random ollege stories

i graduated high school with soaring rainbow colors and i entered college in black and white hiding those colors. i did that because i don't want my classmates to expect something good, let's say "bright jud ni siya" or they will expect good grades and no failures. as i go along, i played college cards well, getting highest scores in exams, quizzes and wpa to prove that i am smart enough and deserve what i had.

way back in high school and elementary, i was once a good dancer and a multi-talented student (they say-haha), and because of these hearsays, i told myself to be active in college- to represent my school in quiz bowls, to compete with other dancers and to gain curricular points. i tried once (1st semester). i joined the school paper's screening. i failed. this was the first and last school audition i joined. no more, no less. that was the start of "oh-jo anne-college-is-not-for-you" thing then it encouraged me to study, to have more patience and to enjoy life the most. i did.
