A fresh new start

The night has ended. A new dawn arises. A promise of a better tomorrow. Something to hold on to, something to keep my head high.

I have never really given thought about my college life until today. I have once again survived a semester, but not just your ordinary semester. A semester full of stress and mishaps, full of toxic memories and people.

I have come to learn different things this time.

First, you could never please everybody. No matter how hard you try. No matter how kind you are to them, people will still betray you. Even if all you had to do is give them what they need and what would benefit all.

Second, not everyone who seems nice is really nice. Some people just hide with their charming smiles and sweet voice. Others are just as dark as others. Yet, even in their most deceptive form, you don't need them in your life. They would just add to the everyday stress you have at school.

Third, not everyone who seems to know everything really knows everything. Sometimes they don't even know what they are talking about and yet they want you to learn without even having to explain it right.

Somehow, I got out of the burden of having to live by these things because I learned things that will aid me in the continuous battle of life. As I embark on another semester, I know I will be equipped with more weapons and I will be more prepared as to what might come.
