is your life better than it was four years ago?

[Juggly D, The Posting Maniac]

though they seem to play the thong song on the radio less and less with every passing year..........

"The times, they are now changing."

[delgriffith]

4 years ago Jugdish wasn't Rob Delaney.

[Mr Spaceship]

financially speaking yes. That's about it.

[1986]

i didnt need to think about this question in the middle of a wednesday, thanks pootis

[bread]

Oh my god

I've been out of college for longer than I was in college

[bread]

Oh my fucking god

[Ted Pikul]

Yeah listen elderly people don't go to university "just because"

They go because they could never afford to their whole lives but were brought up in a world where going to college is considered a social requirement so they've been going around for 60 years feeling inadequate

[Buddy Glass]

Oh my god

I've been out of college for longer than I was in college

Was this a conscious reference to Greta Gerwig in Greenberg or just a happy coincidence

[bread]

Coincidence

[boa]

a different kind of terrible.

i'm more responsible though and have a little family going on, which is good.

an 85 year old woman just graduated from my college this semester. She dropped out of high school almost 70 years ago. u go grl.

[Sharmoota]

Cynicism cuts years out of your life too. So I've been told.

[mcwop23]

4 years ago I was making twice as much money and banging a 21 yo chick raw every night while racing my Evo all over the place getting drunk with my bombass roomies 3-4 nights a week

I'm a lot happier now

[Legion]

well I mean you're a bitcoin millionaire

[Robo-Chachi]

Oh my god

I've been out of college for longer than I was in college

My 20 year high school reunion is next month!

[mothlight]

Financially yes, but I hate my current job and 4 years ago I was living in a city I loved with a girlfriend I loved studying film. I genuinely believe, however, that in a year my life will undoubtedly be a lot better.

[crooked]

The one crappy thing about my life right now is unemployment but honestly leaving my Northern Ontario Shitte Towne for Toronto two yrs ago has made my life significantly better in pretty much every other way possible.

[Lucky]

I was in high school 4 years ago, so yes.
All the sex I've had in my life has been in those 4 years and now i have a load more debt than before and possibly a decent degree in a shitty useless subject

[RAMBLIN MAN]

Big yes, in love and life is good.

[bread]

I'm still naive (or stupid) enough to think it would be romantic to run away to some southern city for a year where nobody can find me

I mean the one good thing about my mother dying is that it pretty much opened me up to be able to move or run away to anywhere

But I don't have the money and it would be really risky to rely on my social skills to find myself a job in a brand new place

[bread]

"And what makes you think you'd be a good fit for this job?"

"DON'T LOOK AT ME"

[bread]

Ha ha

[positive shit]

it's exactly the same, HORRIBLE

[Shotfrog]

Better by every conceivable measure. Married, own a home, have the world's cutest puppy, income and net worth are up, student loan debt is down...

So why do I cry myself to sleep every night?

[Robo-Chachi]

They tell you everything will get better once you join the Bros., but it doesn't. Mo' colors. Mo' problems.

[Lucky]

have the world's cutest puppy

is this verified

[fury]

yes, i have my degree and im about to be able to enter my field (even though theres no jobs in said field).

[mites]

it is so much worse it is insane

[Poptone]

Divorced, terminally underemployed, left a decent job for a field where no hiring is taking place, living situation nowhere near as ideal as it was...so, no.

On the plus side, I graduated my teaching program with honors (not that this helps in getting a job) and have an awesome girlfriend. So it's not all doom.

[kid pretentious]

four years ago i was living in a tiny studio apartment with a girl who was already driving me crazy far off in queens, not seeing my friends much, and becoming depressingly domesticated at 21 and already feeling like it was all over.

i may still be on a post-breakup fun high at the moment but i'm out all the time and seeing everyone i know and having a great time, getting paid to write about music, staying in great shape, dressing better, banging hotter girls, and not feeling like life is over in general.

so yeah, it's way better. the only thing i had going then was more drive to write fiction, i guess, but that's more a marathon than a sprint, so.
