Accepted

Has anyone seen that movie? Fuckin’ amazing shit. It’s ’bout these four (or three?) high school graduates with nowhere to go. No college would accept them, so they made their own imaginary college. Setting up a fake website with only the intent to fool their parents, their plan backfires and soon they get a fuckload of high school underacheivers joining in. Soon the college turns into a reality, with subjects such as skating and grafitti.

(South Harmon Institute of Technology- S.H.I.T) Always wanted to join a school like that xD

Well, the reason why I wrote about the movie was because of my college. It was the day of when I had to get my results. So I woke up in the morning, shaking and frothing from my mouth, on the idea that I might never be accepted (cause if you fail once, you can’t come back again). I put on a pair of shorts and a black T-shirt -as usual- and went downstairs. I saw the same troubled look in my mother’s eyes as she watched TV, ‘Mommy, it’s gonna be fine.’

‘What’re you talking about?’ I looked at the TV and saw a couple. The lady was crying while the man screamed.

‘Thanks for the support…’ I muttered.

Hopping into the van, we drove into the roads of uncertainty. My uncle took control of the van while my mom slept in the front. Back in the last seat I was a nervous wreck. Rivulets of sweat ran down my temples while my spine ached. ‘Oh God, oh God, oh God…’ my mind raced with attempts at seeing alternative ways to cope with failure. University of Santo Tomas? That’s always a good option. What if I fail that? Questions swam in my mind like crazy!

The van pulled up the entrance of the Br. Andrew Gonazales Hall. This was it. No backing down. Besides, they’ll call and say my results if I don’t get it. So it’s better if I get it here. The electronic doors slid open and I went past the security. This was it.

The afternoon droned on, the AC whirred as I changed my clothes into my boxers… I crawled and slumped upon my bed, content. My mind filled itself with visions of higher education. I got accepted.
