9th out of 10 semesters

It has been the most dreading, exhausting, consuming, stressful, difficult, emotional, breaking, ambivalent semester so far. I didnt know I had these tons of energy to be drained by this sem. On our first day, I was so hopeful and determined to change my habits. I promised I’ll be taking down notes on every subject fervently, make reviewers and be organized but I was only good at the beginning. Quizzes, homeworks, examinations, deadlines, THESIS piled up on my to-do-list and that’s when I knew I’m dead. Aside from these academic stuff, I also had my personal breakdowns. Having to endure almost everyday seeing someone hurting you, the expectations from people, and some haters, what more could this universe throw on me? I was so close to giving up but despite so many emotional breakdowns that came my way, I stood still, faking it til I made it. Yes, I made it and I couldnt have made it without my friends, family, and self. Im just really grateful I have my small circle of friends who’s always been there, cheering me up and pushing me to do my best. It was also a good thing that my mom came home to be with me which instantly motivated me. It was a blessing to end this sem with my blockmates and my person. Nonetheless, this semester had taught me so many lessons. Blessings on blessing on blessings came as well. Second semester, I will bounce back!
