What is it like being a third year Com Sci student?

Well, being a third student who’s taking up computer science course is really hard because at this level, professors are really kind of a bomb that can blow you up. They are more massive than before. If you are a first year or second year and you are struggling with your subjects in this course, third year and fourth year are even worst. At third year we experienced making projects whole night without sleeping, reviewing subjects for tomorrow exams and also without sleeping and more.

                Our batch of computer science is composed of 64 before if I am not mistaken. Every semester this large number of comsci begun to decrease. And now comsci third year is more or less 20 now. Some of us shift to other course, some has stop, and some has transfer to different colleges. This is the proof that comsci is not an easy course and I do believe in ma’am Shanette said that this course is the hardest one because we are using our own logics here but in the other course they are more in memorizing process. But now I love my course because I’ve learned a lot of different things here.

                Being a third year student of computer science is not always miserable. There are some that I like to be a third year. One of that is I am close to graduate just add little patience and dedications. Patience because sometimes making projects is really hard and it can lose your temper. Second is third year student’s bonding became deeper than before. Sama sama kami lahat kahit sa paggawa ng projects and assignments kasi umiiral na samin ang tulungan haha. Ayaw na namin na may mawala pa sa comsci at kung mawawala man sila eh it’s not our fault na. Yung mga hindi ku nakakasama dati eh komportable na akung kasama sila, lalong lalo na who helped me a lot about our subjects. Third, the thesis is starting now at kahit napakahirap nito eh I am happy because were near sa pggraduate. Thesis is really a tough one but me and my partner can pass this challenge. Fourth, until now I am part of the comsci group because I never said never haha(justien bieber). I keep on fighting and not allowing to overcome with fear that I may not do it or do that kaya nga andyan ang mga prof and advisers para tulungan kami. And lastly is my parents are proud of me because during my high school years I don’t want to study. I prefer to date someone or to flirt someone kesa magaral. But now I took college life seriously than before. Mahirap pero kakayanin yan.

                But the big question is “nagsisi ba kayu na ngcomsci kayo?”. Well actually nagsisi na natutuwa kasi haha. Nagsisi kasisi mahirap naman talaga, simula sa paggawa ng project, sa pgrereview at iba pa. Ngayun pa na parating na ang passuc, yung iba makakapgrelax kasi wala naman pasok pero kami gagawa na kami ng project sa data com na mahirap naman talaga, yung system namin sa software engineering pati sa MIS, thesis project plus yung ibang minor na who start to scheduled their exams(review time again). Natutuwa kasi kahit gnyan ang nangyayari eh wala naman ngrereklamo all of us have the courage to face this hehe.

                Aim high lang and go for the gold!!!!!!
