Honestly, I’ve got a lot to tell about my
Freshmen year in UST-FMS. After all the adjustments, stressors, and feelings I
was caught up with...it did finish with the so-called, “Happy Ending.”
Of course, I had a busy summer before entering
Med school. Before I succumbed into my most awaited (temporary) freedom, I did
go to Japan for poster and thesis presentation—happiest 2 weeks of my life
after graduation.
Life after graduation, was one of my humble
zenith. Got my first degree! I could actually label myself as a “scientist” or
“researcher,” got the chance to represent UST Psych abroad, passed both law
school and med schools, and most importantly kept my promise to my mom—actually
living it. Made my family proud the entire summer! left and right I could hear
my sister say, “yung youngest namin, med student na ‘yan.” I chose to be a
little less pressured; took a hiatus from the rest of the world.
So, I totally embraced the bum life after,
made myself an epitome of a professional pig, a bed potato, and an average
daydreamer. Then I got busy finding a new place to stay, getting the most
coveted “med uniform” done, picking which books to buy, and a lot of whatevers.
After all the occasional parties, reunions,
living the life experiences, YOLOs, and feels of poverty...Summer just drifted away.
My batchmates landed on their first jobs,
entered post-grad studies too...updating their FB statuses into “another
chapter of my life...”, “Good bye college, hello real world...”; uploading
their grad pictures with endless “thank you’s” and “this is for my mom and
dad’s.”
For me it was like: KEEP CALM and it’s ONLY FIRST DAY OF MED SCHOOL.
Basically, first days and first meetings
would be always significant. It’s the time of free judgment, bias, and fresh
start. But I didn’t have a fresh start. Well, in my case, literally. I felt all
robotic with my new uniform. I wasn’t used to the “pencil cut” skirt. mobility compromised.
I couldn't afford being caught up in a
“forever alone” moment in the first day of med school. Luckily, I went to
school with Francis and Pat (which was kind of awkward since they didn’t know
each other, and I’d be their common person). As I entered the room, I
automatically searched for Psych/Science people I could sit with.
Some upper class men provided us with the
orientation, games, and surveyed different courses in our class. I noticed
there was an ample of medtech people in our class. Actually, I got intimidated
by their number hahaha then I thought of being a psych grad would make me
interesting and...rare hahaha
Had an intense building tour and org fair
with my subsec. Of course, everyone was behaved and guarded. Then lunch came, I
had to ditch my new friends for my beloved psych people #sorrynotsorry
To sum up:
I have crazy friends back in Psych. Now,
I’m stuck with a new set of crazy people. Not really in alphabetical
order...just go figure.
Basically, these new people are like parts
of me distributed in different persons.
1. The know-it-all kind of person.
Extremely friendly and easy to get along with. This one’s a hard drinker with a
soft heart.
2. the nice guy. the responsible type who
cooks for everyone hahaha actually, I’m intimidated by his “kasipagan.” the
ultimate bridge to the success of my love life hahahahaha
3. the rich kid with a nice car. really.
nice. car. He taught me beerpong! the best mentor ever.
4. the party boy! invites everyone to the
darkside hahaha
5.
the potential BFF hehe my boss! maybe the one person in our subsec I
genuinely listen too. We’re totally different and alike, all in one breath. If
I’m going to be Meredith Grey, she’s my Cristina Yang! she’s my person.
6. the cr3w. ‘nuff said. I find this person
really cool and funny. We share quite a lot of preferences. I find it easy to
approach this person. I admire this person for her strong personality.
7. the dancing genius. it’s a giveaway
description already. she’s the leader material.
8. the sketchy one! wahahahahahaha I
thought I’d never be friends with this person because she’s really pretty and
sophisticated! apparently, she’s not so sketchy at all. You just have to give
her time. She shares a lot.
9. the ulirang anak awardee. sobrang sipag
and kind!!! huhuhu she’s so nice grabe and sporty!!! I really cling to this
person everytime I need some serious studying. 100% good influence.
10. the one who is there, but not there. not
the talking type and sometimes a...rock.
11. the kababayan. same province, same
school. hehehe ayos
12. the sexy chick. best tita on earth!!!
hehe with good and bad side =)) I love talking to this person. She’s witty and
I feel like I can share almost everything to this person without being afraid
of being judged.
13. the happy go lucky but malambing hehe
14. the brainy kid. really smart but always
humble! She has a nice singing voice too :>
15. the random person who taught me how to
care. you know who you are ;>
16. the person who really makes me laugh
big time =)) imbued with funny antics =)) benta forever
17. that person I thought who wasn’t part
of our subsec at first =)) nakakahiya talaga ako =)) such a shameful moment for
me huhuhu
18. the fire extinguisher. sneeze-a-tron
hahaha hardcore singer, a total performer
For the record, they could really hate me
for writing this. But I know for sure,
I can have them for keeps.
