Road 2 Nerdfighteria

Be humble. Be teachable. The world is bigger than your view of the world. There's always room for a new idea, a new step... a new beginning!

@Lunaaroo Always lookin for extra energy and willing to think on this and some ideas! Lotsa possibilities. Send me a dm here or to me at @mattpalka -Matt

@Road2NF @NerdfighterFC @hankgreen @johngreen I am aware that this is just me shouting into the void, but I'd really like to create/be part of some sort of nerdfighter christmas thing. Like a secret santa, or an advent calendar or some way we can decrease world suck

Yes! There is no such thing as a normal person.

Change isn’t part of the process, it is the process. The bad news: nothing is permanent. The good news: nothing is permanent.

*dusts off internet cobb webbs* SURPRISE! I'm always up for adding to the #nfstories collection at any time if you want to contribute a story in any art form you enjoy sharing. Here is Char’s (@char_cago) nerdfighter story video! youtu.be/JXzzVjiGZIs

@char_cago @mattpalka Absolutely! DM the R2NF account right here!

@Road2NF @mattpalka Hi! Yes, I'd love to share my work with Road to Nerdfighteria! Is it ok if I dm you?

NEW VIDEO! Nerdfighteria is a powerful online community that connects people and makes art and raises money to build hospitals. I reflect on what being a Nerdfighter for 10.5 years has meant to me youtu.be/Map9fXuXQ7o

@char_cago Wholesome story! Just watched! I Tumblr text post nerdfighter stories now because I haven't received a video story in years. If you'd like to have this video at home on the R2NF channel with the collection, I'd love to upload it and share it. It could inspire more. -(@mattpalka)

I just realized that this is really a very long, very late @Road2NF video!

John’s books have inspired me to write my own stories, and Hank’s songs have inspired me to overcome my fear of singing in front of people and take singing lessons. So thank you Vlogbrothers <3 -maggie rose

The Nerdfighter Community make me smile every day. They are the one thing I know in my ever changing world I can rely on to always show me the good in people and show me the best parts of life. -Georgie

The Nerdfighter community is one of the best communities on the Internet. Since I started watching Hank and John in 2009, I have made numerous friends and met the love of my life. I am grateful for them. -William (Tumblr: bedroom-acoustics)

Hank and John showed me that not all of the world is suck and it is worth living in. -Sabrina

John and Hank made it okay for me to be an intellectual. In a world where it’s easy to be mindless and a part of the crowd, with Nerdfighteria I am able to stand out and stand in a better light. -Laura (Tumblr: dontquestionwhatiunderstand.tumblr)

The Nerdfighter community gave me a place to call home when I didn't have anywhere else to go. -Tyler (Twitter: quickpants)

Hank and John have made me proud to be an intellectual. Rather than have my passion for all things nerdy be a flaw or a failing, their amazing community gave me the acceptance to be unabashedly adoring of books and history and smarmy British tv shows. -Meghan Cardy

The story entry today happened to time with a picture submission! Hoping your #gratitude and giving thanks to so much is perpetual. Stay safe and continue to make awesome happen, in both being and doing.

It helped become more aware of the problems in the world, but with that, help me see all the hope and opportunity in the world. -Molly Nerdfighteria has given me a community to be myself in. -Sophie

John and Hank have educated me, entertained me, made me laugh, made me cry, made me want to learn more, made me want to care more, have exposed me to so much good in the world, and has certainly made my world suck a whole lot less. -Melissa (Tumblr: shojo)

Nerdfighteria (as well as John and Hank) have taught me to want to be a better person through education (Crash Course/SciShow), imagination ( John's books/Hank's music), connection (Nerdfighter communities), and charitable acts (kiva/P4A/little acts of kindness). -Baitxbaitx

I really love Hankgames. The Wimbly Womblys are the only sports team I get really excited about, and Hank's playthroughs of Portal 1 and 2 got me through parts where I was stuck when I hopped on that bandwagon about five years late. - Amanda (aleiely.tumblr)

Nerdfighteria has made my life better. I've learned so much from both of them. Things about science and literature. I can always count on Nerdfightreria for a laugh and for support. I've met so many good friends and have gotten through hard times because of this group. -Emily
