How to Balance Boyfriend and School

A few weeks ago one of my friends asked me how do I balance my life between my boyfriend and school. It's not that difficult for me since I have the perks of having a great and awesome boyfriend.

• I don't stress myself on balancing the equation. - I let this fly.
• I trust my boyfriend that he won't do anything stupid.
• School is school and whatever grade I get is all I could give.

Bonus:

My boyfriend already graduated college and is currently working far from where I am now. Yeah, LDR (Long Distance Relationship)

• He's busy with work in the morning. - Means I don't have to worry about missing his calls.
• He cares for my education. - Reminds me constantly about school work.
• We belong in the same college. - I can have further explanations and insights on my diff. subjects.
• He's smart. - I can ask him whatever I want.
• He offered that if I had any questions or need any help with school, he's there. - All hail my boyfriend. 

Collegiate Confidence

Ever since I got into college all I could think about was starting fresh and forgetting all the mistakes and regrets I had in high school. I never though about finding love, wanting to be one of those contestants in pageants and representing my college, nor did I wonder if I'd be able to raise my confidence. But I did.

I found the all-most right peers for me, I'm still not sure if they're THE ONE. They make me feel superior at some point, especially because I'm the most fluent in the English language in the group and they look up to me for that. But it's because of them that I'm motivated to keep up with my studies because all of them are grade oriented and they worry a lot about school.

Things changed for me ever since my boyfriend came along. His name is Aljon and he's four years older than me. I've never met a boy like him before. He's so open about himself and he barely hides his feelings and reactions. He usually says what his mind is saying. I look up to him and I've never accepted myself this much before. Plus he helps me a lot with my studies.

Our Finance1 teacher is one of my favorite teachers right now. I like to attend her class and I'm always energized no matter what. I'm putting pressure on myself since the major I'd be taking is Financial Management but she makes things really easy. I'm not afraid to speak up in class which I guess is why my mind is not in a little box during her period.

All of these have contributed to my success in gaining more confidence and I thank these people for helping me achieve that. Having people to push you will only take you half way, it's within your will to meet your standards.

Birthday Mad Day

So my darling friend is celebrating her 17th birthday today and like a specific time was set for us to leave and go to our destination which is a resort 30 mins away from the city. and around 30 mins before our departure I texted her and she said no one has showed up yet. And I heat inside me started to boil my blood because I truly hate late comers. That's the situation.

My mom told me that I should just drop it and cancel and I got even more upset because what kind of person am I really? Does she not even know me at all? Just because it's mother's day she could say those things. I don't give up on my friends that easily unless it's a school work. :D But even more now that I won't give up because it's her birthday! And she's celebrating it a day ahead because we, her friends, are not available tomorrow because we got summer classes.

I called my boyfriend to talk to someone and take my mind off things but he just added to the frustration because he's going out and have fun somewhere with his cousin and leave his phone at home because he said he's downloading some apps for his new phone. URGH! I am so mad right now. Typing these things just lightened up the weight on my shoulders a bit. just A BIT.

God, I need my powers back

What really happened to me? I used to be this really inspired type of girl when it comes to editing photos and videos. *Quick history: I was in 6th grade when I discovered about Photoshop on our laptop. I was just checking things out, clicking random buttons on the software until I fell in love with it. That's where everything started. I was also a youtuber that time, I saw videos, tutorials. It inspired me on what I could do using PS. I had that much power and imagination.* I'm not blaming high school, I got more active on my Freshmen years. I must have done something wrong. Tracing back through my memories, I realize that ever since I engaged into a young boy-girl relationship, I lost my sight of my goals in relation to editing. I got obsessed with my boyfriend, I was never busy with school work. Yet I was busy texting.

Now that I'm single again, for 3 months already. I was hoping to get my mojo back. But still, my edits look crappy to me. No life, no noise, I played it safe. I used to make awesome photos, edits, youtube and twitter backgrounds. I soon became inactive of my blog that was meant for editing. When I was a Sophomore, I made another blog on weebly.com. I posted my latest edits there, along with my other interests like giving links for downloads. But when I became a Junior, I slowly forgot about it. I only open Photoshop for a quick edit of my photo.

Now that I'm a Senior, preparing for college. Still confused on what to take. I thought about Computer Engineering, because I had this interest in computers. Or maybe Graphical Design. But I started having second thoughts about my choices and once again, I was lost in the world and I'm running out of time. So I'm praying to God to enlighten me. If related to Computers is where I really belong, then send me a sign. I need inspiration. I even forgot on how good I was at editing.

Love: Afraid? or Just Don't?

A friend of mine recently told me he likes me, but I'm not completely believing him because he used to be someone I talked about having sex and stuff. He even offered me to make out with him once and I pretended I was in to it, but we never really did it.

After he confessed that he liked me, I told him I don't feel the same way. It was hard for me to explain why. Why? It's because I don't really see him as handsome. Well, physical attractiveness comes first but in love that doesn't matter. We've never been classmates ever for the past four years in high school so I don't really know his nature nor could I judge him. But the only time me and my friends can talk about him is when they say mean things about him and his faults. So basically I have no background on him. Plus his mom is one of our school teachers, and she almost busted me and boy (my ex) just for sitting at the back hallway for a while. [A/N: The back hallway is also known as the lovers en for the high school students in different grade levels.]

What I'm saying is, whenever I see my friend, my head creams trouble. But I left him hanging, by saying maybe I could learn to love him. I always gave him reasons to why I'm having a dilemma. 

Reasons:

1. Half of the school year was over which means college was coming soon, and he's not staying here for college and I am. Plus I'm not a huge fan of LDR (Long Distance Relationships).

2. Maybe I need a boyfriend so I would be very sure that I'd have someone to dance with on prom for the first dance.

3. I miss intimacy, I have always been the romantic time and I miss all the hugging, and holding hands.

4. What if the right person for us both would be in the colleges we would be attending? Would it be worth the break-up and the pain if I ever would say yes?

5. He's too good for me. The past girls he courted were on the top list of "prettiest girls on the Juniors and Seniors".

6. And he's super smart and it'd be a challenge to compete against him.

I'm just not sure if it's going to be worth it. I'm just not attracted to anyone right now, not since my break-up with boy that happened 3 months ago. Or maybe I'm the one that's not letting any love in? Seeing my friends who are -more attractive than me that had never had a boyfriend before still being happily single. It made me realize that for thirteen years I survived not having a boyfriend. What's another 13 years going to do to me? But then again I was never really like those single girls, I was more of the risk-taker type of girl. So I guess I'm stuck with my dilemma, and wondering if I'd ever get a college diploma 'cuz I have no idea what course to take after summer break.
