which undoubtedly multiplied the feeling at the time. By the end of the final night it was a special feeling looking around at all these people, it felt like pure happiness - something I will never forget.

    Mine is quite boring and insignificant, but I'm interested in hearing everyone elses if anyone would care to share!

    Cant say that anything comes to mind when I think about it. So there's either been too many great days to pick a best one or its all been an unmemorable pile of shíte. Depending on how you look at it.

    Just after my last leaving cert exam was a pretty special day. On the way home from school after the exam, me and my mate dawdled. It was a beautiful June afternoon and it was so quiet. We just sat on a wall in the sun and didn't say a word. He sparked up a cigarette and handed it to me for a drag. Took a drag and gave it back to him. About 30 seconds passed as we were just looking around at the sunny day then he just looked at me and said "Fcukin' magic eh?" and I replied "yep...fcukin' magic!". Then he said "Go home and see your ma, get changed then come round my gaff. The oul lad has set aside a few bottles of beer for us!"

    Not quite a full day but a very special and memorable moment.

    I was 5 points short of the university course that I wanted to do. I went back to repeat 6th year. Didn't get 2nd round offer either. About 2 weeks into 6th (7th!) year, I was called into the headmaster's office out of the blue. He told me that the points had dropped by 10 for the third round, and I got the last place on the course that I wanted to do.

    I started college the next day.

    The day I got laughing gas at the dentist for the first time. I remember time slowed down, everyones voices in the room sounded far away and echoey. I felt a feeling of relaxtion that I didn't think was possible, there was a lovely warm feeling throughout my whole body. At that moment nothing else mattered in the world. All my problems and troubles were instantly forgotten. I found myself focusing intensely on various items in the room. As I breathed in more and more I felt like I was floating in the room and looking down on everything. It was such an incredible buzz, what I would give to have that feeling again, I never felt as good as I felt that day. Subsequent times I had laughing gas were good too but never quite like the first time, and the more I received it the less effect it had. If a doctor every tells me I have 2 months to live or something I think I will try heroin in an attempt to experience the type of buzz I had that time.
