Senior Year : There's No Fear
Friday, June 3, 20116:50 PM
Okay. So I only have, like, a few days until school breaks out. I know many others are totally killing themselves over the fact that their happy days are over and there will be no more lazing out in the following days. Oh, what horror. Well. I'm not being a hypocrite here by saying that I'm not at the least disturbed at the recess of our lack of freedom, but hey. This is just the way life works. We rest and then we get our butts working once again. It's a never ending cycle. Maybe, at least not until we become legal adults (with college degrees or have in any way earned our freedom) wherein there will really be no SUMMER (bummer) and your only shot on a holiday would be Christmas eve, New Year's eve, and probably the only week you'll get off, Holy Week. So relent kiddos, we're actually pretty lucky. ^_-
Oh my God. I can't believe I haven't written a single post this summer. And that's like a complete crime in my system. I mean, summer is the perfect time to fill you archives with never ending rants and raves, and yet I did not maximize my time at all. All I did was laze around, too much of a sloth to get around to actually doing anything these last 2 months. I did not even bother to change my ever falling apart blog layout which I've been making mental notes to myself to accomplish countless times. What is wrong with me? I didn't even have a single interest in answering the take home proficiency tests given to us just a few days ago, by our proctor in the review center I enrolled on. (with BFF)
I mean, what exactly is the reason I even applied there? Isn't it to STUDY, get my FOCUS on, and drill into myself how hard it actually is to PASS the freaking state university entrance test. And I didn't even take it seriously. Sooner or later, I'm gonna regret all of this and get my karma. Not that I expect it to come. It'd be my absolute pleasure and happiness to get the green light in my... second-dream university. (Because up til now, I still haven't decided on which university to study.) But that's not the point of this post. I'm here to make pledges to myself, whether or not I get to fulfill them later on. That's the point of having an online journal. You get to make promises you can't keep. Or at least, try to keep. But really, I'm hard on going to stay true to my word alright.
First things first. I'M A SENIOR. A freaking one. Like I want to be one. No, of course, OF COURSE I wanna be one because I want out in this hellhole of high school. (Not the school, just the general prospect of being in a social jungle where you're the prey almost all the time and you have no choice but to get used to being stepped on. Did you catch that?) Actually, last time I was in school, all that ever went out in my mouth was "OH MY GOD! I wanna go to COLLEGE!" and such stuff. Honestly, I can't wait. You know, from surfing Tumblr world, blog world, university websites and stalking college students I know from... well, college, I kinda fell in love with the thought of being one. The freedom, the being a mature adult part, the friends, the professors, the blocking (supposed to be the college term for sections), the new diverse uniform, the liberty to transform yourself into a mannequin (i.e nail polish, hair color, contact lenses, etc), ALL OF IT! I just live and breath it.
But too bad, I can't jump a year. I still have to endure just one more FUCKING year in order to become a college student. God, I can't wait. Oh yeah, and I was kinda hoping my mom would do me the honor of giving me my own room because... no matter how I love sleeping with my family in one room, I could really use the privacy. And decorating my room... oh... the beauty. (I've Tumblr to thank for my ideas :) Also, let's not forget the ULTIMATE reason why I want to get to college. HIM. Let me be Helga (from Hey Arnold!) for a minute; oh Kuya [censored], how much I love you and how much I care. How I wish I can tell you and be your friend and to finally be able to relate to what you've been through these last four years... blah blah blah [full version in here]. So you get the gist. As for being a senior... I'm not too happy about that, but I am happy that in just 10 months, I'm finally graduating. And we're practically older than most of the high schoolers in school (duh, that's why we're seniors) and we can boss them around. HAHAHA. Ehm.
But of course, there has GOT TO BE changes if I'm going to surrender my heart and soul to the last year of my very traumatic and disastrous high school life. There's got to be boundaries because I WON'T let this year destroy the last ounce of my being. The last three years are enough payment. No more. So here:

Senior Year Agenda
[Should be strictly followed]
Do's
Don'ts
So that's it. That pretty much sums everything up. All I've got to do is follow those self induced way of living and I'm guaranteed to go past senior year without a scratch. At least I'm not expecting myself to just burst out and sing "This is a Night to Remember" and go all out Sharpay. Haha. Can't believe I'm the senior now. Oh well. And do remind me to show "them" on prom. You'll see how much of a changed person I am.
Oh and P.S, please please please do pray for me in my upcoming entrance exam: UPCAT, USTET, ACET, and practically some universities I'm too lazy to mention but plan on invading. I'm a person who deeply values education and I really hope and getting on college. So wish me luck. Help me with your prayers, would you. Now, you're a star. I love you guys :">
