Today, you had, what is infamously known as, the jitters. It all started when you were casually scrolling through Twitter. You came upon this tweet by a friend, saying that he/she will not be enrolling in UP, and will proceed with her college duties elsewhere. As I had anticipated, it came as a shock to you, as she had previously said that the both of you would be schoolmates, and even better, course-mates. Yet, the tables have turned in the form of that tweet, and you both exchanged tweets.To cut the long story short, she was already determined to push through with her decision. So, that was one less person deducted from the list of Pisay people you would be studying with in UP.
Adding to that factor, was the seemingly severe and discouraging posts and feedback from other Pisay people that have graduated ahead of you, and who are now studying in different UP campuses. It's the end of the second semester for them, and they have been bombarding posts about their grades, and to be honest, we found them entirely discouraging as we read on.
Thus, you decided to talk about this with Mom. She wasn't very happy about you having second thoughts, because she thought it was a little too late for that, since you've already confirmed your slot. Yes, she had a point. But let's be honest with ourselves, we both wanted her to support us, and say, 'Whatever makes you happy, 'nak'. Instead of feeling relieved, you felt even worse.
The next move you made was to check for any batchmates online. You found a sensual batchmate, and you started chatting him up. At first, you felt as if this was going to go nowhere, and you were just going to share about the problem at hand. But it took you by surprise how he gave you just the right kind of advice, the advice you yearned for. And it made you even more determined, and it made the jitters go away. :) So thank you, batchmate, and really good friend!
Therefore, if you ever read this again, which I am sure you will, you're probably in UP right now, if all goes smoothly. Maybe you're busy accomplishing a req, an assignment, studying for an exam, or whatever. If you read this again, and you're doing exactly as I've written above, then kudos to you!
I know, and probably everyone knows, that UP is not a school that offers you ease. It's as they say, "magulang sa Pisay". So what you have gone through in Pisay, it will certainly be harder when you enter UP. Just hang in there, if you're finding difficulty, just remember that it will all pass. The journey may not be a walk in the park, and it can be the most rigorous path you've taken on yet, but it will definitely be one of the most fulfilling, if not the most fulfilling voyage you've ever undertaken so far in your life.
Remember also to reward yourself, even if it's just for a minute victory. Because small things make up big things. :)
Keep praying. God will ALWAYS be there for you.
Focuuus! Haha. Aim high!
Keep moving forward.
I hope you find strength and contentment when you come across this blog post I made especially for you at 9:01 PM of April 12.
