Week 1: I survived the first half!—at least I think I do—another half to go!! :)

                        College, college, college. That is rather the creepiest or the most nerve-wracking word for me back when I was in High School. I was really terrified to step into College before, I fear the new environment, lessons to learn, professors to encounter and all the projects, theses and examinations to bear. Imagine, I was already in my fourth year of High School, and I haven't decided of anything to pursue in college yet. I was scared, afraid, rather unprepared to face it that time.But when I entered college, well, half of my expectations are right, but that's just HALF, not all! 
                        Half, because, yes I'm really experiencing stressful activities, projects, exams here in college but well, that's life! That's college! You couldn't say that you've survived college without encountering those challenges that shaped you. Colleges in different universities are all difficult to face, and we just have to bear with it. But, of course, college is not just facing difficult, nerve-wracking and head-over-heels challenges, FUN is also a part of it. And that's the other half that made my expectations fail. 
                        For me FUN is :
                            F -FANTASTIC FRIENDS 
                            U -UNEXPECTED & FREAKY TASKS
                            N -NEVER-ENDING LAUGHTER :))


                        Yes, "fantastic friends" is the first on my list, they helped me enjoy and endure college—though still enduring. Of course, we need to study hard, but we shouldn't push ourselves too hard on studying, we  should also unwind a little bit, NOT A LOT! And "friends" is a perfect tool to relax a bit. And in my case, that's not a problem, in fact, my college was welcomed by friends, FANTASTIC FRIENDS! 

Like them:

                        U, as in UNEXPECTED & FREAKY TASKS, including projects, quizzes, home works, etc. Why-oh-why is this included? Of course, fun is not just enjoyment, laughter, and "happy-go-lucky" attitudes, in college, we also find doing tasks fun, because as we share ideas with our fellow classmates, our knowledge about things widen and of course sometimes, sharing ideas comes with great humor, that's why, it's really enjoyable! This also includes the unexpected outings, at SM Calamba perhaps? Ha ha, though we find it—going there—boring already.  

                        N, for NEVER-ENDING LAUGHTER. Being a college student, not necessarily a Lycean, tasks are all nerve-wracking, and our only solution to better face them is to laugh it all out. Having MMA students as classmates, finding ways to laugh is not a problem, just being with them will make you laugh til you hate it. But of course, we place our laughter to its proper place. It's good to have fun and enjoy things, but as students, we should always limit things. Laughing is part of having fun, but at times that we need to be serious, we should consider it!

                        In my first half in college and in being a Lycean was not that easy, I can already say that I've been through thin and think this early, but I'm grateful for having these challenges, for it strengthens me, and little by little shapes me into a better person. All in all, first half of my college life in one word is SUCCESS! Because I'm still alive, ha ha, or rather catching up. And i know that as time pass things will get even harder for us, students, but I'm sure we can make it! Keep our hopes up!! 

WE CAN DO IT MMA!!:)
