GIRL'S P.O.V.
Today's the first day in college. I've realized that my mind seems to be talking to itself again. Fighting over the thought that I may be excited or not. But inside my body, a Herculean feeling of nervousness penetrated. I've observed a lot of things, not just with others but with myself too. Mixed emotions, completely baffled mind, and a strong desire to barf.
I saw people or should I say students walking with their parents with big smiles on their faces. Declaring that they're absolutely excited and proud. With their parents dropping them off and saying their goodbyes. A goodbye to immaturity and stupid things. Including the word and noun "fun".
I've been asking myself a question everyone does when they're about to enter college. Why do we think people go to college? As I look at it, people attend college or universities for many different reasons. For new experiences, career preparation, increased and additional knowledge. And maybe, just maybe, I am a bit excited about that thought.
My train of thoughts were suddenly interrupted when I heard a noise coming from behind. I saw Manong Eddie, carrying my bags out of the car's trunk.
"Ma'am ito na po yung mga gamit niyo." -Manong Eddie
"Thank you po" - me
"Grabe po no? Ang bilis ng panahon. Parang kahapon lang po nung nagkakilala tayo at ng naging parte kayo ng pamilya ni ser. At ngayon po, malaki na kayo at ngayon at papasok na kayo ng kolehiyo. Proud ho ako sainyo. - Manong Eddie
Si Manong Eddie. Si Manong Eddie ang driver namin. Driver na sila ni mommy at daddy dati pa. Kaya nung inampon nila ako ay nakilala ko na agad siya. At masasabi kong naging loyal at napakabait niya sa amin, lalo na sakin kahit alam niyang ampon lang ako.
"Thank you po Manong. Thank you po sa lahat. Na kahit po ampon ako eh hindi niyo kong tinaratong iba. Thank you po. Mag-iingat po kayo ha. Si nanay Lerma po ha at sila carlo, daniel at ethan po ha. Mamimiss ko po kayong lahat. Sige po, kailangan ko na pong umalis. Mag-iingat po kayo ha." - me. Niyakap ko siya. Naiiyak ako pero pinipigilan ko ito.
Kumalas nako sa yakap at nagpaalam na. 'Di nagtagal ay umalis na rin si manong. Napabugtong hininga ako. Ito na, magcocollege nako. I started to feel the butterflies that are rumbling inside my tummy, and this I can say, it's not a good feeling to start off. Kailanagan maging matapang ako. I sighed one last time. Picked my bags up, crept a smile on my lips and walked towards the entrance of this university that I'm going to spend a lot of my time with.
"Hi, uhm... here' - me
Ibinigay ko sakanya ang mga student number ko. Tinype niya yun at pinirint ang mga kakailanganin ko.
"dorm room no. 231, 2nd floor, MONTERO BUILDING."
"Freshman, BS in Business Management"
"Here's your itinerary" ibinigay ng parang nagaassist ng mga studyante sakin. Tiningnan ko lang 'to saglit. At dumiretso nako kaagad sa dorm ko.
