OH NO! Is this my *4th* year on Newgrounds? Do you know how unlucky that is?!

Not unlucky at all! In fact, this fourth year has been fantastic! Well, on Newgrounds anyway. I feel like, for better or worse, I've been more in tune with this site in the past year than ever before. While it distracted me a bit from my first year of college, it gave me a chance to apply what I'm learning and even self-teach myself stuff we haven't done yet. I've participated in collaborations for the first time this year, which has been very fun. I enjoyed seeing the final result of the Pass the Page and would love to do it again some time. I'm also excited for the New Smash Grounds collab and hope you all do too.

That being said, I wish I could have done something more for the 30th anniversary. It's a little weird and stressful celebrating my Newgrounds-versary not just on the 4th of July, but two days before NG's birthday. Regardless, it's been great getting to know this community and being able to contribute to the site every once in a while. I appreciate everyone that helps make Newgrounds work on a technical level and everyone that I've interacted with over the years. I'd like to thank all of the people I'm following and thanks to you guys that favorite, react and comment on my stuff, it means a lot. And with that, I'd like to thank all 9 of my current fans:

@tobewaffles - I'm glad I could influence you to join Newgrounds, buddy. I hope you've been enjoying this wonderful community like I have.

@SkyHawkins - Thanks for being my first friend here. It's great to see where you've been and where you're going with your comics. Best of luck.

@MOT7, @smirkyship, @Daylin1122, @Ryandddher, @TheCakeMage, @Stuffy77, @KokoroHatsaru

Tank you everyone for making everything on this wonderful website. Here's to another 30 years!
