Three years ago, I was 19, in my second year of college and just getting the hang of all things academic.
Can't say too much about when I was 19. It wasn't too much of a memorable year actually.
20 and 21 have been fantastic. And a week and a few days from now, I shall be entering 22. :)

3 years ago, I'd say I was too concentrated on my own things and didn't really socialize much. Compared to now, I've opened up to quite a lot of people after being around a lot of people at school.
I used to have such a negative thought on life, in other words, pessimistic. Way too pessimistic for my own good, after all. I have a different view on what life is now, though. I've managed to try so many new things, because I've looked at the things I was challenged to do differently.
I still can't believe the kind of music I used to like though. The kind of music I like now is about the same, but I still like the same kind of beat to it and such. I'm disappointed of the music I listened to perhaps, say, 6, years ago.
What hasn't ever changed was my love for hobbies such as piano, drawing, and reading.

I've changed a lot...
I have more friends, I talk more in school, and I've learned to draw in public a lot more. I used to not even participate in class or even pay that much attention. I'm glad I changed, personally.

3 years ago: Slowly gaining back a little confidence in myself, since the year before I was a depressed, insecure, and obese (190lbs, 5'4") 16 year old girl. I was really anti-social because of my weight issue ever since elementary school. I was always put down by people at school who made fun of me for my weight, and even my mom who'd tell me how ashamed she was for having an overweight daughter.
Now: More confident. I've lost 70 lbs (In a healthy way) since then and it's made me feel a lot better about myself and how I look. I'm still not -very- social irl, but I'm trying to talk to people more in college and get more involved by joining clubs. I just moved to AZ after living in WA for 18 years, so it's hard not knowing anyone, but I've made a few friends already.

3 years ago I was 17, and I wasn't really into computers like I am now. I only used the computer for homework, and to watch an anime or two. That's it. I hated Myspace and Facebook and whatever else they had back then. Now it's rare to see me without my laptop, I even bring it with me when I leave the house. I still hate Facebook and Myspace and Twitter and whatnot.
I was also a depressed suicidal mess. I had no friends, no girlfriend, and nothing ever seemed to go right for me. Now I got a few friends and a girlfriend. Things still don't really seem to go right for me all the time, but it doesn't bother me as much. I guess when you grow up and become an adult, you realize the world will always screw you and there's no point in whining about it.
