Title: Hello Friends!
Post by: bestariana1girl on September 02, 2018, 02:03:26 AM
As I’ve almost been on the forums for 5 years now, a lot of you have gotten to witness the awkwardness of my adolescent period. When I first joined, I was 12 years old. I’m currently 17. I’ve always felt as if I’m the baby of the family here, which has its perks. I mean, I remember during a huge period of insecurity, a lot of you came forth with your wisdom. I highly appreciated that. I haven’t always been able to keep up with the forums, but I’ve always checked up every now and then. I plan on being more active, as this forum has become very vulnerable to all that has happened over these recent months. I love this forum so much. It’s a hidden gem. It’s been around since September 5th of 2004. Meaning, in 3 days it’ll be 14 years old. I was 3 years old at this time. I wish I would have had more time to be active on it. I love how close and knit the community is, and I hope it stays that way during the migration. As some of you know, I overcame a huge “taking off highschool mask” a year or so ago, and dived deep into theatre. While I love theatre, now I’m focusing on college and maintaining my 3.8 GPA. Senioritis is kicking in. I’m really scared for the future. What is college like? Anyway, I’m returning to the forums. Hello, everyone!

Hello and welcome back! Glad to see that you've returned here (though I can't speak for myself given how long I was here myself :P)

Hi there and welcome back!! :)littlefoot :Mo

I happen to be a sophomore in college right now. My particular school (Colorado College) is pretty intense, but a lot of fun. However, I can't really vouch for other colleges because mine does things a little differently than a lot of other schools by using a block system instead of a traditional semester system.

Hey hey! Glad you made it on here!

I was 14 when I joined and the people here have also helped me through my awkward adolescence! The beauty of this forum still being around is that you can look back on posts you made back then and get a proper cringy feeling, haha. As well as agree on how much life has changed since then.

Good luck on your final year before college! I absolutely loved going to university, finally finding people who shared my love for languages and not being the odd one out. Didn't have much of a 'student life' if you will, but definitely enjoyed those years the most of my entire schooling. You'll have to work hard, face bigger challenges, but also reap better rewards. :yes

Hey and welcome back!

Best advice I can give you on college is don't mess around, study hard, get your assignments done early so you have free time later on, and never blow it off. I LOVED my last two years of college and had such a blast with the friends I'd made, the location my college was placed in (very outdoorsy) and just the fact I'd be transitioning into work, which I really wanted to do after spending most of my life in school.  :p You work really hard, I'm living proof that you CAN succeed and get a really amazing job of your dreams.  :DD I used to not believe stuff like that, but now, having accomplished what I have by never giving up through multiple closed doors and paths that didn't seem to go anywhere, I've arrived, I'm happy where I am, so just stick with it. It WILL pay off.  :smile

Well, hello there and welcome back. :rainbowwave
How is college coming along for you? What are you studying for? I hope everything is well. I'm a newer member of this forum, and so far I'm enjoying it. :D

(For anyone with no context, she did go online at around 2:40 AM EST, and I was curious if she was going to provide some update.)
