Green-minded?

July 18, 2008

I’m reading more about DLSU, their College of Business and Economics. The solidity of their curriculum and well-roundedness is inspiring and exciting. No one can deny that DLSU is the school for business, in the same vein that Ateneo is the school for law and UST is the school for medicine. (UP? Well, it’s the school. @___@)

If I were to be accepted into DLSU, I’d love to double degree in Economics and Advertising/Business/Legal Management. A single degree in Applied Economics would make me very happy as well. Either way, I am satisfied with my choices and confident in the thoroughness of my (future) education.

I really don’t know what I’m talking about, actually.

I want to go to La Salle. I also want to go to Ateneo. I also want to go to UP. I want to go everywhere.

I want to go to college. o_______o

EDIT: I just noticed that the titles of my last four entries began with the letter D. o_______o


First Post: Reflections on the Admissions Forum

July 16, 2008

Our batch skipped a portion of lunch and the rest of our afternoon classes for a forum on college admissions. Representatives Enderun, DLSU, CSB, UST, UA&P and, of course, the Ateneo, came and sold their respective universities to us by presenting the different programs and courses that they offer prospective freshmen such as ourselves.

Their arguments were solid, and presented on such dazzling platforms.With the free merch going around, it was hard not to smile.

Quoting UA&P’s recruitment video: It’s not about courses, it’s about choices. I’ve made a lot of bad decisions in the past, and while I believe that these have been great learning experiences, they do not go without repercussions. Though I’ve ripened into high school maturity, my past faults are coming back to haunt me and will definitely weigh in on this turning point of a choice: College. Choosing the right college is as important as choosing the right course. This is something I’m not taking lightly. Perhaps I’m being serious to a laughable fault, my anxiety leading me to create a WordPress account, a blog separate from my Livejournal and Multiply. But this is the last leg of this race called high school, and I can’t trip on any hurdles now. I don’t think I can afford to even have hurdles at all.

But we’ll see, we’ll see. This is, after all, only the first post. My name is… well.
