Oh Hooray COLLEGE!


Three weeks of college life. Adjustment stage? Maybe, that’s what they call it.

University of the Philippines Cebu College
FUN
You meet new people with different personalities and perceptions in their lives. You have the nerdy ones who always bring with them their notes and read the lessons in different courses. The cool ones; who seem to be relaxed, even though there are school works. The wall flowers that sit quietly in class and take down notes. The attentive ones who stand out in class and voice out what they really want to say. And as college students, the “sparks” were never missing, friendship is an understatement.

You would also meet new professors who have different ways of conveying their lessons. The professors in college were different from those in high school especially because you can’t distinguish whether it’s a teacher or a student because nobody wears uniforms.Others also look like students.

RESTING PLACE ("tambayans")
One time my friends and I took sometime to rest in one of those huts in the resort.There were just three of us that time. When we were about to take a nap for our next class, a group of older students sat beside us. It was really awkward because they were very noisy and we felt so out of place, so we decided to move to the other hut which was unoccupied. But unfortunately the same thing happened.

We were left without a choice, so we went to the library and took a nap there. I miss the high school’s way of having a classroom where we could do anything we want during free time and talk about random stuff.

WEARY
The students need to transfer to different classrooms for different classes. Some need to cross the street and run as fast as they can for them to make it to their classes on time. Familiarize the classrooms if you don’t want to attend a different class which is quite embarrassing. You know what’s hard? It’s deciding whether your room is located in the right or left wing of the AS Building. Thank God, I have my friends who do the pointing for me.

MORE FOOD STALLS
The carenderias are so crowded every lunch time. Maybe, it’s because the high school doesn't have a canteen this time and the students are forced to play  the hunger games together with the college people.

UNIFORM
The students of UP Cebu don't have uniforms.We need to go to school with civilian outfits. Fortunately, on Wednesday, I’ll be wearing my NSTP in the morning and PE uniform in the afternoon. Yeheey, It’s one out of five school days.
