Features: Senior Year, it's indeed an experience, a feeling, a chapter of life. Those who have gone through it will never forget it. Senior Year is the most tiring phase of student life. The hopeful gaze of teachers, the aspirations of parents for their children's success, the fierce competition among classmates, and the pressure from all aspects of society—these all form the unique yet helpless landscape of Senior Year. There are no tears in Senior Year, only laughter, pure laughter! It laughs away everything, leaving only a shell, drifting aimlessly, like the recruitment posters pasted on school corridors. No matter how much adhesive is used, they keep shaking, hula-hula, hula-hula, with white paper and black words, filled with countless separations. Even though the results of the college entrance exam are not satisfactory, my heart is still filled with warmth and gratitude. Every person who has gone through this has become more mature. Suddenly, I remember those unbearable days. The calendar of Senior Year was torn page by page, and the day of the announcement grew closer. Imagining the uncertain future—whether to go to heaven or hell—we had to keep gasping for air amidst the oxygen-deprived stacks of books. Opening the diary of Senior Year, opening those memories filled with both pain and joy, through the words that reflect our laughter and tears, I was moved time and again. I think that no one can predict the future. What is meant to come will come, no matter how much we try to avoid it.
