There’s been some reminiscent activity on Facebook today, and that got me thinking: where was I 5 years ago? Life was very, very different and I literally had no idea that I would be where I am now, today.
5 years ago (Feb. 2007) I…
- Was driving a 1995 Audi 90cs Quattro – probably one of the very few things I REALLY miss from this era
- Was finishing my senior year in high school
- Was also going to TH Pickens Tech for photography
- Thought I was going to be a photographer with my life
- Probably hadn’t yet applied to Metro
- Had only been working at Wal Mart for 9 months – was still a cashier
- Hadn’t yet met the love of my life
- Still lived at home – would for the next 2 years
- Had absolutely no idea how to code or design
- Still watched way too much TV
- Didn’t know that Top Gear existed
- Barely read anything but crummy car magazines
- Definitely wasn’t comfortable in my own skin yet
- Was quite disorganized
- Hadn’t yet discovered aviators
- Didn’t like biking or bikes
- Didn’t exercise
- Barely spent anytime outdoors (this is very unfortunately happening again – I must change this)
- Would have hated beer
- Hated Macs (wow)
- Spent all my money on gas and food
A lot happens in 5 years!
Where were you 5 years ago?
