Your biggest accomplishment so far in life?

Not dying for long enough to reach some level of existential understanding. I feel like I have my life more "figured out" now than I used to think would be possible for me, and I do feel some sense of accomplishment from that.

This too, yeah. Definitely this.
 
You know, now that I think about it, I really haven't accomplished anything special in my life. Damn. I guess graduate from high school? :|

That's not an accomplishment.
 
Shattering the hopes and dreams of noobs all over the wide expanse that is the internet. Solving a moderately difficult prisoner's dilemma problem in a few minutes which took my professors a few weeks which has reinforced my delusion that i have a modicum of capacity in spite of the ever expanding cesspool of mediocrity that is my life. My penis(i guess that is not an accomplishment....yet). *cue nickname*
 
Rode my bicycle from Hamilton, On to Vancouver, BC. Arrived about two weeks ago. Took me 42 days, and was the best experience of my life so far.

Poor guy, 42 days without GAF :(
 
As I'll just be starting college this fall, my biggest accomplishment so far has been my senior year of HS when I was president of Student Government.
 
I wrote two novels.

Graduated college and high school both with a cumulative GPA of about 3.6 (This is in the US. I'm seeing other numbers here which must be from europe or something where they go higher than 4.0).

Damn, I respect that. I always see bikers on the trail I usually hike/walk and really want to get one. Problem is they're pretty pricey for me right now. :/
 
I have a few, but they all were part of the same reform I hoped to force on myself.

- Not only did I get into college, but I was accepted to multiple universities (First UC Berkeley and now UC Santa Cruz). This is pretty amazing considering that I barely graduated High School, and by barely, I mean a teacher had to basically gift me a C that I had no business getting for me to graduate. I graduated with exactly 220 units, and I had under a 2.0 GPA. I then went on to community college, and my first year and a half there was made up of me dropping classes before the withdraw date, W'ss and a few F's. I was dismissed from that community college, which is the point where I woke up. I went to another community college, and was able to maintain a hair above 3.9 and transfer to UC Berkeley.

- I have dropped down from 351 pounds to the low to mid 220s in just over 19 months. I started doing this around the same time I got my shit together in school. I'm 6'1 1/2 and naturally thick, so I'm not exactly sure where I want to drop down to, probably a tone/muscular 195-205 if I had to guess.

- My personality. I used to be a HUGE fucking douche, and unfortunately I burned a lot of bridges because of it. I'm pretty much the opposite now, although in many ways, I think I've become too nice of a guy. This last quarter proved that, so I'm definitely going to be trying to regain some of the old me, but just enough so people don't walk all over me/take advantage of me.
 
Thread's full of younglings, so it would've been a better idea to list your biggest accomplishments AND what your goals for the future are.
 
Probably buying my house at 24. But the thing that probably gave me the most "accomplished" feeling was paying off all of the rolling/CC debt that I accumulated when I was 21/22/23... Felt good man to make that last giant payment.
 
Graduating HS recently (typical). More importantly, surviving through my awful situation growing up (moved 20 times :\). I could have easily turned out awful.

I've always wondered why obtaining a Juris Doctorate doesnt get the you the title of Dr.?
 
Getting into a college honor society. My high school education was almost non-existent despite me still graduating ("homeschool" ftw), yet I've been totally going beast mode on college.

Also winning something like 30 Yugioh tournaments in a row back starting with the Magic Ruler set. Tournaments were packed with around 30 people too. Whenever I walked in, those guys were always like "Oh shit, there's Josh!". Feels good man
 
Scored a goal from 50 yards out in a high school soccer game.

My sliver of self confidence has always come from sports
 
Biggest Accomplishments
- Losing 50 lbs since high school
- Being able to run a mile without stopping. (may not sound like much but I was obese and never exercised until after high school)
- Graduation rank 5 out of 250 students. Not bad considering 2 of them went to harvard and one went to some other ivy league school
- I watched the move "The Pest" in it's entirety.

Hope to Accomplish
- Graduate & get a job pertaining to my major.
- Move to one of the coast.
- Beat persona 3
- Do everything in my power to not watch the pest again.
 
being the father of 2 wonderful children and the husband of a beautiful perfect woman.

and surviving this long on gaf as a hardcore conservative!

GODDAMN. You must have been rolling.
 
Getting into the game industry. It's been a lifelong dream of mine and I'm glad I was able to make it happen.

Just turned 26. I want to be out of this mountain of debt by the time I'm 30 but I don't know if I have enough time to make that happen. I'd also like to be financially independent and be able to travel all over the world at 40. It's terrifying to think that's only 14 years away though.
