Finally, I surpassed the first semester of being a 1st year college student. I didn’t thought that I would came this far. Being a PLMayer is literally no joke. I am not degrading other schools but the system that the PLM had set made everyone cry on their knees. Before I enter PLM, I am aware with the system, professors and environment already because I studied there for two years when they held senior highschool levels to replace the vacant slots due to adjustments made in school curriculum. As I strive each day, I realized a few things that our professors had said way back. In reference to what they said, college life is not easy as it seems. It is a matter of blood, sweat and tears. It is a survival between your strengths and weaknesses. If you are wimpy and you let your demons dominate you, you won’t be able to survive in PLM but if you set your mindset into mind over matter, you will reach your desired destination. At first, I do not want to believe them because I thought it was just a threat to make us study harder but as I invaded college and started to work on things, meet new peers and manage some agendas, I realized that they were right. I should have listened to them. They were right all along because I almost lost myself battling to my demons just to finish this semester. I am no longer the person that I used to be. I get tired easily that made me be sickly. I get stressed more often. My depression and anxieties became severe but I made a promise to myself that I will try my best to get myself back to its shape, lifestyle and mindset. I hope I could..
I am the happiest among all of us because my friends and I are dean listers. I did not thought that I would end the semester earning this recognition together with my friends. I am also glad that almost all of my classmates are dean's listers as well. I am beyond happy for all of them. God indeed blessed us all. Thank you, Papa God. We owe it all to you.
I want to thank my friends who always motivates me every time I feel lethargic. To Carla Laforga, one of my prominent friends that I have, you do not know how lucky I am to have you as my friend. I want to thank you for not leaving my side. Borahae, guys!!
This calls for a celebration! Maybe I deserve a reward after all the hardwork and dedication I invested this semester. I know I didn’t give my 100% this semester but I am happy that I survived. Congratulations to my squad as well!
