8. It's tough to say.

Oct 2014

2008 was both a good and a bad year for me. It was good because it was the first time I was old enough to vote, and it was my last year of high school. At the same time, I was struggling with shyness and had to experience going to the prom alone, and I lost contact with all my friends after I graduated (I forgot to ask them for their contact info).

2000, 2003, and 2009 were also a little bad, too. 2000 was because of the (s)election (even though I was only 10 at the time and didn't care much about politics at all). 2003 was bad because that was when the Raiders lost the Super Bowl and were last relevant. And 2009 was bad because it was the first time I got robbed. I was robbed at a bus stop on my way to an A's game, and the police never found the two guys who robbed me.
