First, let me let you guys know that I have been waiting to listen this song. Shannon is a Korean-Bristish girl who was apart of the group 5dolls, but is now debuting as a solo singer. Which I am so glad about, this chic can sing. I looked at her live performance and was surprised that she can sing with such stability with her dance. Want to know the crazy thing? She's only sixteen!!!! Crazy, right? She has such talent!

Freedom is necessary when growing up
Coming from a bicultural family, things gets muddied..... a lot. I have a (now retired) Army dad with a Korean mom, who got a degree in psychology. My parents are very traditional, strict, and like to know that they are in control of things. They don't know the last part but I can tell. I'm in my third year of college and they still think that they can control parts of my life even though I live three hours away from them. They have become more dependent of me since my dad has gotten more surgeries. I understand this part but the things they do are a bit unbearable for me as a student.
My mom ask me to make lyric videos for me even though I have two younger brothers who live at home and are completely capable of doing it. They criticize if I socialize just the slightest. I know that they just want the best for me, however, if you're doting on every single picture that gets uploaded on Facebook for events that you are called to do. Then why hinder that?
I think that parents should try to wean off their child during high school. It's a good way because one, they have to start preparing for college, and two, it would give them the perfect opportunity to grow and become them. If you are trying to tell your child how to live their life while their in college, Then they have not way to become them. When I am in college, I feel like I'm growing and maturing, however, when I have to come back home, I feel like I have to stop my growing process and have to live like I did during high school just to please my parents.
I do want to discuss this problem with them soon. So good luck to me on that. I can't stand it anymore. I worked my butt of last semester, didn't get the best grade, but I know that I tried my best. However, now I come home and have to be the housewife. I hope that this can change in the future so that I can actually enjoy college and do what I should be doing, living.

Introduction
There are quite a few blogs that I have started but I could never continue them. I hope that I can keep this one going. I feel as though this would be the most personal one but something that I can say that genuinely comes from me. Anyways, let me start by introducing myself. My name is Susan Egbert. I am 20 years old. I am a Senior Pre-Pharmacy major at University of Louisiana at Monroe. I am applying for pharmacy school this year. I have a ton of hobbies (will be elaborated with more posts of course). I'm super excited to start this and hope you guys enjoy it!
