How Life Outside College can be CRUEL.
... and how deadly it can be traveling all the way to Manila to study.KIDDING First day of college was just near. Near as in five days from now. YAY!-not.
My family, they've been giving me tips, advices and the like on how to be street smart, where and where not to cross, where to ride a bus, where to sit in the bus, what kind of bus to ride, to never even mistake "Lawton" for "Cubao" (DUH?!?), alternatives, how not to attract holdapers & snatchers, where to eat during lunch, where to buy school stuff, where can I use the internet near DLSU, landmarks to remember if my school was almost near (JOLLIBEE. I remembered xD), how to get to another place, how much are the jeepney & bus fares, on how to always bring my ID for fare discounts (DUH, and for school purposes also!), what I can do during my breaks (e.g do assignments or eat a quick lunch), what to drink (juices are a must- softdrinks are NOT-- geez, how come?!), told me how early I should leave home, how to avoid traffic during Mondays, how to always walk smart (oh for heaven's sake), on how to always look "smart" (oh for heaven's sake times two), on how to always prepare an exact amount of fare, on where to make "tambay" (McDonald's) if I made it to school alive, kidding =)) early,
rather. And I also received "informative" descriptions on each street/highways we had set foot upon =)) (e.g Taft).
I remember a friend, who insists on accompanying me on a certain place that I'm suppose to go to (somewhere here on my city). Even told me that I'll might get lost if I go alone. And I was like thinking, duh If I don't know the place nor I don't have the city map (the city which I'm living for 17 years now! & I think I don't even NEED A MAP!!!), I'm sure Manong Tricycle Driver know-- and I'm 100% sure I'll go home alive. That backed him off =)) I'm not dumb naman. And I don't think simple directions can kill me. HELLO? INCOMING COLLEGE STUDENT HERE!
Anyway.
AND TO THINK I HAVE TO REMEMBER ALL THAT + my complicated class schedule (which I'm gonna study on Sunday) + I have to remember all the buildings so I won't get lost nor be late for my next class, or be OBVIOUSLY look stupid to those intimidating upperclassmen +
How to NOT BE AN OUTFIT REPEATER. Lol. Major problem. Shirts, pants and my chucks is a safe get-up. A great skill of mix-matching is also a key.
And to think its not even about school or homework yet :|
