Hi, I really wanna thank Codeforces in short.
I live in Bangladesh. In my county, COVID-19 hit around Jan-2020. Our college and every educational institution were closed for around 1.5 years. My life felt purposeless and dull.I had nothing to do. Time become frozen and felt like a day doesn't pass.
The entertainment become predictable, Nothing new was released. At that time I just saw one site become a part of my life. Like my morning coffee.
That site was not slowing down its activities and I saw it becoming more popular. The site I am talking about you already guessed it, Yes Codeforces.
I have invested time to solve problems and learn new things from this site. When I think about this site, I think how much effort is given to this site by some awesome volunteers.
I just become amazed and the best part of this site is, it is Free. I am especially thankful to MikeMirzayanov for this platform God Bless You.
Thank you Codeforces Team. I am grateful to you and wish you all "Happy New Year" in Advance.

Oh, I see. Thanks, I learned something new.
(notice how it was due to CF)
2021 was Codeforces year for me, Looking forward to carrying on and achieving all my goals in 2022!
Thank you, Codeforces team, for such an incredible platform.

The site I am talking about you already guessed iti didn't guessed it, i read the title before the blog
wokr hard bro one day you will got 7* coder codechef and legendary grandmaster coder on coderforces and youyr competitive programming skills will surpass sundar pichai and you will take over google
I like how you try so much.
That $$$\color{green}{\text{AC}}$$$ color is controlling my $$$\color{green}{\text{Dopamine}}$$$ level since COVID 19 started.Even after solving div3 A ,it gives us a feeling of contentment.Thus codeforces is a dire need for controlling our dopamine swing.
I probably would have quit competitive programming if quarantine hadn't happened and I was able to participate in codeforces contests (they'd always clash with school otherwise).
I was a high school junior at the time and the only cp contests I gave were USACO, which were only like 4 times a year and got quite boring honestly since there was a limited pool of problems. Especially at the end of junior year when it was useless for apps and whatnot after that point.
But I started doing contests here regularly and really liked the type of problems here, and here we are today, 20 months later :)
God Bless You. There is a great future ahead- of you.
