Regular day for an irregular

by Tessa Joy Noche

It’s really hard to cope up with new environment. You will mingle with different people who rose from different culture and you will abide with their interest for them to like you. And the best examples of people who are experiencing this are the irregular students. They mingle with different student everyday. They become resilient so that they can go with the flow.

PUP students are known in the country as intelligent active ye humble and resourceful. Aside from low tuition fee, Polytechnic University of the Philippines offers high quality of education.

And Mary Shane J. Infantado is one of the lucky and best student who was given a chance to be part of the PUP circle of achievers. She’s an irregular student originally from the College of Accountancy. The primary reason why she decided to shift to broadcast communication is because the subjects in accountancy were very draining and tough since they have lots of exams to take and their professors are so harsh and perfectionist that is why it hard for them to study. “I don’t have any regrets in shifting. I’m having a great time in this college and I am so happy to be part of the certified outstanding college in the university”, Shane answered when she was asked if she have any regrets.

Though she’s an irregular student she’s still happy because she found new friends. But sometimes she’s having a hard time in coping up with the new environment because some people are making prejudgments towards her.

“At first, I expected that it would be fun and challenging because most of my friends who are ahead of me and took the same course (bachelor in broadcast communication) most likely worked on productions and field”, Shane said. Shane is an adventurous person, she loves to explore that is why she chose to shift to broadcast communication.

To be free and to express herself is what she wants. And she believes that one way of expressing ourselves is through writing.

Shane Infantado is a very participative student. Though some of her classmates misunderstood her, she remains standing and fighting because she believes in the cosmic rule of karma that what you do to others will be do unto you.
