Thoughts on the start of the school year

   Time flies like an arrow, and a month-long holiday has passed just like that. The carefree life during the holiday is coming to an end, and everything seems like a fleeting dream. We're back in our familiar school, back in our bright and clean classrooms studying...

  A new semester brings new beginnings. The second semester of junior high is crucial, with exams coming one after another, which makes me feel pressured. However, I must manage my stress appropriately and not let fear hold me back. The moment I arrived at school, I told myself, "I'll give it my all; I can only rely on myself."

  On Monday morning, we had a themed activity, "Back to School, Talking About the Holiday," where everyone shared their experiences... Our group first discussed what we did during the Spring Festival. We said, "Even though we're so developed now, we're getting to know each other less and less. Mobile phones and the internet confine us to the virtual world, making us forget our loved ones." If we could, we'd love to go back to the past, to have a truly joyful world again.

  Later, we talked about TV dramas, and I proudly declared, "I'm not watching dramas anymore!" I remember last semester there was a TV series called "The Princess Weiyoung" that really captivated me. I was late for school several Sundays, and I didn't want to turn it off. I even dreamed about the plot at night; I was practically obsessed! But in the end, it didn't really help. During winter break, my group recommended two shows, but the plots were similar to the ones I watched before—they were getting worse and worse. Plus, with all the pressure of studying now, I really didn't want to watch any more.

  We chatted like this, and time flew by. Before we even finished talking, class was over. In the afternoon and evening, we had our winter break tests.

  New semester, new look, a different me.

There's a kind of meeting that feels like a long-awaited encounter.

     When     I first arrived in this city, the weather was a hazy, grayish white. It was already the height of summer, and there was a humid, stifling heat.     At the subway exit, I saw Mo Xiaobei struggling to find me in the crowd. She took my suitcase, then pretended to be incredibly strong, smiling happily at me and revealing her cute little tiger teeth. I followed Mo Xiaobei through several subway stops until we finally arrived at her rented room. The moment I opened the door, it felt like I had entered a disaster zone. Just as I had imagined, her room was a mess. Several pairs of shoes were scattered haphazardly on the floor, and bottles and jars were strewn about on the table, along with leftover food that had been moldy for days. I turned to look at Mo Xiaobei, who scratched her head sheepishly. "I haven't cleaned the house these past few days. Since you're here, could you help me tidy up?" I knew she was always like this, so I shook my head h...

Five-degree slanted characters (Part 2)

    Chi Zhoumu played three games of League of Legends in a row. Whenever he encountered a problem he couldn't figure out, he had to shift his focus to prevent himself from being trapped by his chaotic thoughts. After the three games, Chi Zhoumu stared at the computer for a long time, lost in thought. "No, I have to go out for a walk and relax," Chi Zhoumu thought to himself.      When Chi Zhoumu went out, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The streetlights emitted a quiet, dim yellow light, and only a few people were running on the playground. The moonlight was faint, casting overlapping shadows, and the road was deserted. He went to the pavilion, sat down on a bench, and lazily admired the reflection of the library lights on the lake. Two or three couples were scattered on the small island in the lake. "It's hard to find such peace and harmony in the bustling city," he thought.      After sitting for about twenty minutes, just as he was ...

Looking up at the starry sky

     The night is deep, and I can't fall asleep alone. I open the window and see the twinkling stars, but are you the brightest one?     I remember the first time I saw you was in my final year of junior high. I stood nervously behind you, watching my classmates register one by one, and my name was left unassigned. Yes. I was timid and cowardly, and because I didn't have the money for tuition, I didn't dare to speak to you. I just stood there, standing there.     Later, you noticed me, smiled slightly, and asked, "Have you registered?" I shook my head. You asked again, "Are you having trouble?" I nodded. "Come with me!" When I took out my blankets from a corner of the school, I saw tears in your eyes; and I couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears. You took the blankets, took my hand, and walked towards the dormitory building.     I've always thought of myself as a stubborn child, someone no one could melt the thick ice in my hea...
