Hi - this is a very good post! And thank you for sharing your thoughts. Good luck with the application process.

My Thinking On My 22rd Single Day

Although the Single Day this year has been almost 24 hours behind me right now almost 24 hours have past since this year's Single Day, I still want to record ("share" may be a better word, as the word "share" evokes a more personal feeling, whereas "record" evokes a more non-personal feeling, as in "recording what my boss said") what was on my mind on that special day.

It was my 22nd Single Day in my life to be exact, but the last one in my college years (my undergraduate years at least). I submitted my applications for seven schools on this day, expecting that I will get admitted by at least one of them in the near future, which would incur be a huge difference change to my life (the reason why I made this change is that "incur" typically is used in situations where you are counting something; for example, "every time someone complains I incur losses" - it's often used in negative situations. I also changed "difference" to "change" because that's the way most people would describe such an event - "it's a big change in life".).

Afterwards, I couldn’t help thinking over the meaning of the life while most of others were dedicated to fancy parties and crazy shopping war. The graduation Graduating from university seems like a boundary between naive juveniles and real grown-ups. Whether I will be accepted into my dream schools or I will take the offer from Ernst & Young, for sure, I will have to be go (I recommend "go" because it is something you have not yet done, but something in the future. Using the combination of "will have to" and "go" reinforces that idea) far away from where I was raised and grew up ("raised" and "grew up" mean the same thing), I will be separating separated from my family and old friends for a long while time.

A great good (the English phrase is "a good chance") chance exists that it could be years before I fly back home for a get-together from another the other side of the hemisphere if I am enrolled into my dream schools as I wish. Having been fighting to accumulate knowledge and experience through my undergraduate years, am I fully prepared for the changes in my life? Am I truly ready for this? will-be Will I be homesick? Will I adapt to my new life and enjoy it indeed? Will I find my true love and get find new faithful friends? Will I find as good a job as the one I have now? one or two years after the graduation from graduate school?

All those doubts flooded into my brain, haunting me and dragging me in such a profound thought. Yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery – sadly, that is what the truth is all about. Who knows what will happen the next second? It is more practical to fix our attention on what happens to us at present – this year, this month, this day, this hour, this minute, and this second. But, sometimes, it benefits us to take a careful thinking over the subject about what we really want, a compass directs throughout our lifetime, even though most of the time, for most of the people, no specific conclusion comes out of such thinking.

I Ssincerely hope that I will be enrolled into the schools I applied, and wish this could be my last Single Day in my life!
