A Snippet of My College Life

Hey there! It has been a long time since my last update. I admit, this time is a bit strenuous for me, but I care to show you how my college life is.

My last update is long overdue, to be honest. In fact, after doing this blog site for my project back when I was in 12th grade, I thought that I would never get in touch with this... LIKE EVER! But look at what am I doing now, isn't it crazy? (kRaZyy as Facebook people would say LMAO.)

It is over a month since I started my freshman year. Adjustments are made thoroughly since the system is pretty new. Honestly speaking, my current program (I am enrolled under Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology, by the way.) is not my priority. And now, here comes the long story.

Back when I was in my last few months as a senior high school student, I only applied for two universities—the University of the Philippines - Diliman and Bulacan State University. With high hopes, I never thought of applying to any other schools since I am that confident enough with what I have. Then results came for UPD, and guess what? I DIDN'T PASS! The university had their rankings of grades for their assessment of future Iskos, and unfortunately, I didn't meet them. Now here comes the fun part. After knowing the results for UP, it did not bother me... AT ALL! Maybe I just accepted the fate, but the fact that I am that unbothered upon knowing my failure to enter the prestigious university makes me realize that not all things could satisfy me and my dreams.

However, it was the opposite with BulSU. I was devastated knowing that my last resort was also a failure. I don't know how it happened but during that time, I am definitely at my worst. All of my emotions mixed inside me—confusion, frustration, nervousness, worry—as I struggled to find another school to enroll with for this semester. But as people said, light comes at the end of the tunnel.

My friends took long hours to convince me to enroll back at my former school, Baliuag University, knowing that I am eligible to get the university's scholarship for college students. But I practically left the school for two academic years since I want to explore a new environment and experience new memories to bring in as my mementos. Another is that my priority courses BS Chemistry and BS Biology are both nowhere to be found in the university. As a result, I chose the one where I can have both programs—BS Medical Technology. As I mentioned before in my previous tweets, (Those are private, though.) I am still contemplating that choice. I also mentioned other programs I dreamt to enroll as well, like BA Communication Arts and BS Social Work. But, as I also said, the program surely grows within me. I started to immerse more with the program by reading articles and doing research so that the program would have my fullest attention more.

Aforementioned, it is over a month since I started going to college. Honestly, I never thought that this would be this challenging, especially since my program is a pre-medical course. But I got to learn different aspects of the program, and the things I am not familiar with in terms of Medical Technology. Now, I am excited to go on a new adventure as I face and uncover the clouds covering my program.

This blog entry is totally short and simple, unlike my previous ones. This is just a short story of how I got into my program and what I am feeling about it. Come to think of it, I didn't make it to the cut for other schools I've had applied to, but now, I am about to unlock a new adventure as I discover the wonders of Medical Technology. Gonna get that RMT soon! <3

I have taken this photo last Thursday before entering my Zoom meeting for Purposive Communication. We're getting into there, sweetie. Hope you have no regrets at all. :)

That's it for now. I don't know when will I be able to update but rest assured that I will try my best to create entries from time to time. Bye for now and I will see you soon again! 💙
