Reminiscing my high school days, I really had a very funny, exciting, and memorable life with my high school classmates. Maybe because this was the period of discovering oneself and these high school friends of mine played the most important role in my life. So when we finally had our graduation, I felt very sad for we will be having our own separate ways to take. But I was slightly happy for I’ll be going to college with some of my close friend. Because of that, living and adjusting in college life became easy for me. We studied in a university far from our hometown that had also brought much homesick to us during the first month of college. But with the help of newly met friends, I still managed to adjust. A lot of emotional, physical and even social changes happened to me. I became mature.

Looking back, transferring to a new town and school is very hard. It’s like going back to zero. I had to meet new people, new surrounding, new lifestyle, everything is new. When the school year began my high school friends and I seldom see each other for we are taking up different courses. I took up BS ECE, the two took up BS ChE, while the other one took up BS HRM. Because of this, I have to be friends with my ECE classmates whether I like it or not, because I’m not a loner person. I want my social life to be always active. It really took me a hard time to know them and make friends with them. This had been the biggest challenge for me. Luckily, when I was second Year College, there came a time that our department had its annual week celebration that brought so many surprises to each of us. This event took place very fast followed by our college week celebration. By participating through the different events, I found out that I became closer with some of my classmates. I found much happiness going out with them. They may not know it, but whenever I laugh with them, it’s my laughest (term I invented) laugh that really turned my stomach. I don’t know, but every time before I sleep, I really thank God for this gift of friendship he had given me. I want to nurture this friendship I had with my classmates. Though we are just about one eighth of the total population of our year level, I hope that those small groups will eventually combine and make up the friendship that most of us want. A friendship that would surely last long. But for now, I’m contented with this. Thank you friends for giving me inspiration to live and happiness whenever I’m sad and worried and to forget my problems even for a short time. Thank you for making me feel welcome and at home in this place far from my home. You know who you are! Thank you very much, I’m counting on you for many years to come. Cheers!
