Well I thought this might be a good topic to start out the new year, just share your experiences for this year.

I'm going to be honest with you all, 2015 was one of my worst years. I was hospitalized for weeks on end and my home isn't the best at the moment. But throughput the year I had a second home, The Round Table where people didn't see me as some weird fat kid who likes dinosaurs but rather saw me as Nathan. I know I certainly haven't had the worst year when compared to other people but it certainly hasn't been easy. So as we move on to a New Year I wan't to thank everyone for their kindness and it certainly is good going into the new year with friends.

Here's to 2016!

Really like this topic idea. :)


2015 was a really exciting year for me; one of my best and worst. It had a fantastic start, honestly. I became a legal adult and graduated highschool. I also got to meet a few members from here in real life for the first time. I had a wonderful time traveling, and that experience in all made this last summer the best of my life so far.

From there it got less great. I got in a car accident, and really really sick. That's been rough on me, and the lifestyle changes that come with it are pretty difficult too, but I know I'll make it through. If anything, these things have encouraged me to live my years to the fullest.


So here's to 2016! May it be as worthwhile as 2015 was.

Eh this year was a decent one for me. Despite freshman year of highschool starting in September, my anxiety had me freaking out a year in advance. I was under constant stress due to that, but aside from that the years been great. As well, I finally fixed my computer after having it riddled with viruses for the majority of the year so being a part of the community again was a plus. Overall this years been pretty good and I hope 2016 has a similar year in store.

2015 was a good year for me.

It first started (well like 2 days before New Years) with me joining the staff team here. That was a big step up for me. I went on to make a ton of new friends here and strengthened my friendships with a lot of them. I even got to "meet" (some would use a different term) Susan at the SDG zoo this summer. I think I improved a lot as an artist, especially since taking graphic design this summer. Another really big thing for me was learning to drive. I got my learner's permit in February and my license in October, and on Christmas I got my first car! I got to visit Washington D.C. in July on a leadership trip and learned a lot about leading and what it means to be a leader. In September I completed the major milestone of turning 16. 2016 really was a great year!

I can't wait to see what 2016 has in store for me!

لماذا ؟؟

it was both good and bad to me
I got to see my cousins that live in the UAE for the second time in my life, I got to go to my grandfather's farm and saw real life wild bee-eaters and goldfinches for the first time in my life.
that was in summer vacation, but in school it was not so good. I got so many diseases and infections, I stayed absent for 1 or 2 weeks whenever I got sick.

as for the last month of 2015, the worst thing that happened was me getting a horrible grade in a math exam

2015 started out well. I had visited Guatemala and finished adjusting in my new school and having good grades. However things weren't exactly perfect.

I got some nasal congestion, which I have had for like the whole year xD , got into some conflicts, and despite that continued doing good academically.

Then summer came. I didn't do much except for being active here until school returned. I moved to the other class from the same grade and everything came back again, one guy kept threatening me though, and then I became older at November, the pizza was awesome though.

Things started getting back on track. On November I visited on Oregon for the first time and on December I got this letter that I was eligible to go into this test and despite getting a horrifying grade in Music class I'm still here alive. Last year was decent and hopefully 2016 will be far better.

Let's see...

2015 has been a good year for me. I graduated from high school, travelled as far east and as far south as I've ever been in my life (South Dakota and California, respectively) and got my first job. I saw wild pronghorn, foxes, turkeys, mule deer, night heron, and a burrowing owl, and got within a foot of a captive snow leopard. I spent as long a time away from home as I've ever spent before, and I feel as if I've grown a little in my faith.

All in all, a very good year. I look forward to what this one will bring.

Pull my finger!

Probably saw a lot more animal species, even with restrictions, than I have any other year. So I can say I'm happy :)

2015 for me was great, the worst sickness I got was a pretty bad cold, I traveled through most of the US, went to Yellowstone NP, where I saw and got close to wild deer and bison, went to the San Diego Safari Park, the Santa Barbara Zoo, moved back to Nova Scotia from California, began and ended my ZT2 designing career for now, and went the farthest west and south I've ever been (Oregon and San Diego, California). Last year was so great, I've probably run out of luck and am going to have a terrible 2016.

This year wasn't bad. I went to Washington DC (though it was so hot outside!) And we got our chickens. In the fall, school started up and I was content, even though I didn't have the best Algebra grade. I started learning how to design. There was a ton of drama between my friend and I, but it's mostly sorted out. But I'd say that 2015 was fairly good.

Well, we got both a new Star Wars and Jurassic Park movie last year, already establishing 2015 as an amazing year.

It was also the first year I actually completed a large zoo in ZT2; something I never thought I'd do. Like, ever.

Personally, I realized that relationships are not worth the trouble, that corgis are the greatest animals on the planet, that Filthy Frank is God, and that I have a strange love for Monster Girls.

So all in all, a very good year by my standards.

School-wise, 2015 was one of my worst years ever. I failed more classes than I should have, and I'll have to bear with the consequences throughout 2016. It's not that bad that it would really affect my entire life...if I don't continue this trend :P So, for 2016, I hope to do a lot better in school.

Private life was pretty awesome. Not going to elaborate too much on this ;)

TRT had a rough start, though I finally managed not to care too much. Lost my staff position but I don't really see that as a bad thing. The last two months, the atmosphere's been great too, better than it was during the rest of the year at least. Met some great new people in the RTZI.

So in hindsight, 2015 was a good year. If 2016 is just as good, I'll be happy.
