Curious question lang
To the people who left UP — not because they graduated, but because they had to leave. Basta, all former UP students na hindi nakapagsablay… do you still consider yourself a UP student?
Konting context:
It’s been years since I left upd for another university to pursue my dream course, and every now and then, binabalikan pa rin ako ng ghosts from my past. Yung mga “what ifs” and “kung sana pinatyagaan ko na lang yung course ko, baka nasa UP pa rin ako at may sablay na ngayon.”
Pero honestly? I’m genuinely happy now. I’m thriving in my course, and I’ve never been this passionate about what I’m studying. It's just that sometimes, I still feel like what happened to me was unfair. I know I’m a good student. Babagsakin minsan, oo, but I always stand back up and I fight for what I think is right. Pero hindi ako nabigyan ng chance makalipat sa kursong gusto ko, so eventually, I left.
One of the hardest decisions of my life.
I don’t regret it because this is probably the happiest I’ve ever been. But syempre, may kirot pa rin minsan. Not bitterness — just sadness for the version of me that really wanted to stay. That’s why I wanted to ask former UP students who didn’t get the sablay:
Do you still consider yourself a UP student?
Ps. sometimes I wanna watch UAAP games in person and cheer for UP because it was my home for 3 years… and honestly, a part of me still feels like it is. Pero I never got the chance to kasi nahihiya ako cuz I’m not a current student anymore, and I’m already studying somewhere else.
Xorii napahaba yung post, I’m just curious hehe.Tyia sa mga sasagot!!
