Know Both Sides of the Story

needed a reminder of ~happier~ and ~funner~ times in the midst of this stress, so here’s a throwback to the ideal state of being: flyaway hair, cool ocean breezes, and the sun . . also a timely photo bc it’s MBS Week next week, and this was taken during MBS Induction #ILoveMBS1 . .

(warning: kinda feelsy) the oblation - by far - is my favorite UP symbol. nothing else can quite capture the feeling of hardships, sacrifice, and triumphs one feels inside and outside the university, both on a personal level and a national one. nothing has inspired me as much as this has in a lot of things i’ve done and am doing currently doing in college. half a sem left. let’s get it.
