Its been a better year than the last 6 since i used to be a NEET. Im 22 now and i feel like im gonna make it. tried investing in a personal trainer too but that was a waste of money,didnt do much for me besides making me focus more on stretching and hip mobility.
Just need to work out harder and more

I'm the haha poster. 19 and I just hated school and couldn't cope with the work. If you're dedicated and actually care you'll be fine.
I don't really have any direction right now, maybe trades but this still sucks.

Pretty happy

My parents and sister died in a car wreck but I hit 1/2/3/4 so it’s been alright

You've got 20 days left of the year what do you mean its gone.
Thats 20 more workouts, 20 more runs, 20 more PRs, 20 more days of bulking, 20 more days of proving to yourself that you can be better today than you were yesterday, and 20 more days of knowing you'll be better tomorrow than you were today.
Make this thread when the year is done but theres still time to be hitting them goals boys.

>How was 2018 Jow Forums?
Benched 152.5 with 3 white lights.
Squatted 230 beltless and 240 with a belt.
Benched 167 in the gym, due to mislabeled plates.

Daughter was born in August, looks like my little copy, except she has the most endearing traits of her mother.

Son started going to kindergarten, is still in the 90th centile both for height and weight. Best physical coordination of any kid in his age group.

Got certified as a powerlifting instructor.

Deadlift is still completly in the shitter, haven't pulled more than 215kg since 2017.

Ya that'll do it user. If it's any help I did trades out of highschool till now. Saved my shekels then took off and traveled when the work died down in the winter. I wish I was 19. Put yourself out there more.

Good shit frens

Rough shit, you probably are stronger than you where before though (mentally+physically), use this to your advantage; conquer 2019

The past is set, the future is not; get back in the game and keep trying, you'll make it

GF is overrated (not kidding)

the start of it was good cause got together with a new girl
of course she broke up couple of months ago and now 2018 is ending on a shitty note

2018 was one of the worst years of my life.
2019 will be pretty bad also, I can already tell.

Basically I started 2018 fit, healthy, happy, confident, mentally put together, socially competent. As we draw 2018 to a close I find I have fallen out of shape, I have a whole new list of mental illness diagnoses, I can't fucking talk to people anymore, I'm getting fucking fat and losing muscle mass, I think I'm fucking balding. Two of my fucking fingers got shot off.

Whatever. I've just gotta make it to 2021 and things will be better. None of this matters, i can recover from any of it. I can take any amount of pain. I see myself as a piece in some game, I'm just trying to get myself to a certain position where I can take certain actions and this will all be worth it.

Hang in there bros. We got this. And honestly the move to 4channel was the last sign we needed to see that Jow Forums is now completely lost. We saw it coming for years, but I honestly think this will be the last time I visit this board.

it was shit

Better than 15-16-17 combined. My anxiety, insecurity, and depression has all but disappeared for the most part. Furthermore, I am starting to gain a noticeable amount of muscle mass. I also found God. Great year, despite the fact that I'm a NEET with Asperger's, couldn't have asked for anything more.

Damn right. I'll see you in Valhalla

i am sorry user, hoping the lifts bring happiness

It was shit

I’m a failure

Using Jow Forums(nel) for years has deluded me into thinking that being a lonesome loser is a common fate. Shitposting with normies have made me notice the truth: there's no point waiting around for a magical girl to come and fix your loneliness. It's your own duty (if that's what you wish) to find a suitable woman and make her fall for you. A few posts here on Jow Forums have poked me into the right direction and I'm thankful for them.

good:
>had sex with 6 girls, which is great considering I lost my virginity last year at 22 and thought I was hopeless
>got BS in Electrical Engineering
>made new best bros whom I would die for

bad:
>been a jobless NEET for 3 months
>had sex but still no GF
>have stalled on lifts all year and made no gains because of studying

Overall I'm pretty happy

Overall really good, but I think 2019 will be even better. Going to finish pilot training, wife will hopefully get assigned here after training so no more long distance, hoping to finally hit 1/2/3/4 for reps. We're all gonna make it brahs

>>Got married in November
congrats

Thanks fren

kinda shit overall but the last few months have been pretty good. can't wait to see how 2019 turns out

Congratulations pilot bro, sounds like you've pretty much made it.

Sober for 10 months(alcohol)
Lost weight and am back down to my goal of 165 lbs.
Regularly trying to get fit

Beat up an African while on said Rome trip
Ex-gf that broke my heart moved away from my hometown and paid the toll

Still no college degree(I'm 25 and still owe the school a shitton of money even though I'm only a year away from graduating)

Finding my own apartment
Getting the exams done
Starting seriously lifting
Starting seriously eating healthy

This is going to be a very important year for me. I'm now completely alone and I need to work real hard to win everything I want in my life or otherwise I will have to admit defeat to myself which would crush me and lead to me to suicide.

This is me except I make no money cause I'm helping my parents pay the bills for their house/car/business. Been on a pretty rough spot as of late, already felt like shit before dropping out and having done so coupled with the stress and my shit sleeping pattern due to nightshifts has just made things worse. It has affected my work performance and ended up on extended probation as a result. Any tips on keeping it together bros?

I've spent this whole year thinking about a girl who I'd happily marry but she's got a boyfriend. Fucking horrible lads. We're so similar and I don't think I'll meet another girl like her but I don't want to break them up and if she breaks up with him to be with me I think it'll make me constantly doubt her so that's not an option either. I have to keep seeing her though because we're in the same friendship group at university but I've only got a short time left and then I'm moving countries so I'll have a reason to break off contact and forget about her. Not looking forward to it but at the same time it'll be nice to stop having to think about her all the time.

Just remember that you are not alone

What kind of company?

made 0 progress

Not 100% sure
I wanted to make a CBD company for over a year now but my dream was crushed over time as the CBD market exploded. It's still got a lot of untapped potential considering the legalization and growing acceptance of cannabis, but the already established companies will be the ones that thrive.

Although, with my numbers I can vastly undercut every single company I know of and still make a ton of profit so who knows?

Opening a vape shop or owning a weed farm are two other things that seem nice as well. I also had the idea of making a meal replacement like Onions or Huel except it would be dirt cheap. I think a lot of the meal replacement companies are overpricing stuff so I could see it doing well.
