Reality Check!

I swear!!! I can’t stop crying. Tears kept on streaming down my face while viewing the tribute prepared by the other Statsocers. It was actually Mommy Arlene’s fault. She was sitting beside me, staring at my monitor as well, when pictures of the year that was went flying in and out. Then, she said, “Mamimiss mo yan. Iba na pag work, wala ka ng magiging friends. Meron man, paisa-isa na lang.” Huuuuwaaaaatttt???!!!!

My gas! I don’t want to work then. I am sure gonna miss StatSoc because serving as a BOD was truly enjoyable because of the warmth and affection I felt from the people around me.

I remember the scene early this afternoon, right after the induction of the new sets of UP StatSoc Board of Directors. I started jumping up and down as I realized that I am technically lifted from my responsibilities as a FinCom Chair. I screamed, “Mem na uli ako.” But then someone, retorted, “hindi ka kaya mem!.” And true enough, reality check. It will bever be the same. I may visit them, I may be a part or still witness some of their activities but I just won't be the same. I won't see them daily. I won't witness their growth. I won't be acquainted to all mems and will not get a chance to know the applicants at all. Because reality check, I am no longer a mem but an Alumna.
