Like what the others said, college prepares you for the real
world, which also sucks. Well that’s a fact. Though it’s very hard to accept
that you no longer can do all the things you want. Your time is also limited
due to your hectic schedule. And the fact that you’re not a high school student
anymore to goof around with your studies. Nevertheless, you’ll enjoy the company
of every new people you’ll meet. Especially your block mates or classmates, in
the same course you choose. You’ll realize that even people has the same desire
in choosing a course, personalities aren’t always the same. I also learned in
my first year of being a Multimedia Arts student, you have to explore more and
don’t stop learning new things. Accept every failure. Always think experience
is more important than knowledge. Your experience can add up to your creative
juices. Always focus your mind to the things you have to do first. Remember
always, study and learning is your number one priority. (Of course in our age)
In my first semester in college and first five months in my
course, I’ll honestly tell that I’m not in the mood of studying. I didn’t take
it seriously. I’m like pa banjing banjing
lang, more like procrastinating. Well maybe I got lonely because I’m new in
here (which in Calamba) at that time. And I did not reach the expectation I
expect. I’ve been too emotional at that time. I think there’s so much confusion
in my mind that I didn’t get to focused to my studies. And as a punishment to my laziness in
attending class in my other subject, I failed. I’m not proud of it. It’s really
embarrassing, honestly. Still and all I don’t regret it. Because this serves as
a lesson for me and something will motivate me to work hard or do my very best.
For my second semester, it’s quite fine. I start to focus in
my studies, and get along with my other classmates. I think I’m more active this
semester than the last. My failure did really hit me. I’ve been more productive
and also got to participate in our Art Exhibit. I really push myself this time.
Because in the end of the day, what I’m doing is still for myself and future. I
made my Dad proud when he saw my grades last semester. It made me happy. At
first he really didn’t believe, because I got the grade of 5 in my Physical
Science in mid-term. Then he got surprised when I passed it. (Eh kasi Math) It
made me happier too. Even my grades aren’t that high like the others, I still
did my best and I know I deserved it. These things are just a realization for
us students that when you step in college, you step in the real world. Yes, it’s
very hard at first but you’ll get used to it. Especially in our course that you
make puyat like 24 hours awake just to finished the things that you should did
in the first place. And cherish the time that you’re still young. Be thankful also
to your parents for all the hard work for us, especially to God that he always
gave us second chances. Just don’t abuse it. Like what Drake said, You Only
Live Once.
Yay! Finally, summer vibes! Honestly, my summer last April to
May 2012 is more like NGA-NGA and KATUIN (kain,tulog,internet) which
really sucks. NGA-NGA and KATUIN are my daily routine last summer.
I really got sick of it because NO MONEY, NO GALA, NO FUN. Bored to death. Enviousness attacks me, whenever I see
pictures of others and having fun out of town with their friends and family. However,
I did also enjoy my summer vacation because my high school friends planned to
have a get together again. An overnight swimming and road trip to Tagaytay. I’m happy I spent it with them. I really
missed them so much. Actually, we’re together again twice last summer. Our
friend planned to celebrate his birthday with us, which was last June 02, and
we’ve all decided to stay in their house due to the heavy rain and also it’s
late. Gladly, his parents are very kind and they let us stay until morning when
it’s safe to go home. I think I really enjoyed it, because after a year of a
busy and serious life, we got a chance to have fun again and get along with
each other like in our high school days. :)
After that, we go to Subic because my Dad had appointment
there. I came also because I don’t want to make NGA NGA again in the house. Even I’m just sabit there, I decided to go. It’s worth the effort even it’s very
tiring because of the long drive before you get there. And all I did there is
eat and eat and eat again. Life is good!
Oh, and I forgot.. my
Birthday which was last 25TH of May. It’s sort of boring, seriously.
I wanted to celebrate with my friends but we’re still tired up that day. And I
got a new puppy, named (B.T. – Batugang
Tuta) Betty. I gift from my Dad. I named her Betty, because she doesn’t
bark. It will only bark if she has enemy like frog, insects, etc. That is
smaller than her. And she’s very naughty. Actually, this dog is my stress
reliever. ^^
And after a year of a Multimedia Arts student, like what I
said in my first paragraph, experience and failure are always your strength to
your next challenge in life. Do not be afraid to voice out in what you know that is right. Also take the chance to show off your talent.
Shyness can destroy your dreams. Even you failed at least you try and give your
best shot. For what I expect this school year, same old expectation in college
life, it’s not going to be easy. College life is like a rough road, but don't stop in walking onto it because you'll never know in the finished line what price it will be. But as I
expect for myself, I’ll be more productive and I’ll do my best to keep my
shyness away. I will not let my shyness destroy my dreams. I also expect to
myself, that from now on I will avoid procrastination. I know this 1st
semester will be so hard for me, because I overload my units. If I need to be
awake for like 24 hours just to finish my works, I will.
