25 Things I Learned in College

1. If you want to date one of your bloc mates, think twice before you even make a move.

2. Marriage and the Family is the most depressing subject in the universe.

3. Land Reform and Taxation is second.

4. Don’t argue with people who are a lot older than you. It’s not that you might be wrong, just don’t. Save your energy for something more productive.

5. For some people, the number achievement that you put in resumé is inversely proportional to the number of character references.

6. Talent is an advantage in the student council elections. I repeat—talent.

7. If ever you’re dating your thesis partner, never, under any circumstances, break up with him or her in the middle of the school year. Trust me on this one.

8. Some professors will appreciate it if you recite and get good grades in your quizzes; others prefer a cake from Red Ribbon.

9. The blogosphere is not a safe place to pour in your rantings.

10. What is wrong with the world? Nobody wants to find solutions.

11. Join as much organizations as you want during your freshman and sophomore years. Enjoy your free time while you still have them.

12. If you have something to say about the faculty or the administration don’t post it on the freedom board. Instead, write it on your desk. A lot of people would read it, and it will not hinder you from getting a diploma.

13. Avoid that fire extinguisher inside the AB organization room.

14. If you think that your professor is gay, don’t tell anyone until you’re sure. You might be wrong.

15. When you cheat on an exam, do it with finesse.

16. Live a clean and healthy lifestyle. Sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll is overrated.

17. Sad reality: “Talo ng masipag ang magaling.”

18. Tuition increase is an inevitable phenomenon in the universe.

19. Community service feels good, if you’re normal.

20. A good grasp of algebra might save your life someday.

21. If you’re friends with the campus guards, you’re already untouchable.

22. It pays to bring an umbrella everyday.

23. Take a personality test in the guidance office at least one. You will really appreciate it.

24. What is a bad girlfriend? It is anything that occupies personal space and has weight.

25. You only have four years to actually contribute to society as a part of the academe (unless, of course, you peruse graduate studies or you decide to teach). Do what you can while you still have time to do it.

2. Marriage and the Family is the most depressing subject in the universe. <--The professor is depressing too! But I'm not sure if she's the most depressing one out there. Maybe not.
