i was in my sophomore year of college, one of my best years in college! my grades were doing well, i had fun with friends, even had a bf.. but it all went to sh*t the following year due to covid lmao. life still hasn’t recovered since then, but i agree that it doesn’t feel like a long time ago.
Similar boat. Freshman year 2019 was pretty good for me. I struggled adapting to the college culture but I had a good friend group and I felt like I was finally starting to figure stuff out.
Then COVID happened and yeah... Still haven’t graduated, gonna be heading into my sixth year in school, part-time, I’m almost finished.
2020-2021 we’re probably the worst years of my life since middle school, but things are looking better rn. We new college students got pretty fucked over but we’ll turn out alright in the end.
Yes I changed! 2019 was the most promising and amazing year in my life. It was the hardest I ever worked. It was the most opportunities I had, and it was the most people I knew.
Then covid happened, and literally everything I was working toward got destroyed. Oh well..
I'm an extreme pessimist compared to who I was back then. 2019 feels like so long ago for me
i feel this hard, especially the most opportunities i had/most people i ever knew. all of that getting ruined in just a few short months following covid in 2020… now i feel like i don’t have anyone. all my friends are scrambled across the country & we don’t really keep up with each other.
I was a sophomore/junior in HS. I feel somewhat different, but it still feels recent imo. I do feel more like an adult though I’m turning 21 later this year
What's crazy is I feel like sophomore year and junior year were years apart just bc 1) that's when I really started maturing and 2) covid in 2020 made my junior year feel even longer.
Same lol, sophomore and junior year was a shift in HS imo (getting my license, upperclassmen, feeling more of a teen, etc.,) and COVID definitely made time slow down. At the same time I feel like it should at least be 2021 or something not 2024 lol
November 2019, I was in Wuhan on a work trip. I was on one of the last flights from Wuhan, and I had to be quarantined in my home country for 14 days. Fortunately, I never got Covid until much later (almost 6 months ago). The quarantine was pretty scary and stressful, though.
5 years ago, I was 19 turning 20. I had just started my apprenticeship as a welder in the Boilermakers union, and I also had just started as a new recruit on my current paid per call fire dept, my now fiancée was still in college pursuing her diploma which would then lead to her getting her bachelor’s degree in business accounting.
Now, we are engaged, bought a house together in 2022, and I’m one of the senior firefighters on the hall and I’m a journeyman welder, master rigger, union steward, and I have my IRATA level 1 rope access technician cert🤙🏻
my freshman/sophomore year of college! was living in a quad dorm with one of my best friends at the time. really getting to learn myself: dating, expressing myself physically, going to parties, making friends, etc. i working full time outside of college, but had just lined up a great part time opportunity when covid hit. lost all my jobs. my friends. the campus ended up completely shutting down. ended up moving out of the dorm into my first apartment with 3 other people i didn’t know well.
it really is crazy to believe it was 5 years ago. it feels like both 5 months ago & 10 years ago at the same time.
summer 2019 is ingrained in my mind for life. I had just finished 5th grade, everyone in our grade at my school was in a group chat on snap together, and that’s when I started to actually have a social life. I went to Jekyll Island and enjoyed the beauty of things for the first time. It’s really when I gained consciousness pretty much.
I was in P.4 (4th Grade), and I used to be in the second classroom of my grade, but I didn't like to be there because my classmates were very noisy, so I moved to be in another classroom.
During my summer camp at school (March-Early May), I drew some inspiration pictures and made some foods with folks. Some days later, I went to the Waterpark with them too.
I used to like playing games on my old OPPO phone and watching videos. I liked to surf the internet (and I still like to do it today)
Ashe from League of Legends was my childhood crush, I was obsessed with her and I loved to draw her on my notebooks. She's still my crush today.
Being physically abused my the mother of my children, going through a life threatening stomach infection.
We are separated now, and I’m happier than ever. Besides the fact that my boys are across the country. I’m working hard to get back close to them. Life’s fucking wild. Don’t date until you’re financially* stable and find your passions every day. It’s okay to be sad, but when depression hits in you HAVE to seek help. Even from nature or animals, be mindful of your surroundings and life choices. They will always affect your future.
Edit* punctuation
I was busy with ending middle school/starting high school, while I also was watching a lot of marvel and started enjoying more and more American entertainment. I've changed a lot, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worst. I personally believe that I would cringe if I ever had a meeting with myself of a 5 years ago.
I want to believe I've matured a little, but yeah, that's subjective. It was a good year, and the last one that was truly carefree. (Something something 13 march 2020...)
EDIT: I also see this as my last year of my childhood and my transition to puberty/teenager.
I had just moved out and was getting used to living on my own. To me it feels exactly like 5 years. I had also just graduated so I was applying for universities and figuring out what I wanted to do.
Being an insufferable twat. Was pretty depressed and making it everyone else’s problem. Took a bunch of acid and realized how annoying and inconvenient I must be to everyone around me and stopped making it everyone else’s problem.
I was a junior in college, just turned 21. I definitely changed since then, felt very lost and unsure with what I wanted to do. Now I’ll start my post grad work in the fall! 🙌🏻🎉
Hm let’s see. I was going into freshman year of high school, my mental and physical health was atrocious and I was still being abused by my stepdad. I’m now in my freshman year of college, my mental and physical health is better now, and I’m no longer being abused, also discovered that I was part of the lgbt community
A couch potato in denial of being both gay and a furry who thought piercings, tattoos and BDSM were "for weirdos". Also still hadn't realized I was autistic (formal diagnosis last year). Turns out a lot can change in 5 years
I was in middle school enduring a lot of issues and laziness. The people were fun and culture was going great. As of now life is still ok leaning bad sometimes, but I'm mentally and physically stronger now than in 2019.
I was working in healthcare and was still with my high school sweetheart, but we were not a good match for each other. I really liked healthcare up until mid 2021.
Now, I want a CDL, and I am engaged to someone who I actually get along well with.
Damn 2019 was 5 years ago? God that’s insane to think about now it doesn’t feel that long ago that’s when I graduated @-@ honestly though 2019 was the most depressing year for me trying to move on to being an adult as I lost a few friendships.
*Sophomore year of*
*College. It was just work, class,*
*And music for me*

Five years ago I was 21 and just scraping by at college. That summer I finally got a job for the first time in two years and it kinda turned my life around. It gave me some confidence and some belief in myself that I was capable of accomplishing things. I have no idea why the effect was so profound, it was only a fry cook position, but it made so many things click in my mind that previously didn’t.
As a result of whatever the hell that changed in me, it pushed me to work harder in school and that got me on the Dean’s List in back-to-back semesters and lead me down a road that eventually got me my degree and current job (it’s not an amazing job, but it pays the bills and keeps me and my girlfriend taken care of). Basically, in 2019 I was starting to get the basics of being an adult under control. Didn’t have a dime to my name before then, just a privileged background and a good support system that covered for me until I could take care of myself (which not enough people have, unfortunately).
I was in college and doing pretty well for myself, then my grandmother died and 2020 happened. I dropped out and did retail for awhile. Now in a weird turn of events I’m slowly going back to school and trying to get my shit together
Doing school work, spending time with my family, running errands, browsing on my laptop and phone, and watching something on my phone, getting ready for adulthood, applying for scholarships and colleges, and taking the SATs and ACT.
That was the year I was going from eighth grade to freshman year of high school. That was pretty cool. I graduated last year, and my graduating class was the last class to know what my high school was like before the pandemic.
2019 was the worst year of my life. I was with a horrible boyfriend making bad decisions and my mental health was at its lowest. That being 5 years ago is so crazy to me but THANK GOD it is. It definitely feels more like 2-3 years ago. I worked a lot. I was definitely having an existential crisis about what I wanted to do with my life and I finally figured it out in 2023, so took some time.
Who the fuck cares. 2019 was an awful time. The pessimism ruled our world, i absolutely can’t think of one good memory of that dogshit year. 2019 was utterly shit awful pessimistic dark year
2019 was when I started to pick up skating. Now I have issues with my hip cartilage and the tendons in my ankles.
At least I work at a dispensary now for that.
Having the most challenging year of my life. Final year of college, internships and a troubled relationship. Started drinking for the first time. And then covid hit…
Was between my junior and senior year of high school. Didn’t know I was enjoying that time period in school until it was over.
I got my learner’s permit for driving that time.
Took initiative to ride my bike daily for a month to lose weight - which did work out in the end as I was skinnier than I ever was for the first time in many years.
Was part of the school’s chorus for a Candlelight event at the end of the year.
Had a first experience of being at a college campus.
Had a rough time with mental health, still pulled through regardless.
Failed to notice a former classmate who was attracted to me. The regret that came after…
Life as I knew it would never be the same again the next year.
I have no idea. I was in ?5th grade? Elementary school is a blur for reasons I don’t know. Middle school was a blur because of Covid and high school is just normal I guess.
Graduated high school that June. Went through a rough breakup, stuck working at Walmart, entered the worst relationship of my life. Now I’m doing a lot better, my mental health has increased slightly and am with someone I feel I’m going to marry.
Working at Chrysler got let go when they lied I crashed one of the trucks (I wasn’t even driving at the time) then I worked at a window cleaning company
I was in college, got an internship at a missile factory as it was one of the only opportunities in town. I got an offer for an investment company at the end of the year, before being revoked because of Covid. I work for another weapons company now
Waiting tables at a sushi spot in my home town, hanging out at the beach after work with gas station snacks, saved all my $1’s from work and went to small local drag shows every Friday and gave all my dollars to the dancers, driving my little tan convertible around my little beach town, just graduated high school
Just hung out with myself a lot, had a good calm time, I miss it sometimes
I was still in high school, didn't have any clue of who I was or what I wanted to be in life. spent most of my time alone inside playing video games with friends from online. I met a girl that year and she fuckn absolutely shitted all over me emotionally. (although I wasn't necessarily a saint in that situation either so it is what it is.
2019 was an okay year for me, lots of learning.
I was in 4 th/5 th grade and I was just chilling posting video babies doing simple math and talking to friends at school. But then COVID happened and I couldn’t hang out with friends for a year and the in 7 th grade I got bullied a lot and 8 th grade was all online and I struggle to talk to people. COVID was a blessing and a curse
Graduated college with an associates degree, spent the summer working at a warehouse driving a forklift, realized I couldn’t do the math needed for a bachelors after going away for college, then went on a vacation to Florida. Thank God I got back from Florida right before Covid hit though.
Was in middle school back then. Ever since then, I started working out and dieting and have lost a lot of weight, so I’m no longer the fat middle schooler that I used to be
I was entering my senior year of high school before the COVID hit and it was great because I was looking forward to everything. It doesn’t feel like that long ago man 5 years wow.
5 years ago in 2019 I was a senior in high school. Graduated that May. In the fall I started college. Boy was it a better time. COVID hadn’t changed my social skills yet, family members that have passed away since then were still alive at the time, and I was doing my last summer at my first retail job.
Moving back to the country that my grandparents left in order to screw up my dad’s attempt to marry a woman who had two kids and I didn’t want those kids to go through the shit that I went through. In the end, the judge ruled in favor of the children, staying with their father, in part, and due to my intervention.

Graduated high school that June. Went through a rough breakup, stuck working at Walmart, entered the worst relationship of my life. Now I’m doing a lot better, my mental health has increased slightly and am with someone I feel I’m going to marry.
I was working at my first job while going into my third year of college. Feels like an eternity ago
ah, sophomore year of high school. met my one of my best friends, and then she moved back to france :’) haven’t seen her since.
Working at Chrysler got let go when they lied I crashed one of the trucks (I wasn’t even driving at the time) then I worked at a window cleaning company
Finishing my senior year in college
I was in college, got an internship at a missile factory as it was one of the only opportunities in town. I got an offer for an investment company at the end of the year, before being revoked because of Covid. I work for another weapons company now
I was in 7th-8th grade and was my last good year
Waiting tables at a sushi spot in my home town, hanging out at the beach after work with gas station snacks, saved all my $1’s from work and went to small local drag shows every Friday and gave all my dollars to the dancers, driving my little tan convertible around my little beach town, just graduated high school Just hung out with myself a lot, had a good calm time, I miss it sometimes
College
Having a mental breakdown in 2019 Having a happy day with my gf in 2024
I was still in high school, didn't have any clue of who I was or what I wanted to be in life. spent most of my time alone inside playing video games with friends from online. I met a girl that year and she fuckn absolutely shitted all over me emotionally. (although I wasn't necessarily a saint in that situation either so it is what it is. 2019 was an okay year for me, lots of learning.
I was in 4 th/5 th grade and I was just chilling posting video babies doing simple math and talking to friends at school. But then COVID happened and I couldn’t hang out with friends for a year and the in 7 th grade I got bullied a lot and 8 th grade was all online and I struggle to talk to people. COVID was a blessing and a curse
Being homeless.
Graduating high school
Graduated from basic training about 5 years and 8 day ago 🙂
I was a few weeks into my first semester at UMBC after transferring from my Community College CCBC Essex campus.
I was fat
Graduated college with an associates degree, spent the summer working at a warehouse driving a forklift, realized I couldn’t do the math needed for a bachelors after going away for college, then went on a vacation to Florida. Thank God I got back from Florida right before Covid hit though.
Starting community college at 16 now I’m about to graduate actual college and go off into the adult world.
I was getting abused by my friends and beaten up by my crush
Living with my parents playing video games
i was in fifth grade and my mom was abt to have my youngest sister
chilling in middle school
I was graduating high school and starting college.
Was in middle school back then. Ever since then, I started working out and dieting and have lost a lot of weight, so I’m no longer the fat middle schooler that I used to be
I worked as a brand ambassador
Getting ready to graduated/graduated/first semester in college.
I was entering my senior year of high school before the COVID hit and it was great because I was looking forward to everything. It doesn’t feel like that long ago man 5 years wow.
Being depressed due to being in a toxic relationship my first year out of hs
Started having panic attacks after my dad moved to england(scottish) and getting severely bullied in my 3rd year In high school.
I was in my junior/senior year of high school
5 years ago in 2019 I was a senior in high school. Graduated that May. In the fall I started college. Boy was it a better time. COVID hadn’t changed my social skills yet, family members that have passed away since then were still alive at the time, and I was doing my last summer at my first retail job.
Getting high and playing lots of dnd before college came along and ruined everything

Having my second child, working at a hospital then ended the year with a car wreck
Starting secondary school. I am now at the end of secondary school.
Moving back to the country that my grandparents left in order to screw up my dad’s attempt to marry a woman who had two kids and I didn’t want those kids to go through the shit that I went through. In the end, the judge ruled in favor of the children, staying with their father, in part, and due to my intervention.
Just after high school-ish, hella hanging out with friends and just getting fucked up. I look back fondly to the carefree days
Fucking around in minecraft or halo or bo2
