Let's Start the New Year Right
Hey guys! I know that I am on break from MCGamer right now as I have very limited internet access being on a trip with a bunch of friends over this winter break. However, today I was able to get access to a computer for the first and only time I will have within this next month. As I opened up my computer today, I checked my email and found that my friend had sent me this youtube link; she asked me to watch it, so I did.The video is called the Science of Happiness, and however nerdy and stupid that may sound, the video really inspired me to do something that I do not normally do; the same thing that they do in the video. If you have never seen the video that I posted the link to above, I really recommend that you watch it, but if not, this is is basis of what happens:
1. A randomly selected group of volunteers were brought in to a room and asked to take a quick test, the test gave the people performing the experiment a good idea of each person’s level of happiness.
2. The volunteers were asked to close their eyes, and think of a person who made a major impact on their lives. Then… each volunteer would write all that they could about the person that they thought about.
3. As each person finished their writing, they were then asked to call the person they had written about and read to them, word for word what they had written.
4. Once finished, each person then retook a similar test to the one they had taken earlier.
5. The results of the experiment showed that each person’s happiness had increased by roughly 20%.
Shortly after I finished watching this video, I was inspired to think and write about all of the people in my life that have impacted me; the list was giant. I never realized how many people had influenced me in my life until I actually thought about it. As I began to write, I realized how enjoyable it actually was to write my gratitude to the special people in my life.
Although this video has more things in tune with the holiday of Thanksgiving, I believe that the New Year is also an amazing time to recall everything that has happened in the past year. I thought about everyone that I had met in the past 12 months, and everything that these people meant to me.
As the New Year comes around, I would love to ask all of you to think about those special people who have greatly impacted you this past year. They can be friends, family, anyone. I encourage you to let them know how grateful you are for everything that they have done for you; If they are from MCSG, just reply to this post and tag them with a few words about what they mean to you. Strengthen your relationship with your friends and let them know what they mean to you!
Here are just a few of the people I could write about:
Mickeylag - Mickey you have been absolutely amazing, I know that you have decided to quit minecraft and that the odds are that you will not see this message so I will keep it short and sweet. Thank you for being my longest lasting and one of my first friends on MCGamer. Your jokes and laugh would always brighten up my day and I certainly miss talking to you as much as I used to.
Philly67 - When we first met you were still a moderator. Infact you were the first moderator that I had ever seen ingame and the main reason that I began to be interested in becoming a moderator myself. I never thought that we would actually become really great friends who at random times end up having really meaningful conversations; but of course, every conversation we ever have ends up being about Sanguinello juice anyways. ;-;
CAmadeusA -From the moment I became a moderator, you have been with me for every step of the way. The first thing I heard after being accepted was your voice trying to explain that you were going to be the one helping me along until I learned the ropes. However, our relationship has become so much more than just you teaching me how to be a mod, right now we are closer than ever and I honestly don’t know what I would do without you. <3
SixZoSeven - Although you constantly love to drive me insane with the word _ _ _ _ _ _. Yeah you know what it is… I am so grateful for you being one of my closer friends since I have been a mod. I dont think that I ever said Thank You for letting me be a mod on your server when you still had it but that experience was one of the best in my life; the crazy amount of hours we spent on that server was something that I will never forget. Ps. Roger Federer is still the best
Nbroski - #BlameTim #kill4242424242424242 #goingcakeless #getslappedson #oomymotherhaschinesefood The insane amount of inside jokes we have just makes my day whenever we talk; we always have the best conversations, and most of all, Thank you for saving me from Tim
FantasticTardis - Oh Chandelle. I dont even know where to start. I know for certain that if I ever have a problem of any kind, I can come to you and you will always make me feel so much better. When I am constantly “broken” you always know how to put me back together again. Thank you for always standing by me when I have a tough day or just hanging out in general. #SoulSista
Mman1234fcn83i - I remember how your name confused me so much when we first met… Now I know that I can count on you whenever I have to talk over something incredibly confusing or whenever I feel the need to laugh. Your stories are amazing and you are simply hilarious and I love talking to you. #SoulSista
kristier12 - Although when we first met we had a kind of rough friendship I have come to see you as someone who I know that I can trust. I love how our conversations always end up being about the most random things and they are just so much fun to have. xD
DQ - Hanging out and playing MCSG with you is always a great time. I know that you will always have my back when something goes wrong and it is great knowing that I can always count on you.
Huahwi - I remember back when we first met and we recorded that video together; you had never played minigames before and your determination to win at everything made it hilarious when you constantly kept dying You have always been so kind to me and the amount of times you have /killed for me is way too high! But, in general, thanks for being so awesome <3
Fisheer & NoahSailer - I miss those times that we all would play together all day every day. Both of you are the main reason that I ever got any good at PvP. Your constant bothering me about how bad I was put me into tryhard mode to get all of my wins and thanks to that, I would argue that I may actually be a challenge to fight now. Thanks guys <3
