tune

based on the math i did for what i wrote for class, i was about 15 when i joined

I’m at work so my replies shall be slow lol)
I think I joined at either 14 or 15 but my memory loss is so bad that I’m not sure ^^’
But I get to turn 21 in a few months and I don’t like it T^T

I don't want to out myself by giving my age but I am way past being 20.

Does adulting get any easier after 21 at least? T^T

I am going to be kidnapping Whisper for three days and no one can stop me mwahaha

facepalm As long as you behave-

Buckle up boy we're getting married /hj

I would marry you in August mostly so we get the tax breaks in next January but I think trying to explain a change in my legal name and marriage status would be hard to explain to my parents. T-T (Context for those who don’t know, my parents are letting me rent a room from them while I go through my certification training)

In my experience… Not really, I'm sorry to say. If anything most people expect more of you because you are older. The only “benefit” of being over 21 is you get to drink. And I don't get carded as often as I used to. 🥲

Though honestly, I don't feel very adult most of the time. I still feel… maybe 18 somedays, 21 on others, but 🤷‍♀️

I've been here for a while but I have a terrible memory from the years I was active. I feel a lot of nostalgia but also can't remember a lot of specifics. I feel like I didn't make many lasting connections on this site when I was younger :/ or all my buddies just left. Humor me, I've been feeling anxious wondering: does anyone remember me from a while ago? Have I made any mark on anyone? Am I just paranoid or am I right to think I'm strangely disconnected?

🤔 I think your name sounds familiar but I'm not sure if we actually interacted much before…

Your user is familiar…. Did you happen to have a different user previously?

You made a mark on me! Lol. I remember seeing you around a lot in chats but I also have a very broken memory, so I can’t remember much more than that lol. But I do remember you. Idk if you remember me though

I remember some of you, I don’t think we interacted much but I did see y’all around on the forums at some point

I think I was seventeen when I joined or around there and now I’m twenty one- I really miss the old friends I had on here, I remember it being so much fun to talk to you guys

Wow, that's a lot of usernames I haven't seen in a while.
Hello fellow ancients. I joined when I was 14, I am now 19, almost 20.
I joined in the middle of my freshmen year in high school and now I'm a a Sophomore in Collage studying History I'm still lurking around the Forums, I rarely post but I'm always around keeping tabs. I still write, I have a rough draft of the first three books in my main WIP at least halfway done, I've started a lot of side projects that I'm jumping between, and I'm working a bunch of lore/legends/fairytales for the main world I work with.
Over all, I'm a lot more mentally healthy than I was when most of ya'll were active and while not perfect I'm doing pretty good.

I think a lot of us are in a better metal place than we were a few years ago lol. I think High School was messy for a lot of us and it showed XD

Honestly I think that’s why I was on this site so much ^^’

Yeaaaaaa, high school was not fun lmao

But definitely being here so much helped a lot

Yes, very few of us know the trials and tribulations of Star in high school

XP

Wish I knew about this site in high school… if it had been around even.

It was made in 2016 so maybe? Idk how well know it was though

Oh! Then it definitely wasn't around when I was in high school

Lol guess you would’ve suffered regardless then. That kinda sucks.
I fully believe that while Notebook was full of drama and things that were damaging, I think it still kept me sane. Also I wouldn’t have met my best friends and current fiancé if I hadn’t been on here so I think it was worth the trauma in the long run XD

Shakes the growing dust off of my shoulders
What's up homies? Let's see. I moved from Alaska to SC, I am engaged, and I'm going to go live in the UK for a little while in about two months. I'm also in Journalism and I am still writing and revising the same book that kicked off my journey here on Notebook a little under 5 years ago. This month is the 5 year mark tho, so I'm excited. I was 15 when I joined notebook, and I am now 20. What a wild ride.

I joined when I was like 13, but I've had like 4 accounts, whether they were lost due to cheap computers dying or the internet wiping everything out. I still live in the same house, but I've been looking into buying a tiny house (when I started I think I wanted like a massive house). I got my first full time job and am about to apply for another part time job. In the 7 years I've been on Notebook, I've finished middle school, finished high school, am almost done with my Associates degree, and hopefully will finish my bachelors degree before year 8. I've gone through roughly 12 hair colors and have been natural recently, but will be going onto color 13 this year. I've also had a huge sexuality crisis on this website, but now I've kind of calmed down. It's insane that I'm going to be turning 20 this year and I've been on this website for almost half of it

Woah this thread appeared at the perfect time, just as I logged into this website after basically 4 years. I think I remember some of your usernames, like Whisper? I used to be called Vexillologist. Anyway things have moved on a lot for me like for everyone else, and when I look back at my old messages here I cringe so much (I was such a know-it-all back then) haha. I'm glad to hear everyone's doing well

YO I REMEMBER YOU! Gosh I thought you were pretty dang coolio my dude.

How do you do, fellow senior citizens?
Except I'm actually older than most of you lollll going on 24, still in my long term engagement but we've been living together for a year and a half, adopted a cat (see my pfp), graduated college, and I'm off in grad school. One more year to go.

Congratulations on getting such a cute cat and graduating college!

Thank you!!! And I figured, from the way you were talking, you were at least a little bit older than me. Notebook was around my last year of high school, and that's when I joined.

Ayo Winter!!! Haven’t seen you in forever and a goddamn half!
And Mercury, I recall you vaguely but I’m struggling to place you.
Sorry if I don’t recognize a lot of people or remember a lot of stuff, I’ve had some issues in the past three years that have caused severe memory damage for me, so I’m still trying to figure out how to get a lot of my memories back.
