Greatest thing to happen to you in 2015?

[catnet 9,359]

Made a 2014 version of this topic almost exactly a year ago, so felt like trying it again for this year, even if 2015 has a few days left before we really move on :3

 

So, what was your best moment of this year? I find it kinda hard to pick since this was an uneventful year for me- though, in a sense, a lot of good things have happened and I have very fond memories- but... 8D But...

 

... okay, I can't actually pick x3 How about you guys? I hope it's been a good year for you all, and may the rest of it be kind to you too!

This is an easy question for me: I met my wonderful boyfriend, @ and I am just so happy to be with him. ^__^ I think that has easily been the best part of my entire year for sure.

Two things:

 

1) Reigniting my love for writing by writing Pony Fanfiction after years of not having the drive to write fiction of any kind (and actually managing to get featured!)

 

2) Landing a steady paying job after years of unemployment

I suppose getting a job was my highlight! I have bought so many technologies since so i'd say that's my greatest thing to happen this year

[Celestial Sloth 369]

I got my first job (and quit very soon after), started volunteering which made me more confident than I could ever imagine, went on my first date drinking to a bunch of 80's music. It's been a great year.

 

Damn, I'm gonna miss 2015. 2016's got a lot to live up to.

I got my copy of Fallout 4, been playing and making textures and mods for it.  So much fun.

Graduation was the best part about 2015. No longer do I have to go to school, I am now a man. 

[Envy 6,380]

Well, clearly, finally being inspired to really learn the oboe, and finding a teacher.

 

It's all too interesting how it all worked out. Now I'm really playing a second of my top three instruments! I'd really given up on the oboe, telling myself that the bassoon was the only one for me even though I loved the oboe and tenor saxophone, too. They were too much for me, I thought.

 

...I could write a longggggggg blog-like post on this, as would be to be expected from me, I suppose, but I'm trying to avoid that... Lol. Keeping it as concise as I can! - Learning the oboe has helped me reach new heights as a musician. Heights I struggled so badly with on the bassoon back when I needed to learn these things. Funny, I got the oboe when I threw my hopes of going into my degree, or even going back to college in the trash. The majority of the year I continued on that path... In fact, it got so bad that I was really just telling myself I should get any and every instrument I want, and that kind of happened this year... I like to joke, calling myself the Brass/Woodwind Instrument equivalent of a 'Crazy Cat Lady', but I think that was really happening to me this year. With my love life turning hopeless, and everything else in my life already being hopeless, this 'joke' of mine, seemed like a serious addiction. I was sooo close to spending upwards of $7000 of my grocery store wage on an English horn. I don't even know what stopped me.

 

This is turning blog-like... Oops! >.< Getting to the point here, because there is one somewhere in this mess. xD Around mid to late summer I really started listening to Field of Reeds' music (not just on YouTube, though), and it really inspired me to pick the oboe back up. So I can really start this with her. The reason I really bring her up here, though, is that the expressiveness of her playing is what really inspired me. I wanted to start playing like that, whereas I never had before. And that's what I mean, when I say I've grown as a musician - when I got my lessons, I asked my lessons instructor to teach me these things, and she successfully has been doing so!

 

...But my teacher got down to the heart of things right off the bat, and really got me thinking about school again. Got me thinking of trying again and not being 'satisfied' being a miserable overnight stocker for the rest of my life. Not only has she been teaching me, but she's also looked into schools, and contacted people, all to help me get back. She is a blessing!

 

Sorry for the post that ended up being blog-like! I could have gone into so much more detail (like how I met my oboe teacher) but I left that out, because this isn't a blog. =P I just wanted to describe exactly how and why this shook my whole world. If I hadn't really listened to FoR's music (which I don't really remember what really got me to, as I had liked her music for a couple of years - at least - prior) or if that meeting up with my teacher hadn't happened, I'd be in a much different place.

Definitely hugging my best friend. 

[Varrack 1,080]

I joined this fandom, and it ended up being really cool. Other than that nothing. But next year I plan on getting my license, exploiting talents, and some other cool stuff.

The best thing? I ate in a non-eating area, the guards were wondering around and the food was smelly enough but I didn't get caught 

[Blique 211]

I think I got into Steven Universe this year? If so, that's probably the best thing that happened in 2015. Nothing much else worth noting.

Best thing for me: getting a gift of $120 worth of polaroid film-- which is 48 pictures worth, but still

I was victorious in a battle against my ex-employer that lasted 4 years.

 

Plus a family friend gave my daughter a Rainbow Dash doll, and we figured "oh, we should put on the show and see if she likes it"......

[Raynoult 32]

I got the first hug in my life. That's all.

I think becoming part of the staff was really the best thing :/.

 

(2015 was the worst year of my life so far so nothing really good happened)

[Deae Rising Shine~ 57,361]

Buying PS4 and MGSV.

 

Yes, a console and a game is the best thing happened to me. The rest was (Insert any bad word you want in here) especially this months seems to became the tip of the mountain of this year.
