Pressure: Possibly the bitchiest College block mate since Regina George

Being a college student was one of the best experiences in every human’s life. Imagine those ridiculously long break times, adjustable professors, easy subjects, etc. But when there’s a rainbow, there’s a storm…and this storm carries lots of thunders and heavy rains-particularly pressure, hectic schedules, terror professors, and so on and so forth.

College was piece of cake. Yeah, it is. But when your professor told you that you have to rush a 10-paged Script and you have to pass it TOMORROW, it’s like hell on earth-a total mind abomination. Your head was far too rammed up on your script’s intestines, you can probably see its tonsils (I know I’m being completely melodramatic about that, but that’s just me), and you begin to feel a terrible twinge inside your head, and you sometimes felt that you’re going to be hysterical and sometimes ballistic, not to mention that there are times that you’ll experience paroxysms of rage, if you can’t control the pressure that keeps on reproducing inside your head.

Never let pressure get inside your head. Never let them lay eggs and make babies. Instead, divert your attention into the light side. I know that it’s very hard and exhausting to divert, but it will really help you a lot.

First of all, you’ve got to think fast. I know, you’ll say that “Hey, I’m thinking all day, right? So can someone please remove the word “thinking” in my dictionary?” No, you’re not thinking at all. You’re experiencing the “mental block” syndrome. How to get rid of it? You’ve got to focus on one thing. Forget the deadline, forget the professors, and forget the detractors, just focus on the one thing that you’re doing. By doing that, brilliant ideas will come out like dandelion seeds floating in the sky. And you’ll say that “Wow, I CAN do it”, and it will make your work faster.

Last but not the least; believe that you can do it. Never ever think that your block mate is doing some five-star culinary masterpiece, because it will just boost your insecurity and will knock your confidence down. You’ve got to believe in yourself. You have to plant in your mind that your biggest fan is always yourself. I did not say that you should get over confident and just bring out whatever, but I want you to believe that you’re brilliant in some ways; there’s an idea inside you that can be ten-times better than others. So don’t let anxiety eat your brains out. Learn to share your thoughts. If you failed, at least you tried.

Short story I just made (pls. read)

Lisa and Bryan was best friends during their high school days. Both of them are really popular back then because of their undeniably good looks and their extraordinary talents: Lisa was a fantastic violinist and Bryan was a great basketball player.

After their graduation, Lisa and Bryan parted ways. In the first few months of their college life, they manage to call each other and exchange some new and interesting things about themselves. But as time goes by, and both of them became busy, their connection started to loose.

Her memories with Bryan (and Bryan himself) slowly fades into black and white, as she graduated from college. She is now a lawyer. Her passion for violin slowly replaced with her passion for laws, crimes and defending the truth. Lisa is a whole new different person now. She quickly gained acknowledgment and reputation because of her knowledge, and she became one of the most respected women in the country. She is also hosting a public service program which boosted her popularity.

Lisa is now matured, focused, and busy as hell. She's just too busy to think of her other friends, her high school life, her best friend. Now, she thought that high school is just one of her stupid childish memories, so all of those sad and happy memories are just so vague to remember. Last week, she found out that her elementary school was burned due to an accident, but she was very apathetic about it...like it was just a piece of junk thrown into the dumpster.

One night, Lisa decided to check her e-mail. She saw numerous e-mails from different acquaintances and clients. Some are good, some are bad. Some are her "fans" thanking and admiring her because of her strong character and kindness. One mail caught her attention. It came from a guy named bestman1911. She curiously opened it.

the mail said..

"Dear Ms. Lisa Ramos,

Greetings! I'm one of your biggest fans. I may sound nothing to you but I've always known you ever since you're still an ordinary person. When I'm watching your television show, your smile at the end bothers me. It was not the genuine smile of yours. The smile that was painted on your beautiful face wasn't a smile of true happiness. Now, Lisa, I wanted to see you wearing that genuine and subtle smile again.

Lisa wrinkled her forehead and gathers her thoughts. The nick name was very familiar to her, but it's too unclear...too blurry. The image that was slowly forming to her head was amorphous. She wasn't sure who was it, but it looks like a guy. An ambiguous, silhouette-like face appeared. It's getting clearer and clearer as she cites all of her past memories.

The guy was tall, about 6'1. He is wearing a varsity jacket-a high school varsity jacket, not to mention HER high school. He have a fair, white skin, well grown hair, thick and curved eye brows, brown eyes and small reddish lips. Finally, the image was clear.

It was her best friend...the guy who loves the numbers 19 and 11 because he accumulated 19 points on their eleventh game during high school. He's the guy who always begins his letters and speeches with the word "Greetings", and he's the guy who always noticing her smile. The guy was Bryan.

Lisa immediately responds to the letter. She was very excited because she haven't seen him in a long time. As she lies on her bed, she thinks about her past memories with Bryan. She asked herself a couple of questions: how does he look like now? what happened to him? something like those.

The next day, lunch time, Lisa excitedly goes to their meeting place. Her stomach felt curling-she was really tensed and aflame at the same time. She parked the car in front of the restaurant and grabs her blue shoulder bag and put it on her left shoulder.

As she enter inside the restaurant, she quickly finds a guy who was wearing a red bonnet (because that's what Bryan told her...he was wearing a red bonnet), and he finds one, sitting beside the big window on the left side. She slowly walks toward him, examining his face. Then, Bryan faced her and smiles. Lisa was so shocked on what she saw. As she goes nearer and nearer towards Bryan, she realized that Bryan changed a lot. At the age of 26, Bryan looks horrid. He was very skinny, losing his hair, and looks like an old man. He was wearing a jacket and drinking coffee that time.

"Hi...Bryan?" she said, still looking on Bryan's face.

"Lisa. I've been dying to see you again. Sit down" Bryan said. Lisa clasped her hands after she sit on the couch. She bite her lower lip and examines Bryan's face. Even though he was smiling, Bryan's eyes looked blank. His face was filled with freckles and there are some scars on his neck. She also noticed a wart-like thing on his chest. No, it was a lesion.

"Hey, Lis, why are you so quiet?" Bryan said. Lisa puts a little smile and said

"No. I'm just...surprised. Wow, you've changed a lot Bry. I missed you so much" Lisa looked down, because she was a bit upset. Bryan noticed it and said

"I know what you're thinking"

"What?" Lisa said after she turned her sight on Bryan's face. Bryan looked serious and sad at the same time.

"Don't feel sorry for me"

"What happened to you?" Lisa asked. Bryan clasped his hands and took a deep breath.

"I didn't finish my college studies. When I stopped, I started to hustle on the streets. Maybe one of my costumers have one, so yeah, I got it. It's been 5 years since I've found out" he explained. Lisa was so shocked. She was appalled on Bryan's situation. She wanted to cry but Bryan knows that she's a strong person. Besides, she needs to play the strong character in order to inspire Bryan.

"I'm so sorry, Bry. You're my best friend yet I'm not there when you're in pain...when you're suffering from this terrible distress. I'm very, very sorry" Lisa said.

"You don't need to say sorry. I'm so happy for you. You've already reached your dreams, and I'm glad that you still remembered me" Bryan replied while smiling. Lisa's eyes turned watery, making it sparkling because of the sun light.

"I've always forgotten how beautiful you are, and I'm happy to see you again" Bryan continued. Lisa grab Bryan's right hand and hold it tightly, as if she's not letting him go. Lisa and Bryan exchanged addresses because they promised that they will see each other more often.

Few weeks later, Lisa's doorbell rang. It was a delivery guy and she got a huge package.

On her room, she opened the box. It was from Bryan's family. It contained some of Bryan's things such as his jersey, his varsity jacket, a picture of him and her, Bryan's wristband, and some of other stuffs. She then saw a letter inside a pink envelope attached outside the box. She opened it and read it...

"Lisa,

I give you all of Bryan's most memorable and valued stuffs. Just in case you don't know, Bryan died a week ago because of AIDS. He wanted these things to be sent to you.

Thanks,
Marie, Bryan's mom"

Lisa felt choked. She felt something heavy hit her heart. She felt a bullet got stocked inside her eyes that it made her shed tears. The letter flies as she accidentally throw it down. She begins to cry hard, because of the despair she felt. She hugged Bryan's jacket that she worn a long time ago while they are waiting for a bus to ride.

She feels that she have made a big mistake on not seeing Bryan for a long time. She felt that she lost the biggest lawsuit of her life.
