Too much work, no play?

Too much Work, No Play

38 days until the last day of sophomore year, time goes by so fast, too fast. With all the work and the stress, it feels like I have missed important details of my life. Going through my planner, it's full of "do this, do that" "study this, finish this." Is that all life can offer? Full of work and no play? But then again, those choices were made by me, and me alone - without the persuasion and urging of others. In a span of two years, I have learned so much with both my studies and my organization. I learned to work hard and do the best - to be passionate in everything I do. I opened my eyes to situations I never thought of being able to go through, I've become mature, yet still childish at certain time. Anothet two years, I'll be grduating granted that I don't repeat or fail any subject. It leaves me to think of what I'll become in the future.

I'm currently taking Management Economics, shifted from Psychology. Given the chance to change my course, I would have, again. But not because I don't like my current course, since I love it, I really do, I never thought I would enjoy studying economics this much. But, as I design the posters and tarps for SPEED, every time I layout for SPLAT or MATANGLAWIN, missing the things I enjoy most, certain doubts and regrets consumes my well-being. I would ask myself, "why am I here?" "Why am I doing this?" I've always wanted to be an interior designer or an architect, but why did I chose to study here without the courses I truly want? Was I led by the practicality of society? or to my own practicality?

I remember choosing among two universities as a high school student, it was either UST or ADMU, either my dream course or my dream school. As it may be seen, now being an atenista, I did chose ADMU - my dream school. In the first year studying in ADMU, I had my regrets. Firstly because Ateneo demands so much. I believe I am capable, but living so far from this school, I became so tired, plus being away from my closest friends was also a disadvantage.

Thinking through everything what happened again, I am no longer regretting my choice. The Ateneo have given me many opportunities and I just simply love it! Despite the stress and the work load, everything is worth it studying in this school. Even though I won't be the interior designer, I can always pursue it in the future. What's important is I'm enjoying what I am doing now, and everything hell week is worth the stress.
