If you had to relive 1 year of your life (in your lifetime, as you) repeatedly, which year, and why? (basically as your eternal afterlife). Only past years count.

is this a Groundhog Day type situation, or is it "fresh" every time?

Can I do a calendar year or any 12-month period?

September 2017 through August 2018 was a time of tremendous personal growth and general happiness. September 2018 and onward has been a mess financially, academically, and in terms of my mental health.

If I have to pick a calendar year I'd pick 2017. It would miss the tragic event in July/August 2018 that despite its tragedy sparked tremendous growth in me, but 2017 was a good year overall and October-December 2018 was a torturous personal hell that I could never again live through.

None. My life has just been progressively getting worse every year.

In all subsequent times, you have no free will (besides your thoughts/feelings, in addition to being aware of original you's thoughts and feelings), you're just along for the ride, with memories of all previous times.

Tough question. It would be 2016 due to getting married, meeting Pope and Cubs winning the World Series. But that year was brutal for other reasons of course. Maybe 2015, last semester of college, getting engaged, starting law school, bright optimism for the future.

Honestly, 2018. Otherwise, probably 2015.

2017.  If I could pick an 18 month period though, it would be May 2016 through November 2017.

The one I wouldn't want (especially if my memory were wiped and I didn't know what came of it) would be 2013.  In hindsight, God did such amazing things for me in 2013 that helped me come to know Christ, but they were through things that seemed awful to me at the time.

1993 and 2005... the Chinese year of the Rooster.  2017 wouldn't be so bad either

1980.  I was 12.  Girls weren't an issue.  My meals were made for me.  I could play every sport and somehow still see every episode of Gilligan's Island like three times.  And the Phillies won the World Series.  Good Times.

2011. 10th grade was bomb. Best looking I ever was - even got hit on by 4 college dudes that year. 2 different girls openly pretended they were my girlfriend. I seduced a hot 12th-grader dude who worked at the registrar into fixing my record so I wouldn't have to do community service. My 7th grade rivals even came around on me. Parents were lax that year. Had a sweet af summer vacation. Field trips were especially good that year. Got to sit in JFK's chair.

2000.  I don't think I'd want to live it over and over again, but that year was great for me.  It was my senior year in high school; I graduated in June of 2000.  Back then, my school was the only public high school in town, and because we were seniors, we pretty much ran the damn place. 

Now, do I have regrets from that time? Oh hell yeah I do.  If I ever went back, I'd be tempted to change a couple of things that I did/didn't do.  However, for the most part, I wouldn't do much differently. 

(Ah, "there's the rub"....if you change something in the past, do you change not only your own future, but also the futures of those around you? It's a very interesting concept)

Hopefully 2019 ... I'd settle for 2018, though, and 2010 and 2014 would be tied for second.
