Peer Evaluation for 친구이름

I never imagined I would be given the opportunity to get to know nearly everything about one person: sleeping habits, food preference, style of clothing, favorite color, least-favorite color, whether she takes shower in the morning or at night, what happens to her when she is sleep-deprived for three days, the location of pimples on her face, so on and so forth. Someone that I have to be with every single minute excluding the few minutes that I spend alone on the toilet. It may sound horrific to some, yet I am quite grateful that I have such a close friend. I have spent the last three years with 친구이름, taking classes, having meals together and living in the same dormitory room. Nevertheless, I cannot say I know her perfectly; yet, as someone who has watched her go through her smiles and tears, I believe I am qualified to write at least a page about her.

When I look at 친구이름 now, I sometimes wonder, “how did I get so close to her?” but I remember my first encounter with her vividly. In the beginning of the second semester of the first year, I was struggling with making new friends because of my quiet disposition and because I had returned from Canada only a few days ago. It was 친구이름 who approached me first. I remember her as a girl who feels comfortable speaking in front of many, who knows how to start a pleasant conversation with even strangers and who loves to entertain those around her with jokes and funny faces. Although I used to be the exact opposite, with her influence now I no longer fear speaking to an audience. To provide an example of 친구이름’s cheerful personality and its influence, I can talk about a short Spiderman film that we made on a stormy night. The two of us were jumping over bunk beds and shooting invisible web at each other while a friend filmed us on camera. It was a great way to shoot away our stress during the exam week. 친구이름 is someone who always stays optimistic and full of energy, helping others to cheer up and move on...
