00:21 Do you not like to talk?
00:23 Um...
00:23 I don't really know if excited is the right word.
00:29 You are here to learn and experience your cultural heritage.
00:33 Parents send their kids here because they think it's a cultural program,
00:36 but we're all here because we know what it really is.
00:38 Stop!
00:39 One big party.
00:41 This is Ever.
00:43 You should ask Ever out.
00:45 You're single, and she struggles with social skills
00:47 and making friends and stuff like that.

01:33 Bye.
01:34 Right now in life, it feels like I'm torn between two of everything.
01:39 When I'm with you, I'm more me than I've ever been.
01:42 I don't know what I want.
01:44 Here's the thing.
01:44 You worry so much about the life that you want.
01:47 You never take the time to appreciate the life that you have.
01:56 Here we are.
01:57 It's one of my favorite spots.
01:58 This is a love letter to a place that I never knew eight weeks ago.
