The Josenian Love Story (College Life vs Love Life)

 “Ayaw sa’g uyab-uyab, pagtarong sa og eskwela!”, usa kini sa mga sikat nga linya sa atong mga ginikanan aron pagpahinumdum kanato kun unsay angay ug dili angay buhaton, ug kasagaran nato naingnan na sa maong linyaha. Ang uban mo tando nalang kay kapila na gibalik-balik og ingon ug ipa lapus nalang sa pikas dunggan.

College is a time for discovering yourself and your interests; this alone makes college life tough. Being in a relationship can also be tough. Adding a relationship into the college experience can either make you or break you and may present unique challenges. Balancing your academic and a relationship is part of that challenge.

As Josenians, mangita man gyud ta'g inspirayon, core values palang gani nato daan gaingon na og “I.N.S.P.I.R.E.” Matod pa nila, “Mapugngan pa'ng baha kaysa b*ga”, samot na kung ga eskwela ka’s eskwelahan kung diin gikan kasagaran taga-Cebu nga artista, kung diin daghan og gwapo ug gwapa, maglisod jud ka'g pugong-pugong ug imposibling dili ka mahigugma.
Kung aduna naman gani kay nakit-an nga naibgan, mag duha-duha pod ka'g panguyab or sugot kay lagi ingon sila nga ang pag uyab-uyab makadaut ra sa pag eskwela. Naa poy uban nga dili nalang mag uyab-uyab kay mao gihapon mag buwag ra. Pero masuya ug ma OP (out of place) ka’s imong barkada nga naay partner ug di ka ganhan tawagon og FOREVER ALONE. Makapangutana ka’s imong kaugalingon, College Life o Love Life?

Sa panahon karon nga mas taas pa'ng linya’s Accounting kaysa sa katas-on sa mga relasyon; mas gubot pa'ng love-life kaysa’s enrollment, lisod tubagon ang maong pangutana; pero adunay pipila ka mga Josenians nga ni take sa risk, nagka-uyab, nagkadayon ug nagmalipayon.
So, here are my TOP JOSENIAN COUPLES who stand the test of time and their College Lives.

Years: 5 years

Couple: Rey and Brenda

Formal silang nagka-ila-ila during sa Students’ Night, although they were schoolmates way back in high school pero taken pa daw si Rey ato mao nga wala silay chance nga magkaila-ila. “Siya una nag pa tagad nako, so ako okay lang kay I’m single.”

They started as good friends since then ( bisan crush gyud to kaayo niya si Rey), and eventually, na develop. char.

Whether it’s a P.E. class, during Intramural, Youth for Jo, or bisan 1st year pa ka, there will be that one special place and chance where you can meet that special someone special during college. The problem is that a lot of students can’t pick one or the other. Time management can give you and make the best of you during college. Kadagaghanan ka nato mo try og balance sa academic, part-time job, community service, and social life nga maoy maka stressed out na hinuon. Daghan tang mabasahan and madunggan nga ang stress and love don’t work very well together. Before ta mosulod og usa ka relasyon or butang, atong huna-hunaon ang atong mga priorities before mo decide whether it is the right time to consider having a serious relationship.
 
Sa atong tibuok panahon nga igugol sa college, atong pirme gihunahuna ang atong mga plano sa kinabuhi ug apil na diha ang makahimo og family. So of course, college would seem like an ideal time to find love. Pero kun dili man gani nato makit-an, di maguol. Work towards a career because you never know if you’ll have to be on your own. Matod pang Kris Aquino, “Lucky in Love = Unlucky in Career. Unlucky in Love = Lucky in Career.

College is all about finding yourself, learning to deal with stress, working towards a career, and becoming 100% independent. #Adelante
