until I entered UP almost four years ago. It made me realize three things:

1. Even if I have exerted my greatest effort in my academics, it won’t still yield to the best result. It’s just almost all professors here have high expectations OR I’m just too dumb and-that-made-me-wonder-why-I-passed-UPCAT-at-all.
2. Almost all of my classmates are awesome. They’re so awesome that they still get high remarks despite studying HOURS before the exam. In my case, three days of burning my eyebrows wouldn’t yield the same thing. Mediocrity.
3. Even the best fall down sometimes. Even the out-of-this world results seemed right.
