You were wrong. Things did end well. Or at least that's what I think. After all, I'm no fortune teller.

2020 Recap

-
Before I completely lose the memories I have of the past three years, I think it would be a great idea to do a recap and recall most of the things that happened during those points in my life. Let's begin in 2020. What a fucked up year that was. It was the year that took my dad from us.  Losing my Dad 2020 was the year of the pandemic, right? Because of that, we had to take our 3rd and 4th year of undergrad online. We had to take our exams online, too, study alone, review alone, with physically no other people who are going through the same tough exams as you.  Anyway, come October of 2020, we were bomb-dropped with the news of having no Prelims and no Midterms, but just one Final exam that will cover the whole semester which we are supposed to take in January of the next year. And so, it was very crucial for us to already start reviewing for that even if it was still October because it's a one-take, one-kill exam.

So this is it then. The night where I end my 16-year deed of clinging onto my parents, relying on their feet to stand for me. I'm leaving home.

And I am anxious. No one ever tells you that your first day in your first full time job is also the exact same time your young adulthood ends and your proper adulthood begins. It starts very mildly, and then it snowballs into something really huge that it takes over your life and your being. But you will only see it as a mere milestone--as an ordinary day to celebrate your first day at work (Yay!) when, really, it is a very, very big shift in your life. In your existence. Starting a job for the first time, I haven't got enough experience to actually describe it. But I have a fair share of life events that is like this, inconspicuously life- and status-quo-changing. Off the top of my head, college graduation and passing the CPALE are a few of them. More often than not, the very first layer we see of these milestones is, of course, the surface. And the surface very sparkly only shows that these events are huge achievements that call for celebrations. There is not one sign of the shif...
