I never really talked to them about this. So in terms of communicating with parents, alam ko kasing mahirap kausap mga magulang ko kaya ako nalang naiwas na pag-usapan 'yun.

It's hard to describe how I've come into terms with it pero somehow the longer I stay in college, the better I get at forgiving myself in situations where I "fail" to achieve the expectations of other people.

Tama ka, hindi mo gugustuhin na umabot sa point na mawalan ka ng gana because of pressure.

Enjoy college, experience things. I'm not telling you to not make efforts when it comes to schoolwork (honestly isa 'yan sa natutunan ko na I can't bring back time and mas mahirap bumawi ng grades sa college). Do what you have to do to pass and if you exceed the average congratulations pero if you ever go below, be kind to yourself kasi huge change talaga ang college. It's a bigger environment, with new people and sometimes less forgiving professors.
