5 Tips For Freshmen From A Senior In University

September is here and guess what that means? A new school year! For some of you, that might mean transitioning from high school into college or university. I remember my first year of university. I went through a roller coaster of emotions from happy to bitter, to excited to lonely. That, however, is a story for another blog post. Let’s get right to it. Here are 5 tips for my fellow freshmen from…

Back To School-Advice to University Frosh

Starting university is pretty daunting, especially the first year. You have this to do list that stretches on for ages, you’ll be meeting a lot of new people, adjusting to a new place, and having to get back to studying.

4 Very Underrated Frosh Essentials

So you’ve been accepted to the school of your dreams and are ready to start thinking about move-in day. The overachiever in all of us wants to start planning for the first day of classes, but September’s a ways away, and you still have the rest of senior year and summer to enjoy. In that time, I want to pass on some knowledge to you–things I wished I knew when shopping for my first year. We all…

I don't know if I'm the right person to make this post and actually tell you incoming froshies what to do or give you tips or whatever. But since I'm (still) a frosh, I think I'm somehow qualified to give you people a number of tips. But yeah, whatever... 

Okay, so tips? Here we go.

It's okay to repeat clothes or outfits. I repeat, it's okay to repeat clothes and/or outfits. 

I don't get why this is the first and foremost concern of some froshies. (including me before lol) I mean, come on... You won't go to school naman every day just to dress up and make La Salle your runway or something. It's perfectly fine to repeat clothes weekly or every other day if that's how you want to roll eh. Just make sure na naligo ka and you won't wear the same set of underwear from yesterday. Your outfits won't and don't really matter, ibabagsak pa rin naman kayo ng mga prof niyo eh. J O K E

MAGSIPAG sa pag-aaral, hindi magsipag-landian.

Remember, mahal ang tuition sa La Salle. Wag niyo sayangin money ng parents niyo.

Sleep, sleep and sleep while you still can.

In college, the story goes like "Sleep? What's that?" So this summer, (which is something we don't have in La Salle, lol) might as well sleep your asses off because you won't be getting enough of those once the term starts. Sleepless nights may come along as early as the first term, depending on how you are as a student.

These are some tips I came across on the internet, and what some of my cousins told me (most of them are ID 110, 109 and 108; yes, di pa sila graduate lol)

"If you're a smoker, you know Agno is the place to be - together with other fellow smokers."

"Witness couples in action, Henry Sy 10th floor."

"When nature calls, Yuchengco 3rd floor is your salvation."

"Thou shall not get caught (cheating)"

"'Wag pa conyo. Nakaka-bwisit. Sobra."

Kitakits mga frosh ♥ Nasa school ako bukas :) Sana makita niyo ako. Makikita niyo ako pagala gala sa school. Bukas na yung tour niyo sa campus.

Wag kalimutan magdala ng tubig at payong dahil mahaba-habang lakaran ang gagawin niyo bukas.

Wag na kayo mag powder, dahil kahit anong gawin niyo, haggard ang labas niyo bukas after ng tour.

Wag din kalimutan magdala ng extra shirt kung pawisin kayo.

Maging friendly at umpisahan niyo nang hagilapin yung mga classmate niyo. 

Wag maging choosy sa kaibigan sa campus tour, mabobored lang kayo kung wala kayong kausap buong tour.

Maagang mag-sign sa mga Orgs. Boring ang college life pag wala kayong org sa La Salle. Wala nang hiya-hiya.

Pumunta kayo ng mas maaga sa kung anong schedule niyo. air-conditioned ang ULS (DLSUD Gym) kaya dun na lang kayo tumambay.

Sumama kayo sa tour at tapusin niyo. Mas magandang alam mo ang pasikot sikot sa campus para okay ka na kung sakaling mag-isa ka na lang naglalakad sa campus.
