        Possibilities of


        your first year






        Dear freshmen, as we are well aware, COVID19 has taken a toll on our lives. Depending on the situation
        of the country, the ministry will decide on how your first semester shall be taken. For now, here are
        some of the possibilities:

        •   Firstly, there is Virtual Learning; some call it the new reality. Like the past year, this semester could
           be completely virtual, but don’t worry, online classes aren’t that bad! In fact, they come with a
           handful of benefits that you will slowly find out. All you need to do now is prepare your mind and
           get your pencils ready!


        •   Secondly, there is a possibility that you will be having hybrid classes. This means there is a chance
           your classes will be a mix of both online and face-to-face classes. Imagine going to the campus
           today and having the choice to stay in your room for classes tomorrow. Stay excited but not too
           excited, and buy that new journal!


        •   As freshmen, I am sure you are excited and hoping to have your classes Face to Face, on campus.
           Well good news! There is a chance you might take your classes in person! Although there might be
           tight rules and regulations to follow in order to ensure the safety of everyone, the classes would
           still be convenient. In the meantime, have a workout session and buy that new backpack!
