Just because you didn’t do well on an exam, you shouldn’t be thinking about ending your precious life. Tests aren’t everything. Just stay healthy until tomorrow, and try enjoying something you haven’t done before. You worked hard. Good luck!! 2. [+1726, -53] Please please remember to poop in the morning 3. [+1555, -37] I wish you the best of luck 4. [+1268, -43] You’re all worthless so just go to college 5. [+1253, -31] Just because you get one question wrong doesn’t mean your life is over.

Hurry up and leave for college! 5. [+2856, -183] I am going to get a 100% on the English portion!! >.< Hwaiting! * SKY is an acronym of the top 3 universities in Korea: Seoul University, Korea University, and Yonsei.

[+687, -55] Who are holidays for exactly? -- Translator's Note: just for some context, these polls were conducted in November but I figured they were relevant to some of our users since it's finals season in the U.S. right now. I hope this at least makes you realize your problems are shared across the globe and that you're not alone! In Korea, college entrance exams are in November and are taken in junior year of high school. So what do you like to do to relieve stress? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amorfati 2,335 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) I can't imagine the immense amount of pressure they must be going through. Education in Korea is no joke...makes me feel bad for complaining when I used to be in high school because my life back then was nothing compared to the Korean education system [+1253, -31] Just because you get one question wrong doesn’t mean your life is over. Just stay confident. All is well. This. Edited December 7, 2014 by amorfati Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abra 40,910 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 The pooping comment is the reason you translated this, right? 3. Study some more 14.5% (4,022) 4. Just imagine yourself as a college student 13.2% (3,665) 6. Think about how hard your parents worked 10.1% (2,803) 8. Double-check your preparations 6.4% (1,780) I really don't think these will reduce stress.

ImJustASlyFox 8,349 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Is SKY really that hard to get into? Like if I'm American, what would the Korean requirements equate to in the American school system? it's basically like harvard, princeton, and other ivy league schools in merica. Very prestigious and well known in Korea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very prestigious and well known in Korea It's really different from America though. Like some people want to get into Ivy Leagues but others are fine with average universities. Koreans, though, all want to get into SKY, right? That's the vibe I get from them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a large number of Koreans do want to go to the top universities but not ALL of them, that's just a stereotype... some people are fine with average universities. There are even universities that accept students who didn't take the big final exam but those universities are mainly art universities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope my friends that live in Korea are happy with the universities they go to :D one of them goes to the uni that Yoona went to keke xD it really depends on the people.
