Step Fourteen: Start a Diploma Collection

At your graduation, tell your parents that you love them. This seems like a simple action, but it will mean a lot. Thank all of the teachers that made you believe you could be something. Apply for the graduate program of Creative Writing at Canterlot University. Continue to write stories about ponies that overcome impossible odds to achieve their goals.

When ponies ask you why you’re so happy all of the time, just smile and tell them it’s because of a hamster. One that you thought was the reincarnation of your dead grandfather. It died when you were in the fourth grade. Tell them that the story always makes you laugh. Have them laugh along with you. Start making hamster jokes and use them excessively in your fiction.

Get your master’s degree in creative writing. Go for your doctorate degree in creative writing, no matter how redundant your father says it seems.
