Irregular student life in the city of Manila, but I still fucking made it.

It was in the year of 2012 when I felt that I was very excited to enter college life because maybe I was  thrilled to be an adult. I was  wrong to think that I can handle to be in college with the same old perspectives in life. I never thought that I would lose myself in the first two semesters in college, in addition, I also lose people, who could help me, or to be with me in all the challenges that we hope to conquer with flying colors.  I realized that I embrace the freedom too tight.

I was too easily attached to people, in the end, I gave my trust quickly to them. When I was a child, people used to tell me that "Mahirap ng makahanap ng kaibigan sa college" ( Its hard to find genuine friends in college) , which I personally believed too, because not everyone would like to be friends with you.  After I had  experienced losing them, and failing in academics, I became an irregular student, where I learn to  do things on my own. I learn to be independent in doing my own work.  I like to believe that there are instances that I went out of my comfort zone.


It is not easy to be an irregular student because some people would think that you're taking your studies for granted, but sometimes some of your mentors took everything personally.  I am not really glad to be an irregular student, but I'm happy that I can still study my own choice of course or field.

There are a lot of moments that I felt that there is no way to survived my irregular student journey in the field of Journalism, but look who just graduated last April 23.






I really have no idea how to present myself, so I ended up like these (weird, and a little bit presentable)



Here's a piece of "special paper", we would always treasure forever ( with a mandatory "balik-tanaw" caption)
