We all want this feeling at the end of the semester.

Thank God for friends that do this.

This meme defines one of the aspects of my college experience so far. I definitely took for granted all the free textbooks that I received when I was in high school and miss having that privilege.

TFTC (too frat to care)

I’m Asian and math is my favorite subject.

Diving in NY, possible?

Many people, especially from New York have told me they love the pool and love swimming. The pool is an  amazing place to go, but the question is, how many people know what’s under our lovely harbor? Few people go in our ocean because of how people say that New Yorks waters are polluted.. This isn’t the case, not all of New Yorks waters are polluted, it’s just a dangerous place to dive in. I experienced the waters thanks to my school, a public school called New York Harbor School, it has 6 different careers that helps low income students to succeed in life without the need of a college degree. We went diving in some places, and one of the places was here, under our beloving Harbor. Many Divers around the world would never dive in New York, not only because of its visibility, current and temperature but also because they believe everything is dead down there. I experienced diving under the Hudson, and I can tell you, it’s one of the coolest places you can experience. Yes, other places have clearer and nicer waters and more colorful reefs, but New York diving is more strange, you don’t know what can appear, you can see a Blye Crab swimming, our randomly you see a rock like thing move, before noticing it was a Horshoe Crab. It’s a nice place to be in, and I think it’s something that most of New York teens should experience.. It IS their city, Right?

The idea of moving to a different country in a different continent at the age of twelve was something I was not looking forward to.  I feared flying on the plane, thinking it would crash. I feared going to school and having to learn a new language. I feared seeing my dad for the first time in many years. I feared everything. I especially was not looking towards saying goodbye to my friends. I didn’t want to leave them, thinking that they would forget about me. In fact, some of them did, but there are still some people that I remain in touch with. I am thankful that not all of my friendships came to an end, but at least I realized who are my real friends and who I can count on.
