College 101 Review (1st Semester)
written on Tuesday, October 30, 2012 @ 11:16 PM ✈
If it wasn't for the unexpected 1 week suspension last August, we could have had at least 4-week of sembreak. But then, there's nothing I could do to stop the administration from adding an extra week to the semester. Well, at least we are still granted our break.
This is a warning to aspiring "collegiates" reading this. College is way too much from my expectations. I thought this would be a time for me to set foot in the real world on my own. (Which is true, btw) I expected college to be fun. (Lies included in here, since I didn't really, really, really expect college to be that kind of fun) And lastly, I expected college to be just mere application of what you've learned in high school. What turned out is the exact opposite. Except for the "setting-foot-in-the-real-world thingy". College isn't fun - unless you define fun as being independent and having tons of vacant time, then yes it is. Nor is it a "mere application of my high school lessons", boy why did I even think of that?? The truth is, things you call exceptionally hard in high school is much much harder in college.
Who could have imagined photosynthesis involves various processes when we've been taught that photosynthesis already is a process itself? Booohoo. There's truly more than what meets the eye. It's in college where I experienced hours as minutes, and minutes as seconds. In times of long quizzes and insanely lengthy assignments, my latest bedtime is 4am!! Could you even imagine that? Then I have to wake up by 6am if I have classes by 7 or 9am if my classes start 10. I surely wish everyday was a Friday since my Friday class starts at 11 - but still not enough though.
Things get tougher and tougher everyday especially when you don't dare to read the night before. If you want to excel, then you should sweep away all unnecessary things and focus, focus, focus. I, as an avid achiever and ah, let's just say 'remarkable' student when I was in high school, couldn't even easily pass my Math test when in fact Math in high school was as easy as 1-2-3 for me!! (Not bragging, guys. Come on.) I don't know if I forgot everything I have learned about x and y or the school is just mainly of high quality standards. (I think it's the school though. =P)
But bad things aside, college is also a chance for an individual to be independent. It doesn't really not mean you have to work on your own and earn on your own to make a living. College is a way for a teen to make his decisions without the aid of his parents. And of course, college is the last step for us to enter the 'real deal' of life.

It's all about who we are..for real

Hey!I'm Roseanne Erika A. Loquellano. My friends call me Erika, but when I reached college, some of my new-found friends call me Rosiee or Chichi. And it's weird hearing that.
I've been living in this crazy for 17 years now. My journey has always been and will always be a bumpy one. I've been through the loudest laughter and the saddest tears but still here I am today, standing still, proud and happy to who I really am.
I have an amazing family. My dad, Ronnie, has been working overseas since I was three. God knows how much I miss him every single day that he's not around. He still calls my mom 'Love' and it's so thoughtful of him for doing that. My mom, Evelyn, is a public elementary teacher. She was my Filipino teacher when I was in the 6th grade too. She's a bit loud I tell you, but deep inside, she's really sweet, funny and of course loving. I have two ridiculous older brothers. Rodney, the eldest, dreams of becoming a pilot but still hasn't find enough financial support for his training, which leads him to apply for a job in a ship company. Michael, my older brother, is on his last year in college already. So we'll be expecting a fully-payed nurse maybe 2 years from now after his board exams and additional experiences. I, being the youngest of the siblings, am on my first year in Biology, because I hoped to become a doctor some day.
Being a doctor isn't just my only dream by the way. I had hoped of becoming an actress ever since I was a child. The limelight has always been the source of my inspiration every time I declaim, which eventually make me look like I am natural. Well, my mother was an actress anyway. In her college years, she was an athlete, musician, declaimer and a dancer, no wonder how I got my ever awesome chromosomes. Ahihihi. I wanna explore the center stage, and I wanna know what it feels like to win an Oscar and have a sold-out concert. But yeah, I have to stick to college first. My mom says, no matter what age you'll reach dream, it's still fulfilling `cause you know you have accomplished something really important to you.
I always remind myself to stay inspired. Because it is only through inspiration that we are motivated to move and be different. This still ain't my moment to shine (bright like diamonds and make tons of money, hihi), but somehow someday when my moment comes, I will be a champion. :) Stay inspired!
