Never have I ever imagined that making a post, video, or photo viral would be this hard. We've been tasked to make a video, meme, and tweet, viral. It's hard to make it trend especially when we only have few followers and we can't force everyone to give it a thumbs up or a like. We did everything we can to make it trend. We liked it and used hashtags to make it more noticeable. We tried hard to create a post that is attractive and funny. We tried to make it look good. We are happy with the results. The response made us glad because many people retweeted, favorited, liked or shared it even though we did not ask them to. The likes, shares, retweets and favorites we gathered came from the bottom of their hypothalamus. It feels good that we made someone happy with what we've done. 

Will we be famous after this? Definitely not! :D

We risked our dignity and pride in these. Just kidding! 


We can do things that are way out of our comfort zone for our grades. This is for IT1! For a better future!

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

I've never imagined an hour or two to be THAT fast.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. 

I've never loved programming.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. 

I've never heard of Python

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. 

I'm... a... hopeless case.

At first, it was fine because our professor guided us. She gave us the first steps. But when  it was time for us to do it alone, or should I say by pair?, it didn't went well. Sadly, my partner and I both didn't know what to do next. So I tried to do it alone, step by step.

It was so hard because I was always doing it wrong. Error. Still error. I was so frustrated but that didn't stop me to continue what I'm doing. When I finally got it, the time left was not enough for me to finish it. I feel pressured. So pressured. I don't know if it is good or what. But I'm happy because I was able to do it despite of failing for so many times. :D

Some say that college days were the best days of their lives. I thought otherwise. Since school started, I was always occupied to do things that will be my passport to graduation. Where's the fun in that? College students are busy and sleep-deprived. I can't even complete an 8-hour long sleep. That were my thoughts in my first months here. I'm already waving goodbye to the fun I wish to experience.
I began to realize that those people were right. You will experience so much fun in college. Many firsts. First all-nighter. First failing grade. First party. First performance in large class. I never thought that I would have fun like this. I thought in college, we will just study hard and harder if it's not enough then pass the exam after. I never expected that I will go back to my childhood and play. Boy, IT1 keeps on proving me wrong. At first, I thought that it was just a game. Again, I was wrong. It wasn't just a game. Its purpose is to let us experience what happens in a computer. It was indeed an interactive way to teach students. Learning should not only focus on facts because that will only bore students. What we had today is a perfect example of what learning should be. Having fun but at the same time, challenging our minds.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who hates Math. She loathes the subject so much. She hates numbers. She hates fractions. She hates problems and everything in Math. Luckily, her best friend was a Math geek. Every time, they have assignments in that subject, they conduct group study. But she never liked Math so she just copies her best friend's assignment. (#Bad)

When she entered high school, they separated ways. Her best friend studied in a different school, far away from her. The girl got scared. "What will happen to me now? Nobody will help me understand Math," she said. 

She struggled at first. The Mathematics in elementary was way easier than the mathematics in secondary. She strive harder. The funny thing is, she became good in Math. What's funnier? She was chosen in her year level to be one of the representatives in a Mathematics contest. For four consecutive years, her team never failed to make it to the oral phase. She was good. Or so she thought. She eventually loved Math. Especially Algebra. 

Then she entered college. Little did she know that her love for Algebra will vanish in a single snap. She heard her friends rant about Boolean algebra but she never thought that she would do that to. She thought their lessons in this will get better but as time passes by nothing changed. It seems like she is being tested. Can she still do this? Of course yes. 

I want to be honest to myself and admit that I am having difficulties. I swear, I understood Prof. Drio's explanation in the lab so I went back to the dorm determined to finish the exercise given that same day. However when I looked at it again, everything I remembered became blurry. I tried to answer it but in some parts, I can't so I asked for my friend's help who happens to be an Applied Mathematics student here. She agreed to help. I just hope that what she taught me was really correct so I will get a high score in the exercise. Let it be known here that I'm trying. I'm trying so  hard. 

Sometimes, I feel like giving up because I honestly experience many difficulties in my subjects. But I'm not. Someone told me that life in UP is really tough. I'm not giving up because I know I'm lucky to be here. I'm one of those aspirants who made it here in the university. I need not to think of giving up because I have a lot of dreams to fulfill and this is the stage where it is almost within reach. I need to prep up because these are just small obstacles. Small obstacles that I can overcome. (#NeverGiveUp)
