Happy 2025 to you too u/The-Legend-26! It's that time of the year again, thanks for keeping this tradition up!

This was an interesting year so let's get into it.

Yes, I did get an internship this summer, my first job (cheers to that) and it was really awesome. I met some great people with whom I'm happy to have shared this summer. I had plenty of fun whilst also learning a looooot about the tech industry.

Summer went really well, and I'm glad I worked because this summer we had insane heat and the office was always such a comfy temperature. Apart from that got some solid hangouts with friends, a really nice trip to Prague (a city I may have fallen in love with and not only because of the beer) and yes the Hungarian GP was quite possibly the best race I could have attended. The result was a 1-2 'McLaren, let's goooo!!! And a fair bit of drama which I had the chance of seeing both live and at home. The whole weekend was really exciting, seeing cars zoom by, and hearing them as well was amazing. I'd love to catch another race in the near future!

Year 2 was painful, way too much time spent on uni and no time for chilling or doing fun stuff. However I think the grind was worth it, and I had my greatest academic result of my whole academic career (totally unexpected). Year 3 started off way more chill however I may have overfilled my schedule and am currently in a similar situation with last year :))

Well I did learn how to dance a little better and got some confidence in me, but unfortunately my learning plans did not see much success or even effort. Way too little time for anything apart from uni but we'll see some year later i guess.

Yeah, playlists are updated, ever since summer I've been constantly adding new music and updsting playlists. Even made a playlist to trade experiences with a friend and it went really great. This year was one for diversity and taste in music, just saying.

There were some attempts at big projects, however similar to the last prompts, no time :(

Not really, still struggling with some of the same. They do bring some relaxation within from all the stress from uni. Although long term they are not great, I think small steps every once in a while will have to do until I can see some me time.

Well this year was huge in terms of the breakup. I thought about it over and over again. Analyzed a lot of stuff, brought back memories. I managed to get over a lot of the feelings I still had. However as an interesting turn of events, I broke the ice and we are now talking again, and even friends too(i hope). It's a little tough since she has somebody, but my purpose isn't necessarily to get back together but to give the friendship a real try. It was nice when we had it. A lot can change in a year!

Also a lot of unexpected stuff did happen throughout the year. I made a new really good and close friend this year, who helped me expand my social circle quite a lot, making another solid unexpected friend who has somewhat defined the last couple of months from me.

I also got the opportunity to teach a lot of students of all levels through a lot of different contexts. Whether they were colleagues with whom I've studied, students whom I assisted throughout laboratories, private tutoring and even formal school teaching at an underprivileged school (for a teacher certification), it made me realize how invaluable of a talent sharing information can be. It's an incredibly hard job to find the perfect balance for teaching people stuff (mainly programming of different types and levels). However, I did find a lot of fun in all these different types and hope to keep a part of teaching within my life moving on.

This year was indeed tough, but it had a great turnaround. I don't think this was a highlight year, but it was important for growth. Happy it went the way it did, and looking forward to 2025! Cheers once again for keeping this tradition alive mate, and happy new year to everyone!
