Time flies so fast. It goes by so fast over us.
Final exams is about to destroy us all.
I swung my bag on my left shoulder, entering the College of Engineering with big steps. I took out my phone to frequently check on my notes while sipping my iced coffee.
Ang sabi ng karamihan hindi na raw effective ang last minute na pagrereview pero wala akong choice. May ilan pa akong na-miss na hindi pwedeng hindi ko matandaan. Those are important equations.
Pagkaakyat ko ay may nakabunggo pa ako at mabilis naman kaming nagsorry sa isa't isa. Napagtanto ko na napakarami pa palang tao sa labas. The hallway is too busy. Everyone's outside with their phones, flashcards and notebooks. Everyone is too tensed because of the finals. Including me. Lahat ay abala sa pag-aaral at ni isa ay walang sinasayang na oras.
Noong high school ako, hindi naman masyadong ganito. Kapag last minute, chill na lang ang karamihan.
Pero iba na ngayon. College really has no chill.
Lumiko ako at nadaanan ko ang student lounge. That place is for relaxation while studying, but all I could see is stressed out geniuses pushing their glasses up, flipping pages, anxious breaths. They seem to put lots of pressure on themselves to maintain their 1.0.
Ako... hindi na ako naghahangad ng uno. I'm an engineering student and we never expect for that. Shit's too hard to expect for the best.
Pero wala akong karapatang magreklamo na mahirap. I chose this. Not just for myself, but also for my father.
I want to study about aircrafts to reach the sky, and he's one of those now. He's with the stars now.
Tinuon ko na lang ulit ang tingin ko sa cellphone at nilipat ang picture para ma-scan ang isang notes. Sinimulan kong magkabisa ulit habang inaakyat ang third floor. Bad trip talaga ang mga elevator rito, mabuti na lang may ten minutes pa bago ako malate.
"Defargo!" Someone shouted my name and it sounded like Halvint. Hinanap siya ng mga mata ko at hindi naman ako nabigo. "Good luck sa finals!" He showed me two thumbs up.
"Ikaw din, galingan mo bumagsak!" Ngumiti ako at nagmadali na sa pag-akyat matapos itapon ang walang lamang cup sa basurahan.
I memorized the equations and understood every basic concepts. I studied a lot for the finals yet I couldn't help but feel stressed. Nakakabobo talaga magcollege. Sinasagad mo na amg sarili mo pero parang kulang na kulang pa rin. I had a bad case of nerves going into final exams, and I hope that it won't prevent me from doing my best.
I searched for an empty seat right after I enter the room. Kinusot ko ang puyat kong mga mata at muling nag-aral. I already screwed the hell out of my final exams when I was in second year, so I need to focus now. I need to ace every test. I can't fuck this up.
