“A day in the life of a college student”

               

       

The college schedule is very different than the traditional high school student. Typically, there is a lot more flexibility with your college classes. The other cool thing about the college schedule is that you usually have more opportunities to explore your interest and passions. In college think about your schedule as a pyramid. Another big difference you should be aware of is the time structure. Right now, our probably schedule in school is from about 7:30 am-5:00pm, Monday to Friday.

       

I'm a college student of Tarlac College of Agriculture taking of Certificate in Office Management. When I was in first year college I felt afraid because I have met again a plenty of people, new classmates and professors. Before I studied at TCA it was so many processes, like submitting all the requirements and taking entrance exam, picture taking of your I.D, etc.

        It’s so difficult to adjust to all my subjects because it is so different compared to my high school schedules. When the first day of first semester had started I’m so excited to go to school. Why? Because this is the day that I have learned again so many lesson. Almost all of my subjects in the first semester are so difficult, but even though I had enjoyed it specially the shorthand and keyboarding.

I met greater variety of people in a single classroom. I met Carla Joy Gutierrez, Marie Joy Odon, Rima Caballero, and Mark Romer Lico, Mary grace Ferrer, Jennifer Pascual, Mary Ann Amoroso, Myra Burbos, Maureen Joyce Joven, and Joana. I have met them and became my friends.

My challenging moment is when I was in first year I joined in ROTC. I joined there because they said that ROTC was so enjoyable than CWTS.  And yah! They are right, but I have many difficulties in that subject. You want to know why? Even the weather was so hot or rainy our training is still going on. I belong to the Bravo Company (first platoon) I learned and experience how to hold the riffle, how to command in the company how to march properly and how to be a good officer. It is so difficult but I enjoyed it. Because in all of our sacrifices at the end we are declared the winner in the of 2011-2012.

I experience also to join in socialization night. I felt so happy on that night because we danced all the time.  I experienced also watching a talented person in our intramurals. They played volleyball, basketball, badminton, sepak takraw, archery, swimming and chess.

I joined in mass dance and quiz bee in engineering week. I witnessed the beautiful and handsome faces of the Mr. and Ms. and also their talents. After our second semester we have a summer class in one month. And now I’m a second year student.

      

  However, college is like high school in that you will the opportunity to get involved by joining different clubs, organizations, and maybe even by getting a part-time job.

The college schedule can seems   crazy at times. Doing homework until midnight is not exceptionally glamorous or easy, but I love what I do and all that I learned. The best and worst part of college is the flexibility it offers. You are able to. Choose everything: your classes, extracurricular activities, friends, etc. A great deal of responsibility and time management is needed, but with a bit of planning you can be very successful. Surviving college takes hard work! However, at the end of all this, you will have your degree, and no one can take that away from you. How cool is that?:)
