I hope no one will mind if my font color's all in the purple field. It's been three looooong and TIRING(is it okay to emphasize that?) weeks since I attended school and gosh!!, I was to really surprised!! I can still remember the days of April and May: I, Jen Aquino was actually excited of going to school and meeting tons of different people and finally, being FREE!!!
But I realized and learned that being in college is not always life's greatest joy. It's a matter of a combination of both happy memories and "not- so-pleasant-experiences". But still, college is surely one stage of everyone's life no one should dare miss...
TOP TEN Things All UP Freshies Must Know:
1. In college, you must be independent( do chores on your own, cook your food, and learn how to take jeepney rides!) and be optimistic.
2. In college, you need to be extra hardworking( think about the homeworks, assigned readings and exams!!).
3. In college, it's very hard to attach yourself to new friends for next sem, you're not sure if you'll see them again.
4. In college, you must know how to fight homesickness( especially those who are far from home).
5. In college, you'll encounter all kinds of temptations so know your limitations.
6. In college, you have to know how to get along with different people.
7. In college(especially in UP), you are expected to be the best. All times. (P.s: I don't like this part.)
8. In college, you'll have opportunities to learn soooo many lessons of life.
9. In college(especially in UP), be sure to own a couple of pairs of flip-flops.
10. In college,"matira matibay". It's up to you if you want to win or give up this fight.

I'll admit it. I actually did have a lot of hard time putting up this blog. Why? For honestly, I'm not used into this kind of things. Yeah, I have a diary which I hide from everyone else and hold for dear life but creating one online? It's kinda weird for me...
So here I was, sort of doubtful on what to write and what to share but why not give it a try right? Who knows I'll be able to share some sensible experiences at the same time, pour out my feelings..
Goodluck to me!!!
