Ponies definitely help reduce schoolwork stress, but they can easily become a distraction. I try my best not to have ponies become a form of procrastination, but inevitably it happens sometimes. (I can't help myself, the show is just so awesome!) School started for me not too long ago, and so far I've been able to keep MLP mostly as a stress reliever. I'll study for a good amount of time, then take a good hour or two to just sit back and browse MLP related stuff on my computer, then commence studying. Not sure if I'll be able to keep this up, but hopefully I will be able to do so. Besides ponies, there are also other things that help to alleviate the stress that school brings. Video games, card games, talking with friends, and music are all great ways, but just like ponies, they can become a distraction if you let them. Luckily I have a good amount of self-control, and these things help keep me from going insane when school gets tough.

The way I see it, if one enters the portal to the human world, not only is one's body changed from a pony to a human (or vice versa), but one's language is also changed to understand the language in the other world. For all we know, the human world could be speaking something that sounds like complete gibberish to the ponies, but it all makes sense once a pony steps into that world. If a pony's body is changed to resemble those of the human world, it makes sense that a pony's language would be modified as well. It makes things a hell of a lot more convenient, as Twilight could simply jump into the books in the human world instead of having to learn a whole new language first. It's nothing verified (for all we know, both worlds could simply have English as the default language), but it's a pretty plausible possibility. As for the scene involving Sunset Shimmer being able to read Twilight's illegible text, as Dusknight Haze said, Sunset Shimmer could totally tell it was Twilight, because who else in high school would have such illegible handwriting? Once Sunset Shimmer saw the sad attempt at writing, that itself made it clear as day to her that Twilight was out there trying to stop her. It's likely that Sunset Shimmer did something similar herself when she first entered the human world, strengthening her belief that the writing belonged to Twilight even more.

When I first got into the show, I was a huge Fluttershy fanboy. I absolutely adored her, and I found her to be very relatable as well. I thought that she was always going to be my favorite pony, but as I got more and more into the show and its fandom, I started to become more and more interested in Rainbow Dash. I didn't care much for Rainbow Dash at all when I first started watching the series, and I found her to be really insensitive at times. As the show progressed though, her good qualities became more and more noticeable, and I really loved seeing that positive character change. For example, in season 3, it's plain to see that she's become much more supportive and friendly toward Fluttershy, and she's not as conceited with her friends. I really loved seeing this change, because it's what the show is all about: ponies learning lessons in friendship and changing for the better as a result. It's true that this applies to all the members of the Mane 6, but it was so much more noticeable for Rainbow Dash to me, since I found her to be rather unpleasant in the very beginning. I ended up really liking her because of this, and she also became more beautiful physically to me. I just couldn't get enough of RD at that point, and she kept climbing and climbing until she overthrew Fluttershy as my favorite pony. I'll always love Fluttershy, but Rainbow Dash really appealed to me over time, and it's interesting to look at things now and compare them to how things were back then. If there's anything I love, it's the feeling of something or someone you didn't care for initially to totally grow on you, and Rainbow Dash did just that.

You know you're a brony when you're eating a PB&J sandwich and you pretend it's a peanut butter & zap apple jam sandwich. You know you're a brony when you want to learn how to play the piano just so you can cover the MLP songs on it.
