Likewise, this is the story of most of the Ewha students who live in the current society. The time period which they live in makes them constantly think, work, and to be occupied. Many times, for students, the work load from school overwhelms them with endless things to do such as exam preparation, team projects, and individual assignments. On top of these, there are relationships to maintain and duties to fulfill not including the academics. When too much is demanded, students will feel burdened and at one point, the "everyday" routine and life may place people in situations where they would want to run away from everything. But fleeing would not alleviate the burden of the situation so students forcefully choose to keep going. However, in the midst of everything, it is important for everyone to take a moment to step back and examine themselves.
Although this society makes many people overly consumed with “everyday” life tasks and routines, it is important that people are not pushed around by the competition, of an advancing and globalizing society. People should not let the patterns of the society overrun them. Ewha students should act wisely by working when necessary but also provide themselves some time to breathe and relax apart from the work and the growing competition of the current society.
