DCLC: First Month of Senior High Experience

DCLC: First Month of Senior High Experience 

A status quo of my student life. 

Most of you might be asking how I am right now. Well, I want to answer that question by giving an update with my new school. Dr. Carlos S. Lanting College. Our classes have started a month ago and so far, so good. Anyways, this is our uniform for Senior High School. 

Senior High Uniform

Yep. I look like an elementary student instead of looking more matured. I gotta blame my height and cheerleader like uniform. But I love it though. Better than my Junior High uniform at St. Catherine. Oops, comparison. 

Everyday of going to my classroom is kind of struggle for it is located at 7th floor. I could take the elevator, yes, but I have to wait for the long queue every single day and that will not be practical because I'm gonna be late. So if I am really rushing, I take the stairs instead. The struggle is real, you know. I always arrive our classroom with my heart pounding and bead-like sweats trickling inside my uniform. 

But it is worth it. 

I was late the first day because I got lost at the annex building and really had a hard time locating my classroom, Thus, I got placed at the rightmost back part. Luckily, I found some girls to be friends with. Princess, and Rizalyn were my angels in heaven during the first week. If not because of them, I would've have become totally adjusted to the new environment. 

Here they are: 

Rizalyn on my left; Princess on my right and Wezyl is the one beside her. 

Excuse my pale face

Wezyl (Rizalyn's cousin)  is from STEM-B. These gals serve as my companion every breaktime and dismissal. 

Since I am nearsighted, I am really having trouble being at the back. So during the 3rd week, I had a request to be placed in front. Having said that, I got new seatmates and new people to interact with, who happened to be Kathrine, Wharner, Zephaniah and Ralph. 

Kathrine has become a good confidante of mine. Even if we just freshly met, I was already able to share her some of my feels and whatnots. I feel so glad that someone gladly listens to my endless dramatic rants and thingamajigs. Here she is. 

My adjustment persisted on going better as I faced the 3rd week. God has blessed me with a new squad, (aside from Princess and Rizalyn. I did not replace them, okay?) The best news I found out is when I've known that most of them are christians! Yes! That might be the main reason why most of our vibes clicked together. 

Mah Christian Squad. <3 font="" nbsp="">

Also during the 3rd week, the dismissal squad has proliferated, we got a new addition who is my former schoolmate when I was in 6th grade. 

It's Kharlwayne. The ultimate jester of our section.

I was so surprised that he's one of the girls. Don't get me wrong though, he's straight! It's just that, he tags along with our squad so well  that even though we're all girls, he got no awkwardness at all. 

I also found my brotha from anotha motha/ best buddy, Khallil. He loves taking pictures basically anytime. In fact, I got a lot of stolen photos from this buddy right here since his phone is always on his hand to quickly take a shot of something silly or ridiculous. To cut it short, he's the official iphoneographer of our section. Lol.

Sample of his stolen shots: 

Our class is comprised with a  bunch of awesome peeps. Some are mysterious, some are so cool to be with, and some are lost on their own reverie. But so far, I am glad. Glad that I made a good decision to transfer at DCLC. Good facilities, friendly teachers, not-that-hassle schedule, and awesome classmates. Thank you so much, Big G for blessing my first month of stay at my new school. I hope that it gets better as days continue to pass. 

Yours always,

Highschool Relationships

Ever since the modernism struck teenagers, Having a romantic relationship with an opposite ex has become prevalent and conventional. Specially in highschool, being someone's girlfriend or boyfriend isn't deemed as villanous as long as you keep a right track of your studies. In fact, it actually spices up your highschool since you have an additional reason to wake up early every morning and cudgel your brains with those sleep-depriving exams and student stuff. You'll have someone who can perk your spirit up when you feel down towards a particular subject. You'll have someone you can set your goals with and celebrate your sense of accomplishment with. You could have an inspirational better half who would make you push it through though you feel like resigning yourself to the dreary fate that school gives you. You will have someone to be proud of if he/she receives an accolade from the school. There would be someone who wouldn't make you feel bitter of Valentine's day and instead, will make you feel pumped out and giddy inside. Most of all, You'll have someone who would make your highschool life simply unforgettable.

But the downside, it can bring a distraction instead of inspiration, isn't it?  What if you had a quarrel with your 'bae' and exams weeks are nearly impending? Chances are, your mind will be filled with bafflement and it will give you a hard time to study; Instead of facing a book, you would instrad grab your phone and text your friends while spilling the bits of those vehement thoughts inside you. Even if it seems sweet for you to have a so-called, 'loveteam' however, there is a tendency for you to lose your identity as yourself at school since every now and then, people would see you as: Girlfriend/ Boyfriend of *Insert name here*. Some guys will start to avoid you and back off since you've been known as 'Taken' at the back of their minds. You wouldn't be able to explore other circles and have more pals of the opposite sex. Your highschool life will be limited and worse, controlled by the one you gave your heart to. You'll have more constant fights since the both of you are still juvenile to handle those complicated situations. You'd flunk your grades since you spend more time having such saccharine conversations with each other in lieu of studying. Worst case scenario will be the emergence of teenage pregnancy. Let's face the music, highschool students are indeed venturesome up to the point where, if the temptations slide from their grip they would be filled with uncontrollabilty and might go beyond the bounds.

So as a highschool student, which one outweighs? The first or latter part? To have or to not have? Well, being involved to a next-level relationship depends upon the maturity and the priorities of the persons involved with it. If you think you have a good ability to juggle studies and lovelife while facing the consequences, why not take the plunge? Just be sure to make it LEGAL. If your priorities regarding studies, career and family are set straight and having a romatic relationship isn't not yet your thing as teenager, then I guess waiting for the right time is the best deal for you. After all, YOU are the controller of you life and everything relies to your matter of choice.
