It seems only yesterday when I first step into the hallowed halls of St. Scholastica's College-Manila. Back then, I was a nervous senior, awaiting what will happen to me in the realms of college life. Fortunately, I got in and from that day on, my life as a Canossian ended and my life as a Scholastican began and now, five months passed and the first semester has wrapped itself up and I can say that it had been a wonderful journey.

Before, I thought college will mean more freedom, a more flexible schedule and a lot of free time but that wasn't the case for a Kulasa like me. My one hour lunch break is not enough to squeeze in eating, studying and doing library works. It was very stressful and apparently, I have no time to even go out of the St. Scho campus. It was DREADFUL.


As a result, my social life suffered. I was stuck between two choices: freedom or studies. To those who knew me personally, they will say that I will choose studies. They're right. I chose studies. Studies had been and will always be my number one priority. I was brought up that way and if you ask me if I regret my choice, honestly, I don't know.

I always want to have new friends. I want to meet different kinds of people and explore out of my bubble but if I choose this path, my studies will suffer. Uwian kasi ako that's why my time is so limited. After class, I hurriedly go out in order to save time and I can finish all of my assignments especially in accounting. Do I want to dorm? At this period in my life, I can't. I do not know how I will live alone and survive without going crazy. Maybe in the future...

In the end, everything paid off. I passed all of my subjects which is such a relief to me because Accounting is such a difficult subject and it requires a lot of effort and hard work. All of it are all worth it. I know this is only the end of the first semester but I learned a lot of things.

I definitely became a master of prioritizing and being organized. I learned to be focused and be headstrong but most of all, I learned that if I stay true to myself, everything else will follow. I am not the kind

of girl you will see partying all night long. I do not drink and I do not smoke and I have no intention of getting into it even if I am eighteen. I am a home person and would love to just curl up in the corner and read.

If I come off as a goody two-shoes to you, then I can't change that the same thing that I can't change myself. Studies is number priority right now and I think it is paying off. 1 SEMESTER DOWN, 9 TO GO!!!
