It's Been a While...

Hey. I dunno if any of you still remember me. Just glancing at a couple of recent posts, it seems that this place is still pretty active.

Anyways, it's Foogul (or what I used to go as, haha). I'm graduating high school in a month and a half. Next year I'll be studying at the Ross School of Business at UMich (go blue!).

Why am I back here? Partly because this is the first time in the past four years where I've had absolutely nothing to do for three consecutive days (thanks standardized testing!), but also because I honestly missed the times I had here. I still remember first meeting everyone here May of seventh grade. This community just radiated positivity into my life. Even though I don't believe I've been back here since freshman year, I haven't forgotten all the memories that put a smile on my virtual fish face.

I've grown out of video games for a while now (gasp!), but this community was more than just clicking buttons to me. The friends I made were simply there for me and ready to brighten my day. For all you youngin's and new folk, don't take these folks for granted. They're great people and only want to give you the best they can possibly provide.

So yeah, I'm a grown up soon-to-be college dude now. It pained me to cut everyone out of my life, but I just wanted to check up on how everyone who's still here's doing now. Lemme know how you're all doing.

Thanks again for all the great memories!

Wow, ohno, it's awesome to hear from you again. Reading your words makes me miss the server so much, as I have been inactive for a while too.
Congrats on your admission to UMich! I'm also studying business at the Rutgers School of Business after I graduate, so that's cool.

Again, so amazing to hear from you. Stop by the forums once in a while, because I still try to and it's totally worth it.

I'll stick by everyone's side...
Congrats on the admission, while I'm barely out of freshman year I've been receiving plenty of letters from arts colleges and applying for scholarships already :)
I'll always keep your advice in mind!

HIPPOOO! What's up man! Congrats on Rutgers, it's a great school. A bunch of my friends didn't get in, use that spot to your advantage ;)

I'll try and stop by every now and then, but honestly, I'm more focused on relationships with the people I meet and see every day now. If I had more time like I did in the past, I'd be here a lot more. Really miss all y'all though :'(

Awesome! Definitely get a head start on that stuff; it only helps in the long run. Big tip: find something you love (art for you I'm assuming, music for me), and work your a** off in whatever it is. Keep your head down and push for the next three years. It's all worth jt in the end.

FOOGY BOI. Glad you're doing well!
I always feel weird seeing all these younger people going to universities while I sit in a Junior college level tackling all my general ed requirements trying to save money. I'm actually hoping I'll be done by next year and transfer to another college. I just need to find a college in California with a good Computer Science program.

AL3X! Man oh man it's been a while, haha

I'm sure you'll do fine with whatever lies ahead for you. I actually work with a guy who's in the same situation as you are. He came from the bottom in high school but is doing really well in community college now (drugs screwed him over but he's over it now). He told me he even got a letter from Columbia telling him to apply (just a letter but still). Point is, I've got faith in that guy, and I definitely got faith in you. And there's definitely something good the state of Cali can offer. Go get'em. ;)

Hey Foogul, You probably don't remember me? I dunno. Anyway, glad to hear you're doing well. Many of the old people have left but there's still a few of us on the server. Hope to see you on!
