Welcome to CanterU: Can't Be Better edition! [spoiler]This is probably gonna be a real short episode, and definitely no where close in quality in comparison to the last episode.

End Canterlot University   [spoiler]Real talk everybody, I fucking hate all of you. You can all go die in a ditch the size of your combined assholes.[/spoiler] [spoiler]Real real talk. Thank you guys so much for being a part of my thread, and enriching my expierence as a writefag. It certainly smelled like summer and I just wanted to give it a shot. We've had some good times in the past 50 days, and what I wish for all of you, is to get out there and live happy and healthy lives... to forge your own adventure, so you have something to tell the future. I wish you the best of luck in every one of your endeavors, and continue to pray for all of your well beings. I took up a mission, to be the savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned. And my time here on /mlp/ has really opened my eyes to the unfortunate lives that so many of you live. And hopefully, through my tongue in cheek comedy, and terrible social experiences, I was able to steer you away from the darkness, and move towards the light. You guys have been a wonderful audience. Truly.[/spoiler]   [spoiler]except you, Lyrafag.   [spoiler]just kidding. <3
