One yearrrrrr

More than a year has passed yet I still clearly remember how I finished our STR paper without even backreading it after it was done; six revisions took place before Sir Alcarez finally accepted our paper. I'm not saying this because I miss high school, but because I actually realized that that momentous event in my high school life actually happened more than a year ago already. A few months after that, I entered UP Diliman as a Chemistry freshman. Not that I'm regretting it, but I'm still not liking it.

Tomorrow, I have to face the sad reality that I'm not a freshman anymore, and the fact that I have to listen to Chem profs for at least three hours every weekday, except Mondays. Mondays are allotted for CWTS DMST, also known to me as what-the-hell-did-I-just-put-myself-into subject.

Looking back, studying in UP Diliman for a whole academic year, including summer, made me realize these:

1. I've appreciated long walks more. In UPD, who wouldn't. Except if there exists super rich kids who are ferried from building to building by their own drivers.

2. I got lazier, more prone to burnout, and my procrastination skills improved like never before. Four high school years of being forced to learn difficult things you don't even want to know is already exhausting, and again being subjected to another four years of almost the same thing, just multiply the degree of difficulty by a thousand, is borderline forced child labor already.

3. Pisay advantage their fez. Probably there will be if you're one of the amazingly smart guys but no, I'm not one of them and that advantage doesn't exists for me. However, I'd like to think that I'm not just "utilizing" it, but whenever I try to study makes me realize otherwise.

4. Things are harsher in college. I know, this is common knowledge, but things are really harder. Enlisting pa lang, jusko.  I forced myself to wake up really early just to get to UP really early just to be one of the first people to line up to get a subject then learning that there's no way for you to get that subject forces you  to run back and forth from building to building then afterwards waiting for more than five hours to get a replacement for that subject is sad.

5. I became more socially retarded in college. Hope things will change when I join an org, because I always get a lot of  "Meron kang sariling mundo." Good thing I have old friends and blockmates.

And because I don't know how to end this I'm gonna leave a picture of a cat here, because I really want to own one.
