The end is near ... at least for us, the class 2006 of San Beda College Alabang.
Everyday, I'm having mixed feelings of both excitement and sadness.
I'm excited to work and take up masters. I know it will be easier now since my schedule would not be so hectic anymore. While studying for my finals, I'm also busy searching for jobs over the net. I already told Simon about this and I'm happy that he's really supportive about my decisions because I might work right away after our classes. Ha, it's funny how I originally planned to be a bum a few months ago! But considering our situation now, I don't think I can risk not working even for just a few months.
I also wish I could turn back those precious times I have wasted in college. Deep inside I know I could have done more. I wasted my time with some "old friends" instead of studying and giving my efforts and talents in different orgs. I only realized how important the value of time is when I was in my last few years in college. Argh! I really feel bad. Sometimes I just wish I just never met _a_k and _e_! Without them I could have spent my early college years on important things.
The end of our student days may be near alright, but at the same time this is just a beginning for us. Last night when I was about to go to bed, it was revealed to me that what happened in my last four years in college would help me work harder to achieve the things that I never had in college and perhaps to attain even more. The things that happened to me will serve as my inspiration as an officially working adult. The mistakes I did will serve as lessons for the rest of my life.
For those younger people who are reading this, well I just advice you to have a focus. Study first before dating! Don't sacrifice school because of infatuation or a relationship that will eventually end anyway. For the girls, just ignore the men who are wooing you and just hit on the books. Being single while studying is fun and it will keep you on track.
Don't get me wrong...my records are good. :) I was top 2 in our batch last semester and that was really cool. But I know that I could have done better if only I had learned earlier how to kiss dating goodbye...
