bump

I opened this thread 4 years ago... time to reflect on the 4 years passed since then.
For those who replied back then ... have those yrs been like you've wished/dreamt of?

Alhamdulillah no major regrets or unpleasant surprises for me! I have a totally different life and priorities now... but then again that's what I had expected 4 yrs ago ;-)

Re: Take a look at me now

So do I talk about the 5 years before this thread was opened (1998) or five years ago (2002)? :5:

Re: Take a look at me now

wow those were the days. i don't think i replied to it back then but i'll reply now.

i graduated from highschool that year and at that time i thought in 5 yrs time i'll be married and with kids. but i still haven't finished my school and still very confused in what i want to get my bachelors in. and NO it's nothing that i had expected, every opposite thing happened and yes many regrets and disappointments. but then again u grow and learn to be a better person so i suppose i've learnt alot in these 4 yrs.

2002:
I was 17 years old. The most imp thing for me was to get my drivers license (i viewed it as a quick way to freedom, to go wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted).

I had, like, 0 friends (well I wasn’t allowed to hang out wiht anyone after school, or the weekends, so what did i expect???) and hte ones I did fight to keep in the end turned out to be bad news.

I just wanted to go to college, get a job, move out, live in the city etc. I wanted to go to college for fashion design and that was my plan.

I hated hte idea of getting married, i viewed it as a prison.

I fought wiht my parents constantly because I hated everything my parents stood for then, and esp culture.

2007:
I failed my driving test 3 times, my learners permit JUST expired this month, and I’ve been relying on ol faithful MTA for the last 4 years. :hehe:

I applied to FIT but didn’t get in :frowning: so I ended up going to the second (or third?) choice college. But I dont’ regret it because I’ve met some of my best friends from there. Right now, I’m still a student not sure when I’ll graduate, get a job, or which city I’ll even live in :hinna:

I got married in January (holy crap it still makes me :eek: when I actually write/say it!)…

I’ve made many mistakes in these 5 years, (who to keep as friends, academic mistakes etc) but I think my life now is 100000000000 million times better than when I was 17, only because 1) i have the freedom I so craved as a teenager and 2) my relationship wiht my parents has improved 100000000000 million times…

**2012?
**To have graduated and working and on teh road to establishing roots :cb:

Re: Take a look at me now

Well 5 years ago I was 17 an honor student, determined, very focused in school; didn't really hang out or have many friends. I was motivated to become a doctor and was ready to step into the real world. I definitely made a lot of plans and had big dreams, including one of becoming a young doctor :D

-2007: I had joined a university and made up for all the socializing that I didn't participate in during school. I changed into a totally different person from h.s; in the sense that I had too many friends/acquaintances and just started hanging out. I lost focus and missed out on the guaranteed admission program to this medical school. Although, not too long from now i'll be finishing up my degree, Insha'Allah.

One thing for sure is nothing went exactly as I planned, I feel everything happens for a bigger or better reason. At that time we may get frustrated and feel terrible for things not going as we thought, but one day we eventually realize that what happened was for ones betterment. <-- My 2 cents :)

Re: Take a look at me now

Hmm lets see...
5 years back I had just gotten engaged, reenetered University, decided to get into Pharmacy... Had some good times and bad, made some indredible friends and lost some others.
Got into Pharmacy school (big accomplishment considering how comeptative its become) and stuck to it for about a year and a half, found it to be dry and just couldnt manage it, so left that behind... very confusing time for me, and very stressful... Fiancee's family wanted me to get married already, but I had no job so wasnt sure what to do.
Wandered about aimlessly, got a part time job, came under hell of alot of pressure...
Finally decided to go into medical, so went to Belize in 2005, got married to the girl I got engaged to in 2001, then moved to El Paso to study in Jurez Mexico...
Now about five years later, somewhat more mature, far more financialy insecure, and trying to step into real adult hood and take some serious responsibilites. Still living in El Paso and studying for Step 1, which I hope to take in December, maybe. Plan on eventually specializing in child psychiatry...
So if all goes well, you can start calling me doctor Pakpatriot from next year:)...
