136 – Future hopes
“Ugh… I don’t want to listen to culture…”
The major class was over, but I saw Minho slamming his face on the desk and crying, saying he didn’t like the liberal arts class.
If I don’t leave quickly, I will have to leave because it will be a nuisance to the next class.
Still, I was curious, so I shook Minho, who was about to turn over, to his feet.
It was a little scary to see him looking like he was on the verge of death from exhaustion.
A person can fall to this level.
“What culture?”
“Life, death, and religion.”
“I think it’ll be fun?”
Isn’t this the culture I tried to listen to but failed?
I remember it was quite popular because it was a no-pass game.
And the rating on ETA wasn’t bad either.
However, Minho left an evaluation that was unexpected.
“The content is interesting. But the professor is very strict.”
If a professor says it’s tough, there may be two reasons.
You have an eccentric personality, or the assignment or test is too difficult.
Most of them are the latter, and the former is harder to find than you might think.
University is a place where it is difficult for someone with a broken personality to live as a professor.
“Now that I think about it, you said there were a lot of tasks.”
“Now, even on days when there are no classes, assignments are given through group chat…”
“That’s a bit…”
If I do something like that in the class I’m taking, I’ll be getting a 0 on the assignment because I don’t do it every day.
No matter how good a professor is, there are limits. Isn’t it possible that students are mistaken in thinking that they only listen to their classes?
Otherwise, this is something I don’t understand.
“They think we’re only taking their classes.”
Minho seems to think so too.
Then, he took a piece of gum out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, and started chewing it.
You seem to be quite stressed.
“Would you like to give me one too?”
“Yes.”
I put the gum I received from Minho in my mouth and chewed it.
The clean taste of xylitol leaves your mouth feeling refreshed.
As I was chewing something, I felt like I was going to fall asleep.
“I wouldn’t have been able to study without gum.”
“Because you’re tired?”
“Besides that, I have a hard time concentrating unless I’m chewing something.”
“Isn’t it the opposite of adding…”
That is why eating and drinking is not recommended during class time.
If you are chewing something in your mouth, you become absorbed in it and things do not enter your ears.
“So? You’ve never missed an assignment again?”

“Nothing. Not yet.”
“Not yet?”
So does that mean it will happen soon?
Minho is quite determined, and he is the type of guy who will do anything, so he is scary for no reason.
“So, for this assignment, I’m going to go on strike.”
“Your grade will only be lowered.”
Then what should I do to get an F and just eat it all up?
I won’t give you an F for not completing an assignment, but isn’t there such a thing as a shameful crime?
I understand that awarding credits in the first place is at the professor’s discretion, so there is no problem if they are given randomly.
When I think about it that way, I think it’s a really bad idea to rebel against the professor.
“It’s okay, it’s not much. And it’s not even a major.”
“Hmm… Well, it’s your grades.”
Well, just don’t take that professor’s class from now on.
It is one of the possible ideas because it is not a major but a liberal arts field.
Looking at Jeonghwan sitting next to me, he also has a face full of worry.
If Minho looked like he was on the verge of death from exhaustion, do you think Junghwan looked like he was on the verge of breaking from exhaustion?
The difference between a physical metaphor and a mental metaphor is different.
“Clearly, we both took the same liberal arts course. Can’t we do it together?”
“Every day is an individual assignment. And each person giving the assignment has a different topic, so we can’t do it together.”
“Wow…That’s so harsh.”
How serious do you have to be about an alternative assignment to do such a crazy thing?
Wasn’t there more than 5 classes in that class?
How can the assignment be different for each person giving it?
It is unimaginable to me to check each assignment and assign the correct answer.
I would probably lose my mind if I did something like that.
No, the captain of that class is already on the verge of going crazy.
“Junghwan, you’re not the captain of that liberal arts class, are you?”
“That’s right….”
“Ah…Cheer up…”
I think I can understand why it is in that state.
In a word, a captain is like a class president.
I’m busy taking care of assignments every day, but I also have to deal with not only my own work but also keeping up with the professor.
It’s terrible, it’s terrible.
“Still, the professor confirmed A+.”
“No one had any complaints… Except those who were taking the professor’s class for the first time.”
What that means is that even though it is difficult and frustrating, it is still worth taking the class.
Then again, the reason the captain doesn’t want to do it is because he thinks the disadvantages are too great compared to the merits.
“Should I just get an F and give up my grades? I heard you can do it in your third year.”
“Once you get to third grade, you won’t have time to take liberal arts.”
“Ugh..Is that so?”
From the 3rd year onwards, there is no time to take general education.
All classes are filled with majors, and students have to take liberal arts classes in their spare time.
It becomes quite difficult to take liberal arts classes.
Unless you are retaking the course, general education courses are treated as lectures from the lower grade.
You cannot apply right away when registering for a course, but you can apply only when you make a course correction.
“Still, it won’t be difficult to get the credits for graduation in our department, so you may be able to take at least one…”
“Then of course….”
I didn’t encourage it, but I said it wouldn’t be difficult.
Minho was filled with thoughts of making an F grade, as if he was tempted.
In times like this, returning Minho to reality is
Isn’t this the meaning of a friend’s existence?
“No. The end of the semester is next month anyway, so just listen.”
“Ugh…Bad guy…”
“I’m doing this for you, but what makes me such a bad guy?”
I smiled bitterly as I looked at Minho, who was face down with his head on the desk again, and took out the bag hanging on the right side.
I put in all the major books one by one.
So, Jeonghwan, who was listening to our conversation, spoke to me.
“What do you think about listening?”
“Oriental cultural history? Not bad.”
“I’m jealous…I should have heard that too.”
Junghwan, who was feeling extremely tired, expressed envy toward me.
From what I heard, Jeonghwan really likes history.
“But since it was called Oriental cultural history, I thought it was the history of Northeast Asia, but it included all of Southeast Asia.”
“Hmm… Then doesn’t that make it too difficult?”
“I also find the history of Japan and China interesting because it is related to the history of the Korean Peninsula, but places like Vietnam…”
“Ah…That wouldn’t be fun.”
To be honest, I don’t know anything about the history of Indochina Peninsula countries like Vietnam or Thailand.
If you remember anything, is it the Nguyen Dynasty?
No, Nguyen was from Thailand.
History is fun within your interests, but studying the history of a country you have no interest in will not be fun.
For me, this includes Southeast Asia and South America.
“So my goal is to take classes properly and get a decent grade.”
“Isn’t that what all college students are like?”
“No, there are so many people who work hard and want to graduate with A+ at the top of their class.”
“Well, if you want to get a job, you have to work hard to get good grades.”
Even though our university is like this, it will not be very difficult to find a job because it is an in-Seoul university.
Of course, I don’t know how the case of social welfare at a liberal arts high school will work in reality, but even so, it is a department that produces a certificate under the name of the Minister of Health and Welfare.
Wouldn’t it be very difficult to get a job?
“But Minho. Are you going to get a job?”
“Why are you suddenly looking for a job? Shouldn’t I do it? There’s also a QTube channel.”
“I’m worried. Should I get a job…”
Running a QTube channel can also be considered a job.
But, if you ask me if I’m satisfied with that, I can’t help but tilt my head.
For me, QTube was like a hobby, and I didn’t think of it as a full-time job.
“I guess you don’t have to.”
“Isn’t it strange if I still don’t earn anything?”
“You can be a full-time housewife.”
Full-time housewife.
A person who does household chores at home and takes care of children.
If Ara and I have a child someday, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to be a full-time housewife.
But since we are still young, shouldn’t we first think about the workplace, which is a closer reality?
“Hmm…I’m a full-time housewife…”
“What’s hesitating about a man whose wife makes good money and who can make money while being a full-time housewife?”
“If I were you, I would have dropped out of school.”
What kind of school does a guy who earns in hundreds of millions go to… I smiled bitterly as I looked at Minho muttering.
It’s just funny that there’s nothing to refute because it’s not particularly wrong.
“But I still have to graduate.”
“What are you going to do after getting the certificate?”
“I want to get to level 1 and eventually set up a welfare center.”
In particular, I would like to build a welfare facility near an orphanage.
“Does this mean I received a good home education?”
“Mom raised him really well.”
“Hmm… Anyway…”
I turned my head away because I was embarrassed.
Is it because my mom praised me? I’m embarrassed for no reason.
