I just want to check in with everybody to "see" how their year is going so far. :P Personally, 2018 is going fantastic and has a happy-go-lucky vibe to it!  What about you guys?  :)

Happy Weekend!

2017 and 2018 for the most part seem better atmosphere than 2014- mid 2016

I don't know if this makes any sense but, 2010-2013 (I was 6 - 9 ::) ) had this dreamy/futuristic feel that I think has returned since the start of the Late 2010s. That cool atmosphere did seem to have "disappeared" in the Mid 2010s which is why I think people say 2014-2016 was boring.  :-\\

Anyone get what I'm saying?  ;D

mine is doing OK so far, nothing earth shattering to say right now.

Not really. The last couple of years have been especially stagnant in technology I noticed. The mid 2010s felt way more futuristic in this regard because all the latest smartphones in 2014 and 2015 had new features and we heard hype about new products but all that slowed down in the late 2010s and technology has gotten stagnant and boring. As for pop culture, it's all the same garbage more or less, little differences from the early and mid 2010s. This decade has been very consistent overall. All the changes we are noticing since the late 2000s are superficial, except for maybe the change in the social climate and Donald Trump becoming president. That is pretty big.

I guess I see it now.  :P I personally LIVE for Late 2010s pop culture though.

That's fine. For me the late 2010s culture is bad as always but I am enjoying my personal life now.  :P

2017 was a transition year in my opinion.  2018 really feels different than the mid '10s and it feels worlds away from the early '10s.  Slim95 will disagree with me, but this is how I see it.  I think one of the best examples of this can be seen in Kesha's comeback.  Compare current Kesha to what she was doing back around 2010.  I am really glad to see at least one of the big three from the early '10s (Gaga, Ke$ha, Katy Perry) was able to stage a significant comeback.

My personal life is so-so these days.  I don't see myself returning to early 2010s level of happiness any time soon, but things are better than they were in the mid '10s.

2016 was a transitional year. That's the year Trump got elected and things slightly changed, not to mention the numeric late 2010s started. 2017 was a solid late 2010s year, just as 2016 and 2018 are. As for things being better than the mid 2010s, I don't see a major difference, but that would depend on each individual and their personal life.

2018 is good for me so far. The only things I don't like right now are the unfortunate school shootings and Trump embarrassing everyone.

I agree. P.S. - Sorry that you're not as happy now.  :(

It's pretty good the bad part is that yesterday my Mothers purse was stolen with her car window broken through.

That's horrible! Was the person caught?

It's OK for me so far. We still have a whole 10 months left though so I can't say for sure.

No sadly she didn't call the police because she was gone while it happened she got her car window fixed which is good.

I actually agree with this. I have a feeling music will change a lot more this year. We will probably see trap fade away IMO but 2018 will still most likely be 2010's.

Sure it will change, but the change will be towards the EARLY 2020s, not the LATE 2010s as we have already been in the late 2010s since 2016. So the transition we will see this year will be a brand new transition into a brand new era of the early 2020s, none of it having to do with 2017 or 2016. Basically we are still at the peak of late 2010s culture right now.

It's been good. I felt like I had more drive/motivation in January 2017 vs. January 2018 though. I'm trying to figure that out.

;D

It's smooth and has a nice flow to it, so far.

I hate that I'm retaining water now, because I lifted weight. Now I have to be patient with my weight loss!  ;D

Now I wish that pop culture would catch up.  :-X  :-X  :-X

I wish I could lose some weight too!  :P

I had way more free time last year, which is why I could put more time into creative/personal hobbies. I gotta find time for it somehow. x_x

I wish I could lose some weight too!  :P


The lack of sunlight is getting to me, too. The past week has been hard on my diet. I can't help it.....100%!
But the fact that my diet lasted from October to late January, is a goal, not attainable even just two years ago. It's slow progress, but progress nonetheless. Two years ago I would have gained like 30 pounds by now.  :P

But instead, I had lost 10 pounds, and kept it off...during the winter.

Nice work! My body is weird... When I eat something I lose 2 pounds... Then when I exercise, I gain back the 2 pounds...  :o  :o  :o

But great job on sticking to a routine!  :)

slim is right its still the same garbage overall but I have to admit 2017 was good and for some reason didn't really feel to 2010s and had a good atmosphere 2011-2016 was bad I really didn't enjoy it but 2017 while it wasn't no great pop culturally year its the first year of the 2010s since 2010 that was good hopefully 2018 can keep it up and 2019.

You should take some Vitamin D. That's what I'm doing with the lack of sunlight here. Plus it doesn't help it is -30 with windchill for the past 3 days.

Personally 2018 is going fine for me. A couple bumps here and there but nothing bad I can't really complain. This year is good so far.  :)

You could by a robot. They could do some of your chores, and things, for you!  :o

I'm sorry, hope she can get her purse back if that person was caught.

How about a Roomba?

I didn't know you started weight lifting. That's awesome!  :D Strength training makes you gain weight (about 2-3 lbs/mo for newbies) but it's muscle mass.

My mom does my chores most the time but I've been thinking about getting a Roomba to help her.

I'm not sure how accurate the nutrition label is when it comes to vitamins, but milk has a lot of Vitamin D. I drink about 1-3 cups a day now. My winter blues this year isn't as bad as the last, which is funny because it barely felt like we had winter last year haha. But there are other variables too, I started exercising and my social life is more active, and Trump was inaugurated last year which gave winter 2016/2017 a very dark atmosphere, so I'm not sure it was just the milk.

I bought a huge jug of milk two months ago. I think one of my brothers used it all for cereal.  ;D

Don't you do your own chores yourself, Aren't you capable? ???

Don't you do your own chores yourself, Aren't you capable? ???


I just meant I don't clean my room (vacuuming, changing the bed sheets etc.). After I started working, when I come home, I find that my mom has usually done it for me. I still do other housework.

Don't you do your own chores yourself, Aren't you capable? ???

I'm more than capable myself but my mom does most of the chores too. Sometimes I take the trash out and I do clean my own room out but she does most of it and I just help out. It was only until my second year of university my mom stopped making my lunches (as per my request as I started putting my own food in). She loves doing it and I appreciate it.  :P

my life is somewhat stagnant but I am happy at least. But I do feel a big change coming soon in my life that may happen this year.

I remember back in the days when My Mother did my dusting and cleaning but after that My Mother hired a part-time maid to help along with the cleaning of the house but now I can do my own dusting and cleaning of my room.

I should change my vote from It's Pretty Good to 50/50. January was pretty good, but February not so much. I'm not getting a good vibe about this year overall so far.

Idk, we could have a nuclear war a few months from now for all we know.

My first two months of 2018 have been content so far. Nothing life threatening was happening to me or anything. I went to a Japanese steakhouse on Valentine's Day. The food was delicious. :)
