this blog has just passed 2000 posts, so i thought i’d go ahead and reflect<\/a> a little bit on aska past, present and future. <\/a><\/p>\n

(i wanted to make this post the 2000th one, but i’m not nearly organized to pull that off<\/a>, so this is post 2003 or something.)<\/p>\n

askastudent has been around since 1999. it’s been through many incarnations, not the least of which was moving to the internet from phones. that’s right; aska’s been answering your pesky questions since back when Google wasn’t even a thing. imagine how annoying that must’ve been. there have also been many askas throughout the years, some of whom are real adults who live adult lives now – though still with their caustic sense of humour and blisteringly powerful good looks intact<\/a>.<\/p>\n

askastudent’s been a horrible, horrible static webpage, it’s been updated to a wordpress blog, and it might even be getting another facelift sometime soon (oooo!). aska has sassed and belittled first-years who are now university grads with accomplished careers! probably would’ve ended up as criminals if it weren’t for us, tbh.<\/p>\n

to put it another way, aska’s been here since sonic the hedgehog was released on sega dreamcast<\/a>\u00a0all the way until sonic\u00a0became a meme<\/a>.<\/p>\n

here’s to the next 2000 by which point, hopefully, Warner Bros will have released a live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie. i live and breathe for the day, guys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
