For me it would be the year I turned 26. I got married, just moved from LA to NY, quit a very stressful job, and just generally had the most stress/anxiety/depression-free time of my life.
What about you?
-
20-21 when I was studying abroad in Spain, traveling Europe, etc. Time of my life!
-
Junior year in high school studying abroad. Best year of my life and I knew it every minute, which is not too common!
-
19 years old - sophomore year of college. So much fun!
-
I would relive my 21st year. That year I started dating DH, got engaged, and got married 3 weeks before my 22nd birthday. So many great memories.
-
Sooo many good years. But I almost feel guilty picking a year before DH and LO (but yeah, it would probably be somewhere in my 20's before I met Dh).
Honestly, if I had a time machine, I'd rather revisit specific amazing weeks in my life than the whole year.
-
Sophomore year.
-
19 - the year I moved to and lived in New York! I'd do a few things differently too
-
One of the years I did a lot of field work. Either the year I was 20 and I was working as a traveling archaeologist in Idaho, just met DH, partying at school, etc. Or the year I started working as a field biologist, and I was 25.
Both times I was in incredible shape, and worked outside every day all day. They were also both really stressful times, but I learned so much each time.
-
26.5-27.5. The first year of my marriage was the easiest, most fun, least stressful year of my life.
-
The semester I spent abroad in Spain. Best semester ever! I was 21, fell in love for the first time, traveling around Europe...so great!
-
Could I choose the year I studied abroad in college but take LO & DH with me?
-
2013 - my last moments of pregnancy and life with a newborn - the moments went by way too fast. Not only that, it was the ONLY year I can recall where I wasn't fixated on TTC and IN and IVF, ya know?
-
Maybe for fun I would pick senior year of high school or sometime in early college because things were so easy, but not because it was the best time of my life. Sounds cheesy, but I really think the best time so far is right now and the best is yet to come!!
-
The year I was 26 going on 27. I was a carefree single girl living the dream life in London - working a fabulous job, living in a beautiful flat in a great neighbourhood, travelling as much as my 46 days annual leave from work would allow (I visited four continents that year and numerous European countries on weekend breaks!), surrounded by a great group of friends and had an amazing social life, not to mention an amazing wardrobe
I love my life now, but those four years of living abroad and travelling around the world were the absolute best years of my life. Completely independent with nothing to tie me down (other than a job I loved that paid the bills), financially comfortable with no major responsibilities, and time to live my life for me and me alone. It was amazing.
-
Honestly right now, my year when I was TTC and pregnant with T. Lately I've been so nostalgic about missing my pregnancy. I don't know why. Some days I wish I could just relive all the excitement and joy.
Besides that, probably when I was 18-19.
-
2008: I had moved abroad that year and I was sooo stressed and worried. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have gotten so worked up because everything worked out.
-
20. Lots of fun and great experiences. Great, carefree, healthy lifestyle
-
21! The year I fell in love.
-
My sophomore year of college. IT WAS SO FUN. All my friends were at college. The next year, so many of them graduated
-
I'm with @Danizaur. My son is now 8 mos and I'm missing that time I was pregnant with him. I also realize that my pregnancy experience was much more pleasant than most.
Other than that I'd re-live 25. I met my husband, enjoying my time with friends.
-
Err, I don't know! Def no time before I met DH!
-
Do I have to live in the same way? If I could relive a year again but do it differently, I would relive my senior year of college. I would go study abroad instead of doubling my major. Totally didn't help me and I missed out on an awesome experience.
-
Junior year of college. I would have dumped my college boyfriend before I studied abroad and lived it up!!
-
The year DH and I met and fell in love was a great one!
-
Freshman year of college. I would break up with my then boyfriend and have had a lot more fun!
If I couldn't change anything, then either I would still pick a year in college ( I really miss where I went to school). Or the first year I did the volunteer corps I was in after college. It was really tough, but I met DH, had a ton of fun, and felt like I was doing something important.
-
@MrsKoala: ditto! I did a summer abroad instead of a semester because if my boyfriend. Darn college boyfriends!
On the other hand, if it hadn't been for him I wouldn't have moved across the country after graduation to get away from him and then wouldn't have met DH!
-
The year DH and I dated before getting married... falling in love with him was amazing, I really loved my job, just got my first car and my spiritual life was so much more in order than the past few years. 2011 was great
-
When I was 19 maybe.. only because I spent the summer traveling. I'd do lots different, but the travel was amazing. Or when I was 22, same reason, took an amazing trip that I'd love to reexperience
-
24 -- I had a great group of friends, I met DH late that summer, was living with my best friend in a great apartment, and just having a great time being single/newly dating. Very stress free!
-
I honestly don't know that I would. I've had wonderful years, and not so wonderful years, but I don't think I'd want to go backward. Even though I'd love the sleep and freedom (mostly sleeeeep!) of a child-free person, and really enjoyed some fun, care-free younger years, I can't remember what the world felt like before my daughters joined it, and I truly believe my best years are still in front of me.
-
19! I was meeting lots of cool people, having fun, living on my own, busy being brave and stupid, really!
-
My first year of university. Met amazing people, loved my classes, and my relationship with DH (then boyfriend) was strong and carefree. Life was a lot of fun!
-
This year - birth of my first baby! It's going by way too fast.
I never knew how much I would love being a mother or wanted children until I had her.
-
25-26 - our dating, engagement, and first year of marriage years! It was bliss. Great job, friends were all still really connected and local, we were happy and carefree and young.
-
This year, for sure. Life just gets better and better as time goes by.
-
2007- I would like to relive the year that I got engaged and married, just to do things differently. Little did I know it would have been the last time my family would be completely together. My father died a few months after my engagement party from a stroke. I should have cherished those last moments with him and spent more time with him. I would have done so many things differently to be a better daughter. It was a bittersweet year. My wedding day was one of the happiest days of my life (prebaby days).
Also 2013- the year I became a mother. I loved everything about becoming a mom, loving someone unconditionally at first sight, and holding my baby for the first time was a dream come true. That moment was just pure joy and was the single best moment of my life.
-
Probably 20-21. I was a hot mess, and if I knew then what I know now I'd be more confident and treat myself a lot better. No long term consequences other than some shame, but it's really the only thing I'd go back and change.
To relive a time I loved, I'd probably pick the past year- so from when my daughter was 5 months until now. -
22 when I was studying abroad. Will always be one of the most
Fun, interesting, crazy years. -
Hmm can I save it and choose a year in the future?
I've had lots of great years but I think life is getting better. I didn't love my school years, and I'm happiest with my kids even though there is some stress. I guess none of the past years really stick out as wanting to relive them.
