  1. Handing out candy. I feel like I'm too old to trick-or-treat, so now I must do what is necessary, what is now my duty.

    Where once I was the taker, now I am the giver.

  2. I just finished my Associates of Science and am planning (hopefully) to transfer.

     

    If you do not take any AP classes, high school will do jackshit to help you prepare for college. This is somewhat of a universal truth, unfortunately. To be honest, high school in general did little to prepare me. 

     

    It's funny really. I sorta wish that during your Senior/Junior year, the focus of college would be a topic of greater discussion rather than simply "Don't fuck up your ACT" and "Apply before Christmas" that it is in the states.

     

    OT:

    Difficulty and homework size depends. For example, my Social Psychology class consisted of 4 homework assignments, 2 papers, and 4 exams. That's it. That is your grade. You mess up one of those, and your grade will reflect it. My CIS class, however, consisted of 15 labs, 12 assignments, and 12 quizzes. There, you obviously had some leeway. 

     

    Some classes will be simple and straight forward. Some will be a total pain to deal with (looking at you Biology). It all depends on who you are and what you find interesting. Understanding why people are asses in situations? Ok, cool. Studying ciliated cells? Meh city.

  3.   I just want the truth.

     

    Just watch it. 

     

    Seriously, quit making a big deal out of it and just watch it. Most will tell you it was a solid season, some will tell you it was meh. You won't find out for yourself if you don't watch it, so just do it. 

     

    Enjoy the episodes you like and grumble over the ones you don't.

  4. I would love to help you find every screenshot you need, but sleep is calling and waking up early and all that jazz.
     
    However, I would strongly suggest the MLP Wiki. It has tons of screenshots of lots of characters like Twilight Sparkle. It lists the episodes first for you to check out, and shows you tons screenshots from that episode. It is seriously a gold mine.
     
     
     
    Ok, sorta lied. After a few minutes it's like walking down memory lane looking at these images. Here are some finds.

  5.  

    Don't get me wrong. I do understand the lesson, that no family is perfect, but back in the SSCS 6000 episode, Applejack already counted all her friends as 'honorary family members' and she's known all of them and worked with them to save the world, etc. So NOW she's all of a sudden super worried about image? It just didn't feel real to me.

     

     

    That's the thing though. Saying someone is like family is one thing, but having them actually be, literally, someone who belongs to the family line can be something else.

     

    When I look at my friends, I consider them to be bros; they be family to me. I've got their back and hopefully they have mine. But none of them are related to me, none know of the problems or the perks of being of my family, because I don't have to expose it to them. None know how uptight or lazy or obnoxious we can be at times, because it doesn't relate to them because it makes no sense to. We're family, but in a casual sense.

     

    All the times we've seen the Apple Family, we see them in the moment; we don't see every little in-between moment. After spending so much time with your family, you begin to notice small things that would be passive to others, small things you can't help but notice.

     

    When you find someone important to you is now gonna share all of these things on a different level, you try to put on a good show the first time; First impressions DO matter after all.

  6. I don't understand it. I really don't. I sit here, wondering, trying desperately to grasp the idea that you would willingly put someone down verbally or physically. But I can't fathom doing such things.

     

    • Don't like something? That's fine. Don't like it. Hate it even, whatever you want.
    • Don't like someone? That's fine, you don't/won't have to like everyone. Block them, ignore them, whatever you feel.

    But don't be a fucking coward and attack them when they have done nothing to you.

  7. It's just a title. It means what you want it to mean. For most, it's just that you enjoy some form of MLP.

     

    The thing is, people attach too much to a title alone; being a Brony doesn't mean all of a sudden you are more tolerant of things around you (you don't have to be), or that now you are a member of some exclusive group where only those with the title reign (you can like something and not be a part of it).

     

    Being a Brony doesn't mean you have to act nice and friendly to everyone you meet or that you don't judge/are not allowed to judge others. Should you try to be more friendly in our world and value character over appearance? I believe so. Does watching a show about rainbow colored ponies kind of help achieve/reinforce this? Depends.

     

    Not upholding these "standards" doesn't make you less of a Brony than someone who does. If you already do, great! More power to ya. If you don't, then it's your character you might want to change, not just your title.

  8. I think you're looking too far into this.

     

    In RoH, Spike "filled in" for Rainbow Dash not because he was her "replacement", but because Twilight was pissed, angry, and just wanted to get the mess over with. Her friends are acting like complete jerks and Rainbow Dash can't be found? Fuck it, lets just try what we have.

     

    Who was closest by? Spike. Who kept reminding her of the mess/who was missing? Spike. 

  9. Last semester was Calc I. This semester is, well look at that. Calc II. I was always pretty good at math in highschool but this college stuff is miserable. :(

     

     

     

    I JUST REALIZED I'M PROCRASTINATING ON MY CLAC II HOMEWORK ON THE FORUMS AS I TYPE THIS. IS IT ANY WONDER?

     

     

    I just started Calc II this semester as well and am already procrastinating on homework that needs to be done too. (and after 2 years, sorta  missing Highschool)

     

     

    Let's feel these feels together.
