Friends From High School And Their Boyfriends
Today, I got invited to a KakaoTalk chatroom.
My friends from high school were in it.
I haven't contacted them for a long time.
My friends said hello to me and asked why I hadn't contacted them.
Actually, I happened to reset my phone, so I lost all of my contacts.
As soon as we said hello to each other, my friends began to talk about their boyfriends.
I had no choice but to keep silent because I didn't know anything about their boyfriends and I don't have one.
I just watched as they talked.
One of my friends told me, "Min, Why are you keeping silent? :P"
They already knew that I didn't have a boyfriend !! ㅠ _ㅠ
I thought they were trying to make fun of me.
My friends showed me what they did with their boyfriends.
They sent many photos : being witht their boyfriend, making some stuff for their boyfriend, and photos of their dates.When I saw those photos, I was a little confused.
I suddenly felt like my friends became an adult and left me behind.
They were not the that high school girls I remembered anymore.
Soon, I realized that I was a the high school girl anymore, either.
It has been 2 years since I graduated from high school.
In high school, we dreamed of many things : love, new hobbies, club activities, trips...
At least, my friends have achieved one of those dreams.
In my case, I think I achieved all of the things I dreamed about except for one : love.
After graduating from high school, my life has been full of what I looked forward to.
Now, I have many hobbies, joined many clubs, and went on some trips.
That's enough for them. However, I have forgotten the most important thing !
I had never found love until now. But, I can't do anything with it.
I think love consists of destiny 98% and of trials 2%.
I thought that I had achieved many more things than my friends.
But, I had not. I had missed the most important and difficult task.
I feel like I am getting back to the starting point.0 votedJanuary 4, 20142Correction Request
In Korea, students have vacations in during the summer and winter. Summer vacation goes from June until the end of August, and winter vacation from the middle of December to the end of February. New semesters start in March and September. In Korea, studying is really important to most students. Most study hard to enter universities requiring a high score on the entrance exam, because in Korea, one's educational background is very crucial. To be considered for good universities, students take part in private lessons, because they think that classes in school are not that helpful for the entrance exam. They believe that schoolteachers are not that influential, and most students ignore the teachers. In Korea, competition in education is very severe. Some students have even committed suicide from failing to enter a university. I'm a university student, but I still have to study hard to work for promising companies. I have to study English and I also have to study for some certificates. Besides, the school record in a university is also important. Even if I get a job in the future, I have to study hard to get a promotion. I have to study for life!! In Korea, the knowledge we get from school is not all that helpful. We just memorize and become familiar with solving several kinds of problems in order to take the exam. We have to study not only for exams but also for our jobs and our lives.
Nice post. I have tried to make things a little more natural. This is my first correction on this website so maybe I changed too much or did something incorrectly! I am sorry I am not sure how to highlight all the changes yet or if this is supposed to happen automatically.
