once again, i'm a freshmen...

new places, new building, new house, new friends.. that's what i encounter as i enter UST.. new faces since my our barkada in high school went to different universities.. even if we promised to each other that we'll remain as friends and of course, our communication, we still ban't help meeting new people..

as of now, i'm still adjusting to the environment.. even if i already studied here in manila for four years, the college environment is what i am adjusting in.. it's good to know, and at the same time a little bit pressured on my side, that our professors/instructors expect a lot from us since we belong in section 1A1,, first section as they refer to.. it's very flattering because at last, after four years in high school, being an average because all of your batchmates are geniuses like you in their previous school, i feel proud.. not that i wasn't proud at all entering a prestigious high school but the environment, most of them are competition.. at least now in college, i have the motivation to study hard and aim higher than before..

staying in a dorm isn't hard because your away from your family.. it's hard because when you have emergencies like your sick or you have to pay something in school, you won't be able to get help right away.. in my case, it's a bit easier coz my mom works here in manila.. but right now, unfortunately, my mom is away for a business trip and i'm stuck in the dorm with cough and colds.. that's why i have to buy my own medicine using my own money for the meantime until she gets back.. that's what difficult in living in a dormitory..

as a whole, i'm excited about college life.. good, air-conditioned rooms, new set of friends and professors, dormitory, these are some of the things i'm looking forward to in college.. i hope i'll have fun while studying.. study hard, aim higher!

"i'll shine like a pearl, glisten like a water.. in the midst of the dark forest, i'll give light to myself and the others."
