College admission Anybody who's currently a Korean high school senior or had been one will understand that it's virtually impossible to do ANYTHING else than doing school courseworks and studying for 수능. I knew that, even before going to high school and as years past, from sophomore to junior, it came across more vividly. And now, as I'm typing this(virtually whining) so maybe someone will read it and save my soul, sympathize and console me, I can just feel that I'm wasting my time. Well, maybe it's not that much of a wasting. Maybe the admission office might find this notebook entry doing background evaluation. (Hey there.) so.. yeah

College admission

Anybody who's currently a Korean high school senior or has been one will understand that it's virtually impossible to do ANYTHING else other than doing school courseworks and studying for 수능. I knew that even before going to high school and as years passed, from sophomore to junior, it came across more vividly.
And now, as I'm typing this (whining virtually) so maybe someone will read it and save my soul, sympathize and console me, I can just feel that I'm wasting my time. Well, maybe it's not that much of a waste. Maybe the admission office might find this notebook entry while doing background evaluation. (Hey there.)

so..
yeah

I don't know if I can save your soul but good luck with your application! I'm sure you'll be fine. Let me know if you need any help!
A couple notes:

Had indicates the past perfect tense. You only need present perfect here because you're not trying to connect two different times in the past, only the past to the present.

Work is uncountable in the sense that you are using it here

The extra comma after "I knew that" makes the sentence unclear, it sounds like you're adding a subclause before going back to the main clause, but actually what you mean is contained within the single main clause.

"Passed" is the past tense of "to pass", past is a totally different word!

"Virtually whining" uses the word "virtual" to mean "almost" or "basically". If we swap the words around then we get something that's more related to virtual reality, i.e., posting on italki.

There was no need to use the gerund "wasting" when the noun "waste" fits perfectly here.
