Corrections

Original:

What’s life? Life is so short! My friend’s grandpa passed away yesterday, and I realized their generation is leaving the world gradually, and our parents are facing the lose of their parents.

Next year is the 10th year that I graduated from college. How time flies! I don’t want to celebrate it at all. Maybe because I don’t have any valuable contribution or achievements. Or I just don’t have any emotional feeling to the classmates in college. Actually, after I write these down, it’s approved that all these are the reasons.

What is life? Life is so short! My friend’s grandpa passed away yesterday, and I realized that their generation is gradually leaving the world, and our parents are facing the loss of their parents.

Next year is the 10-year anniversary of my college graduation. How time flies! I don’t want to celebrate it at all. Maybe because I don’t have any valuable contributions or achievements. Or maybe it’s just that I don’t have any emotional connections  with my college classmates. Actually, writing these down served as a confirmation that these are actually the reasons.
