Girls

One of my roomates is teaching English at a woman's university here in K-town. Last night, we sat out on the balcony of our NEW apartment (!!!) and graded papers and chatted until midnight. Her students are all between 18-20 yrs old, studying to be doctors and pharmacists, but, in grading papers, we realized that all girls think alike. It doesn't matter what country you are from, what belief system you hold, girls just think alike. Their assignment was to write some 'I wish' statements. The most common ones were:
I wish I was thinner
I wish I looked like someone else
I wish that my hair was a different color
and finally....I wish that I was marriaged

I mean, I know that our cultures and ways of thinking are a lot different, but still when it comes down to it, we all kind of wish the same things.
