Holy shit 🤯
I graduated high school and college, and got a job where I’m making more than my parents ever made
Incredible 😩😭
The decade ain’t over till 12/31/20. You start counting with 1 not 0. Pls fix
Check Wiki’s for 2020s. I thought consultants are good at googling 😀 or Oxford dictionary for definition of decade.. Op is correct, P2 is wrong
Well this is a sobering activity that I really didn’t need on. Thursday
My point exactly. Was enjoying a nice buzz from my first class wine until this hit
Watched both my sons graduate from college, roll off my payroll and health insurance, get married, and delivered me 5 grandchildren. Hoping to retire in the next decade and be even more present in my grandkids lives.
Graduated college at the start of decade, went to grad school stopped grad school to join the military, multiple deployments got married had two kids finished grad school got out of military started consulting and just started part time business school. Hoping to chilllllll in the 20’s
Best job I’ll ever have but definitely enjoying my new career. Thank you for your sons service!
I MADE A BABY!!!
I hit 10 for 10 in telling myself I’ll be in super good shape for summer and then end up being in mediocre shape each summer. New decade is def gonna break the spell.
Started HS, finished through grad school. Tried multiple fields. Got multiple professional experiences. Took advantage of multiple chances to make a national impact on the public sector, and settled into what I would realize to be a dream role where I can continue to do that and finally focus on building something for the world around me, rather than a resume.
Interpersonally: Fell in love twice. Had a serious (and terrible) relationship once. Went through so many phases on deciding how I should treat others (friends, romantic interests, etc). Still dysfunctional, but I think I've learned enough to be intentional in my growth here.
Heck yeah. Go kill the 2020s
I became the first person in my immediate family to graduate from college. I failed in one career path and managed to pick myself up and find success elsewhere. I broke the cycle of poverty that is common in many immigrant families and now live a very comfortable lifestyle, making about four times what my single mother made while raising my brother and I.
I’ve been fortunate to travel the world throughout Asia, Europe, and South America. I even had the chance to take my mother to Europe for her birthday as a thank you for all she did to get me where I am today.
Not a single day goes by where I’m not grateful for all the opportunities this country has afforded me.
holy shit. Now that you
mentioned can’t believe another decade is gone.
Quit a claims position in insurance I had been in for years and switched into consulting; did a bunch of fun work along the way, got an MBA, lived in 5 different countries, met a beautiful woman whose only fault is not being smart enough to avoid me and married her, had a kid and somehow got to spend a ton of time caring for my late father in his last few difficult years. It’s been a heck of a decade. Hoping for one more kid before the decade is officially over (before end of 2020)
Graduated college. Paid off 50k in debt. Lived in multiple countries. Graduated from business school. Paid off 70k in debt. Came to terms with who I am. Dated (a lot). Figured out what I want to do. Made friends for life. Contributed to saving a few lives. Got closer to my family. Dealt with a loss. Now, onward and forward.
Learned a couple foreign languages really well, then stopped being overseas and can’t speak them quite as well anymore. Came back to the states, dealt with some demons. Fell in love, loved being in love, lost that love. Graduated and will graduate again in December. Moved 7 times, will make it 8 by year end. Made friends and memories I’ll never forget and always be grateful for. Also have some serious stinging regrets from not always making the right choices, and tough lessons learned that I still beat myself up about.
All in, mixed bag, but I’m a better man in many ways because of it. And I absolutely cannot wait for 2018/19 to be put in the past. 2020 let’s roll fishes
Got married to the love of my life after losing and getting back in contact for a few decades. We had two beautiful children who are smart, thoughtful, loving and healthy and show no signs of turning into assholes (keeping my fingers crossed). Gained some weight. Lost some hair. Turned weaknesses into strengths. Turned "strengths" into weaknesses. And also did incredibly well in my career. Also, I'm happy.
On the race to find a husband
Ok, let’s all put our names into the 🎩!
Moved to new city, fell in love & got married, had three kids, bought a house and earned a major promotion. Also beat cancer 👍🏻
Became more "me" in the last 3 years after trying to change/shape my image for the first 7 when I started and struggled through university and my early career. Also finally came to the realization that the benefits of adulthood and autonomy must be preceded by accepting the responsibility for yourself as an adult, and never affording oneself the excuse that you're just a new grad or a "kid". So impressed by the younger folk who have that right out of school.
Graduated elementary school, middle school, high school and college... 😂😂.
Graduated from college, got a job, moved to US, promoted con, snr con and now Manger. Fell in love and Married the love of my life. Now planning for a baby and buying a house. Next year should be exciting.
