FROM YOUR COUNSELOR'S DESK: WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY WORLD!
It is a 2nd week of this semester! You have started your study life once again BUT this time it is totally different from what you have experienced during your schooling period.
Why and what’s the different?????
Ø No more fixed schedule! You can sleep for whole day long if no class on that day (but beware, mind you own schedule!)
Ø Now, you have more freedom in life and there will be no one to supervise you.
Ø Can know more friends from different states and different countries.
Ø There is no need to wear uniform and no more long winded assembly every morning.
Ø You can go for a walk or go shopping should there is a long break between classes.
BUT...
Ø There is no parents or school bus to fetch you to go and come back from classes if you stay alone here.
Ø Have to fix every meal by yourself.
Ø Have to settle your own bills and rental if you are staying alone.
Ø Have to learn how to share things with others when you live together with coursemates or roommates.
Can you fit yourself well now with these differences???
For those who have SUCCESSFULLY FIT THEMSELVES well now, CONGRATULATIONS and,
For those WHO ARE STILL STRUGGLING TO FIT yourself here, DO NOT WORRY, we do understand that staying away from home to study is never been an easy task. Here are some few tips that can help you get through it.

v Say ‘I will miss you’ to the Past and say ‘Hello! I’m coming!’ to the Present ~ Try limit the contact with your loved ones to call once or twice a week, text message, Facebook, Msn so that you will learn not to too attach to the past. Give yourself some time and it will be OK soon!
