2ND MEETING: COPING WITH THE TRANSITION TO COLLEGE (READINGS)

1.) My first week of stay at MCL, well at first nervous but excited. Nervous in terms of, i doesnt have any friends or anybody to talk to and to be with; but now I can say that I already have some good friends of mine.

2.) Professors, actually my first impression to all of them is that they are all strict and hard to talk to. But then, I was wrong again. If you will just look at them you will trully have those kind of impressions but the way they talk to you is much more different, they're kind, you can easily approach them. And if you have some problems they are all welcome to listen to it.

3.) Block sections/ mates, well as of now I can say that they are all kind, they always have jokes, they always tease on each other, music lover, friendly and easy to be with. For the strenghts and weaknesses I havent discovered it yet.

4.) Courses for my program MMA (Multimedia Arts) are all challenging but I think MATH011 as the easy one but it doesnt mean that I'am really good at math but because I already know some of the lessons that were studying now, its like were reviewing our high school math. HUM013 for me is the most challenging among all beacause, were studying I think some of the literary pieces in which we are going to explain it and when it comes to explaning or explanation those kind of things I find it so difficult.

5.) There are a lots of adjustments that I feel that I am going through. Based on my schedule I will not have any breaktime and because of that, I have to adjust myself to eat more before our classes start. On the other side it also have some good effects for those who are undergoing on their diet.

2ND MEETING: GUIDE QUESTIONS FOR JOURNAL ENTRIES

1. How was your first week of stay at MCL?

2. Describe your professors. What are traits do you find positive in each one?

1st MEETING: ANSWERS FOR THE GUIDE QUESTIONS FOR JOURNAL ENTRIES

The first few days that I've spent here at MCL was quite similar to some of us. Nervous but excited. Nervous in terms of, i doesnt have any friends or anybody to talk to and to be with; excited in a way that I will soon finish my studies and will soon got my own job.

Being a College Student is realy different if we are going to compare it into our High School lives. Way back before I when I was a cute, chubby, little girl i envision that once you've entered college its gonna be easier that high school, because you will just focus into youre chosen program or course. But I was soo wrong! Since the day that I have known that entering college life is difficult. I always said to myself that I better study more.

There are soo many things that differ once you enter colloge. First, in your classmates, way back in our high school life; you would be able to meet the same faces of your classmates that you have, but in college you wont. Second, you wont have any adviser that would always remind you in your projects , assignments or any requirements that you need to pass. Third, your class schedule - once that youre sched is full or straight, you wont be able to eat your lunch or even have any breaktime (so you better eat more before you go to school).

Values Education, is a course were in students would be able to learn to vary their character, moral, personal and spiritual development.

1st MEETING: GUIDE QUESTIONS FOR JOURNAL ENTRIES

1. In the first few days you've spent in MCL, how would you compare your highschool life to what you envisioned college life to be?

2. What is the importance of Values Education?

1st MEETING: COLLEGE LIFE (READINGS)

ThoughtsYou’re in college already!Your first few days in college are characterized by feeling of both excitement and worry. You are excited to see and experience by yourself what others are telling you about it. At the same time, you probably worry about how it is to live a life in collage world.Who among you felt tensed when you took the entrance test? Can you still recall the feeling when the admission officer confirmed your admission at MCL? When you saw MCL for the first time during campus tour, didn’t you find yourself saying “Wow ang ganda naman dito”, “Wow ang laki naman ng MCL”, “Dito ako magka-college”.Enrolment in College just like at MCL could be something new to you also. Might be, your parents often times did it for you, or they used to accompany you all throughout the process. Perhaps you were caught unaware that you’ll be doing it by yourself here at MCL, that you and your parents will have to separate ways: (they have to stay at the parents’ waiting area while you’re enrolling). You probably felt worried and unsure if you can do it but in the end, you reaped the good feeling of accomplishing something by yourself. Then, came the orientation day, how many of you feel excited meeting new faces? How many of you felt shy, tensed and worried being with the company of strangers. Perhaps, the orientation also helped you know MCL much deeper. What about during the first day of class, how many of you have easily established friendship and connections with other students? Who among you felt insecure, unsure, uncomfortable, tensed and felt like going home already?All the feelings of excitement, worry, fear, insecurity, tension and uncertainty are natural feelings commonly experienced by freshman college student like you. There is nothing wrong feeling that way. Commonly, freshmen student in college will pass through this stage called “adjustment period”. It is period of adapting yourself into a new environment, getting to know new acquaintances, and learning a new system. Adjustment period may last for few months. If in case you find difficulty adjusting to college, don’t hesitate to ask for help. You may share you concern with your family, with your trusted friends and teachers. And of course, The Center for Student Development, an office dedicated for the service of the students, will always make time to serve you.Welcome to College life, Welcome to Malayan Colleges Laguna!
