[rolle 320]

This year I learnt that a potato is probably better at talking to people than me. I learnt that love is just a chemical produced by the brain. I learnt that most people I know hate me. I found out about mlp. I found out that I am more emotional then the average person. I found out how to become the most perfect human being in the world but I choose not to because it's a pain in the ass. Overall I haven't progressed much.

[Rolls Royce 606]

Some of the stuff I learned in 2012 were...

-How amazing MLP and and fandom are,

-How to say "Shut your face, Grandma" in German,

-How to not take CoD so seriously, (thank you KYR SP33DY)

-How annoying city driving is,

-Not to make a small side hobby your major, (I'm changing from a graphic design major to a computer science major)

Well first, I learned that you should never believe Mayan calendars even if it is classified as doomsday.

 

I also learned that, when your in a nice community like this one that can offer you friendship and brohooves. I think this community fits the description of a wide community of Ponies that really learned a good way to treat people.

Dear Princess Celestia, 

 

This year, I learned not to count a television show out, simply because it's intended audience is not for you.  Thus, I was able to develop a love affair with the amazing television show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.  Also, feel free to enjoy yourself without the traditional public opinion blocking you from doing so.  It will make your life better, as well as those around you.  

 

Your faithful student,

Blankety, blankety, blank!

 

But seriously, this year, I probably learned the greatest lesson of all: The precious value of life (Just kidding again, not that life isn't precious or anything. What if I kept going on like this? Just making constant Spongebob references?).

 

But now for real, I learned the magic of friendship this year. You've read all those threads about how ponies has changed each other's lives, blah, blah, blah, I'm not going to repeat what everypony has said over and over again already. All I'm going to say is that it changed me too, and for the better. It opened my eyes to what kindness, sharing, etc. can do for you and I couldn't be happier that it did.

 

So thank you 2012, for not ending on December 21^st and turning my revelation into a complete waste

What I've learned is that anything that is posted on the internet will be believed by the populace of the world.

 

So if I post an article on a blog saying a giant bunny from outer space is going to collide with the moon and send the moon barreling into our planet with a bit of photoshop too I'm sure everyone will start digging foxholes to hide in. 

 

 

Humans, you so funny. 

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

Learned a lot of things 

 

As time goes on you may lose friends. But your true friends are the ones who have stood by your side through think and thin up until now.

 

Found out about this show and community I really have changed after becoming a fan of this show. I am much more open towards a lot of things and the just the general kindness of the community gave me a shock.

 

Learned that the world did not end & the Mayans predicted gangnam style to get 1 Billion views.

 

To take things as they come on hill/problem at a time. To keep pushing forward no matter what.

[SrFrog 927]

I didn't learn jackshit this year, again for the second year in a row. I really gotta start planing this thing better, before I go all senile in my mind. Life lessons, am I right or what?

[Zygen 6,066]

Hm. wow they're's a pretty good amount of stuff I learned, besides the obvious list of stuff I learn in school. Of course if I can recall all of it, and if I'll be able to remember and stick to learning from the lessons I learned is another question. (well actually I won't be able to recall all my lessons.) Anyways here goes.

 

First things first. Don't judge a book by its cover, I wasn't sure how I could like a show about pony's until I started watching and well. After the first episode, I had to watch the second, then the third, and well now I'm a brony and I've watched the show like 3-4 times over now .(Thats alot considering I don't normally rewatch stuff .)

 

I learned that I need to be more confident in myself, and I think I've gained a bit of self confidence.

 

I learned that my High school's band is awesome .

 

I've learned that if I put some effort into trying to do something I may not actually end up as bad as I thought I was originally. (This goes for alot, but I think mainly for Art since I started doing some MLP art when I never thought I'd be able to draw even remotely, and even though its still pretty bleh for me skill wise, it shows I can still accomplish stuff if I put my mind to it .

 

I've learned there is plenty of good people in the world.

 

Hm. Not sure if this is a lesson, but for somereason people think more highly of me most of the time then I do myself.(Not that I agree with them most of the time .) For instance I've been complimented by people randomly in band about my trumpet playing, even if I still think its pretty bleh . maybe they're just being nice who knows.

 

I also learned I need to be less shy overall, I guess overall I am less shy then last year(But then again last school year I was just coming from homeschooling so..)

 

I learned that choosing to go to public school was a good idea.

 

I learned that having a crush can be pretty heartbreaking sometimes. Especially with complicated situations.. ;/

 

I learned to trust some people a bit more.

 

I learned that I can be pretty crazy when I get past my shyness.(Well actually I knew that, but i've had chances to display it this year .)

 

I've learned that you shouldn't believe something just because someone tells you to.(Cough Mayan calender cough)

 

I've learned to be a bit more open minded about others opinions actually. Even if I don't agree with them all.

 

Oh and I've learned that I can really ramble.. .

 

Probably stuff that I missed, but yeah, this year has been quite busy. And full of plenty of learning opportunity's. Then again life is full of lessons, even after school.(Of course I'm still in school.)

 

I hope that 2013 goes better then 2013, and offers me more insight and life lessons!

I also want to say that I learned that sometimes the best friends, are the ones you might not really know.  When you disappear for two months and come back to excitement and open arms, to a roleplay no less, it really makes you feel like a special person.

[TheDragoniteDestiny 23]

I learned that I have fans that care. People who look up to me and watch my videos because they enjoy them. People who aren't just my friends that go out of their way to make me feel good. I learned that there are more people that do that than I thought, and it makes me so happy just to know people think about me! I learned a lot about math and social studies, specifically algebra for math and current events for social studies. I found out that I found the best friend I could ever have and that I have a great life and should appreciate that. This year will always be in my heart, because it's the year that I learned to love, to care, and to think about others. I found the /true/ meaning of friendship...

I learned all doomsday theories are udder bullshit and that humanity can be quite stupid at times and this shall always be the norm.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

Wait, we were supposed to learn something throughout all that?

 

 

...ohcrap....

 

 

Ummmm......

 

Never charge head first into Retro fire?

Never bounce for show, only for defence/maneuvering?

Beserkers are not to be played with?

Never flip off Cyberdemons?

Don't play around with Spartan Lasers?

Doogles are best vehicle?

Never think you can outsweep, ohko, and 6-0 your opponent. Something can always go wrong (priority)?

Pre-active noobs are scrubs?

 

I dont know, geez, i didnt know we'd be asked this. :l

[Viscra Maelstrom 3,718]

i learned how to use FL Studio, somewhat, as well as Photoshop and a little bit of 3DS Max are probably the top things i learned 2012.

[PonyPowaX1000 69]

Lets have a list of things you've learned

 

Hmm

 

MLP forums is a great forum.

 

There is soo much damn hate in this world.

 

Sometimes you  can't "love and tolerate," tell that person off. 

 

What did you learn from your experiences this year?  

 

To either ignore people or tell them off!

 

What changed you?

 

 

N/A

[ringo-tan 3]

People can change to horrible human beings in a short amount of time and that it's okay to drift apart from some close friends..

[Lumen 106]

I learned that I have a pretty shitty motivation to keep doing stuff.

For example, when I start drawing something, I can keep drawing for several hours. Then I decide to stop for now and finish it later. After that I'm just not interested in that project anymore. Right now I have seven unfinished drawings just sitting there, waiting to be finished.

I learned that if I want to do something myself, then I should do it all in one go.

[mycarhasaMoustache 449]

I learned that people will betray your trust constantly and lie to your face and Im better off being single. I also learned that the government has jacked up the price of electricity and gas. Its the middle of winter and I cant really afford to run the heating for very long or have too many lights on thats if I want to be able to afford the fuel for my car thanks to the ever rising cost of petrol. 2012 was a terrible year im glad to see the back of it and Im quite looking forward to a new start this year.

[truemlp_fan98 20]

well obviously the best and biggest thing i learned was that it's okay for a guy to enjoy My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic! this has been very important for me because i have learned about friendship
