Chatterbox: In This Month's Issue

January MCU Questions!

Advice Column:

It's a new year, the time to make new year resolutions. But the real problem is keeping them. How do you keep your new year resolutions?

LMWAY (last month we asked you):

It's that time of year for goals and resolutions, so...What do you want to change this year about yourself?

Important Dates:

Tell us if there are any important dates in January, and we'll be sure to include it in our MCU!

Joke Column:

A new year means some new jokes for January. Tell us your best (or not so best) jokes for this month!

LotM (location of the month):

Enter your favorite winter-themed location and see if yours comes out top!

 

And just to let everyone know, monthly playlist and inspirational quotes for the MCU are still open for people to do.

LMWAY- I would like to be more condfident, and less shy whether I'm at home asking for something, walkin around in public, approaching someone, or knocking on somebody's door. 

LoTM- Snow moon in winter night

Advice Column: Take small steps. Keep your resolution with you in your mind, or if it's helpful a little piece of ribbon around your wrist or even paper. Try not to get frustrated. Little steps are good! Work to feel proud of those and then you'll look back and see how far you've come.

LMWAY: I want to be better at putting less pressure on myself.

LotM: The woods! On a bluebird winter day.

important dates: 
Jan. 5th - my bday 

(and if I may, Jan 13 is Magnus Chase's bday, and Jan 28 is Nico di Angelo, but it's fine if characters bdays are too complicated) 

LotM:

Dancing with snowflakes

Advice Column: more often than not, when people think of New Year's Resolutions, they think of exercising and eating healthier and stuff like that. I'm not saying that ISN'T necessarily important, but you shouldn't make your resolutions feel entirely like a chore. i've found that if you have some resolutions that you enjoy, you're more likely to actually stick with the rest of your resolutions. for instance, you might want to practice a skill, or learn a new hobby, or something like that for 2024 :] 

LMWAY: I want to push myself outside my comfort zone and have more experiences! I want to join school clubs and sports teams, take up new hobbies, and just put myself out there more :]

Joke column: why shouldn't you kiss someone on January 1st? it's only the first date. why was the snowman upset? it had a meltdown.

LotM: beneath snow-laden boughs

thanks for doing this, Moon Wolf and all the MCU people :D i love the MCUs so much <3

I'm so sorry that I didn't find the time to help out with something else :\ Tysm for hosting the MCU, Moon Wolf!

Advice Column: As pangolin said, make resolutions that you feel you can and want to keep; write them down and reread them every now and then.

LMWAY: Write something that I've been trying to write for a few months, finish my two ongoing solo writes, and do more things in general :>

LotM: sun-touched drifts of ice

Jokes (these are absolutely horrible I'm sorry):

Why was the snowman upset in January? I don't know, but he was having a meltdown.

What do some couples do in the first month of the year? Get Janumarried.

Computer 1: "It's New Years... what's your resolution?"
Computer 2: "Same as always... 1024 x 768."
