This year

There were many challenges this year.

I quit my job at a library last year. I didn't want to stay there. My colleagues tried to mob me, and the job was boring. I was going to get a job in IT. I quit, having no offer, because being surrounded by the colleagues became intolerable. I started to send my CV and make a lot of test tasks. I was rejected again and again. I applied even to other cities.

In the end, I got an offer in a neighboring city. My partner was studying at the university at that time. So, he had to stay. I moved all alone.

I rented an apartment, bought necessary things (it was difficult, by the way).My best friend came to me. She had lived in our home town and wanted to move out. But she decided to come back after seven months.

I visited my boyfriend every week. Going by bus took a big part of my weekends.

We are together now. We wanted to get married, but got sick. I'm writing it and coughing because although I don't have the sickness, I still have to suffer from remaining effects. I hate pneumonia, I'm exhausted because of this. I've been suffering since June.

To make a long story short, I've handled the long-distance relationship, my best friend moving away, the cardinal change of job, two moves, a repair and the pneumonia this year. I can't even choose the biggest challenge. Maybe it's the sickness.

Corrections

There were many challenges this year.

I quit my job at a library last year.

I didn't want to stay there.

My colleagues tried to mob me, and the job was boring.

"Mob" doesn't really make sense in this context. Did you mean your colleagues assaulted you (verbally, emotionally, physically...)?

I was going to get a job in IT.

I quit, having no offer, because being surrounded by the colleagues became intolerable.

I started to send my CV and make a lot of test tasks.

What are "test tasks"?

I was rejected again and again.

I applied even to other cities.

In the end, I got an offer in a neighboring city.

My partner was studying at the university at that time.

Only use "the" when the thing you're talking about has been mentioned earlier.

So, he had to stay.

I moved all alone.

I rented an apartment, bought necessary things (it was difficult, by the way).My best friend came to me.

She had lived in our home town and wanted to move out.

But she decided to comego back after seven months.

Come = move towards you
Go = move away from you

I visited my boyfriend every week.

GoTraveling by bus took a big part of my weekends.

We are together now.

We wanted to get married, but (we/he/I) got sick.

Who got sick?

I'm writing it and coughing because, although I don't have the sickness, I still have to suffer from its remaining effects.

I hate pneumonia, and I'm exhausted because of this.

To make a lLong story short, I've handled the long-distance relationship, my best friend moving away, the cardinal change of job, two moves, a repair and the pneumonia this year.

"Long story short" is natural phrase to begin the sentence with.

I can't even choosesay what has been the biggest challenge.

Maybe it's the sickness.

I didn't quite understand which questions were rhetorical, so I'll answer all of thenm.

By "mob," I meant mobbing. I'm not sure that's exactly what the term is in English, but I think it was borrowed from there. I wanted to say that it was bullying.

A test task is a task that IT companies give to people applying for a job. In Russia, at least, it's very common. You can complete numerous tasks and still not get an interview.

Who got sick?
We both did. I realized the mistake. Sometimes it's difficult to switch from your own language to a foreign one. I first wrote this text in my native language and then translated it. I must have missed this error.

Thanks for the explanation! That was helpful.
