WARNING: Long overdue blog entry

Wow! It's been a year already and it seems like it was only yesterday. The exams, hell week, projects, sleepless nights, over demanding professors, case studies and many more were just the few things I want to escape when I was in college. Now, I want it all again in my life. And when I look back, I realize that I was lucky to have studied in UST, met my beloved CA1, learned many things inside and outside the classroom. I miss my classmates. I miss my professors. I miss UST. I miss the food they sell around UST. I miss college.

When I entered college, I felt like drowning. I was scared. There were so many people - strangers. I was used to knowing everyone by name, face or reputation. I grew up with the same people in SMCQC from kinder to 4th year high school. So I was really shocked on my first day in college, that cowered. I immediately went out the university's premises, took a jeep going to my friends house. Goodness... I'll never forget that day. I felt so alone. Slowly I adapted to the environment. But sometimes I wish I were in high school again. I felt that life in high school was so simple. It was only on the latter days of my college life that I realized that I was enjoying my college life. I experienced many things that I will never experience in my sheltered kinder, grade school and high school life. I got to meet different kinds of people from different walks of life. I made a lot of memories in college that I wouldn't trade for all the riches in the world.

I'm very thankful to my classmates. They were able to tolerate my craziness especially Amz and Pinks. I learned a lot from CA1. Here the the things I'll remember most about my classmates:
  1. Vea- Vea with the V. With ala peace sign pa to emphasize on the V. Very sweet and super nice. I'll never forget the day she confronted O because of their adver report. First time I saw her mad. Pero natawa kami kasi kakaenter lang ni O a classroom kinonfront na niya agad. Ahahaha!!
  2. Grace- Shobe of our class. The ever OC girl. Madaming dance step yan... Pati siomai ginawan ng dance step. Now we work at the same company. Shobe tatagal ba tayo?

  4. Czare- CA1's mommy. The ever so responsible president.
