New, exciting and truly memorable. That is how Ms. Marian Carpo described her PUP life. Now in her third year, Marian claimed that she had already learned a lot of things that books cannot suffice and at the same time, thankful to be exposed on the real world. College, for her, is full of personal and social realities of life.
Marian enrolled at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines for what most PUPians looked for, that is, cheaper yet quality education. But how come that this cute little girl have gone a long way from Laguna to study in PUP Sta. Mesa? Well in fact, there exists a PUP branch in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. Simply because they do not offer a Broadcast Communication course there, which seemed to be Ms. Carpo's passion and persuasion. Not to mention her obsession to be a part of the PUP society.
An average of one hour bus ride, Marian endures the triumphs, hardships and success of commuting. She once lived in her uncle's house in Quezon City and made it for just two weeks. Finding it hard living in someone else's house with limited actions and consequently missing home. She also tried boarding a house near the school and found herself missing her family like never before. By the way, Marian is a family-oriented individual who longs to be near her loved-ones for as much as possible. Such an affectionate sister and daughter.
When asked regarding the entrance exam, Marian didn't have a hard time going through it. She even ended up with a higher raw score, encouraging aspiring PUPians. Saying, PUP is a place where realities and opportunities will always be open as long as they take the right pathway to their dreams.
Not an activist, Marian is quite proud of PUP's reputation as the home of activists. Saying at least, it has its trademark and thanking the activists who are responsible for the stable tuition fee. "Being type casted as the home of activists proves how socially conscious most of the students are in PUP," says she.
A member of the Every Nation Campus Ministry (ENCM-formerly known as Youth on Fire), Marian is ashamed of being an inactive member. Said, she now realized she shouldn't have joined the organization and boldly admitted that she's bad at managing her time.
Also, Ms. Carpo hates teachers who teach for the sake of income itself without the dedication to be an influential professor. I couldn't agree more. I believe teaching should be done with passion, something deeper beyond the word teaching itself.
When asked, Marian doesn't care about the discrimination between the elite and the state university students. And pity those who are spending hundreds of thousands of peso as investment. A school nationalist, she strongly believes that state university students are still better, wiser and tougher in terms of resourcefulness and out-of-the-world experiences.
Marian who look so petite is ironically in love with eating. It probably plays a big part in stimulating her nerves. Watching TV, anime, movies, sleeping, and chatting also keep her away from any kind of stress.
Straying the PUP community for almost three years now, Marian have developed several virtues. One is to never think of yourself as someone that others will give importance to, but rather find someone whom you will give importance to. Another is the best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time, and the best time to love is now. And most convincingly, money is definitely important than boyfriend. Yes. I agree because for now, there are a lot more ways of enjoying ourselves even with the most effortless ways. . .
