School pride

Ironically, I only came to enjoy them now that I'm an alumna. For the past 4 years, I knew that they had been bagging (& bragging) about being champions of the UAAP Cheerdance Competition, besting other universities, being consistent with their flawless moves, awesome stunts, breathtaking flips & tosses, amazing mix of songs.

As I have been busily browsing thorugh different forums, reading other people's viewpoints/comments/reactions about their performance this year (even sarcastic ones coming from the students of their rival university), it was the best. Going at youtube, it had the most number of views, "favorited" and commented (both good & not-so-good ones, coming from students of that other university - sigh. why can't they good sports? such a shame!)

Admittedly, I can't help but watch their routine over & over again, hear their music, chant with the audience even if the competition had been long done. I don't know why this spirit of school pride just came now, after I had bid farewell to my alma mater last April 29, 2006 (our day of graduation). I can't help feel regret that I did not enjoy what was there when I was still a student, nor I was able to watch any of their routines when I was still part of it.

Even if I got my degree in Medicine last April, I know that the Thomasian in me will be here to stay.

Go USTe!
