*What a UP student is not

There’s no one-word that completely describes a UP student, no not even “activist”! *laugh*

*scoff* how do I start this? Well, I guess I could start off by saying that being a student is pretty darn challenging.

I guess it really isn’t a shocker if different groups form in schools. I think if you really observe the people, you would be able to distinguish which groups certain people belong to. I and some of my friends have observed some already.

One group that was the most evident was the “Nanings” as we call them. As UPians, they aren’t really that adventurous when it comes to going out and when it comes to love and stuff like that. I think they’d rather study then do that. But I’m not saying they wouldn’t, but, I don’t think it’s at the top of their list, you know? They seem like the childish ones who don’t really focus on fixing themselves and boys, which I sometimes I get jealous of! Honestly!

We also have those who are insanely addicted to computer games!!! We obviously know who they are! I think they could go days without food and play PC games instead. *long pause* oh wait, I take it back. Food is really important to them. They could all play for hours and hours. If only they could just play nonstop I think they would. As a UP student, we are not rich, so we have to budget our money, really well. But one thing I’m amazed with these “Computer Addicts” is that they practically play more than they study but their grades are still so amazingly high!! I wish I could be like that! *gr*

There are also the “Outspoken” ones. Those people who say what they feel. Those people who aren’t afraid to fight for what they think is right. And when they find out that others talk bad behind their back, they confront them and tell them how they feel about it. I think people like this would make great leaders. It’s just some of them just don’t realize it. They just need to develop their skills. Oh ya, another thing, they are very spontaneous in and out of class. They seem to never be scared to speak in front of the class. Lucky them!

Then we have those people who are just plain crazy! They take things so lightly and seem to have no problems at all. They look so relaxed. I usually don’t usually see them frowning. They’re always on the go to have fun and ride in the current. They seem like they have no enemies or bad feelings towards other people. They usually are the life of the party, the people who also never stop talking!

Then we have the “Party People”. They may not seem like this in school, but they have this whole grooving’ life. They are those whose priorities are pretty different from the “Nanings”, probably the complete opposite. I guess they love going out and chilling, not worrying about things (even though there’s a lot to worry about). I guess you could call them the rebels? Not the Goth-Emo kind though. Just those who are given a ton of rules but never listen to them, even though they know it isn’t right? *grin* They express themselves through fashion? Am I right? I don’t know. I’m not sure about that.
There are the athletes. Well, what school doesn’t have them? We all know who they are. They’re the sporty ones, usually made up of really cute guys *big smile*. And there are pretty girls in this too. I don’t know what else to say because we all know what athletes are already. One last thing I could say though is that you could probably find them chilling or playing in the covered court (or in the open field).

There are also those people who don’t like to be noticed, don’t talk a lot to people. I’m not saying they’re loners but I guess they’re just not the kind of people who’d socialize. I don’t really know.

Oh my God. Now, that I’m really thinking about this, I just realized that there are a lot more!! Way way more! The things I said weren’t facts. They were how I saw the people in our school. But even though we may have our own groups, we all fall into one category: UPian. As UPians we are never really on time for things and we like doing things on at the last minute. We are not time conscious. Really! *lol*
We don’t get to relax as much as we want because our schedules are just so packed!! So whatever time off we get, we really make good use for it to have some fun!

Even though as a UP student my social life out of school is “ZERO”, I still enjoy the time I get to spend with my classmates and friends. I realized that though UPians have all those flaws, we still have that one good thing in common, BRAINS! *LOL!!*

Si? *big2x smile*
