Greetings

Although it's only been a month into the semester, I've realized that the college experience will truly be an unforgettable one. Like most wonderful (wonderfully tragic) things that happen to us, we want to remember them. S0 located here, will be various glimpses of my college experiences. However, the purpose for having this blog is mixed. But whether it's for me to document things, keep in touch with you guys, or amuse a passing browser, it holds only the meaning that one bestows.

Going back to the topic of college, while my actual journey from home to school took about 14 hours, transitioning from high school to college took much longer. The truth is, I never felt the pressing readiness that my fellow classmates apparently seemed to have felt since “forever ago.” Leaving somewhere so familiar to me and bidding good-bye to my peers was more than just “difficult” as we embarked on our separate paths. As Uncle Joe's family may testify, I was still packing on the night before my departure. I've always been a light traveler, but this time was different. A part of me felt like packing my life into those cubic cases, but physical space was so limited that I can only carry everything in my heart.

Unlike high school, being in college blurs the timeline as it becomes easy - and frequent - to lose one's chronological sense of things. In other words, weeks here can transmute into blissfully fleeting moments or tortuously painful years (for those who are currently trying to endure school/schoolwork, I'm sure you know how the latter feels). Rest assured, for me this occurs without the prerequisite of any usage of illegal substances. On the other hand, one thing that remains constant regardless of where you are is it's always easy to lose track of time.

Speaking of time, I have class in a few minutes so I'll end the post with this: In high school, I didn’t sleep because of projects. In college, it was because of ping-pong.

Stay tuned. And feedbacks on how you are doing? :)
