Student Blog: Malou Lawag, Transfer Student from Philippines

Hello friends!

     Yes, it is I, after a very long sabbatical from writing, back to report to  you about my life.

     So wow, a lot has happened, but rather than bore you with a drawn-out narrative of the stressful end to my second year (papers, papers, papers, Finals, Finals, Finals, PACK UP, MOVE OUT, OMG STORAGE IS CLOSING IN 30 MIN! AHHHHHHHHHH), I will share with you a few vignettes from my summer so far. I have had some incredible experiences​– some
big and some small and meaningful.​ But they foreshadow what I hope to be an amazing summer ! Before I launch into it, I'd just like to say that finishing my first year has been a strange experience — I'M HALFWAY THROUGH ! What is this supposed to mean? Do I even know what I want to do in life? Am I ready to graduate in another one year? Did I do enough with the one I just had?

Since coming to Panha Chiet, a lot of me have felt sort of lost. A big question I've been asking myself has been, " Do I know who I am if I don't have a defining activity that I'm passionate about? " So far I've been all over the place in my extracurricular involvement and up until now, no one thing had taken me captive.
