Hmm yes I have changed over the last 5 years but it does have a lot to do with your age, for example I changed a lot more between the age of 20-25 and 25-30, but now i'm 33 I don't think I will change much more.

Let's just say I feel much more awake to what is going on in the world as I get older.

Five years ago I was back in high school, shy, romantic, and a devout Catholic. Now I'm none of those things. My outlook on the world changed while I was at university, and my personality developed.

Edit: My only plan for five years from now is to have my own place.

No, I haven't changed much for the past five years and I don't think I'll ever plan on doing so.

When you are as perfect and flawless as I am, you'll understand.

I'm less depressed, in better shape, and more cynical. So, yeah.

I don't know, I'm constantly changing.

I'm 18, but I'm still going through that Identity Stage.

I've changed quite a bit. A lot of the things that entertained me when I was 15 don't do so anymore. Even video games are getting harder to enjoy :( I feel like stan in the "You're Getting Old" episode of south park.

That said, I find myself wanting to expand my horizons. I've been studying for the SAT and i'm lookin to start school.

In 5 more years? Who knows...5 years ago I always dreamed present day me would be a famous author. Hopefully I'll be holding a degree of some sort, the economy won't suck so bad, and I'll have a track record of finishing things I start.

Heres to the future ;)

definitely, but then i was 18 then. Im Scroogier, richer, thinner, slightly more decent looking, grumpier, windier, and more depressed and my cynicism has reached greater more constant levels.

5 years ago I was 18 years old, of course I changed hell of a lot in those years. My outlook on life changed completely, my physique changed a lot, now I'm (sadly) not as easy going as I used to be anymore - compared to my old 2006-self I'm pretty much a brand new person.
Funny thing is, a few months ago I met two old schoolmates and they didn't recognize me, but I was totally surprised how little they've changed.

Where do I see myself in 5 years? I have no idea, half a decade is a pretty long time, I could be a millionaire, a vagrant or dead, I have no idea.

At my age (51), five years is relatively insignificant. Although I have experienced some major life changing events in that time, I am more or less the same fella I have been for some time now. I don't expect to be much different five years hence. The only difference I see is that I will be old enough to legitimately be the cynical old bastard I always have been.

I was a lot more quieter 5 years ago compared to now. I'm still quiet but I'm becoming more comfortable speaking in front of a group. And since living on my own (on the other side of the country, far from my family) I'm much more independent as well as a bit more confident.

In 5 years I hope to keep up with the change, especially since my goal is to work with a federal law enforcement agency as a foreign language interpreter/analyst.

I'd like to think that i've change , that i will change... but what's the old saying again ; The more things change the more they stay the same. I like to see this as Heraclitus of Ephesus did "Only change is permanent".

"Change" has been a great topic of musing for my self over the years.

Change is for objective matters, a great mind won't change after it gets its Wisdom and Maturity.

ok, I'll bite.

5 years ago I was a senior in college. I was about to start my internship with Habitat for Humanity. My grandpa was on his deathbed. I took his death pretty hard...I wouldn't have considered myself depressed at the time, but I lost entire days without leaving my apartment. I never really liked him all that much, but it was rough getting over his death by myself...and when I found out my friends weren't really there for me, it just got harder. My niece was born later in 2007...She's one of the brightest spots in my world. Nobody else on Earth gets as excited to hear my voice or see me as she does.

As to how I've changed personally...I'm a lot more confident that I was...that's the biggest thing. I'm still under-employed, but I haven't been letting it get to me lately. However, I'm a go-to person at my job...I'm more aware of my brilliance than I used to be...back then I think I just thought of myself as the weird college student who doesn't drink and doesn't party. I've had to fight pretty hard for pretty much everything I have right now. I'm still not making a ton of money, but I'm now making a decent living...and for the first time in a long time I can see the silver lining in my future.

So yeah, I'd say I'm more optimistic...if only slightly more so.

5 years i was taking everything i had for granted. Didn't have any goals and no ambition to do anything whatsoever. Now i am focussed and in 5 years i plan on becoming one of the best software developers or network technicians ever. Even though it does not work out....the journey will be beautiful

The last 5 years have gone from the happiest time in my life (last few years of college), to probably the worst point I have ever been emotionally (summer of '09), going through a lot of rebuilding my life and working back towards being happy with myself again, and now I finally feel like I'm getting to a really good place in my life again. I made some big mistakes that ended up impacting my life in a possibly permanent way, but I've learned from them and I feel like a better person in the long run.

Also in that time frame I swapped US coasts and basically left everything familiar to me in a sudden and not entirely expected way. Life is crazy, man. At this point I've pretty much given up trying to predict where I'm going to be in five years, since I've experienced first hand how quickly and unexpectedly things can change. :P

Same person, I just know more about myself than I did five years ago.

In another five years... I should be done with the military and hopefully fulfilling a goal I've had for a few years now, it's something I can't take care of until my contract is up. It's going to be hard, but I got a fortune cookie monday that says my current goal will be a success.
