6 Pillars

When it was time for college, I've always had a mindset that the friends that I'll meet will be distinctly different compared to those in highschool. This difference had frightened me before I entered the program. When orientation began, we all clustered in one circle and started to introduced ourselves to each other. Some seemed very ignorant, some seemed snobbish-ed, but some seemed down to earth.
Well, those were several of my first impressions of them. Some of it was right though. I gotta say, I am very thankful that I am surrounded by these people in my batch. They not only have led me into becoming a better person, but they've also helped me understand that everyone is of course different. That was the first lesson.That is my overall comment on the journey of being in the same class with all of them over the past 2 years. In this class, I am very close to five girls. These girls have their own hobbies, have their own experiences, and have their own needs. The merging of us 6 was because there was a certain similarity among us. I don't know what it is, but it has kept us going for 2 years. I gotta say this is a very wonderful feeling. And of course  it is satisfying in a way because you know you have friends. Each person represents a powerful source of energy, of which when it is combined with the rest of the people in the group, the bound becomes glowing in a way that a naked eye would be hard to perceive. Although there are times when conflicts emerge, there is always someone that can warm things down. The waves of different traits balances each other out that creates a harmonious relationship amongst the six of us. If metaphor-ed, we are like pillars, pillars that can stand individually and are very powerful when standing together.

New Beginning

I have actually pondered what it would be like when Uni life begins again in a new area. Don't you think that I too deserve a break at least a year to get me started on all these academical tasks that could overwhelm me in the future if I don't prepare enough? To lessen my burdening thoughts, I came to a lot of people for justification on how I can survive in that new place. Turned out to be encouraging although the fear always came through my mind once in a while despite all the chaos that has been going around. All the packing is almost done, but I still wonder how I would fit all of my belongings in my suitcase. A lot of my friends planned to bring a lot of things to this new home. They had already been shipped there stuff, but I think I won't bring that many things as them.

My dad always said that everything that we don't know can be learned. I believe in what he said, however, to me it's still frightening to start and learn new things. I am truly not a  risk taker unlike some of my closest people. I am a more prepared, conscientious person when making major decisions. Is this a bad thing though? Would it actually help me? Does this provide a distinction to others? Can it just be that easy to decide?
It is pretty obvious that I don't want to be indecisive, I just want to be precise and dominantly in control on how my days would turn out. But I guess, the higher power here is not to be handled by me as a fragile being.
I would just have to strive and pray that positive outcomes will come continuously for the rest of my life.
