LAURIO, JILLIANE C. I 12-ABC-01

 LIFE UPDATE- This time, it was the opening of our school’s intramurals, and one of my classmates joined the ballroom dancing competition. Since he was going through some financial difficulties, I volunteered to help him with his makeup—and it turned out to be so much fun! My friend Argylyka even joked that we should start our own makeup artist business someday. After all the preparations, we watched the exciting intrams opening, followed by the bench yell, the pageant, and finally, the ballroom competition. We were all thrilled when my classmate won first place! It was such a proud and fulfilling moment, knowing that all our efforts truly paid off.

 DAPAT TOTOO MASTERCLASS- This was the most important day of my 2025 because the GMA Dapat Totoo Masterclass visited our university! It was an unforgettable experience where we learned about the importance of voting in the Philippines and how serious and impactful our political choices are. The session emphasized that politics is not a joke it affects our daily lives and future, so we must take it seriously. I also had the incredible opportunity to meet many respected journalists and even some well-known artists. It was such a happy and inspiring day, filled with learning, motivation, and the reminder that being an informed and responsible citizen truly matters.

 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 2025- On our second class meeting, I woke up early and arrived ahead of time, which gave me the chance to reunite with my friends who had recently transferred to another course—it felt like a mini reunion in class. One of the highlights of the day was meeting the adorable cats at the Arzadon Gym; it’s heartwarming how they’re allowed to roam freely, adding a cozy and welcoming vibe to the campus. It was also our first time riding the school bus since it was launched last December. The fact that it’s free is such a big help, especially for students facing financial challenges. Overall, it was a fulfilling and meaningful day.
