RE6 COMPARE AND CONTRAST: High School vs College

I never thought that going from high school to college would be a massive transition for me. It wasn’t easy to let go of the things that I have accustomed to. I could say that I have been prepared on what to do during college. My parents, my high school teachers and even the teachers in the review center for UPCAT kept on reminding me that college is a whole lot different compared to high school. I even found this guide on candymag.com on how to survive college. But I have to admit that I wasn’t prepared enough for the reality of this. In my four months of studying in the university, I have realized that there are will never be manuals as to how I will be able to cope up in college. It is up to me to figure out the twists and turns of it and be a victor at the end.

RE6 COMPARE AND CONTRAST: Metro Manila vs My Hometown

Ever since I was a girl wearing pigtails in the morning and pajamas at night, I have lived in the north of Metro Manila — Bulacan. I am proud to be called a “prom-di” (from the province) girl because there’s a certain characteristic attached to that word that makes me unique. Since I have lived almost 16 years of my life in the province, thinking of what feels like living in Metro Manila when college would come always makes me excited and thrilled. Since I am a girl from the province, there’s always this magical thought attached to Metro Manila whenever I think about it. Now that I am a freshman in college and currently living in a townhouse somewhere in Quezon City, I have concluded that Metro Manila has deceived me.
