MILITARY SERVICE

As usual, I’m going to talk about what I did during the weekend. Oh before that, I was doing workout on Thursday at night in Marino Center and thirty minutes after, my friend texted me if I would like to join the Karaoke around 11:00 pm. I had a dilemma to decide since I had a Spanish presentation the next day morning that needed some practice time, but I really wanted to go to Karaoke too for a long time. 30 minutes passed, and then I decided to go back to my dorm room, shower, and be ready to jam in Karaoke. And I did not regret singing and dancing with my OG crew members for 2 hours. 

Yesterday night, I met my old high school friends again but this time also with a BU friend whom I have known since middle school. We ate at the Kaju Tofu house at Allston, and the food was super good, like I highly recommend all of you guys to try one there. Then, we visited the Beard Papa’s that sold cream and ice-cream breads. Again, these were also super good. I ate two ice-cream breads, one with green tea flavor and the other one with vanilla, and the rest of my friends regretted for not ordering the ice-cream breads and ordering a regular cream bread instead. Then, we all went to one of my friends’ room to watch horror movies staying up late until 5:00 am. This time, we watched one Korean movie and one American movie. I watched a film “Sinister” and it was scary, there were several jump scares, and I loved the plot twist at the end. I recommend you guys to watch it at midnight like us! 

Today, I woke up at 12:30 pm and ate lunch in BC cafeteria. The chocolate pancake was super tasty, and I hope one day Northeastern prepare some chocolate pancakes too. My friend and I started talking about going to the Korean military service soon. So, it’s like this mandatory service where Korean male are forced to go to a military service in chosen area of South Korea for a year and a half. And I can’t find any benefits for me to serve in the military. I would literally be wasting my time doing something that does not help me for my future as a career and for my life. For a year and a half, I would be gone in Boston and stop my student learning until September of 2021 and then start as a 2nd grade of pharmacy student. It means that I will be graduating two years after my present pharmacy friends graduate. I know that it will be a one-time experience that might turn into a good recall some time but really one year and a half is too much. Still, I decided to join the army this year and not after I graduate because it is worse to think of joining the army after graduation and before getting a job.
