the 3 month span during vanilla SF4 when I was the top ranked blanka player in the world, i won almost 90% of my matches.
You hitting the hub or the wifey tonight?It's roughly got better every year so far! Most of the year I've been working on the new family home, just working out and chilling with my kids.
Today I baked gluten free bread for the Mrs, played with the kids, cooked slow cooked honey mustard chicken, read to the kids, hit a new bench PR of 330lbs then spent a hour just doing bi's and tri's. Finished off with some ps4 and a smoke. Didn't get blown but otherwise that's top tier!
College was a better time period, but if I could reset my life I would probably go back to the start of junior high school. I could certainly make the most of reliving all of it again.There is a common cliche that
"high school is the best time of your life!"
I assume that this is an old cliché from when people used to go to high school, graduate, get a job right out of h.s. that pays well enough to afford a mortgage and feed a family and retire. If this is the case, of course h.s. is your best time, you work for the rest of your life and have a family right after that.
Today, h.s. kids are filled with angst and awkwardness.
Others commonly say:
"College is the best time of your life"
That I can see, but for me college was like 5 years of purgatory.
Perhaps a little after college graduation was high up there for me, less pressure, old enough to be self-assured, young enough to be care-free. Wasn't as broke, and I traveled a lot and had fun.
The thought of "peaking" this early in life (high school or college) sounds a bit crappy if you think about it. I'd like to think my best days are still ahead of me.
What time period was the best time of your life?

As long as I'm still breathing, every day is the best day of my life.
Now....often the things we remember as THE Best Times are selectively chosen moments that eliminate the horrors ..
Honestly I have to admit I tend to think anyone who looks back on school as the best years of their life has either had a harsh one or is perhaps a bit of an immature asshole.
I mean that's really what school is much of the time isn't it? near constant social sparing with kids being bastards to each other until most hopefully develop a nicer side to them as they grow up. People who stay at that kind of level probably find they get away with it much less and don't have anything like the social standing or success they might have in school.
You sound like you had an awful Experience in school. I guess some do. Mine wasn’t like that at all. I find my life more fulfilling now, but it could never be that fun again. We had no real stress yet. Summers were really summers. It was about experiencing life...everything was an event. My group was about 15 deep, guys and girls, and we lived for each other. Still close with 6 30 years later. College was great too, but now the stress of real life loomed.....then real life and you have a career that definitely is a fun cockblock at times.
