I miss studying in a private school

I studied in a private school from kinder until Grade 8, then had to transfer to a public school because of my family’s financial situation.

What I really miss is how easy it was to make friends back then. Ang dali makisama, as in genuine connections. Compared to when I transferred to public school, most of the people I met were… warfreaks 😅 this is based on my experience and I don't mean to stereotype.

I also miss the convenience private schools have---yung systems, facilities, and overall environment. Public schools could be like that too, pero kulang sa funds because of corruption. One thing I do appreciate though is the cheaper food. Makamasa, sulit, at masarap pa rin.

Now that I’m continuing university in a public/state university, I’m beyond grateful to study for free. Sobrang blessing siya. But I can’t help but miss being in a private school sometimes.
