Irish Trinity

jumpguy

Are you Pleo?

10 years ago I was 6. I suppose I was expecting to be in secondary school then. A great day, this day 10 years ago was.

sidneykidney

Well i thought i be dead,so being alive is somewhat of a bonus.:)

Pleo

yea i suppose, finished college still living at home

Captain Havoc

No, and since I've given up making plans

KnifeWRENCH

The 9 year old me didn't have a clue where I'd be now.

The 19 year old me has no idea where I'll be in 10 years time and the thought of being another 10 years older is terrifying.

liah

I doubt it. I haven't a clue what I thought when I was 12.

The Big Red Button

I don't know ... well I suppose I always wanted to do medicine, what I'm actually doing now is completely different. But apart from that, ten years ago I was fourteen, all I probably cared about was what would happen if I kissed someone else who was also wearing braces, not what I'd be doing in ten years time!!!

I'm 23 now and have wasted every day of my life so far, so ya I'm pretty much where I though I would be.

Nope. I thought I'd surely be inhabiting a Blade Runner type world by 2009. :mad:

I thought I'd be in college. I'm repeating the Leaving.
So,in short,no.

robbie_998

no, my Jamaican bobsled team never won a medal :(:(

10 years ago I thought many things, I'm probably not where I would have aimed for (much currency and unlimited women) but I am close enough.

Ten years ago, I was two days away from being nine.
It may be hard to believe, but I hadn't yet constructed a long term plan.

I'm happy with where I am though.
I always loved being out doors. Check.
I always wanted to be in a rock band. Check.
I always wanted to go to collage. Check.
I always wanted to be awesome... Double check.:cool:

anniehoo

Still single..no! Happy with job, own apartment,car and good social life..yes! So..reasonable.

citizen_p

pikachucheeks

Apologies, it was already mentioned.

Lab_Mouse

nope but its been one hell of a ride:)

metaoblivia

I can't even tell you where I'm going to be next week, nevermind in 10 years! 10 years ago I was just starting university. I don't think I would have imagined all that I've accomplished since, but that's the spice of life.

Just started for two years, optional 3rd year.
Will probably end up doing that out in Castlebar.

Also, one of these days I'll spell college right, first time.

Ten years ago, I was dreading turning 20, it felt so `grown - up`, now I`m 29, and dreading turning thirty and wondering where the hell the last decade of my life went, despite the fact that very little has changed. I`m still single, childless and living in a rented flat (but at least I`ve left home, unlike one person I know).

Neamhshuntasach

While high one night i wrote down a list of goals when i was 18.

1. Learn to play an instrument.
2. Learn a foreign language and use it in a country it's spoken in.
3. Set foot on all the continents.
4. Visit 100 countries.
5. Ride a local in each of those 100 countries.

I'm only failing on 4 and 5.

27 countries shy of 100 visited and 29 out of 73 with the locals. So i guess i'm doing okay on where i thought i'd be or have achieved.

Cupcake_Crisis

The 10 year old me had very high hopes for the future.
The 20 year old me struggles to get out of bed in the morning..... so no, not excatly where i had hoped...

soups05

yes, i am where i thought (and hoped) i would be in some ways. but not in others.

however....the journey to get here was longer,harder and more terrifying than i could have dared imagine.

had i know the years in-between would be so full of loss,hardship,depression,fear,anger,betrayal and disappointment then i may not have bothered.


still, at least am not bitter

38 and still going. you kids in your 20's will learn


whaa haa haaa

ChocolateSauce

Yes, exactly where, actually.

Pretty good planning for a child.

Corkfeen

At 8 I thought that I'd be rich at this stage, wonders of youth. Still in bloody school which is a bit annoying.

Local-womanizer

Absoulutly no where close.

Life took a wierd turn,but still worked out I suppose.Still have my health and Iam enjoying College.I just dread the day I finish college tbh,but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it:)

BroomBurner

Never in a million years did I think I would be where I am now.

10 years ago I had no idea where I would be today. It turns out my life hasn't changed too much in all those years.

I would be very surprised if my life is similar in another 10 years though... for starters I'm probably going to emigrate next year.

Senna

In 1999 i was 20, started 3yr college. I work in the industry i studied for, at the level i expected. Have house, car, missus, etc etc.
So i'm either really boring or a master of planning.

dildo... sorry, ditto. Add baby on the way, although I hadn't expected to be a dad for another few years

I'm opting for "master of planning"

Red Hand

Dunno...I'd be a bit of a disappointment to my 15 year old self, really. Not sure what I was expecting at 15, but this wasn't it.

10 years ago, i wanted the car i have now and that's about it. unfortunately, i thought i'd be taller lol

jenny2hat

My five year old mind never really wondered that far.

brummytom

10 years ago I wanted to be a fire engine.


Still working on it

You can kid yourself all you want, but a tank engine isn't anywhere near close to a fire engine. You're a train buddy, get over it.

jenny2hat

Today, I was cleaning out stuff from my past and stumbled upon a paper from first grade. A question on it was, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I wrote, "A marshmallow." I'm glad I set my standards high. MLIA.

wow.

15 year olds shouldn't be on the internet at 22:34.

Go to bed young lady!

LadyMayBelle

In short no. Never thought I would be studying to qualify as something, as ten years ago i didn't know what I wanted to be. i remember making a list with some friends as to what i would like to have achieved/done by the time I'm 25/40 etc. By 25 I thought I would be married and a journalist. Funny how things don't work out..

sky88

i wanted to be ryan giggs and david beckham im not very close to this

Larianne

Not where I'd thought I'd be 10 years ago but have just started the course I wanted to do 10 years ago, so I'm getting there, just a bit late at doing it. Also, looking back, I've done some cool things that I never thought I would do. So I'm happy. Just need to find a guy and start popping out a few kids.

4zn76tysfajdxp

I haven't done things I wanted to do by fourteen when I was eleven. So many wasted years...


On the brightside, I'm class.

What I imagined 10 years later... 10 years of great memories, 10 years of achievement and success, 10 years living a great life, 10 years of Beautiful women in my life, 10 years of wealth and riches, 10 years of complete happiness, 10 years more wisdom and knowledge just the perfect 10 years....

What do I have now that it is 10 years later.. A Fantastic job in McDonalds, another absolute great year repeating the leaving cert.life is just ****ing great, it just couldn't be any better at this moment in time!!!
