What's next?


I think of my sister, who had earned her first money and wanted to by me a present; i think of my best friend who asked me if we could hang out again after my leaving; i think of my roommates who needed my support to keep moving forward; i think of my mother who missed me every minute but always tell me she likes being alone. i think about death, which i had thought thousands of times, and i think about my strong father who got the disease my grandpa had caught. i am scared, i saw my father had the same symptoms like my dead grandpa, and i saw he did the same thing his father did before. i remember my sadness; i remember my grandpa's pain; i remember an old person had prayed to die in order to get the relief. but, my father, he is only 47... i can't imagine! it's just the same prelude that performed as my grandpa did a dozen years ago. just like to see a tragedy, you know the bad ending and it had happened on one of your family. when it's over, it happened again. i don't know, if it will happen on me some day, if i can face the reality? how can i save my family? how can i hold a friend? if everything had to leave, what can i keep? and who wants to stay?

One Day I Thought...

One of my best friends said that if I felt unhappy, just added heavy things in the key’s ring, then threw them down…on the ground, after that, everything would go back its way…but, I am awful, I had tried times and times, but I still can’t make it…

While old friends leave off one by one, new friends will come forth immediately…I believe that. It could be true. … I’ve almost forgot what I said before: “friendship is not a puff of smoke, disappears as it spirals up to the wind; friendship is not the image in a mirror, breaks up as it falls down on the ground. It’s steady and eternal. A friend will stand by you whatever happens.” … Sometimes, I feel tired, then I run around my block, loops by loops…just wait, waiting for the time to deprive my life, also take away my memories…

In the real world, it’s always that lonely, no one can be the sustentation of another. I have owed much…from my birth—we always possess great things without consciousness, even sometimes it could be against our wills… so we repay them in our rest life…when, sometime, we have totally paid off, we could release, and die with a smile…

Sports or Not?

Nowadays, more and more people are joining in the group which plays dangerous sports and doing dangerous activities. These kinds of games or activities have been popularized among the mass, especially among the teenagers. Many people consider those people crazy and insane, while some others think that those players show people the human courage. The debate has never been stopped and is still going on today. I think there is no right or wrong between the people who hold different opinions. Knowing the deep spirit hidden behind those behaviors is more practical for us.

The reason why people are attracted to those dangerous sports is that by playing dangerous sports, people get a kind of sense of achievement. As we all know, people need the sense of achievements. Some get them from the success of academic discoveries, while some seek them from the sports and games. As the kinds of sports vary widely, there are some groups of people with strong desire who chose to devote their energy and spare the efforts in those sports considered dangerous by the public. Those sports seem dangerous for us, but for them, they are of no difference to the common sports we know. By playing dangerous games, the players receive the same respects which come to the players playing normal sports.

Would you like to study history ?

As the demand of knowledge increases quickly all over the world, many students in universities are required wider range of knowledge. History, as a very important subject which interprets the human knowledge in a chronological method, is more and more demanded by the university students. There comes a debate that whether history should be added to the compulsory course list or not. When I was asked I felt that forcing students of every major to study history is a very bad idea.

First and foremost, to let the non-history major students study history is actually a waste of time and energy. The time and energy of a single college student is quite limited. Another important reason is that for most of the students who do not major in history, especially those who major in science, history is actually of no use for them. Though the demand of variety of knowledge of an individual is increasing, to do well in one’s major is the most important.The last reason why history should not be studied by all students is that for those students who do not major in history, taking history course may decrease their GPA and may lead to a lack of confidence or other psychological problems.

In brief, though history is very important, it should not be demand on all the students of different majors. We can study it according to our interests upon it when we are free. But it should not be a compulsory course in college.
