someone told me people from my school who were in the lower batches asked him why i wasnt in the school paper. from the way he saw it, those younguns saw me as this artsy, quirky person who can write well so why wasnt i in the School Paper, Achieving Things and whatnot.

truth is, kids, i never really expected anything from being a college student (in Ateneo). also never in my high school life did i wish with all my heart that i would be an Atenean. it was just that the only choices i gave myself was Ateneo and UP as the appealing schools i wanted to go to. it wasnt a question of future affiliation. it was mostly just a question of the only 2 schools i knew i liked.

i appreciated the new leaf as i entered college, but i didnt really imagine my Ideal College Self, and i didnt think so much about comparing it with my high school experience. there's relatively little for me to look back on, and i wasnt too attached to my Unknown High School From the South. i was thankful for the adequate education, but i guess that was it. hahahaha. i missed my friends, my HS class, but i really wasnt into constantly posting "i miss highschool" photo albums.

because a lot of my friends and the people in my highschool class were achievers, i guess their goals really were set kind of high. while i got into a few orgs and gigs on my own, to be honest, the only goal i ever had was to smoke weed, and i havent even accomplished that! hahahaha. (though its not a question of accessibility)

in the beginning i took college less seriously than a lot of my friends. but even as i'm actually only starting to really work on my credentials now and stuff, i still have no Ideal College Self. i'm just taking the experiences as they come, and i'm pretty cool with that.

i will find the answer in Peels.
