I think it's a waste to not finish the series of 'things i learned in college' posts I started since my first year of college, more so now that I'm already in my 4th year and just have 1 year and 1 sem to go!
So here goes!
This 4th year 1st semester, I learned -
1. That right now my typing position is not ERGONOMIC. My elbows do not form a 90-degree angle, my feet actually need a foot rest so that they do not suffer from strain, and that my lumbar spine is not getting enough support! ![]()
2. That if Ma’am Dakay has a toothache, we either have no classes…or we get a relatively easier exam. ![]()
3. That OC does not only mean “Obsessive Compulsive” nor “Orange County”, it also stands for “Operating Characteristics”. ![]()
4. That I need a thicker notebook and more ballpens if ever I will be under Engr. Cabilao’s class again.hehehe
(thank you diay sir for our grades!wahhhh)
5. That I need to thank the makers of Excel OM and Excel QM, because without them POM would have been a lot lot LOT harder!
6. That people sometimes go crazy during the making of case studies. ( I heard si Peter daw kay mag sayaw2x?hehehe )
7. That Peter(again), Sheng, Cinco and Jing2x prefer their rice to their viands=p
8. That if Engr. Cabilao gives out tables that you are clueless about, you SHOULD REALLY ask him about it! It’s the basis for his FINAL exam ![]()
9. That it can take as long as 45 minutes for you to travel from school to Neo Neo riding an average jeepney. Riding with Aaron however (shortcut), can eliminate at least 25 minutes waiting time.hehehe ![]()
10. Likewise, it will take you as long as 1 hour and 30 minutes to travel from Echavez to USC-TC on a very busy Tuesday on an average jeepney.
11. That Sir Gimena is also known as Sir Chbz!hehehe
12. That if…
“All girls are beautiful.”
and,
“Lea is a girl.”
Applying the rules learned in this sem’s Logic class will yield the following VALID conclusion:
“Ergo, Lea is beautiful.” Ha-ha-ha ” <---THE laugh! :D
13. That according to the speaker in the convention:
“Customer loyalty is more important than customer satisfaction. Because there will always be times when you cannot satisfy your customers…but some customers will return anyway out of LOYALTY to the company.”
14. That Ladygay is a GREAT test subject for I/O Psych ![]()
15. That walking under a midday sun from UC to USC (for fear of being stuck in traffic and ending up late for OR finals) is no mean feat! You’ll feel even WORSE when you reach school all sweaty and find out that the exam has been postponed, and won’t start for another 45 minutes! Wah!
16. That…
“More and more companies are realizing that the cost of hiring the wrong employees greatly outweigh the cost of investing in good employment screening and selection programs.” (Ni gawas jud pag finals..hehehe!)
17. That to get a BIG grade in OR lab… you have to utilize every color and hue available in MS office to beautify your tables and graphs!!!hehehe ![]()

Dear Sir, Due to the use of incorrect forecasting methods, capacity was not able to meet demand…and so on…
21. That I should order the McDonalds Chicken Fillet over the standard fried chicken because I can save more…and I won’t have chicken bones to contend with. ![]()

24. That Peter is always the only person who’s happy on exams!hahahaha ![]()

26. That Mango Jelly is super yummy if it is frozen overnight!
