Since most of the time, I will be writing a lot of things as part of my newfound work, I’ve decided to revive this blogsite so that I can improve my writing skills!
It’s been a while since I really immersed myself into serious writing. As far as I can remember, I did a lot of writing duties when I was in high school than in college (with the exception of our thesis and some research papers) and I believe that the best way wherein I can fully express myself in this new life is through writing.
I may not be a good writer. But at least, I am doing my best to improve and hone my craft.

The Start of My New Life in Hell
Sorry for the term. What I mean here is law school.
I just learned that I passed at the San Beda College of Law entrance test and to be honest, I am not really excited at all. Instead of excitement, what I feel right now is being scared. I will be going to a dark and dismal place where survival of the fittest is the game. If college life is already a pressure cooker, consider law school as inferno. And the only person who can help me to survive is no other than myself.
It’s a crazy thought to enter law school. I never imagined myself entering it years ago. Before, I have made a decision that I’ll take a Master’s degree in International Studies or Political Science. But the opportunity to study abroad is making it so impossible in our situation right now so what I thought is that I should become a lawyer first and work hard before taking up Master’s degree in my dream school abroad. Being a lawyer is also my dream since high school. Whether or not I am making the right decision is debatable but at least I am trying to do something which is not really stupid…or so I thought.
Why did I choose San Beda anyway?
San Beda College of Law is one of the best law schools in the country. Aside from UP and Ateneo, San Beda is a monster in the field of law. Just last year, a Bedan topped the bar. No doubt that law students are being trained and pushed so hard to become good lawyers. Even before I passed my requirements for the entrance examination, I know that life there would be different from my previous years in high school or college. Intelligence is not enough to survive…and I am already having goosebumps on what my first day at law school would be like and the next days to come.
Maybe I’ll flunk. Maybe I’ll survive. But I made this decision. I have to be firm on this. This is what I really wanted anyway…to become a lawyer someday.
Another four years…or five. This life is really getting crazier.

An Inch Closer to my Political Science Degree
After four years of struggle in a state university with a not-so-easy undergraduate course and a not-so-friendly environment, I can finally say that I made it through…somehow. After all of the headaches and deadlines, not to mention the stress and pressure, I can now say that I have just finished another chapter in my life.
Is the journey the way I expected it to be?
Sad to say, it’s a big no. I learned my lesson the hard way.
One failure that I have right now is not to graduate with honors. If everything else would have gone smoothly, I could have graduated as magna cum laude in our batch. But then again, is it really a failure in my part? Or is just that awards and recognitions are not really the end all, be all of everything?
Four years ago, I was an honor student. I know the feeling of having so many awards and medals. I even snotched a prestigious leadership award. Well, I am not saying that I did not excel during my college life. I even got so many awards and handled positions in different organizations in our college. It’s just unfortunate that I became a victim of a system which needs to be fixed. Or maybe I was just so unlucky.
Speaking of luck, I really don’t believe in such. Things are predetermined. Either by a force we cannot fully explain or simply because of causality.
This failure forced me to take a silent revenge. No, not really revenge. I just promised to myself that I’ll push myself to excel more in law school. That someday, despite the challenging journey of being lawyer, I can be one. I think that would be a compensation to the stupidity that I had now.
