What were you doing in 2005? What were your goals? What were you ambitious about? Did you fulfill your goals your dreams?

  • Did you mean 2025?

    Edited to add: Please, put the question as your title. TY!

    No guess I should change title. I'm just wondering what life was like for everyone in 2005

    Oh! That’s cool!! Leave it as is!!!

  • Idk i was in 5th grade so I was probably being a very dramatic pre-teen

    I met my lifelong bestie in 2005

  • It was peaceful and simple. Hardly remember anything that stands out about that year for me.

    Bus bombing in London.

  • In 2005, I was 25. My goals were to get a better position where I worked, and to get pregnant with our first child. I accomplished both of those, however the later eliminated the former in 2006.

    Looking back, I should have been more focused on my career at that age. With wisdom comes knowledge, and hindsight is 20/20!

  • I was in middle school. Honestly wasn’t the happiest kid. My parents were going through a nasty divorce, so my life wasn’t the best at the time.

    I wasn’t very focused on school. I had done very well in elementary school, but really started to slip after my parents’ divorce. My only real goal at the time was to get an xbox 360. I had saved up all year for one. I remember being jealous hearing about other kids getting xbox 360s for christmas. Luckily, I had saved up enough money to get one in early 2006. It’s the small victories that count haha

  • I was using my pink Motorola RAZR flip phone, updating my my space, including my top, eight friends and living life to the fullest. I was in college, making friends and felt like I had way more time in the world. I really did and wish I had gotten out a little bit more. I was going through a lot then and trying to overcome some stressful situations.

  • I was 19 and a single mom to an infant. I was still trying to figure out what to do with myself and how to support my son. It was a really rough year.

  • I was 3 and decided I did not want to immigrate so my mum, grandma and 3 grown men had to wrangle me onto a plane where I promptly screamed for 2 hours straight

  • In 2005 I was way more optimistic than informed, thought I had everything figured out lol. My goals were pretty simple and very dramatic at the same time, I wanted my life to feel meaningful fast. I didn’t hit those exact dreams, but looking back I’m kinda glad because I grew into different ones. It feels less shiny now but way more real.

  • I graduated highschool then headed to boot camp across the country in my first plane ride

  • I was getting ready to drop out of college and follow my passions of riding bikes, playing music and taking photos. I’m still following those dreams now, but I went back to school in 2010 and earned a new media art degree, and now I work at a top tier architectural firm building fancy houses. I wish I had all the free time I had back in 2005!

  • I ended up in the hospital for 5 days.

  • I was 6. Preschool was good, we had plenty of awesome toys, blocks, cars. Lotta friends to play around with. No bills, responsibility. Life was good.

  • I had a good full time job, but I spent a lot of the year training and preparing for a deployment to Iraq with my National Guard unit. (We left in January 2006.)

  • I was being born that March.

  • All I remember about 2005 is falling into a deep depression over losing the best job I ever had because the company moved, and obsessing over Hurricane Katrina. Not my best year.

    Right there with you. Not my best year. I hit rock bottom and got sober that year. Did a lot of damage, hurt a lot of people, but it was also the year I turned things around.

  • That’s when I was born lol

  • I was being birthed. My goal was to breathe and eat.

  • I was about to be made redundant for the third time.

  • Ambitions were simple, just want to be happy and secure.

    1. I peaked too soon.
  • in 2005 i became a big sister… i was 3 lol

  • I wasnt born

  • At this time in 2005 I was in and out of hospitals for my younger brother. This had a significant impact on my life in every way. I was 6 years old.

  • I was 11yo so not much tbh. Probably stressed out from a new school

  • I started grad school. Graduated in 2007, started paying dues/building a resume, and got my dream job in 2016. Still have that job and while nothing is as good as the fantasy, it's not too far off. 2005 was probably a pretty good year for me.

  • My biggest goal was probably “beat this level in a game”

  • hehe i was in 5th and 6th grade 😁

  • Graduated High School.

  • Main goal: Watch Dora and Barney on repeat

  • Being a young, single parent to an amazing 2 year old. I was in college, going for my degree in education (I won't ever be able to utilize my degree), still being a raver, just living life. Nothing too big!

  • 3 years old. Family moving from Detroit from Houston. Hurricane Rita. Goals? Learn every kind of apple (my class had a whole unit on apples for some reason).

  • I had just started my new company and dating a new girl. That's was a very optimistic time for me.

  • Being birthed

  • Pretty simple, worked as a manger at a pizza joint. Same town I’m living in now. Sat around and skated played video games, taking trips up to Seattle for about 6 months to see my now ex “wife” no kids, plenty of money. Bills paid on time if not in advance. It was bliss.

  • I was in art school. I was into MySpace and going to hardcore shows. 

  • the height of the real estate market, I put my property up for sale

  • Having weight loss surgery.

    Fulfilled every expectation.

  • I graduated high school that year.

  • I graduated that spring and turned 18 that summer. I went to the Warped Tour with my boyfriend. I moved states and started going to college. On the first day of college my boyfriend, who I thought was going to have a long-distance relationship with me, dumped me via MSN messenger my first day of college. I used an olive green flip phone and drove a 92 jeep grand Cherokee. I had a few jobs working at fast food places.

  • The year I graduated high school

  • I was 3. Probably didn't do much

  • I would've been in 7th grade, and become obsessed with skateboarding. I was just starting to like girls, too. Very awkward year for me lol

  • Had so much energy!!! Worked a full time job, a part time job, and still managed to hang out with my sweetie almost daily. Good times.

  • I was in grade 9 and then 10. I thought I was going to be a comic book artist, i originally wanted to be an architect but I hated math in grade 9.

    I did not become a comic book artist. I became an engineer.

  • I’ve bought a Prius,a Rolex, a house and met the girl I’ve married 3 years later and divorced her for another woman 8 years later.

  • I'm 2005 I was 5 years old in kindergarten

  • playing games when I should have been learning the internet :/

  • I was 9. So simple. Peaceful. No mental illness yet. Just enjoying the safety of family and the joy of friendships.

  • I was in tenth grade. Facebook was just coming on the scene for high schoolers and it changed the way we all interacted with each other. Pretty crazy to experience firsthand

  • Great. Really great

  • 2005 I went to Mesopotamia! Also known as Iraq. 🇮🇶

  • I was 9 so I was pretty focused on Star Wars battlefront and Pokémon emerald. Also baseball and basketball. My grandmother always brought me some nice books too. Miss her.

  • Joined the marine corps right after highschool in 04 Feb 2005 I was shipped of to Iraq for the entire year….

  • Living in Seoul … teaching English, living the Korean nightlife, eating amazing food

    … absolutely awesome

  • Drugs. Bad ones. I’m so happy I am not doing that anymore. Days when I get down on myself, I remind myself that I’ve come a long way since 2005.
