My first day in UP

     I can still vividly remember that day, June 13, 2000. This was the day I became a true blue "scholar ng bayan". I had butterflies in my stomach while traveling from Bulacan to UP. I had mixed emotions at that time. I was nervous, scared and yet excited at the same time. I didn't know what is in store for me in this jungle called UP.

     I had a lot of bad impressions about UP before. I was afraid about how dangerous it is in UP because of the frat wars I often hear in the news. I used to think that all students here are "tibak" and I was afraid that sooner or later I'll be one of them. But deep inside, what I am really afraid of is change. I was afraid of the thing called "solo flight" in college because we were so used to do things together in high school even going to the comfort rooms. I expected a lot of adjustments because this was a new chapter in my life.

     I attended the freshman orientation or welcome of some sorts in the UP theatre. Upon entering the theatre, I was not that afraid anymore because I know all the students were as scared as I am. But still I didn't know what to expect after that. Will my life be similar in high school? Will I have a terror professor? Will I pass my subjects? Anyway all the responses to these questions were not immediately answered. The answer lies in the whole journey of my college life. As what a nice song tells, it's a long long journey till I know where I'm supposed to be.
