      A message for Anne

      It’s your first day in college. I know that there’s a lot going on and you’re probably still in shock that you got accepted in your dream school and dream course. Things will change and you should be ready for a roller coaster ride. After leaving your home, you’ll have no one by your side so you have to overcome your fears and start a new journey.

      As someone from the present, I know how rough things will be in the next few months. I wish you did things better and kept more positive thoughts than loud judgments.

      I hope you will have trust in yourself. Have trust in your skills and in your potential. Remember all the things that you achieved, the footsteps you took and that words you have spoken. All these things made who you are today.

      I hope you’ll stay curious. Go on adventures. Explore. Pick up lessons and turn them as inspirations to do better and to inspire others also. As a Devcom student, being curious would help you in your academics and future endeavors.

      Be patient and trust the process of growing up. We all live in different paces, so try not to compare yourself with others. Take your time to learn and to live. Breathe.

      Always try to improve in every aspect. Although it may seem impossible to become the best all the time, just try. If you can’t seem to keep up with others, it’s fine. You don’t have to keep up always. Think about your growth as a person.

      Lastly, please don’t be too harsh on yourself. Block out the negative comments about how you look, how much you weigh, how high or low your grades are, or whatever comment there is. Again, always think on how to improve. Try to love yourself as much as you love your family, fangirling or doing makeup. Eventually, everything will be fine as long as you hold on to the things that you have and always seek for happiness.

      The Media Writer I am

      In the beginning of the semester, we rated ourselves as media writers. Back then I couldn’t even call myself as such. Now, although I know I still have a long way to go, I like to believe I’ve grown into a media writer with potential at least.

      I’ve certainly improved my resourcefulness thanks to the many opportunities that came with being a DevCom student, such as going to various events and places around the university and Los Baños, and meeting all sorts of people for interviews and data gathering.

      As a DevCom student, we don’t have much time to be shy. So I’ve stepped out of my box considerably since the beginning of the semester.

      I like to think I’ve become more resilient now too. I still self-sabotage like it’s a competition and I’m out for the gold, but I don’t give up on myself as easily now. Testament by the bags beneath my eyes, who have only become more prominent as the days came and went.

      And thanks to the many seminars and classes available in the university, I’ve learned a great deal about validating information. The how’s, and the why’s. I’ve developed this skill especially during our news writing assignments during lab.
