Nostalgia; The Essence of SchoolRP

[SkyFantasyWorld]

This isn't a very serious post- It's more of a reflection as I try to figure out my life now. But onto the actual reflection part, I've been on SRP since May of 2021, and everything was so new to me back then. The new experiences, meeting so many different people, and the excitement of each class when I attended it, there was a genuine nervousness about answering correctly and a sense of pride when I did. It was an experience I never thought I would have in real life.

But, as months and years went by, and I applied to many factions, experienced AdultRP, work, etc,. I was in so many roles and activities, to the point where I forgot what SRP is actually all about: school. When I finally attended classes again after so long, two or so more years to be exact, and after being so used to being an adult ICly, it gave me a sense of nostalgia. Making new friends again, and interacting with random new players, and feeling that nervousness again during recitations in an IC class reminded me of the essence of the server.

Which made me realize, that over time, the more we experience and the more factions we join, we tend to forget the core of SRP. But returning to where it all started, to the school part of SchoolRP, the very thing that we all started from, it brought back a wave of memories and reminded me of why I fell in love with the server in the first place. It's easy to get caught up in the roles once you start applying for factions, and we tend to forget what the server is all about, but at its heart, SRP is still about the school experience. I hope, to those who are reading this, you can relate in some way, but if not, I still hope this is still something that will remind you of what SRP is about. <3

PREACH SKY, I love running around on my high school or college characters, just having chaotic fun. I would say if anyone does read this message of mine. If you want to join a faction, whether it be your first faction or 5th faction, I heavily recommend Teacher, Professor, or Employee. Since the server is focused around School Roleplay, this will not only keep in active in the schools focus, but also give you an idea what it's like to be a teacher.

This is why my fav part of SRP will always be anything school-related, I tend to stick to that because I find more joy in it. I've been on Hs swim team as captain, Hs fem basketball, HD receptionist, and now I'm on the college swim team and I'm a Hs councillor. I just really love anything school-related, brings much joy. Even though I have also been a Priest and Maiden, amazing roles and I had a blast. It just didn't hit the same like those other roles hit

[Im planning on becoming a Teacher/Professor or I may return as a Receptionist if given that opportunity!]

im no longer a school roleplayer, but nostalgia pretty much dominates everything. jus keep in mind u gonna be nostalgic of whatever u got going on rn in life, regardless of what it is. don't take that shit for granted, cuz you gonna miss it. part of nostalgia is that your brain tunes out the bad parts and makes it feel like the best time ever, even if it wasnt.
