My real name is Kristy. That’s as far as I am going to reveal. You might see me add Park onto it, but that’s my mom’s last name which I use for my Korean name Park Sanghee. To make it easier though, most of the time I go by Kris. Some people online might also call me Krystee. Do what ever you want, and I won’t hate you if you call me Christie. But Kristen, you won’t hear from me again.
I was born on February 5th, 1992. If you’re American, I’m 19. If you’re Asian, I’m 20. Whichever way you want to go. However, I’m often mistaken for a 15 or 16 year old because I’m 5’3 and about 93 pounds. I also am only at my learner’s permit stage, believe it or not, so I really can blend in as a high school student. Many times when I go out on weekdays I’ve been asked why I’m not in school.
I live 30 miles from one of the largest cities in the world. New York, New York! Please don’t say I live in Jersey, thank you. I was born in the city but now live in the suburbs. The trip takes an hour and $12, so no, I don’t spend my days walking down 5th Avenue or watching Broadways.
I wish I had a better relationship with my family. My mom tries to argue with me over almost everything, and my dad who I barely see hardly talks to me because it’s that awkward. Jason annoys me with his American-egoism vibes, and I don’t see Arron for years at a time nor do I talk to him much in between. If you can sit down every night for a family dinner, I envy you.
My best friends are my family too. Off the internet, I am not someone who is or is willing to be friends with everybody. I more expect people to turn against me for whatever reasons, but I’ll always care for the ones who are always there for me.
I’m of Dutch and Korean descent. My dad is American-born but a first-generation immigrant if my definition is right, and my mom immigrated to the US when she was about my age. Most people mistake me for pure Asian, not necessarily Korean, based on my looks. However, I am unable to speak either language because of my total lack of language proficiency genes. I don’t remember a single word of Spanish from high school. Okay, maybe just hola.
I am studying towards psychology and sociology. I had to make this decision over my dream of 3D animation. It’s hard to study in the art and design field when you have the pressure of your family on you: parents nagging, older brothers to compare to.
I am very picky about being clean and neat. I wouldn’t say I’m vain but I always make myself look presentable. So I don’t understand how someone can just skip a shower then go out in a t-shirt and sweatpants.
I am a K-pop fan. No, I’m not a fangirl who drools over the idols day and night. Of course there are times when I joke about drooling, but honestly I respect K-pop artists for their talent, hard work, determination, and passion. If they have a spark of talent, they would go through many years of training until they finally debut, and continue on the path of work that only determination and passion can keep them going. K-pop artists do not rest, not even when they are injured. It really saddens me when someone commits suicide when the pressure builds too high. Anyways, my current favorite music are B2ST, IU, and the TRAX.
I want to live in Korea someday. Some people might call me a wannabe, but I just don’t understand. I love Korean culture, but I’m not trying to be die-hard. I just am being myself. Even though I grew up in a Caucasian-dominant area, I feel more comfortable being with Asians. I feel like I can accept more of Asian culture than Western. It’s not really something I am forcing upon myself. I’m just this way. If only my mom can understand, then I’d be much happier.
I am hopeful. After dealing with depression, getting hit by a car, almost being held back in my senior year, and few other things teenagers can’t handle, I have learned become hopeful for my future. I know that I have to always do what is right rather than sulk over when something isn’t perfect. If life was perfect then it would be boring.
