Hi guys.

Today, I looked at my profile and realized I had 61 friends, and for some reason that number encouraged me to make a blog about it. We are going to analyze how I got to being a friend of 61 people and how I personally feel about it.

How I got here

I made this codeforces account in February 2023 and immediately started doing expert level performances in contests. At first, I wasn't fully aware of my potential yet. Having a lack of understanding and a lack of confidence, I named my account Iamdiv5. Initially, my only friend was I myself. I started doing pretty well in the contests, I was getting ranked around 1000-2000 most of the time. Out of the blue, I was blue. But blue wasn't feeling right with me, it made me feel out of place. So for the first time in codeforces, I wrote a blog in codeforces titled "How to escape Blue". There I made some new friends who I never talk with. But again, just because we don't talk doesn't mean we can't be friends. Otherwise, mute people won't have any friends. So anyways, I got some advice on how to get out of blue and suddenly, I was CM. People started confusing me for some random dude in some university, so I set my university name to the university name of that dude. I gained a lot of friends that way, and suddenly I have 61 friends

How I personally feel about having 67 friends

Well, 61 friends is not as good as having 67 friends. But regardless, I don't really have much to say about how I feel because it doesn't really change my life a lot. I think if this number increased tenfold I might start feeling something

Some off-topic things kind of relevant to this blog

You might've read a bit earlier that I am actually a div5 participant. This is definitely my only codeforces account and I definitely don't have any alts. Technically my rating should be in the negatives but you know, some things happen in this world that you can't just explain, supernatural stuff.

And the second thing you could ask is am I still sad because of no girl ever going to love me. Well, after watching some short videos, I agreed that I'm too old for a relationship and I probably should get married at this point. So yeah, that's depressing.

I hope you now understand how to become a friend of 61 users and that you liked this blog.
