Hummin': Better Than I by Joy Williams
Aside from the London Bombings, and the current political struggle for power in the Philippines, there's a new trouble brewing around the Ateneo!
Symptoms:
It's aptly called the Senior's Syndrome.
When I first heard of Senior Syndrome as an Ateneo freshman, I never took it seriously, and thought that it was just a rare case among the upper classmen. But now that I'm in my final year of college, I'm beginning to see the developments of the so-called syndrome among acquaintances, classmates and (gasp) kabarkadas.
Out of the blue, everyone's looking for a significant other. Females fan their pheromones and males instantly go for the hunt. It's weird how people suddenly act as though it is a requirement to be part of a couple. Majority of our population joins into this frenzy and couples sprout up like mushrooms.
The only bad thing about this phenomenon is that I've heard that upon nearing graduation and the Senior's Syndrome wears off, there will be a lot of cases where couples break up without any reason except for "I've fallen out of love." And surely, there will be a flood of tears as these heartbroken individuals cry over the "love of their lives." (Must remember to bring a raincoat and boots.)
Tsk tsk tsk.
What's the big hurry, I say? Then again, I have to be wary for I heard that being in the company of those affected increases the risk of getting infected with this syndrome.
Oh Lord, please NO.
