Hello everyone!

[CosmicCupcake]

I'm new here and a little intimidated because I'm also a little new to collecting but here we go!

I'm 20 years old, live in California, and currently going to school and majoring in Child Development. I want to be a teacher! Kids always get excited when they find out I like ponies! lol I started collecting when I was I think a Junior in High School, started with G4 and recently branched out to G1 and G3 but the first pony I ever had was a G1 B n G Ringlets that I gave away when I started losing interest in toys

Aside from ponies, I collect Care Bears and Polly Pockets and I really really really like pugs.

Welcome to the Arena!

I really like pugs too!!!!  I just bought this cute little tote that reads "i like big pugs and i cannot lie"

Isn't it great when kids get excited about toys as much as we do?!  Makes it feel more thrilling i reckon  

Look forward to seeing you around

Welcome to the Arena! Everyone here was a new collector at some point so dont be nervous! What an exciting career to be looking forward to - sounds like fun! I hope you have a great time here on the boards.

Hi, CosmicCupcake! Welcome to the Arena!

Don't be intimidated!! We're just a happy bunch that likes to talk about how much we love MLP! That's a great field to go into, I can imagine the kids love to talk ponies with you. I hope you can find a replacement Ringlets soon! Enjoy the forums!

Hi and welcome

I have sold off some of my ponies in the past and lived to regret it too!  I'm sure you will be able to track down a nice replacement for Ringlets though - and maybe even a couple of her sisters too

Enjoy the forums

AHH thanks so much for welcoming me here everyone! I kinda disappeared oops, I've been busy with school and looking for jobs and stuff. I'm very excited to be here though!

Hi there, welcome to the Arena!

I enjoy collecting Care Bears and Ponies too! I also collect Strawberry Shortcake and She-Ra, among other '80s toys. 

Enjoy the forums.

Welcome to the Arena! What age group do you want to teach?  I currently work customer service at a local zoo, and it always gets a smile and/or giggle from a little one if they're wearing something MLP and you know the characters' names.
