Drag Me To Hell


    It is hell week, the most dreaded time of the year where all project are due and all exams are crammed. The time when teachers can finally take their revenge on students, especially those who were ditching their classes, sleeping on their lectures and cheating on their exams. The time when students can no longer enjoy the privileges of sleep, food, social life and, in some unfortunate cases, the privilege of tending to your personal hygiene. It is hell week, and it is not called hell week for nothing.

   Emotional roller coaster, this would be the best definition of hell week. Skipped meals and lack of sleep does make a person crazy. Plus the pressure of hell week is cruel. That is just a perfect recipe for a mental and emotional breakdown. Even the toughest and the smartest people in class tend to fall apart. If you think that others don't, think otherwise. They're just good at pretending, that's all. Or probably we all have go through different levels of break down; there are others who go through suicidal emo-phase, and others who tend to laugh in the outside but is freaking out in the inside. 

   Despite the damages that hell week can bring to us, it still has it's perks. Amidst all those overwhelming deadlines, we can still manage to see a silver lining; and it is the beauty of friendship. With all those projects piling up, your greatest comrades of all are your classmates, they are the persons you can rely to and the persons who are going to stick with you through it all. During this time, you are given the opportunity go  to get to know your classmates and bond with them. Yes, it does sound cheesy but it is true. And this fact is mainly the reason why you can survive hell week, cheering each other up, motivating each other and dealing with every obstacle together. We survive because it is always good to know you are not in it alone.

     May the odds be in our favor this hell week

Today My Life Begins


     Or my blog, I apologize for being over rated. Anyway, please give me a round of applause for finally starting a blog. Yay! After a lot of attempts and wishful thinking, I have finally gathered all the courage to start a blog. I always wanted to do this but I was doubtful and scared. I am a bit doubtful with my writing skills, I know I am not the best writer (yet! haha) and still a little raw but I'll try my best to be tolerable and entertaining. And due to lack of abilities, I am very afraid that some of you may detest me as an aspiring writer. I know I can't please anybody and I'm not trying to please you either; all I wanted is some sort of respect but am very afraid that I can't earn just a little bit of of that.

     We can't live our whole lives living in fear. We all are afraid and we all have things that we fear, but today I am conquering my fears; fears of being judged, fears of being criticized, fears of being disliked. I also knew that those things are inevitable in life, and we encounter that everyday, so today I will look at those things in a different perspective. Although it is a bitter pill to swallow, in the end it is what makes me better and stronger than who I am today.

    That being said, I will humbly accept all those things that you would like to say to me, may it be good or bad. I would accept it with grace and optimism. Please don't be so harsh and be a little considerate, since I'm just starting out and still learning.
