I studied BS Computer Science at Bicol University from 2015 to 2020. I struggled with object-oriented programming. I became an irregular student in late 2016, and it lasted until 2020. When I was a BSCS student, I would seek help from my classmates in solving programming problems. Instead of four years, it took me five years to complete the said degree.

We never had face-to-face graduation exercises.

In July 2022, I realized that I had chosen and graduated with the wrong major, computer science. I don’t envision myself working in that field. I wish I were a CENG (College of Engineering) student.

“In September 2019, during the celebration of Bicol University Week, I chanted, ‘CENG-la-loo.’ I wish I were a CENG student.”

“The 2022 Bicol University graduation exercises make me envious and sad. It makes me cry.”

“The 2022 Bicol University graduation ceremony is like no other. It makes me cry.”

“I wish I were a CENG (College of Engineering) student.”

“My decision to pursue BS Computer Science was a mistake. The decision was made impulsively.”

“When I was a BS Computer Science student, I would say, ‘Let’s shift course.’ But it never happened.”

“A few years before I ‘graduated,’ I had been contemplating on shifting my course in college.”

“I am planning to return to college. I envy CENG. I wish I were a CENG student.”

“As a BS Computer Science ‘graduate,’ I don’t envision myself working in the field of computer science. I struggled with computer programming, especially beginning in my second year. I see an uncertain future as a BSCS ‘graduate.’ That’s why I’m now thinking of pursuing a second college major.”

“I was physically at CS (College of Science) but mentally and psychologically at CENG (College of Engineering).”

“I must return to college. If I don’t, I’ll be miserable.”

“My refusal in 2014 to pursue an engineering major has backfired on me. I now want to be a CENG (College of Engineering) student.”

“The realization of choosing the wrong major makes me miserable. It’s taking a toll on my mental health.”

“My potential would be wasted if I don’t return to college and pursue an engineering major.”

“I am planning to return to college to pursue a second college major—at CENG.”

“It’s important that I be given a second chance to pursue a college major that is more closely aligned with my interests and to correct my mistakes in choosing a college major.”
