Step Twelve: Get a Degree
Enroll in Canterlot University a few years later. Come to the realization that psychologists are full of horse apples after your first semester there. Change your major to Ponish your sophomore year. After all, poetry has been what’s keeping you alive all of these years so you might as well give it ‘the good college try’. Have some amazing creative writing teachers that tell you you’ve got what it takes to be something in the world of literature. Make it your goal to be more famous than A.K. Yearling one day.
Write stories about gothic chicks and outcasts. Win prizes at your university for outstanding fiction and poetry. Forget about the online journal communities and sever your ties with those twenty-something-year-old-emo-chicks. Try to get to know people in your class. Continue to hang out with your friends Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts and Minuette after your classes each day. Spend time with Lyra Heartstrings and Twilight Sparkle whenever they are in town.
Keep a book of all of the reasons to live. Remember all of the reasons your best friend used to give you and record them alongside the ones you’ve made yourself.
