TeN tHinGs I diD to gRadUaTe oN TiMe
As I lay my last step in our school, I’d like to imprint some thoughts for those I left behind. These are the ten things I did to graduate on time:
1. I set my mind. Why do it for five or six years if you can graduate in four years? So what if I’m working; that’s no reason to prolong the agony in school. The brain dictates what you want to do; the heart says what you have to feel.
2. I did strategize. Taking remedial law, tax review and commercial law at the same time is suicide! Splitting difficult subjects is not tantamount to splitting cause of actions under Section 3 and 4 of Rule 2. Although taking advance summer classes is tedious; yet, it produce a wonderful result.
3. Reiteration in studying does not aggravate the penalty in the class cards. Two to three hours of studying every night is easier than studying 15 hours straight the night before the exam. No need to cram as long as you don’t have cramps.☻
4. I manage my financials. No money? Sell your body! That is the last resort! (For people whose IQ is less the 60, this is a joke! ☺). Just remember that our mom’s and dad’s love us always and take advantage of the same.☺. Take note that this is the only loan that can be paid at the whims of the debtor! For sure, your mom will not send you any demand letters. “No demand, no delay”, so, you don’t have to worry on interests.
5. I cut some expenses. Its just simple accounting: credit, debit, cupit! I just read my cases and reviewers in my laptop. Downloading new cases in the net is free (as long as you have free internet from office); going to the library and photocopying copies of cases is expensive (which most probably you will never find the case if the date is 2005 above). The only book I bought in my entire four years is legal medicine and codals; I just borrowed books from generous people. At any rate, Rexto books are cheaper than those at Rex Bookstore... especially books annotating IPO.
6. I have my support group. Man cannot survive on bread alone. He has to make friends to cheer him up when he is down; lend some money when he’s broke; assist him when he has flat tire; give him free dinner and beer when he got flunking grades; and give leakage when he sits in difference section. Friends make my stay in school enjoyable. Enemies are free but I opt not to avail the offer. Class recitation is a normal humiliation at room but not if surrounded by adversarial classmates.
7. I fight for my right but I keep in mind my purpose. Four deans in four years; the hell I care. I’m here as student not the saviour of humankind. I have my cause of action and I cannot meddle on other’s causes of action. I cannot file a representative suit simply because I am not their representative. Any administration has the right to set their policies and I have the obligation to follow the guidelines; yet, I did not study law to follow grossly-erred rulings.
8. I became religious. I pray that everyday is the 15th or 30th day of the month. I pray that my mom give me more allowance. I pray the all cutie girls enroll in this school. I pray that my professor will give exams based on what I had learned. But God had always tests my faith by saying
”no” to these prayers. Haaay
9. I become hopeful yet accepting that everything is destiny… or not. Nothing is certain in law school, especially the grades. However, one thing is for sure, if you don’t study the lesson, say goodbye to passing grades. And if you did pass, say hello to pain of review classes in the fourth year. That happened to me and hopes that won’t happen to you. In addition, some people don’t believe on what you can do (especially those people who are supposed to believe in you), but at the end of the day, it is you that can tell on what are your capacities. Critics sometimes are the moving force toward hope; hope that I can do more than what they say and think about me.
10. I followed the Rinchel’s Doctrine: Don’t make your life complicated than it ought to be. I filed a petition for suspension of ABS-CBN (brevity for alak, babae, sugal, cabaret, bar at night clubs) with provisional remedy of preliminary injunction for four years against myself. This is the only action where the plaintiff and the defendant are the same person, yet, it is difficult to win the case! The ABS-CBN vices are more fatal than acute myocardial infaction or cerebral aneurysm in terms of academic health; kaya simpleng buhay muna ako.☺.
I had my fair share of the first step; but the next question is “Will I ever write the second article entitled: TeN ThinGs I diD to PaSs tHe BaR?!” I bid farewell to you guys but my heart will be left in our dearest alma matter.
