College life!!!

It has now been a month since the start of the school year, particularly the start of my college life. In fact, next week will be the schedule of our prelim. Time passes by so quickly, seems like only yesterday was just the first day of class. Yet, a lot has already happened in just a month. It even makes me reminisce of some past events.

Before entering up college, specifically when I was still on my senior years, I've watched how the mood and scenery slowly changed. Students whom I've thought to be Happy-go-Lucky began looking ahead. Students who crammed began to maximized their study habits. Moreover, I could see my fellow seniors studying everywhere even if it was just the 2nd week of the school year. So I thought, "Has the world turned upside down or the people here has just gone Crazy?" Their topic always is about College; What school to go? Where to go? What course to take? blablabla... and so on and so forth... That time I didn't mind about those things, even taking up entrance examinations, although I took some examinations on few Colleges. But even if I took entrance examinations I didn't bothered to study or scan my notes like everyone does, I just took the tests. Meanwhile, I've been hearing gossips about College life; How College life is, How college students missed High school, that you can't have the same classmates in every subjects, that you'll be on your own, and so on and so forth... Upon hearing those things and graduation is fast approaching, I wished the time to stop so I could enjoy High school even more.

During the summer break, my fellow seniors had already decided on which College University they should enter. I, on the other hand, haven't thought anything about it. I just thought my parents would let me study anywhere I'd want to, but when I brought up that thing, they wouldn't let me and their reason was this "Thats because YOU'RE SO DEPENDENT. PROVE 1st THAT YOU CAN STAND FOR YOURSELF." All I could think that time was, How can I prove it if you wouldn't let me try being alone? anywayz, thats another story.



During the 1st day of class, particularly June 5,2008, as I was passing by the front gate I saw a lot of familiar faces, people around are busy engaging into conversations, I can't even find my way because of the people around. Suddenly I heard someone calling my name, I tried checking who it was, then I found my classmates calling my attention. Seems like all of them are present and I was only the one the're waiting for. I felt so glad and secure knowing that they have waited for me. I love having that feeling around especially during the 1st day of class. My 1st day of class was a blast because of them, unlike the time when I entered high school. Since i came from a different school I hardly know anyone, but not this time. My classmates and friends in high school were there and so are my classmates and friends in elementary. This time, as I passed along the hallway of XU I always met friends, classmates, and even acquaintances.

During my 1st week, I find college life easy. Since there are a lot free time, there are also a lot of time alloted for bonding with friends, studying, and making assignments. Teachers sometimes won't show up, but the most exciting part is that you can be late and be absent without sanctions. what more can I say, but college really ROCKS!

Later, these past few days our schedule began to be hectic, Practices here and there, the prelim, etc... Little by little I got separated from my friends, our schedules mismatched, good thing I've got my blockmates around. Then I realized that college life is also tough. You can't always be with someone no matter how desperate you are because you have life and schedule on your own and so are they. I learned how to be time conscious. Most of all, this is my final stage, therefore I should do well.
