Description:

Please answer the following questions. You may skip any ONE question as long as you describe why you want to skip it. Please SNAIL MAIL your partner the answers and include the questions so they don't have to look back at the swap while reading. Complete answers are required. Please do not leave one or two word answers (a couple like that are ok but most should be complete sentences or maybe even a couple sentences or more).

'Last year' refers to 2015 and 'next year' refers to 2016.

What did you do in 2015 that you had not done before?

Did you keep your New Year's Resolutions/goals for the year and will you make/set more for next year?

Did anyone you know give birth? Or become pregnant?

Did anyone you know die? Or have a serious illness?

What places have you visited?

What would you like to have in 2016 that you lacked in 2015 (doesn't have to be a physical thing)?

What date from 2015 will remain etched in your memory and why?

What was your biggest achievement this year?

Did you suffer illness or injury? How about your family?

What was the best thing you bought?

Where did most of your disposable income go (money leftover after you pay for food, transportation and shelter)?

What song will always remind you of 2015?

What do you wish you would have done more of?

What do you wish you would have done less of?

What was your favorite new TV program? Or if you didn't pick up any new shows, what are you still watching.

What was the best book you read this year?

What did you do on your birthday and how old were you? Did you feel any differently?

What political or social issue stirred you the most?

Who was the best new person you met?

What changed at your job?

What changed in your home?

Describe how a relationship changed.

Do you think you are still the same person that you were at the beginning of the year?

Summarize the year in three words or less. Bonus points for doing it in one word. Explain.

How have people around you changed?

What have you learned throughout the year? (Other than crafts)

What was your favourite outfit for warm weather? Cooler weather?

Did you learn any new crafts or techniques? What was your favourite thing you made?

What changed about your physical appearance? (Hair? Wrinkles? New makeup style? Etc)

What are your hopes and dreams for the new year?

I know it's a busy time of year so I made it due after the holidays. Maybe you can work on it while waiting in lines! And if anything changes you can fix it after the holidays. :)

I will be more lenient about allowing newbies and those with bad ratings. Newbies must have well-filled out profiles with a minimum of 4 sections or paragraphs. I will angel after you contact your partner (or try to) at least twice and rate a 1. If you were already my partner, I'll pass along someone else's answers.

Full disclosure. I found the first 20 of these online with no credited source. I modified some and authored the last 10 myself. I'd give credit and/or ask for permission if I knew who to ask!

I like these questions. They're thoughtful. Thinking about asking my BF if he'd swap answers with me because they are such nice questions. :)

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does it have to be handwritten or can it be printed?

MCGalaxy 12/28/2015 #

I missed the email version so I'm going to do the snail mail swap though I've had issues with international mail in the past so I confess I am a little hesitant

MCGalaxy 12/28/2015 #

But this swap looks too fun and thought provoking to resist it

Why would u want to know if anyone died this year? I went to a funeral this year, its not something i like to talk about,

thebragal 12/28/2015 #

@monkey2015 You may choose not to join or there is an allowance for you to skip one question.

thebragal 12/28/2015 #

Handwritten is fine as long as it is legible.

Funny that the question monkey2015 doesn't like is the one that made me join. My mum died and I feel a great need to write about it and share with others, even strangers :/

@MelinaBea <3 xxxx

So, I started typing long winded answers to these, and then our printer died. LOL YAY ... I hope to god we get the new one before the deadline, but I guess I should probably start writing these out soon just in case ...
