Good everyone. Last Friday, we took our graduation photos together with my classmates. It’s such a nice move that I was assured I will graduate on time since they included me in the list. Actually, I almost didn’t make it due to our internship and just passed it at the last deadline. Unfortunately, I couldn’t assure it yet as I still have an unresolved INC on my portal. I’m so tired of thinking about the grades that don’t reflect me, so it’s no longer my problem. Yes, I’m still upset with the system and my Dean’s lack of apathy and consideration. However, it doesn’t stop me from pushing my own potential.
I arrived at school before 3 p.m. and saw a lot of my classmates on the second floor. Fortunately, I don’t need to return to school as I already completed my clearance. When I arrived, I hadn’t worn my uniform yet since it was too hot. You know, I need to travel for 30 minutes on a jeep, and our city is one of the hottest here in the Philippines. Before wearing my uniform, I withdrew money for the additional fees and proceeded to the com lab.

The picture taking went smoothly. I wrote my name first along with my section and number on the attendance. I also signed the attendance, and it feels satisfying that I would finally leave the school. Personally, I’m not fulfilled with my experience in the university as I failed to complete my biggest aim. As I said, I should not mind it much since they’re negligent. To kill my frustration, I just thought of something else and proceeded to take photos.

After that, I proceeded to take my graduation photos wearing a toga. Looking good in the picture is the reason why I committed to being on a calorie deficit. And fortunately, it was slightly worth it and didn’t disappoint me much. As long as I have the control, I can succeed in whatever I want to have. Aside from looking better, I didn’t have active pimples at that time and looked fresh. I also looked good on some angles.
After taking the photo, I purchased a frame of my graduation photo with a soft copy. I thought about it for about an hour before making that bold decision. As they said, delivering it was not instant as it could take 2–3 weeks or until graduation. I ordered it for Php 500.00, and I hope it was worth it. Personally, I don’t need the frame, but I want to have the soft copy.

I also added Php 100.00 for the extra shot since I love to see how I look while holding the graduation cap. That’s why I didn’t hesitate to include it in the extra fees. I hope my Php 600.00 would be worth it.
