All about Hye Jee

I’ve found over the course of my life that I’m most awkward when I’m introducing myself. So, apologies in advance if I make anyone cringe.

My name is Hye Jee Kim, and I’m a junior. Guess where I go to school. My interests are mostly theoretical. For example, I love the fresh, bright, lush concept of the outdoors, but I despise the damp, muddy, insect-filled reality of it. Depressing, right? The same goes for Twitter, quinoa, lakes and the Central Library. Love the idea, hate the actuality. There are a few exceptions to this rule; the Internet, musicals, NYC, the Internet, dark chocolate, and the Internet are the main ones. If you couldn’t tell, I love the Internet, namely Netflix. It consumes 67% of my life and spirals my life out of control. Yet for some reason, I love it and willingly (and enthusiastically) fork over $8 a month to sustain my addiction. Outside of Netflix, the Internet can seem like a mess. But every so often, as you’re combing through the dumping ground of duck faces, #Don’tJudgeMe’s, and Ashley Madison hacks, you encounter something magical.  For example:

 

Watch this and bask in it’s majesty. This is the second time I’ve mentioned this video to one of my teachers this week, and I have no regrets.

I’m hoping to do more than showing my teachers Actual Cannibal Shia LaBeouf this year. I also want to maintain my GPA, which I will do with the coffee and highlighter, get 5’s on my AP tests, and not fail at the new PSAT. I’m still furious and slightly offended (I don’t know why) that they chose to change it the year we take it for national merit. In fact, if I had a superpower, it would be the ability to conjure up any information I need. That way, I wouldn’t have to worry about studying. Or school. I could probably just live as a stage performer and trick people into giving me money by “reading their minds”. That would be great.

You know what would also be great? Being able to transition into a new paragraph smoothly. Hopefully I’ll learn that this year because clearly that’s a skill that I lack. I had an abundance of meaningful moments over the summer. However, I have to peg the moment that I bit into a ShackBurger for the first time as the most meaningful. Imagine the feeling that Einstein had when he figured out the theory of relativity, that “I’ve discovered something that will change the world!” feeling. That’s what I felt. 

Ending this entry, I’m realizing that I’ve written more than twice as much than the minimum. I guess I’m talkative. Sorry.
