Well goes the saying, "Touch pitch, and you will be defiled". That is to say, if you are living in a certain environment, you'll be affected by the surroundings. What you know or the way of speech and living will resemble people around you.

 

What I wanna say is to make different kinds of friends, talk to them, learn from them, and you'll surely benefit a lot.

 

Recently, after I had a dinner with my friends not meeting for a long time, I realized that how small and isolated world I am living in! The world outside is so rich and colorful, but I am blind to them in my 3-year's university life. All my roommates do is playing computer games. They even didn't have lessons! Not being affected by them, I have no choice but go to the library in most time. We had never gone outside together such as travelling, picnic or even shopping. And what we talked about most were basketball and football. They would exchange their experience on computer games, which I didn't participate in.

 

One of my friend who had dinner that day has a good job. He told me a lot about his job and analyzed the current situation of the employment. I was truely grateful for his answering on my questions, which made me clearer on my future and what I should do now.

 

The other one was a girl who pick the restaurant near my university. She was amazingly familiar with the surroundings near my university. Where to buy a cheaper T-shirt or where to have delicious food, she knew good about it. I have lived here for nearly 3 years but never know these things. How sorrowful...

 

During the dinner they were talking about movies, not the adventurous Hollywood blockbusters, not the horrible Japanese horror movies but the old literary films full of art. They told me that these movies could not make people excited but they can lead us to think. I didn't like watching movies. It made me be kind of an ignoramus at that time.

 

Yes, I find a distance between them and me. What the hell was I doing in my univeristy? I need to learn more. But how? Maybe to talk with different kinds of people, I'll find my weak point just as I said above. Then I can have chance to make them up.
