There's more to life than love. There's more to life than grades.

'Grabe ang baba ng grade ko sa ganito!'

'Dapat ganito ung grade ko sa ganyan!'

'Dapat nagaral pa ko ng ganito ganyan!'

Seems familiar?

yan ang usual sentences na naririnig natin sa mga grade conscious na kaklase nten. (lalo na sa mga nagsabi na 'di daw' sila grade conscious.) Tipong tapos na ung quiz nyo may iba pa silang aaralin. ung madali na ung quiz magaaral padn. :/ walang buhay teh? I know that studying is REALLY important. That grabes really matter! But there's a choice of a healthy challenge we get from school from having to stress so much on studying that you break down and cry because of it. They're just numbers. Di umiikot ang mundo sa pag-aaral mo. As long as it's balanced. Enough time to study, enough time to enjoy life.

One more thing about that is, aral muna bago love life. Who are you kidding?! come on. What does that have to do with studying? "wala na kasing time para mag-aral kasi iniintindi mo si bf o si gf." "ayaw nya kasi na di ko sya pinapansin." BRO. ANU BA YAN. wag mo kasi paikutin mundo mo sa iisang tao. di lang nman kasi sya ang importante. Wag ka makipagrelasyon kung hindi mo kaya mabalance ung mga responsibility mo tsaka ang taong mahal mo. Atsaka kung mahal ka nya, iintindihin nya na kelangan mo dn magaral, if better, tulungan ka nya sa pag-aaral mo! Love is having to share the burdens and help each other to grow no matter what happens, even if you move apart or not! There are people that purposely try not to have a love life even if it's the person they really have because of their studies. No man, that's wrong... Lahat tayo nakaka-experience ng ganyan at dapat alam na natin ung gagawin sa ganyan. Balance lang yan. Let yourself enjoy these things and become open-minded in the things that we may never experience when we get older, because you'll end up regretting it in the end.

I'm not trying to be a bad influence or anything.

All i'm saying is that, a college degree does not assure you a job.

Enjoy life as it is and allow yourself to see the things that you never knew was there. Wag lang ung sobra okay? Like i said. Balance. Be a kid while you can and be an adult to what matters. Have fun and enjoy yourself to pleasures and explore to where your heart takes you. Study because you need to, not because you have to and because you want to.

to those grade conscious students who complain about their already passing grades, try to be content with what you have and be sensitive to those who weren't able to attain that grade. Be humble, because literally, some students are insensitive to the other students who failed. Don't complain okay? Just be happy that you passed and look forward to doing better in the next test. :) There are more things that matter than those that revolve around in the academic world.
