Let's meet up...

"Let's meet up!" is one of my favorite things to say. I love spending times with people. I love deep conversations and feelings that come out from intimate settings. One of great things about my community here is that I get to always interact with various age groups. All of them give various perspectives to my limited thinking capacity...

1) Younger people
For this year, I only have remedy bros and sis.. hahaha.
They are always excited to share about their first year and their observations. I feel brand new passion, and exuberance in their stories, gestures and stuff. Sometimes, they really challenge me, reminding me that I have been losing enthusiasm that I used to have.

When i share my limited experience or whatever, they tend to listen carefully and give warm respects (at least ones that I am close to). I hope they do hahaha.

Plus, I usually try to pay for their meals or coffees. It is not because I am rich or anything..but I believe that I have to give back all the blessings I have got since I was young.

2) Peers
I remember we all used to eat at southquad all together and stay at angel until 4 0r 5 am - just talking about so many things...

This year is little different. Thankfully, since most of us live in south/west quads, we still often eat together and study together at wedge room. (oh, wedge room, where real conversations come out!) There are always some juicy stuff to share.

Because we got little busier this year with many things, it has been harder to even catch up with many people...but there is always a sense of closeness or tightness among us even though we do not see each other everyday.

Typical topics:
1) everyday struggle
2) sophomore slumps?
3) I hate studying
4) church...stuff?
5) "i cannot believe springbreak is over!!"

3) Oldies
I love talking to older brothers and sisters...they always teach me something cool or deep every time. There are some brothers that I have been meeting up consistently. The hardest part would be when they become truly "REAL" with me and challenge me - but it is always humbling to see them sharing their previous mistakes or lessons.

Typical topics:
1) Girl issues
2) Emotional breakdown
3) Future callings
4) "I have to make a decision"
5) "I don't know what to do with my life!"
6) "Guy" stuff
7) spiritual battles
