FORDA TIPS

By Jaiben Lloyd A. Alabado

Wazzup, mga Ga! It’s your cool boi Indzong. Finally, after more than two years, back to campus na tayo! Siyempre madaming changes ang naganap, so does the ferson na magbigay ng tips ngayon. Unfortunately, your iconique Indzai has already migrated to Japan for good. But I’ll assure you na I can deliver well in giving you tips on becoming a good student by practicing these basic etiquettes that every responsible UMyongs and MINyangs must remember.

As I had observed, majority ng mga students ngayon ay never pang nakapag-experience ng face-to-face setting ng university due to

COVID-19. There’s a lot of adjustments to do, especially na hindi pa natin alam masyado ang dos and don’ts ng ating unibersidad. Forda tip number 1, you may read the student handbook which you can find by opening your UM Portal. Click “Academic Services” and you will be redirected to a new tab. Find the “Downloads” section and click the Student Handbook to download. Basahin ng mabuti and try to internalize all the contents in the handbook. Mahirap na, baka bigla ka nalang ipapatawag sa OSA because you violated something na hindi mo alam that it is bawal. Remember, ignorance of the law excuses no one, so check your Student

Handbook now bruh. Sheeesh!

Our university caters a lot of students to the point na ang pila to enter the university grounds will reach up until overpass! Crowded pa rin ang UM even if blended learning lang po tayo, opo. Forda tip number 2, be sensible with your belongings and your surroundings. We often take for granted when the manong guards say “walay mangunguot pag walay magpakuot” at the entrance gate, but it is actually true! Be vigilant and always stay alert kasi forda safety ng ferson din naman yarn. I understand that naudyok yung friendship moments natin because of the online setting, and now we are ecstatic to meet them in the flesh. But please, don’t flock the pathway and make a slow walk with more chika because may ibang students na nagmamadali then they are interrupted because nakaharang kayo sa daan. Forda tip number 3: Don’t make tapok and always keep right to give way sa mga nagmamadaling students. Forda kusion jud tamo sa inguinal canal if I caught you stampeding the way! Lastly, I heard complaints from here and there na forda damak ang students this academic year because ang mga fersons ay ginaleft lang nila ang kanilang pinagkainan anywhere! It is very alarming and hindi yan pwede dito sa UM, mga fersons.

Forda tip number 4: always practice CLAYGO. I understand na gutom ang all after quizzes and exams but please ugaliin nating linisin ang ating pinagkainan wherever we go because cleanliness is next to godliness, and trash bins are installed everywhere on the campus for this particular reason.

I think that’s all muna for today’s blog. I hope that with these tips, you can practice good manners and right conduct. College is a training ground for the real world, and it is our responsibility to become a person inculcated with values. As my professor in GE 8 said, “attitude places distance.” Do well in your acads and see you when I see you. Amping,

mga Ga!
