Chatterbox: Down to Earth

The day is

The day is here! I can't believe that years ago me and others CBers put this together and now it's already 2019 like whaaat?? wild!!

I guess I'll start off by introducing myself :D 

I'm Cayke, I've been on the CB since 2014 and though I'm not active anymore I never officially left :)

My username is based off of an Oz book (I've long since forgotten which one!) in which there was a character named Cayke The Cookie Cook, and since I love baking and I thought the name was cute I stole it haha (my captcha is named Cookie)

I was 11 when I joined the CB and now I'm turning 16, I'm a sophomore in high school but I'm actually planning on graduating early (next year!) and I'm doing college at the same time as high school so (this gets complicated) by next year if everything goes well I should be done with high school AND my associate's degree! Which is pretty cool :D 

I joined the CB at a time in my life when I had no friends and was socially awkward and inept. I was very lonely, and finding this place was the best thing that ever happened to me! I'm so so so grateful that I got to be a part of this wonderful place, because of all it's done for me. Interacting with all of you grew my confidence and I'm not awkward anymore (haha) and I can actually talk to other human beings without being scared for my life now! The CB gave me a place to vent, a place to creatively express myself, a place to talk to other people my age without being judged, a place to give and recieve unbiased advice, and so much more that I can't even begin to explain. 

It's been an amazing experience and I'm so glad to be back, even if it's just for today. 

Thank you so much to every one of the beautiful souls I met and befriended on here, and thank you so much to the Admins for not only making this place possible but for everything they do to keep it running, and for dealing with all the messes we've made over the years! You guys are amazing, if I could hug all of you I would :'D <3

Hi Cayke! I'm really glad things are working out for you! Doing college and high school at once sounds hard but really cool. I'm so happy to see you! (Well, I guess not see you, but...)

Hello again, Cayke. :)

I'm glad your academic life is going so well! My mom keeps talking about how she would have me taking classes at a local community college if we didn't live in Japan. XD

I'd say more, but words are failing me, I'm so happy just to sit here and see all the people I know on the place I got to know them. *hugs again*

Caykeyyyyyy! It's my favorite human!

Ahh, I'm so happy to see you! I feel like we haven't had a proper conversation in ages xD Maybe I should be spending more time on the chatroom and it's my fault >.> but nonetheless I get to see you here and that's fantastic!!

Whoa, make that three people graduating high school with an associate's! I'm not graduating a year early (and also I'm only a freshman haha) but my school does have an early college program that means I'll be taking college courses for junior and senior year! Our programs are probably a bit different but it's still really cool and quite the coincidence.

Hey Cayke!! I've missed youuuu!

I'm a freshman now, but also hoping to graduate early if I can. Reading your post was so inspiring to me! I wish you the best of luck in your future :) Love you!

Cayke!!!! It's so good to see you! I was hoping you'd come back today! 

Wow, I thought you were much older than me but you're only one grade ahead. It's cool that you're graduating early and already taking college classes! Good luck with all that!   

Anyway, I don't have much to say, I'm just really happy to see you. :)
