Welcome sa WVSU freshies! Can I give you some unsolicited advice that I hope someone had given me when I first entered college without any friends?

1. Be friends with, or at least polite to the guards. They will remember you. And then you can leverage this friendship in emergency like nalipatan mo imo ID lol

2. Mean energy is cringe. Wala ka sa movie. Be kind sa classmates. I was super friendly with a coop tindera once tapos gin gaan niya ko free coffee, legit.

3. If you don't know how to start a conversation: Compliment a classmate's shirt or bag, ask what/when the next class is(maskin bal-an mo man), or find shared interests like music, movies, anime, Pokémon, or coffee.

4. If there's a huge gap between classes, you will be tempted to leave campus and cut classes. Batu-i ang gahutik, don't do this. Show up to your classes. Most professors won't fail you as long as you keep showing up.

5. Find a good circle. They will be your support system. Sila ang ma remind kun may assignment or may quiz. Tapos kung wala kamo assignment and fail sa quiz, at least ululupod kamo lol.

Good day po. Gusto ko lang po itanong kung pwedeng magbigay ng food sa nurses or bawal po? Tapos kung pwede mag bigay, kinakain niyo po ba (binili takeout from restaurants, hindi nabuksan). Kase kung concern po kayo sa safety, cleanliness, etc. very understandable naman yun :) ayaw lang po namin masayang. Salamat po. God bless.

I used to join in on those jokes telling tourists to enjoy Iloilo but not move permanently, mostly because I thought we all knew it was a joke. Like, who are we to tell people where they can live, as if we own the land?

Now it’s just corny and tired because people are actually taking it seriously. It used to be funny, now it just makes us sound arrogant.
