UNIVERSITY DAY: A Reflection

Each University Day serves as a celebratory reminder of university’s beginnings, and some ceremonies have been particulary memorable.

Last Friday, February 20, our school, the Quezon City Polytechnic has celebrated its University Day. That day, All of QCPians including Professors, faculty members and personnels celebrating the founding of our beloved University. From the hard times of school days, we feel relieved and feel free from negative effects of being student. That yearly event helps us remember that after a hard days of studying and teaching, there is the time for celebration to unite us in a good way.

Actually, I won’t able to go in our Main Campus in Novaliches because of doing paperworks and I have a work. But because im not that guy who ignored everything that happened in my enviorenment, I asked some of my friends and my classmates to have reference to make about the University day. A lot of my friends told me that nothing good or important happened. Actually a lot of them said that event is too boring and they called it a University day? Where is the word “UNIVERSITY DAY” when they perform the event. There are few booths that are placed across the main campus in which it includes ukay-ukay booth, zumba booth, singing and dancing booth. Generally speaking, it has a putted effort to successfully make the U-day. It has a little quite things and stuffs that somehow the students would enjoy.

As you can see, how will students enjoyed that day? They lauched a booth that solds a second hand goods? They have a zumba booth for what? Did this things helps us or even entertained us? And they called it UNIVERSITY DAY? When I was in 1^st year high school, every clubs held a different kinds of entertainment and school-related games like Pinoy Henyo, maze, and etc. In my own opinion, they don’t really know what students wanted to or even what they expected for. As a freshmen, I expected a lot from this event but then It all gone. I really wondering why they need to have a Ukay ukay? Fund-raising activity? For what? Sorry for my opinion but this is not the first time that corruption happened in our nation. Actually, I have a lot of questions I want to asked them. But then, im just a student but I really wanted to have my voice in our school.

However, from my own point of view, it is insufficient. It lacks the connection to the real essence of the U-day which is the celebration of having the University and considering the students enjoyment. The students were quite bored because of the inappropriate booths that has established there. It does not have a specific objective that should be accomplish. They weren’t able to organize the facilitation and management well.

I would suggest that next time or during other general activities which would involved all the students, they should have assigned a particular committee for each aspect of what program should be done. And include appropriate activities. But I still appreciate the fact that they have putted effort to make the U-day a successful one. This is just my opinion and I have my rights to publish my thoughts and opinions.
