Yep, I’m a bum. I am jobless [1], couch potato [2], shit [3] and many more [4].
But what the heck. For all I care, I am a UP bum.
Nothing is more flattering than being a UP bum. For once, you (still) belong to the best bums in the country. You are a bum not because you are less capable. You are a bum not because no company likes to hire you. You bum because it can be a choice.
For me, being a UP bum is an obligation. For five years, the Filipino people toiled hard to pay my professors to torture me relentlessly. The tax payers never failed to disburse a part of their hard-earned salary to keep me awake at night with my boring books and on day time, letting me experience the cruelty of some of the hardest exams in the country.
20 something, quarter-life crisis, loss of love, name it, nothing's weird.
