What?? Degree Holder??

I must feel very successful upon writing this. To tell you the truth, Its been a year since I got my diploma, it’s mixed emotions I have now and none of it is success.

Here goes the explanation you are looking forward to read
(I’m just assuming that you are, haha)

Well, I got the pride my relatives have towards me, aside from being called an Engineer (which reddens my cheeks every time cause I’m not suppose to be called one for I did not take a board exam – no board exam for my course in that matter). I resigned from my first ever job, for a service of 7 months right after I got regularize (sucks right?). Not that I plan everything out, my health joins the business and kaboom, need to do what needs to be done. (Well I think this should be elaborated on other blog post. haha) So that’s one part I kinda feel disappointed about myself but as what they always say ‘You’re young, plenty of room for mistakes’.

On the contrary, I feel blessed realizing I’ve actually finish something. Not sure if I mention this on my other blog posts but there is a phrase I live by in college.

~If you started something, make sure to finish it~

Its not always sunshine back in college, there’s some point you feel betrayed by people, sometimes by friends and most of the time by your own self. I have my share of failed subjects.

~It’s engineering, there’s at least one subject you can fail before you can graduate~

I’ve been hearing this more than I should either from students, from teachers, from parents. I guess failing is not always a bad thing, I say that myself. I once talk to someone about driving, and I think this is important. As quoted “Mas maayo gani mabangga ka, aron makabalo ka sa kadako sa imong gidrivan” There are damages but with experiences, you are wiser 😉 and something to put in mind, if you’ll ever fail in life at least you know whose person you can turn to and what feeling will swallow you alive. I’ve learn this early in life.I don’t know if I’m wiser. I just wanna thank God for bringing me at this point in time. Forever thankful for the guidance.

And looking back to the good ‘ol days, I must say this is something good, not great though, as what I see, everyone nowadays graduates. It’s been a great competition against myself at least in this competition I win twice. (If you know what I mean) Both competitor wins.

5 years in college and here I am 1 year after. Finally had the time to congratulate myself. Congrats Mate!! You doubted yourself, oneself could possibly do in her lifetime, you’re here, you’re alive, live on. I hope you’ll never lose the innocence you always have.
And please believe in yourself!!

Not Sure what phrase to live by this time. Could it be YOLO?! YOLO it is!! 😉
