Cartoons Are Not Only for Children

I got a phone call yesterday. It was from my mom. When she asked me what I was doing, I told her I was watching a cartoon. Then, she said: "Oh my God! How old are you?" I felt kind of angry, but I already decided I would not argue with her, and I would control my emotion. So, I just told her, cartoons are not only for children.
When other people laugh at me when I am watching cartoons, I always have this question in my mind: why cannot adults love cartoons? All the brilliant artists who produce those brilliant, interesting, and funny cartoons are adults. They can produce such good cartoons because they love their jobs. They love cartoons. They enjoy what they are doing. Those artists first produce cartoons for themselves, then for children.
Cartoons are actually a subject combined with high technology, good performance, and, the most important, good stories. Many people can spend several years to produce a good cartoon.
Watching cartoons is the best way to release stress and tension for me. When I am watching a cartoon, I just forget all the difficulties that I face. I don't need to think about anything. I can just lay back and enjoy. Additionally, as a prospective designer, cartoons can inspire me a lot. I always find many new and interesting ideas in cartoons.
I love cartoons! I just cannot live without cartoons!

Take Care of The Love We Received

Today is the Moon Festival in China. Moon Festival is at August 15th in lunar year. We believe this is the day that we can see the most round moon in a year. It is a festival for families to spend together, view the moon, and eat moon cakes.
I received a video call this morning when I just got up. It was form my parents. They said happy Moon Festival to me, and asked me if I had good time in college so far. Then, I talked to my grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins. They all sent their best wishes to me. I felt something warm flowed in my deep heart. I almost cried. I felt I was not alone, even though my family and I are thousands miles apart.
After the video call, I realized I just argued with my mom several days ago because she was keep talking to me when I was busy doing my homework. I felt regret. When we receive such unconditional love from our family members and friends, we think they suppose to love us, and we do not really take care of their love. We always shout at our parents and say they are annoying, but talk to other person, even a stranger, nicely. We always hurt the person who loves us.
So, we should cherish and take care of the love we received. It is such a priceless precious in our entire life.

Little Things About Me

 I forgot to write comments for you guys last week. I am really sorry about that.
I have stayed in this beautiful town, which is in the middle of nowhere, for several weeks. However, after a suite meeting last night, I realized that even though we lived in the same suite, and maybe go to the same classes, we did not know each other very well. So, I want to talk about some little things about myself and my life today.
I am Yilin Ren, a wonderful Chinese young lady. My hometown is located in Southwestern China, a beautiful place with so much delicious food, (I am not sure whether I should use "many delicious foods" or "much delicious food" here), and it is called Yunnan. I attended high school in Florida for two years. I love everything there, such as palm trees, lakes,  swamps, beaches, ducks, lizards, and, of course, alligators. But I hate spiders. Every time when I saw a spider in my bedroom, I screamed and did everything possible to kill it. I love pets, but I never had one if goldfish does not count. I love cartoons. My favorite cartoon is How to Train your Dragon. It tells me always be willing to try new things and be myself. Also, I like to stay in the room alone for long time. Every time I reject my suitemates politely when they ask me if I would like to go to a party or a football game with them, they always look at me like I am an anti-social person, but I am really not. I just like to stay quietly. I major in Architecture. I love architecture because I feel powerful and satisfied when I bring the materials, sometimes just a piece of paper, to live. I like my professor too. She is an elegant and wise woman. She is like a philosopher when she critiques our work and gives homework to us. She always says: " I know you don't understand what I said just now. Your homework is to figure out what the homework is". I hate to get up early. I will struggle in my bed for half hour before starting to put on my clothes. I do not like to use umbrella when it is raining. I feel good to walk in the rain, although my mom always shout at me about this. I am lazy. My mom always shout at me about this too.
Here is everything coming up to my mind about myself now. I hope you will find I am a nice and easygoing person, though I do not talk much, in the future.

New Challenge in College

To begin with, I need to say that writing is really a thing drives me crazy, especially writing in English. I am really not a good writer, but I will try my best to avoid grammar and spelling mistakes in my blogs. 

This is my second week in college. To be honest, I did not adjust to my new life yet. When I wake up in the morning, sometimes, I think I am still in my bedroom in Florida. My life changes so much, not only the daily routine and environment, but also the lifestyle. There are also new challenges appear to my life, such as how to handle the relationship with people, how to make my daily life fits in my class schedule, and the most important, how to take the responsibility. There are two things make me feel responsibility is so important, one is I need to handle my academic life by myself, the other is I need to be responsible for other people.
When I was in high school in Florida, my counselor took care of almost all the academic problems for me, such as choosing classes, making schedule, and taking care of my grades. Besides, teachers in high school would remind the classes about the homework, quizzes, and tests. Now in college, it is all my responsibility to find out which class I should take, how to make the schedule works better, and when is the homework due. I missed my first deadline in my Architecture class because I did not hear my professor clearly, and she did not take any of my excuses. I feel so sorry for my counselor about those days in high school that I went to her office and asked her for help twice a day. I know how hard it is to be responsible for all my academic problems now.
Another thing happened in this Monday made me feel the importance of responsibility. Last week, students who major in Architecture all received an assignment. We got two little pieces of fragments of a photo, and we needed to draw them out but on two sheets of paper which are five times larger than the original ones. We brought our finished work to class on the Monday morning and put all fragments together, then we got a huge picture of the Main Street. I saw how each person's effort worked as a whole in this project. The huge art work shocked me both visually and psychologically. We take responsibilities for ourselves and for others. This is how the society works.
Therefore, responsibility is the most important challenge for me in college. Without taking care of my responsibility, I cannot go any further in my new adventure. I am trying my best to be a real hokie.
