Different Faces of ‘Singles’

Single- (n.) is an individual person or thing rather than part of a pair or a group.

 

  1. Singles with responsibilities these are people who aren’t lucky enough to find someone while growing up. They usually mingle with their school friends but don’t share stories about their crushes because they don’t have one. Sometimes, these people choose to be single just as not to jeopardize their studies and make their parents proud of them until college—or maybe until they probably grow up and move out of their parents’ house—they usually say, “I’ve got to finish my major first”, “My dad won’t allow me…”, “Relationships are for people who have time to enjoy, I’m taking up my second degree now, I can’t just fall in love and forget about my career.”

Goodbye, 21.

“I’ve been stepping into the staircase with my naked imagination that at the end of that path, there’s something waiting for me, just like a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.”-RJQ

Twenty-one years old. I was 21 years old just last August 1st and now, I’m 22—turned 22 on the 2nd day of August 2014—too much ‘number 2’ I say—and so I’ve been told.

I’m not a special or what, but here’s the thing, I didn’t know I was actually 21 until I celebrated my birthday last Aug. 2, weird eh? Not for me.

Last year—August 2013—was not a good start for me, it was the worst way to start my birth month. There were some circumstances that suddenly blasted in front of my eyes but I will never mention them anymore because past is always a thing that you should left behind.

Do you want to know what am I actually been doing when I was 21? Well, here we go. Continue reading “Goodbye, 21.”

College: Deal or No deal?

High school is way different from College. College is the stage where you get to choose what you want to do for the rest of your life. This is your training ground for the real world. What you learned in high school will be enhanced in college. High school graduates sometimes mistakenly think that college can ruin their lives and the friendship they built throughout the years in high school that’s why other students are stuck comparing high school with college even if they haven’t seen the real deal in college. Some students are not yet ready to face college because they’re having low self-esteem and lacking of encouragement to look at the brighter side of entering a new school…a university.

I have five simple ways you can survive your whole college life, whether it’s a 4-year, 5-year or 6-year course.

1. Choose the course that you really love.

Passion before mission. Choose the course that best describes you.  Don’t let your parents interfere with your decisions. Talk to them and tell them what you really like. You have to fight for whatever you want. You’re considered as an adult now, you have to make tough decisions by yourself…decisions that you really like. You don’t have to listen to whatever other people say, you have to listen to you heart…who gets tired of the saying: follow your heart? No one! haha! You will never enjoy something that you never wanted…EVER!

First Meeting

I stumble in front of him. “Oh, I’m sorry.” I mutter. He helped me stand on my feet. “Clumsy eh?” he smirked. I frowned. “I’m sorry?” I said. what an arrogant he is! “Well, here’s your stuff.” he handed me my books. “Next time you fall, don’t ever worry.” he said I don’t know what to say. I stared at him blankly.  I don’t even know him! I moved forward away from … Continue reading First Meeting

BUM LIFE: A Sluggish Beginning

Vacation is a trendy word for rest. Usually “Rest Time” is only good for 2-3 no-labor-days or in schools they have it max to 30days. What comes next to vacation is what 20ish individuals call the BUM LIFE, where you get to have your unlimited no-school-work-days, wakeup-late-with-brunch-serve, 24/7 internet surfing and anything you want to do! Isn’t that the nicest music you’ve heard in your whole life? But when will you put a deadline on this slothful living? When is the right time to walk out of this man-made-heaven?

Who are those people living this kind of life? College Graduates seeking for a vacation after a 4-year-struggle on their studies, unemployed, terminated workers/ employees, slacker, couch potato, rich kids, sick people and bludger or maybe anyone who just wanted to get out of their restless life. But I’d like to focus on graduates.

What’s the best part of having this kind of living?

You can take your biggest break EVER. With a well-planned life, after graduation, some goes straight to the real world and work their asses out to earn. Some are leaving for other country to work or to have vacation first and then work. But most are still thinking where to go, what to do next and where to enjoy the vacation before going to the stressful life of the real world. (Well, apparently, I belong to the MOST group. haha) Continue reading “BUM LIFE: A Sluggish Beginning”
