Two days ago, I read my diary from freshmen year in high school, and noticed how much my life has changed, and how those changes have affected me. As I read the diary, I could remember being the freshmen who had many hopes for high school, and who believed in many things. One of the things I firmly believed back then, was that nothing will change, as long as I tried hard to preserve it. As a senior-to-be now, I've truly realized how naive I had been. Everything changes, and that's how the world evolves. Even if you try hard to stay the same, you cannot stop the people around you from changing.

It is sad tho, when I realize how easy it is for me to accept things now. Whether it be changes, obstacles, injustices, I seem to accept them all with any serious complaints. Sometimes I wish I still haven't accepted the way society is, and stayed the naive freshmen I once was. I know that I am still in high school and havent really seen much yet, but this is the way I feel. It is not because I am pessimistic, but because the world just IS unfair.

 

In sophomore year, I began to write more on blogs using wretch. I was happy to share my everyday happenings, and looked forward to the comments of my friends. However, starting junior year, I did not have much time to reflect and to blog, and instead began to write in private diaries again. Unfortunately, the things I wrote in my diary focused around school work and usually unhappy things.

 

I've noticed that it is always hard for me to blog during the summer, because I usually stay at home and therefore there are rarely anything to write about. Luckily, I will be leaving for Beijing in a day, and I plan on visiting many places that I haven't been to before, and to enjoy lots of food and practice photography. I am also excited about meeting a classmate who I know from my high school in America in Beijing, and I plan on hanging out a lot with her!

I'm really looking forward to the rest of my summer vocation in Beijing, and hoping that I will have some meaningful things to write about in my blogs.

 

Although the coming Senior year will be extremely busy, I do not plan on giving up on blogging.

I have been blogging for 5 years, and I truly appreciate the memories I have saved by doing so.
