Hey Freshies!

Welcome to UPLB! :D Kung hindi ako nagkakamali ay simula na ulit ng registration at Pre-College Orientation di ba? :)) Sana ay maenjoy niyo ang unibersidad na papasukan niyo! :D

I-enjoy lang ang college. It should be fun! HAHAHA. :D There is always this notion ata na “pag UP mahirap, so ayun, okay na ang makapasa..”  pero please do not box yourself in that mindset kasi it will always be better to always aim high, and always target the highest grade possible. :D 

Huwag mahiya sa kung saan ka galing, anong meron ka, at ano ang wala ka.. Isipin laging meron kang magagawa sa bawat pagsubok na kakaharapin.. Huwag matakot, at laging isipin na napunta ka sa loob ng unibersidad na ito dahil may mga naniniwalang kaya mo.

Andami kong sinabi..

UPLB Students! :D

Okay. Simula ulit ng sem, galingan niyo. :D

Huwag isiping mahirap, isipin niyo ay kaya niyo (- pero wag lang puro isip, samahan ‘yan ng aksiyooon!)

Know your priorities. Dapat alam niyo ang goal niyo kung bakit kayo nag-aaral dito.

Mag-notes. Mag-aral. Magtanong, Makipagkaibigan. Maging Honorable at Excellent!

Kaya niyo ‘yan!

I-goal ang UNO..

Don’t give up and do not be the limit of what you can do.

Alam niyo na lahat ito.

Inuulit ko lang.

Galingan niyo!

Anyway highway, mas malaki pa din si God kaysa sa mga pamahiing ito. :D He has plans to prosper us always, and it won’t matter if a lot of hindrances come our way. If it is His will, it is his Bill, and it will always prevail! :D :D C’mon!

Tips for UPLB Freshies.. Ayee! :D

  • Dapat ay meron kang envelope (kung gusto mong maging organized) during start ng klase kasi kadalasan puro course outline at mga classroom policies ang ibibigay sa inyo ng teachers. Mas okay na nakasinop ito para maupdate mo ang sarili mo sa mga upcoming exams, kung anong topic na kayo, at para malaman mo kung ano ang mga sinasabi ng teachers na ayaw nila at gusto.
  • Mag-notebook! Ayy, promise! Hindi ka mabubuhay sa loose sheets at mga paphotocopy ng notes sa katabi. Mas mabuti pa din na meron kang notes. :D Pero minsan kasi may mga handouts naman, pero hindi din gaano kahelpful iyon. Pag may handouts, kunin na in advance para makapag-annotate ka ng notes sa particular na handout! :D
  • Kapag sinabing may reading na ganito, at ganyan, kunin na agad at basahin! :D Mabuti nang hindi ka masurprise a meeting before na ang readings niyo pala ay half-inch thick! :D
  • Kapag sinabing basahin ang reading assignments, basahin! Huwag hayaang magstack-up ito kasi hindi mo iyan macacram pag malapit na ang exam! Ay nako, based na ito sa experience ko! HAHAHA. :))
  • Usisahin ang consultation hours ng teacher kung hindi nito sinabi. Kapag sinabi naman niya, itakedown note mo na sa harap ng notebook mo nung subject na iyon. Importante iyan! Kung tingin mo ang tali-talino mo na at hindi mo na kailangang magconsult, IMPORTANTE PA DIN ‘YUN! Naku, iba lang kasi na alam mo ang CH ng teachers mo kasi minsan hindi lahat ng bagay ay naaalala mo! At kung may gusto kang iclarify, magagawa mo!
  • Gain friends from other sections of the same subject. Ikaw na bahalang magdiscover kung para saan ‘yan! HAHAHA. :)) Pero personally, helpful sa akin ang may friends from different sections na iba ang teacher, pero pareho ang subject matter. :D Ibang tulong talaga ‘yun. PROMISE
  • GAIN FRIENDS! :D Ayown! Iba pa din ang may kasama ka! :D Hehehe. Pero choose your friends as well. Never let your priorities be compromised with the people you choose to be your friends. :D In the end, hindi sa kanila ang repercussions ng mga bagay bagay kung hindi mo nameet ang priorities mo. :D 
  • Maging active sa class at laging pumasok! Hindi mo lang alam kung ano minsan ang mga nakukuha ng complete ang attendance. I mean, hindi lang ‘yung lessons, at quizzes pero may mga bonus din kasi minsan. :D
  • Huwag mahiyang magtanong! C’mon! Mas okay nang iaccept mo na hindi mo naintindihan kaysa magyabang ka tapos wala ka naman palang maisasagot sa exam.
  • Always read beyond what was discussed. Para sa akin, helpful ‘to. Kahit na mediyo maeffort, nakakatulong ito para mas maintindihan mo pa ‘yung lesson, at mas maenhance mo pa ‘yung grasp mo sa concepts. Puwedeng internet, or yung reference books na sinabi dun sa Course Outline na ibibigay.
  • For lab classes, never attend your lab class without reading first the prelab discussion on your manual. Aside from the fact na may quiz, mas organized na ang thoughts mo about the methodology nung exercise kaya hindi ka na malolost.
  • Always PRAY and continue FIGHTING FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIP with GOD.I say that this is an advice that is very personal and dictates a specific line of thinking. This is the biggest thing that had helped me through college. Knowing that God will give me wisdom if I asked Him and I can do all things through Him. ;D

You may disagree with the things I said but I believe that everything posted here will help you on your college life. :D To the freshies, enjoy life in UPLB! :D Do not think about the negative things, always tell yourself that you can do it! :D Our thinking affects our behavior! Do not be the limit of what you can do in the university! Aim for that goal and achieve it! :D

Welcome mga isko at iska! :))  

Part lang dati nang mga pangarap nating magkakaibigan ang makapagtapos sa unibersidad ng may latin honors, at mabigyan natin ng upuan ang ating magulang sa graduation.

We aimed for UNO. We cried for grades below 2.00. We panicked over almost failing/failing exams. We read our readings wholeheartedly, made everything that we can do.

Never slept for exams and papers that are needed to be passed. 

We were GCs. Stereotyped as people with no social life. But hey, we reached that dream. We graduated with honors. :D

Go BS Biology ‘08! :D I am honored to have walked this academic life with you.
