While were on the subject of years, what was everyone's personal favourite year from start to finish?
For me 2003 stands out as the best. It was split as the second semester of my first year at uni and the first part of my second. Stuck in-between was a scorching summer and living at a mates house as my mum had moved down south.
A heady mix of dope filled days and pilled up nights in Manchester. Plus chilling out in the bright lights of Burton on Trent during the summer. Add to that a steady relationship and it added up to a cracking year.
2003, ahh yesterday.

I finished my A Levels at school, and had a girlfriend. Went to Ibiza with all my schoolmates for one last hurrah in the summer. I started uni in Edinburgh and went through all the fresher shite of getting fucked all the time, and never going to class. It was a great year, though subsequent years haven't been bad either.
lol, class a's tend to have that effect on people
turned 18 and was finally (legally!) able to drink and go out, plus had an awesome summer aand i started uni which was ace!!
2006 is probably a close second tho!! hoping 07 will beat both!!
First part of the year I was living at home with no responsibility, met an absolutely stunning gir in the spring and had so many good memories of going out with her that summer, walking along the beach and going for country walks at 3am.
That finished in September (didn't see her for 5 years since then, but met her again through Bebo and had a bit of a rendevous at Hogmanay just there haha), no time to mope cause I left home for uni the week after, had so many mental piss ups for the rest of the year and just loved it.
The year before i moved to the UK. Says it all really.
Just turned 18, dumped my knob head of a boyfriend and got a life. It all went wrong in 2001 and I've never had a good year since.
Moving away to Uni - plenty of booze ups, pissing around during my A levels.
I can't say I've had a superb year.
Last year of school. Had a blast. Got fucked every weekend, and just hung around an amazing crowd of people that I still see today and regard as some of my best friends.
Also started uni that year which is the greatest thing I've ever done. Don't even think it needs to be explained.
I've say 2006 though despite going through some really rough patches.
I'd say 2006 for a number of reasons. First being, I cut contact with my ex of 3 years. Had courage to do it. Best move I ever made. I've had lots of fun this year dating/having other boyfriends/having fun/being single.
I also had the best SUMMER ever. Made lots of new friends and had a complete and utter brilliant time.
My social life this year has been fucking AMAZING.
I also got my job at the student union which was really good. I felt really good about it as 400 people applied for 40 positions and I was selected to be one of those 40 positions. The job itself is amazing. Its the first job that I've enjoyed so much. I work with the most bubbly people and lots of fit lads (oh yes!)
Err also, just in general I've been much much happier. Finally realised what happiness is and I'm finally living life to the full and enjoying every minute of it. I go out lots with my friends, I have fun, I love my job, etc. I just became really happy. After years of feeling miserable and insecure, I'm now 100% happy and my confidence is sky high. I feel so independent. All of my friends have noticed the difference in how I was this time last year to how I am now.
Thats why, I'm hoping 2007 will be wicked! However, with me graduating, getting my own place to live, getting a new job, etc, we'll see...
but seriously, who knows? The past couple of years for me have been a bit shit, and before that they all just merged together really.
2004 was also awesome, went to USA, canada plus a legendary UK roadtrip...
Basically I had a car I didn't pay for, I had a credit card (which my parents paid for!), I was at school for the first half but had really easy lessons. I did loads of clubbing loads of drugs, went out with my friends all the time (who i love to death and am mostly still friends with today), had loads of now infamous parties as my dad was living in scotland and my mum went to see him lots leaving me and my sister home alone. Saw the prodigy 3 times!
Went to lots of festivals, raced (sailing boats) in cowes week, went sailing in scotland and got the sleeper back, went to Kavos with my 2 best friends, went sailing/backpacking around the mediterranien, went to amsterdam, went skiing twice Had a couple of crap jobs and then went travelling around the world only to come back to another amazing summer in 1997 - soooo much fun
However during this period I also had some of the crappest times of my life as well. So in terms of being on an even keel 2006 has been pretty damn good and i've been very happy.
Everythings been a bit shit from 1999 onwards... I intend that to change though... 2007 is damn well going to be a good year, I've decided! :yippe:
I loved 2002 because i finished school then started college in september which was a seriously fun part of my life, and i went to lots of gigs, met new peopleand basically had a great time.
But i also loved september 05-september 06 because i passed my driving test, graduated, met alot of people through uni and moving house, and got a fantastic boyfriend that i'd had my eye on for bloody ages
Im hoping 2007 is going to get even better
I've had loads of good years though, all for very different reasons.
