I'm confused do i have some sort of terminal illness that will prevent me from growing up?

1992 for me as well.

11 years old and going into the final year of primary.

Locally organised soccer tournaments (We won!). Community Games medals (We came second!). Pairc Ui Chaoimh School Sports Day (I won!). The Barcelona Olympics*, Nick Faldo winning the Open, Denmark winning Euro 92 plus some cracking pop songs.

One of my favourites was "This used to be my Playground" by Madonna. A nostalgic song about her youth. Ironic, that I now feel that way about the Summer of 1992.

*There's something about the Olympics that makes a Summer more memorable for me.

1995 was a good one when we had Scatman John, The Outhere Brothers etc.

My favourite was 1998 as I finished primary school, weather was superb, went with folks to Spain for 2 weeks where I had my first kiss

Also played golf in the glorious weather every day for the whole summer.

I tend to base my life around music and when I listen to any of the 1st 3 Prodigy albums (only got into them around that time) they all remind me of 1997 / 1998.

2012 was pretty good - first summer together with my now-husband, went to the Euros in Poland and the London Olympics together, also went to Zurich for the Diamond League athletics.

2007.

I spent it in New Zealand and trained to become a OWSI with PADI (Scuba instructor).

The 3 months it took to do that were the best of my life. So laidback, having the time of my life with amazing people.

If i could be stuck in a timewarp, i'd go back in an instant.

2009.
Got married with my lovely wife.
Went to Sharm El Seikh for 15 days of vacations, all inclusive and lots of money to spend.
Scuba diving in Red Sea Coral Reef, 34-38°C every day, long days (we where there in June)
Amazing food in the hotel (I gained 10 pounds

), lots of activities in the region and inside the hotel.
24/7 with my love.

1995 - 2001 inclusive were all great summers, but 1998 on my J1 in NYC was probably the most enjoyable to live through. This summer just passed was great as well, as I got married and had around 6 weeks off in total between that and changing jobs, which was pretty sweet.

One of the summers from secondary school when I had nothing to do and all the time to do it. Ended up doing nothing but I was fine with that.

Great atmosphere around the country during the World Cup.

Your best summer...and why...
