I had hypomania last summer preceded by a couple of months of anxiety/depression. I ve been doing great recently, is it definitely bipolar disorder?

Dr. Georges Karam Psychiatry
If you stick to the strict definition of bipolar, yes you are. However medicine is sometimes not black or white and it may be that you will be ok (hopefully) for the rest of your life. In case you feel the symptoms are re-emerging, it is very important to talk to your doctor right away before it gets worse.
Good luck!

This is not necessarily a bipolar disorder .sometimes

states similar to what you have described would occur 

 only once and never recur again . However ,I would like to know (your age ,whether there is afamily history of bipolar disords or not ,and whether you have been prescribed medications or not ?).
