Needs more review
When I was in college, there were some remarks that talked about my best friend, but I didn’t buy this argument cuz my friend is reliable. I told her to try to avoid reading these remarks, and to keep the way she is. However she finally dropped pulled out of school cuz she couldn’t bear it.
In the past, I thought going to college can obtain educational benefits, whereas this thing changed my mind completely. I couldn’t understand why people were wrong about her. It was also because of this thing, my grades took a nosedive.
