College Life Sure Is Something

OOPS

Is it, really?

When I first thought of college, I thought it was going to be a drag. No, wait. It wasn't an "I thought", it was more like "This is really going to be a drag." Well, so far, I'd like to say otherwise. Generally speaking, college life is starting to become something that I NEVER imagined it to be. What I'm trying to say is, it's becoming something that's quite hard to understand. No, no. I'm not talking about the unpredictability of it. I'm talking about how I'm handling it, compared to how others are handling it. It's surprising to see that other people are finding college to be "chill" and "easy" while I'm here trying to keep things under control. It's hard to get a 4.0, and there are some profs that I'd really rather not take. Not only that, there are also some people that would really criticize you. People that would hate you for something you did, that would bash you even though you already apologized to them. But I don't hold it against them. If they don't accept my apology, fine. If they hate me, fine. This is my life, and my blog.

I would like to say that college has been bearable because of some people. If I may, I'd like to name a few of these people. Aldrich Gonzales being my trusted friend, and gym buddy from time to time. I wish him nothing but the best in his endeavors in the College of Business. Ian Dela Cruz, being my trusted friend and my plyo buddy. Additionally, him being my friend who's my "IAN, PRE MAY PROBLEMA AKO." kind of friend. Lorie Mae Sy, my best friend and lunch buddy. One of the few people I go "emo emo" mode to. Bianca Mari F. Pecson, the crush of my friend and also one of the few most reliable people I know. The type of friend that when you text "Hey, let's hang." She'll say yes. I just hope that she clears out her problems in life though. Robert Sarte and Brendel Lim, the two people I talk to everyday in chat. They're the two people I constantly talk to. We talk about random things ranging from "her" (her identity will be disclosed later), food, places, etc. and it's actually fun to talk to these people. Definitely one of my few reliable friends in college. DEFINITELY? I don't think the word's enough to describe them. They're REALLY someone to me. Derrick Zhou, Alfonso Daroy, Raymond Celestino, Tyrone Yap and Jay Doria. My "guys in the block." They're the people I could really make some noise with. I'd like to list everyone, but the list is just too many. (Although it's funny because I said "few" awhile ago, anyway. Moving on.)

Ooh, before I forget. Compared to High School sports, College is a bigger deal. If I may mention the UAAP. It's REALLY a big deal. I mean, it's not everyday that you get to see people bashing other universities because of their team losing, or something. It's funny and sad at the same time. Funny because the fights are often because of school pride. Sad because they take it to a more personal level. I just hope that people will be able to understand and separate "school pride" from "actually just hating people". Never forget that the UAAP is just a game; it was never meant to determine your level of intelligence or your greatness in the sport. Where you're from, who you are. Remember, just be proud of your university for doing what they could to show something.

With regards to my friends in high school, I do miss them. I miss my childhood best friend, seatmate and partner in stupidity "schupid boy" AJ Celebrado. I visit him and my two other best friends Charles Mon and Paul Carcasona from time to time. It's quite funny to see them, they're like a walking comedy show. I do hope that my other friends Santino, Eymard, Ken, Ayrton, Jarvin, and the rest of Mech are doing well in their endeavors. Especially Eymard, AJ, Lester and Charles. Taking up Accounting, taking up Engineering. I hope these guys will survive and bring pride to Don Bosco.

Before I forget, I mentioned "her" awhile ago. I cannot disclose her name, but I will describe who she is to me and what kind of person she is. She's cute, smart, friendly and shy. She's got this smile that really gets you thinking, "Why did an angel like you decide to stay here on earth?" She's the reason I wake up every morning. Why? Well, I keep sending her text messages like "good morning!" She made college life for me, bearable. She's really good too! She's taking up a hard course in the College of Science in De La Salle University, but I know she'll be able to pull this off. She's a great person, she really is. I don't think college will be the same without her, but I really like it because she's there. Well, not only because she's there. I mean, I really like her. The way she laughs, the way she talks. I even bought her a little something something for her birthday. I just hope she'll like it. I just hope that she'd always have that beautiful smile up her face, because I'd do anything to keep her smiling.

Anyway, to sum it all up, college life is fun and complicated. This is only the tip of the iceberg, I haven't even finished it yet. I've only finished the first term! Oh yeah, grades wise, college is good! The profs are nice, CRITHIN and NTROPSY to be exact. My CRITHIN prof is really cool. He teaches things that aren't in the book, and he really knows what he's saying. The words he uses, the arguments he presents. It's something that I really admire and respect. I'd definitely take him up for my future subjects if I could. Heck, I'd take his subjects up if I was a Philosophy major. He's a good prof in the classroom, and a cool "tropa" outside the classroom premises. Definitely not a dude to forget. With regards to my NTROPSY prof, I'm really thankful for having her as my prof. She's like a mother to me. During the campaign period, she's the one that kept telling me to keep going. She believed in what I could do, and she teaches well too! She teaches things that aren't in the book, and she teaches you morals that you'd really be needing in life. If it was possible to take her up again in a future subject, I would. But sadly, I'm not a Psychology major. She really touches lives, and any student under her would really appreciate her because she has genuine concern for her students. Really.

Anyway, I'd have to end this post here. Brendel and Rob have left messages, and I have to reply to them. Well, not entirely. They've been searching for this blog for an hour and a half (maybe) and they still have no luck. It's time to show them this blog.

Time to show them the life of a clandestine infinitesimal.
