Submitted by Jay Pineda on Fri, 2012-05-18 01:44

I previously blogged about being almost finished on my internship, I am actually very happy that I am almost done with this internship, but I am also feeling a little sad because I will also miss LivingSocial Philippines' Marketing Team. They are very easy to get along with, guided us all along our internship, I really learned a lot from them. It is really a very memorable experience.

Getting Married and Crazy Parents

Submitted by Mercer Smith on Wed, 2012-05-16 16:45

I can't even begin to explain how frustrated I am! Not only am I a full-time graduate student, but I also work full-time, teach, and now, on top of it, I have a wedding to plan! I know that everyone says take the time and enjoy what you have going on for you in the here-and-now and don't worry about the future, but I just can't help it! Both of my parents seem to be using this time as an excuse to fight and be angry at each other for one reason or another, and sometimes I wish I could just shake them and remind them that this is supposed to be about me!

When you're always sleepy in class

Submitted by Jay Pineda on Tue, 2012-05-15 01:50

I guess one dilemma of most college students is going to class early in the morning. Most of us loves cramming or prefer to stay up late at night, so we just have a very very short sleep every day. And as a result, we find it hard to stay awake and active on our first few morning classes. I know this because I have experienced this too. I usually sleep late at night, usually around 1am to 2am, and I have to wake up at 6 30 in the morning so I always lack sleep.

Almost done with my internship

Submitted by Jay Pineda on Mon, 2012-05-14 22:11

When I first knew that I will be having my internship this summer, I was actually disappointed because I will not be able to enjoy my summer vacation. I spent the weeks before my summer vacation searching for companies who accepts interns. And finally I got accepted at Ensogo (now LivingSocial Philippines) I was actually excited to have my internship at a company like LivingSocial because I know that this is not the traditional company and is involved in an emerging industry. But of course, I was still a bit lazy to come to office.

Your professor's attitude problems

Submitted by Jay Pineda on Mon, 2012-05-14 04:23

I am sure when I ask you "who is the most annoying in class?" You will surely have an answer. I know that. We all know someone who pisses us off with their attitude. We all have classmates who annoy us, right? And most of the time, it is very very hard to get rid of them. Well, if we really want to get rid of them, we can, by enrolling in different classes. But, have you ever noticed that some professors have attitude problems too? If not, well yeah, I believe you are now making an analysis about the attitudes of your professors.

Like all those years before, this year also I am being flooded with advertisements from every radio and TV station and internet pages about the various gifts that need to be given to the mothers out there on the Mother's day. From flowers in beautiful vases to chocolates to strawberries dipped in delicious coatings to beauty products, you name it - the advertisers have thought about it!

Struggling with Success

Something that most people have to deal with in college is struggling with success. If you have started college and are a good student, succeeding in your classes, and excelling at your extracurriculars, you will undoubtedly meet someone that wants to bring you down. Maybe they will call you a nerd, or maybe they will try to distract you from your classes or tell you that doing your homework on a Friday night is dorky...don’t listen to them!

When your professor is unprofessional

Submitted by Jay Pineda on Tue, 2012-05-08 21:46

If there is one person who could make or break you when you are in college, it is your professor. Yes, your professor. It is not your classmate. Your classmate can only annoy you, but once you encounter an unprofessional professor, good luck. Of course if you have a misunderstanding or the professor just don't like you, it will be very hard for you.

As I come to the close of my masters in fine arts, and my book is almost out in the real world for real-life ripping and shredding by editors, I realize that I have gained at least one major skill over the course of the past decade: thick skin.
