The Feels Of Knowing That This Is Your Last Year in FEU-Alabang
FEU Alabang was my best mistake. I clearly remember the first time I stepped into the building and was greeted by the overly-ecstatic guard. I did not know what was about to happen to me, an introvert, months from now. I recall the first time I entered the room, introduced my name, and met everyone. Months passed by in a blur and the only thing I could think of was, "I can't wait for this school year to be over." Now, the time has come. The school year is definitely coming to an end. I'm filled with this strange feeling; the feeling of wanting to stop time and at the same time wishing it would go faster. Knowing that this is my last year in FEU-Alabang gave me sad, excited, and a heartwarming feeling.
Spending my last year in this institution gave me a sad feeling. The last couple of months in this school means that I only have a short period of time with my classmates and friends. After that, we will go on our separate paths and may not see each other again. The thought of it scares and saddens me because I’ve been attached with them now and there are a lot of memories with them that I treasure so much. Many people became of a part of my journey in this institution. I have developed a close and healthy relationship with people here and knowing that this may probably be the last year I’ll see and hang out with my classmates make my heart sink.
I am excited knowing that this will be my last year here because more doors of opportunities will open for me. Next year, I will be facing another milestone in my life as a college student. Just thinking of the challenges and opportunities that will come on my way leaves me on cloud nine. My last year here excites me because I feel like I’m getting closer to adulthood and the “reality of life.” It’s very exciting to know that I’ll be leaving this place because it’s the only way for me to be in a new environment and meet new faces. Knowing that this is my last year here is exciting, not negatively, because I believe that when one door closes, another opens.
Knowing that this is my last year in FEU-Alabang is heartwarming for many reasons. The first time I stepped into the building, it’s like I’ve been a part of history. This year will be the last year for me as a pioneer student of FEU-Alabang, and that thought is very heartwarming. This is where I experienced some of my first times that I haven’t experienced my whole academic life. It is very heartwarming to be a Tamaraw and upholding the core values of the school. I then realized that FEU-A helped me be aware of what’s happening in my environment. It sparked up the “Humanista” inside me: it helped me be sensitive and respect the diversity, as well as to battle for what is right.
Certain types of emotions such as thrill, sorrow and happiness washed over me as I grasp the idea of spending my last year in FEU-Alabang. Months from now, I’ll be throwing my graduation cap up high, and that symbolizes the end and a new beginning. I started off thinking that I made the biggest mistake of my senior high school life when I chose this school, but I ended up realizing that this “mistake” taught me to grow as a person, step out of my comfort zone and face the reality.
