The Mandatory Post-Graduation Post

I woke up at 7am this morning after having 4 hours of sleep. When the alarm went off, the first thing I said was "Today, I will graduate".

I did graduate today. After five years of college plus a year of not attending school, I have finally received my diploma. And it was a struggle. My college years was never focused on my academics. I could not even remember having a normal sembreak.

Wait. I never had a sembreak.


My classmates have known me as someone whose always busy with something. But I never really told them that I was mostly busy with theater-related endeavors. Lv was the one who told everyone the real reason why I would be absent. I'm not sure why I sort of kept this a secret. But I felt the need to separate my academic life from my other life. I would invite close friends when I have shows but I never did announce in a class that I'm currently doing <insert title of show here>.

Every time I would tell a professor I would be absent, my automatic reason would be "I have work". I won't say I have a show unless he/she would ask what my work is.

Pa-sekret sekret pa talaga.


Now that college is over, another crazy chapter of my life will begin. I am still confused with what I want to do and all. So far, life has been awesome. So awesome.

I was not a brilliant student when you look at my grades. I'm not a cum laude nor an honorable mention. I was not scholar or a consistent Dean's Lister. I never really studied hard. But I know that I learned a lot. I also know that my grades will never dictate the course of my life. I am definitely sure I will survive this crazy life.

Amen.


By the way, Cesar Montano is my batchmate. Hahahaha.
