When I entered graduate school, I felt so alone. My co-elbi friends pursue MOS while I decided to pursue MS. While it was a brave attempt to pursue masters with a full time work, I was more emotionally challenged for being alone. I had an advanced thought of studying, doing assignments, and ranting about school stuff – alone.
Struggle nga ang mag-isa. But God would always be there (despite everything) and He gave me my masters friends.
For the last semester, I had only two subjects. Both are hardcore theories so God gave me hardcore two set of friends too. Naks! One group is my probability friends, they are such awesome gals and guys! Whenever we had an exam, we gather on the exam day at the Sanggumay dormitory and collaboratively help each other. They all speak Bisaya so I had to ‘force’ myself to understand them. My Bicolano lingo sometimes save me from shame but oftentimes is not enough! They are so sweet too! One friend wrote me a very long email, another gave me a birthday gift too. They are awesome-ness!
With real friends, realized I didn't have pics with my prob friends!
My real classmates (as in real ang subject) are awesome gals too! These gals had the worst and best things in life. They are my friends beyond the four corner of our classroom, where a super phlegmatic teacher teaches us. We ate together after class, text each other outside class, shares about mischief and craziness in life, celebrate hardships in school, and just do some crazy stuff. They are my pretty crazy classmates. Naalala ko pa one time na nangtrip kami ng isang crew sa greenwich and I really went home laughing so hard! And for the record, they text me more about non-school stuff rather than about our classes and lessons!
We all know that grad school is brain draining and patience stretcher. It can damage your brain cells and break your heart! But with friends full of awesomeness, graduate school spells as F-U-N!
