High school would be the best highlights of my life, I proclaim that. There were lots of amazing memories during high school but none of those that I regret, even the embarrassing and disappointing ones. It's part of growing up, being stupid. Why didn't I regret any of it? Because basically I learned from it. Stepping from high school to college is scary.
The real world is scary, Philippines is scary, and people are scary. So is college. We can't stick on our false fantasies forever, there will always be a time where in we have to deal with the curve balls of reality. Reality is a puzzle of responsibilities, problems, stress, complications, commitments, and others. But no matter what, the right time will come where in you have to step forward and learn how to deal with these things. And that is college. I learned new things and met new people. I have to be honest with you, it was hard for me to let go off the place where I call home for several years and now I have to deal with university. I used to not talk to any of my block mates, I was the one that runs home right away whenever I have vacant or I am dismissed, and I used to sit on the corner just to observe people. I'm a wall flower, no just kidding, I was a complete introvert. But don't worry, I have friends now. I also learned how to stand on my own feet and have freedom, and had loooooooooooooooots of unexpected responsibilities that taught me to be a better me. I learned how to interact although I know I'm pretty awkward. I learned how to schedule my time, although there would be a day where in "Imma prone to procrastination coz y'all have to know that I ain't gonna give shit bout fuckin' school". We all have those days.
But most of all, I know college will help me to grow into an unimaginable version of me, a person who is ready to take on the world and give a big punch to the hole of reality. I'm willing to learn more, and this is the step by step stage of being a much better person. Why not take it right? The chance of being a much better version of me. Hell yeah! Why not!
Dear you, who is about to step onto college,
Don't be scared, because even though high school is over. New life, a new better chapter is waiting for you. You have to reach it with all your heart. Don't worry as well, even if you didn't gave much effort during high school which makes you anxious about the overload works that you have to do in college (as experienced by truly yours), you will be better this time. Trust me, you will because your soon to be profs will push you to your limits and you as well will push yourself beyond your limits, that's the time that you will do better. You will be motivated, not always, but often because you will be repeating the words "I need to pass this exam/quiz/or whatever" or even better words "I must get high grades" to yourself. And after all, your greatest fear is retaking a subject. Basically it would waste your time and money. The money that your parents earned after all their sacrifices and efforts. Think about that. I know you will be better, I do believe because I just know. So, good luck!
Truly yours,
