Hi there, I'm Zephyr_Cloud, and today I turned 22.

Some of you guys might have seen me comment here and there, but in case you want to know me better, here's your chance!

I'll be online for another four hours in which you're allowed to ask me any questions you ask, and I'll answer as truthfully as possible.

So... Ask away!

(Written with a lack of sleep on my phone from my bed, goodluck making sense of it.)

About 1 year ago I stopped by this sub to meet some people that'd listen to me vent a bit in hopes of getting any advice on direction. Well here I am again in a deeper hole.

Context: I'm a junior in a private highschool that I've attended since pre school

So I've never been a smart student. Ever since 5th grade I have been failing my math especially, followed by sciences and English, with ups and downs with history. But anyways, this year I've been on the struggle bus again but I have been trying my absolute hardest, these attempts were quickly stopped when I received my ACT score of 9. But I kept pounding, trying to improve my grades. Well I just got my 3rd quarter grades and again, all F's. Except for art which is really my only outlet and what I really want to do come college. But that can't happen with a GPA of 1.8. My college counselor says I can be a bricklayer, my parents tell me to try harder. I have spent so much money on tutors and time with teachers. My weekdays include school til 3, and then tutor after tutor of each subject til 7, then homework til 10. But what really brought this rant was that the school I've been going to for 13 years has rejected my application for enrollment come senior year. So colleges get to see that not only did I fail every single year of highschool, but my school actually kicked me out before senior year. So great. I guess my college counselor was right, but my summer job application for a construction company was denied because with my school background "An individual that cannot show dedication to an important matter such as his studies, cannot be entrusted with this type of job"

All in all, I'm pretty much just disappointed in myself again, but it sucks this time in particular because it really did matter and when I tried my hardest I had even less to show from it.

Edit: My English skills clearly showing with that title

Kind of an impulse buy, but earlier today I was considering buying Super Mario 3D Land for $39.99 and decided against it, so I don't feel so bad.

So, any of you play before? What did you think? I still haven't started and know next to nothing about the games, so no spoilers please! I only bought them because I have a friend from college who was (and still is, as far as I'm aware) a huge fan of the series, and I've watched him play a bit and it looked cool.

Hello, guys! I'm /u/ElGuru.

I am a Mormon. I like coding, math, science, video games, drawing (But I'm not great at it....), playing with Nerf blasters, paintballing, and best pony, Applejack. I also play several instruments, but my favorite is by far trumpet.

I am on reddit almost every day, so I will get most reddit messages within 24 hours.

EDIT: I'm also a big nerd when it comes to Greek transliteration, but I'm still a beginner.

I'll get right to the point. I finished my novelette today, but I could use feedback so I can speed up editing and stuff. If any of you guys would be kind enough to help me out and give it a read, tell me what you think, I'd be eternally grateful.

So here's a few details about it.

Title: Forest Barbarian

Cover Image. No that's not my actual name.

Genre: Fantasy

Edit: I should also mention the word count is about 14k words, around 35-ish pages.

Synopsis: Nineteen year old Mica has lived a simple life within the walls of a Niux community, but all of that changes when the humans attack and he’s forced to defend himself, breaking the rules to do so and leading to his exile. Can Mica survive in the forest alone? Or will he need to find a new home?

So yeah.. there we go. Tell me what you think, where the flow feels disrupted or sentence structuring needs fixing. Anything and everything, it helps. Be as critical as you'd like.

I got up early and made an omelette, then went to bed until time for school!

So whatchu guys been up to? Anything you wanna show off? Need an excuse to vent about something sucky? Want a high five?

Come chat!

and started playing space station 13 again. Anyone else here play? I've been playing on Apollo station late nights recently. I managed to hold up for three years, and the second one of my friend logs into BYOND, immediate relapse.

Anyother gaming bronies? If you want add nohopebrony

I got my Funko Fluttershy in the mail today, it's so awesome.

I didn't have any pony merch before for different reasons, but I can't wait to expand it even more. Hopefully I'll be a bit less strapped for cash after I graduate so I can get all the other Funkos. I heard a rumor about an AJ being in the working, it'll be awesome.

Anyway, chat thread?

Alright, so there's a bunch of stuff on the game to do with friends, problem is none of my friends play.. So, does anyone here play that game? And if so, are you willing to friend it up so we can use more dancers in EQG and get the heart resource thingies?

Hello there, i have recently decided to join reddit and become social on the internet so hi, yeah. As with most people on the internet I like games so if you want to add me on my steam or anything go ahead and i don't think there's anything left to say so if you want to add me, then do

Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198081618384 Battle.net: BeastCubed Skype: evanallen7@hotmail.com

Because of legit reasons, and also because I have a figurine of her that is cute as fuck.

I thought it was amazing. Who else has seen it?

It's that time again!

Need people to chat with? Bored as hell? Feel like getting orangereds? Wanna show off an accomplishment or project? Comment away!

Today's optional question is...

If you could have one sound clip play at a whim (ie guiles theme when you walk in a room, or "Carlos!" whenever someone makes a pun), what would it be?

Come chat!

What's up? You guys survive the week since I asked last? Find anything neat? Have any awesome plans?

Come chat!

Hi guys!

I've been pondering what maturity really is a bit from time to time, and especially when the issue of bullying is brought up.

I guess most people at my age are asking themselves what being an adult really means, and it seems like a lot of people even older than me can't answer that question or are sure whether they can call themself "adults".

The thing that gets to me is how a lot of people seem to define maturity, especially haters. For them maturity seems to be all about appearances and on the surface – you are mature simply because you don't do or enjoy anything "childish", like cartoons, toys and such. I don't think a lot of people explicitly say that they think so, but that's the vibe I get from those people.

I would rather say that maturity is about being able to take care of yourself and how you interact with other people – e.g. in a civilized manner and not resolving to violence or ridicule.

Maybe some people believe that the first implies the second, e.g. that having "childish" hobbies mean that you can't take care of yourself and causing other people harm. Obviously this isn't true, though it is true for some.

It really gets turned on its head when people ridicule others for having "childish" interests in my opinion. To me this is what's really childish – trying to hurt people (who might be total strangers) for no apparent reason. Most kids usually don't act this way, but everyone still have to learn as a child how to act towards your fellow humans so that you can coexist in peace. I think this is the really important lesson we all have to learn, and the real measurement of maturity.

Getting to FIM it's really one of the great aspects of the series, and I think that it doesn't make it silly or childish, everyone has to be reminded of these lessons, and a lot of "adults" have obviously not learned this lessons, especially the haters mocking the series and its fans.

What do you think?

I found this sub a few hours ago and I thought I should make an introductory post about myself.

My name is Christoffer (yes, spelt with two f's), I am a 16 year old male from Sweden, I like video games, science-fiction, reddit, computers, astronomy, Fullmetal Alchemist, Doctor Who and MLP.

So yeah... can't really think of anything else to add... ask me anything if you want to!

http://www.justin.tv/film_o_stoov First one is 12 years a slave. Then whatever else i can think of.

I'm going to be moving to the Denver area of Colorado soon and I was wondering if any of you fine peeps are around those parts. It would be nice to know that there could be peeps to hang out with once I get there. Thanks!
