Now, the jubilation has faded and the reality has revealed itself. Some may agree, some may don’t but for me, ten days of disconnection from school’s routine gives us a sense of random and spontaneous space and time to do it. We can think of so many things to do aside from homework (if miraculously your teacher gave you one because s/he knew that classes will be suspended beforehand.) and at a certain point, we may get lost. This is my effort to at least give some few tips about making this opportunity of momentary pause to its fullest.
1. This is the perfect time for you to register to Vote! XU is the only school in the city suspended, so maybe you don’t have much competition in COMELEC.
2. Have a new haircut. I know I do.
3. Go home and Visit your high school friends. It is good to reconnect with the old and sturdy roots.
4. If you have clear books or note books, you can start labelling them. At least this helps you keep your files organized.
5. Play a sport, this can keep us fit and healthy – a great counter to the temptation of becoming a couch potato in these 10 days.
6. Read a book/study – this only works with most people, not all. I’ll be reading Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.
7. DOTA! CALL OF DUTY 4! I’m just learning DOTA, Call of Duty – memorized the game!
8. DVD Marathon – it is good to revisit old habits during the summer days,
9. Evaluate Your Priorities and Yourself. This is the best time to evaluate your habits and perceptive regarding school and other essential life factors because you are given the rare chance to be detached and de-burdened. Make good use of it.
10. For the student organizers, it is a good time to re-evaluate the direction of your
organization and set proper adjustments.
But as we dive into the randomness of this 10 days, let us always put into mind the primary reason why we have this in the first place - because of the virus. So exert an extra-effort about our health and if you feel the symptoms, immediately contact the proper authorities.
