 Hi, Freshie!

Im sure youll have some of your best

memories within the confines of the campus
and with the people you meet in it. You
are fortunate enough to be part of the
lucky few to experience living inside the
campus. To say that your experience as a
resident student will be unlike any other
students of the university would be an
understatement. Within the halls, you will
experience the best and worst times of your
life and luckily youll have the best people to share
these with. Youll find more than just a bed and
shower. Youll find a home. And youll
recreate the home.
As your journey in the Ateneo begins, I would
like to ask you to keep an open- mind and
an open-heart to the various new things
that youll encounter. They may not be the
things you expect, but thats what makes them
incomparable. There will be days where
youll brave the world with so much
optimism, confidence, and hope. And
thats great. But, there will be times that
you will want to just stay in your room,
log out from every social media account
you have, and eat cup noodles for break-
fast, lunch, and dinner. And thats also
okay. But as a new day comes, get up, take
a shower, and dress to kill because, trust
me, you wont want to miss a thing.
