Shì, kěshì wǒ hái méi xiǎnghǎo xué shénme, gèng méi xiǎnghǎo qù nǎge guójiā.
Yes, but I haven't figured out what to study, much less which country to go to.
University life is about to end. Lately I keep being asked: "What do you want to do after graduation?" It's a genuinely hard question to answer. I asked several classmates and everyone's direction is different — some want to continue studying, some plan to study abroad, and some have decided to find work first. I believe that only by figuring out what you truly love can you make the most suitable choice. For me, figuring out "what I truly love" is the difficult problem.
