Lost things

You know when you’re holding a pen while doing something, then the next minute, you go do another thing and a second later you just can’t find your pen? You try looking for it everywhere, right? But still you just can’t find it. Then when you finally forgot its missing it magically reapears - under your pillow, cabinet corners, on top of your freaking table. Lost things got me thinking, maybe we don’t really lose someone. That one way or another people find their way back to people - as memories, as lessons or when you're lucky enough, as chances. And maybe, just maybe, I never really lost you.

I’m sorry if I judge and talk too harshly. I’m not generalizing it. It’s just there’s this particular person that is constantly getting in my nerve these days. School has been unbelievably unbearable because of you. If only you are professional enough to take it. But no, you’d take it out on my “attitude” right?

Issues

If someone read my issues in this blog don’t be a tattle-mouth. I believe tumblr people has this secret code that: what’s written on tumblr stays on tumblr

I was listening to this playlist when I realized what my ultimate goal is and it’s this: to be a kick-ass doctor (surgeon, if ever) with lots of rustic no-judgement zone coffee shops. I mean, how cool is that right?

Oh, what does not kill you makes you stronger. Right?

After weeks of anxiety and panic attacks, finally, the exam is over. And I did it! I passed! I can’t believe it too, but I did. But that’s just a foreplay, man. The real deal starts this incoming semester. And I am very scared but also very excited. So, cheers to caffeinated nights and palpitations! A lot of palpitations. I’ll try to NOT die, swear.

4 THINGS I LERNED THIS SEM AND THINGS THAT I SHOULD REALLY KEEP IN MIND FOR THE UPCOMING ONES:

1. Time is precious -  I thought back then that college would be a requirement-less era but boy was I wrong. Well damn you lucky bastard if you're in college and you go 5 days straight without your professor (in any subject) assigns you anything. Requirements-wise, time is always an issue. So if you have a long break at school, do what you can do to lessen those requirements. It's better t be finished early than to be Ms. I-should've-done-before.

2. Having a study buddy is important - Reviewing alone is one thing but having a study buddy at school will help you prove that you really know something. With a study buddy, you will improve. My Uncle Mario (actually lolo) told me that if you teach someone you gain mastery. If you have a study buddy, and you didn't understand the lesson, he/she can tech you. You learned, plus he/she gains mastery. It's a win-win situation.

3. Procrastination is stressful and silly - To not procrastinate is hard but each day, do it less. Having to memorize a full six chapters thing night before your major exam is possible, yes. But not as good and not as less-stressful than mastering them little by lite each day as they are taught.

4. More for the learning and less for the grades - Grades are important. But keep in mind that they are numbers. Only numbers. If you studied the lesson and understood it well, you'll nail every quiz or exam related to it, and that'll give you great grades. And if you didn't study the lesson, and didn't understood it at all, but still nailed every quiz or exam cause of God knows how, you'll still get great grades. But do you think you learned as much as when you really did study for it? Of Couse not. In the long run, great grades will not make you stay in your job, what u learned in college will.

Accept that there are some things bigger than you think, tougher than it looks. Yes, it might give you the high at one point but in the end, they're not worth it.

In every argument, will I drop everything and leave? NO. Because people like you is very hard to find
