I am a student who majored in science. I couldn’t understand how the students who majored in arts think. We are more logical, and sometimes arts students emotional. In fact, science students like to make decisions before they do anything, and arts students, they do anything when they think about that, such as one of my friend, she wanted to hike in HuangShan with me. She didn’t do any decisions and she didn’t tell when she will come here, what’s her plan, even I need to push her to buy tickets.

Revised

I am a student who majored in science. I couldn’t understand the behaviors of arts students.  We are more logical, and sometimes arts students are more emotional. In fact, science students like to plan ahead before they do anything, and arts students just do whatever they want without planning. One of my friend, she wanted to hike in HuangShan with me. She didn’t plan for anything, and she didn’t tell when she will come here, what’s her plan, I even had to push/rush her to buy tickets.
