Man is an island

An isolated island means not only that there are no islands around us, but also refers to ourselves in life.

Man himself is an isolated island, life is the sea, and the floating islands in the sea are us. Each of us is lonely, and therefore we all crave the company of others. Whether it is family affection, friendship or love, we are just looking for a comfort point.

I don’t know how you feel about going from a familiar place to an environment surrounded by strangers. I feel uneasy in my heart. I came to the university to register in early September 2017. It was noon when I arrived. Even though it was the registration time for the first day, there were still huge crowds of students on the road. I completed all the admission procedures alone with my suitcase, and then went to find the dormitory. When I arrived at the dormitory, I saw no one inside. I thought: "I came here a little early."

I don't know if there are any of my former high school classmates here, even if it's just one person. Shuai Kun, I heard that he is also in this school, but I don’t know what the real situation is. I sent him a message and asked him if he was in the hotel. After a while, he replied, "Yes." This filled my heart with expectations. There is nothing more worth looking forward to than meeting old friends again. Shuai Kun, whose surname is Huang, is in the same class as our first and third year students, so we have known each other for three years. He came earlier than me and had almost all the things he needed. When I came, I didn’t bring bedding, wash basin, shampoo and other daily necessities. I just happened to buy a set now and let him help me take it back to the dormitory.

When the two of us returned to the dormitory, the first person we saw was Lao Ma. His sister was helping him make his bed, and I happened to be on the top bunk. We said hello and Shuaikun and I went out for lunch. Everyone says: "The first person you see at the beginning of school is the most friendly." This is true.

Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan, when I was choosing my major, my dad asked me: "What major do you want to study?" I said to him: "I want to study something related to tourism." Later, I enrolled in Zhengzhou Tourism Vocational College, the “Whampoa Military Academy” in the tourism industry.

Shuai Kun and I had a meal together, and he dropped out of school. During lunch, he told me: "I don't want to stay here and want to drop out of school." I thought he was joking. Who knew that in the afternoon he would go to the finance office to discuss refunding tuition fees. The next day, he left school. After Shuai Kun dropped out of school, Lao Ma and I became dining friends. We ate together. From the beginning of military training to the following days, we almost always ate together.

There are seven people in our dormitory. This was the initial allocation. When we moved to the new campus in our sophomore year, the boys' dormitory was also adjusted. There are only seven people in our dormitory in the whole building - Ma Xianghao, He Kunxing, Liang Chengyi, Chen Ziwei, Li Yizhuo, Wang Minghao and me. Everyone's hobbies must be different. Lao Liang's family is from Zhengzhou and he goes home every Sunday. I like to go out and see the scenery, Lao Ma likes to lie in the dormitory, and the others either go to the Internet cafe or stay in the dormitory to sleep. The first semester is autumn and winter, and the weather is getting colder. I asked them to go out to play, but they didn't go. After I called them a few times, they didn't want to call them anymore. They know that I am not in the dormitory or going to the Internet cafe to play games, so we all play our own games on Sundays. Since they can't blend in with each other, it's better to make their island more lush.

In the first half of the freshman year, I went home once a month, and on other Sundays when I wasn’t home, I went out to visit Zhengzhou. I first went to free places such as Henan Museum, Zhengzhou Museum, Zhengzhou Science and Technology Museum, Zhengzhou Martyrs Cemetery, Yellow River Museum, Henan Geological Museum and Huayuankou Event Memorial Square, etc. Then I went to the zoo, Yellow River Famous Scenic Area, Green Expo, etc. Where there is a fee. I went to the Zoo, Green Expo and Yellow River Museum with my classmates, but I went alone to the rest.

Every time I go somewhere, I hope someone will accompany me, just like cleaning the dormitory. Nine times out of ten, I clean it by myself. Once or twice, it’s okay. Once more, I I felt uncomfortable. Especially when you are cleaning and can't find anyone else, everyone you can see is playing games. These can be regarded as minor conflicts. When we were moving to a new campus at the end of June 2018, I discussed with other dormitory workers about reallocating dormitories. Lao Liang and Minghao want to go out and share a dormitory with Tudeng. Lao Ma, Lao He, Ziwei, and Yi Zhuo want to be with me. I know the reason why they follow me is nothing more than my real work. Finally, Lao He and Lao Ma, the three of us stayed together.

The night before the holiday, the seven of us bought wine and food, drank and talked in the dormitory, ending our freshman year. The moment the seven of us raised our glasses and drank, I felt completely integrated into this dormitory. We didn't have to think about anything, we just drank and chatted tonight. That night, we drank until after one o'clock in the morning, but we didn't even have a meal, but we all drank too much.

"Ten Glasses of Wine" is a tribute to each of them, to myself, and even more to this ridiculous youth.

The first cup of respect for the old horse

May your talent get better and better

Some people appreciate it and some people praise it

Ru Na Bo Le knows a good horse< /p>

The second cup of respect for Lao Liang

May you have no trouble in the future

Find a sincere woman

Understand your heart and listen to you Play the guitar

The third cup of greetings to the elderly

May your dreams be in my heart

Being silent becomes stronger

Seeing the world with your steps< /p>

The fourth cup of Jing Minghao

May your kindness be remembered and cared about

No matter desolate or prosperous

Your talents are enough to support you Let’s raise a piece of sky

The fifth cup of toast to Yi Zhuo

May blessings be common around you

The days to come will become sweeter and sweeter

No. Six cups to Ziwei

May you be diligent and not lazy

It won’t be far back to the past

The seventh cup to yourself

I hope I don’t care too much about everything

Do what you want to do

If the south wall breaks down

The eighth cup is toast to tomorrow

May tomorrow come later

I still want to look at the night

The ninth cup is a toast to friends

May those friends who never abandon you

Don’t forget to move forward if you have a dream in your heart

The tenth cup celebrates youth

May this absurd youth leave only joy and no worries

On the morning of the 28th, we got up at around six o'clock in the morning. After a brief wash, we went to the designated place to gather - in front of the conference room. When we arrived at the place, some people in the class were already waiting for the moving company's car to pick up their luggage. As a car escort, I have to carry as many things as there are things on the car at the destination. After waiting for a while, the car drove over. Everyone filled the car together. I checked the number of items and sat in the passenger seat. The driver started the car and drove forward slowly. I knew that we had a new beginning.

Loneliness is the normal state of human beings. People who can accompany you give you the warmth of the sun, even if it is only for a period. If there is no one around you at this moment, don't panic or feel lonely, because man himself is an island. If you can't have all the "ships" docking around you, then let yourself grow into a leafy one.
