I have a spreadsheet on my computer with a bunch of arbitrary numbers, going from 0 to (theoretically) 10, for each month since July 2006. These are then averaged into year halves, and those into years, those into a life score which currently sits at 4.68/10. If it only included the last 6 years it would be 5.39/10.
2010: Divided. For some reason I rated April 2010 a 9/10, the best month since December 2008, and I don't remember why. I guess that semester of high school was really fun, despite the loss of 1 out of my 3 friends. The first semester of next year didn't turn out as well, December 2010 went down to 2/10. By that point I was losing a second friend as we just didn't have the same interests.
2011: I generally had a lot of fun this year. Lots of video games like Mass Effect. School wasn't perfect and I would've been better off if I had did literally any college prepping instead of waiting until next year - all my effort went into my actual coursework at the time. It's not like I was ever educated on how to plan for college, that's for the better students. It was divided like last year, this time a meh first half and a good second half, but it was more stable, and because of this I consider it better it than last year even though it scores 0.19 points worse
. Worst month is a tie between Feb. and March at 3/10 each, best month is December at 8.5/10.
2012: This year started out good, wonderful even, but something snapped in my mind in April and it stopped being good in a hurry. After the big drop to meh levels it gently rolled downhill. What happened is that I graduated from high school and went to one of two state schools in the county, deciding on the one that had more STEM courses and less liberal arts. However I only took two classes during the fall semester, one was an economics class and the other was perceived as too easy and an attempt to treat me as a child so I only got a B. Best month is a tie between Feb and March at 9.5/10 each (April was 2), worst is December at 0/10.
2013: When the year started I was ready to really get going. I had another economics class that wasn't as good, a logic class, a math class that I flunked, and a senior level biomedical engineering class that I shouldn't have been allowed in at all. I made no serious efforts to socialize and was a commuter student, I had no advising at all, and I had no concrete idea of what to do with my life. I made decisions based on what was or wasn't blocked by prereqs. The summer was the worst time of the year as it was just blanket anxiety disorder and serious depression, including no longer swimming which was always a favorite activity and a single math class which I flunked because of the depression. When I went back to school I had probably the "best" semester of my time at this university - I passed all my classes and I made (weak) efforts to socialize by joining two social clubs although I didn't make any lasting friendships. I actually made a friend online, bringing me back up to 2 friends. By the end of the year I was back above water. Worst months were June and July, both 0/10, best was December at 6/10 as I became optimistic.
2014 - My plan was to pass the various prerequisites I needed for any four year degree while I was on academic probation then work things out in the fall. By April it was clear I was going to flunk out unless I could pull a miracle. I didn't and I flunked out, passing 2 out of 4 classes. In hindsight I was set up for failure when I spent the first day fuming over a rude remark a jerk with official and unofficial power said to me. I decided to devote my summer to socializing online, on the same website and it worked out. By this point I was back up to 3 friends, 2 online. I went on a vacation we couldn't afford, then I went to a community college to the south. Depression sapped what remained of my effort and I flunked the whole semester, passing 0 classes. However, the teachers there seemed to really care about their students, a big difference. Also I got anti-depressant medication and as it turned out I REALLY needed it, although there was at first a false start as a GP gave me meds that were too strong made by a company that bribed GPs, I didn't take any of those.
2015: Soo much better, took my first truly successful college semester. I had something resembling a path forward. No progress made socializing and in fact I was back down to the 1 friend, but so what? During the summer I started getting a constantly stuffy nose. I got a job near the end of the year. Best month of the year was January.
2016: Good. I have a job and although this year wasn't as good academically, needing to WD from a class last semester, it was still pretty good. Best month of this year was August when I went on the Gettysburg trip. Worst was March, but it wasn't truly bad. Leisure time was spent reading oneshot alternate history scenarios and Atlas.
There are still some problems. I don't know what classes to take in Spring '17 (the curse of indecision), and I haven't talked to my only friend as much this year as I did last.
If I were to do a list, I'd have to do it in half-years because that's just the way my life's been. I'll post one later as a simple overview to this long spiel.
