Features: I have rarely paid attention to the crowds passing by anymore. Perhaps it's because they're too familiar, and every day, I offer the same smile in return for the same one. Suddenly, without notice, a stranger's face appears before me, and my programmed smile receives a different response—whether confident, shy, joyful, or helpless. Or at that moment, my own eyes tell me: It's graduation time again. Graduation is once again before me, yet at the same time—what does graduation really mean? This becomes an inescapable knot in my thoughts. Four years later, they will no longer be the "princesses of the imperial family," but rather face the "selection competition" of ordinary people. An ordinary person who has just left school, lacking social experience, ample funds, and a network of interpersonal support, how can they fight for their own piece of the world, how can they turn the unknown X into their own capital? Piercing through the fog to see the sunshine. Once the halo of career and salary expectations in the eyes of others is removed, what remains is still the same person working from 9 to 5, rushing back and forth for a living. "Taking the postgraduate entrance exam isn't a complete change, because years later, you still face the pressure of employment and still have to face an unknown world." For every GGMM who wants to study and achieve success overseas, the GRE and TOEFL, as well as the increasingly popular IELTS, have become obstacles that must be overcome.
