What UP Students are NOT...

I bet you think you know what UP students are but do you know what UP students are NOT?

There have been many assumption of what UP students are but most reflect negatively on us and are not true.

UP peopel often stereotyped for the way they speak, act, dress and think. Most of the time, they think of us as unfriendly, snobs, etc.

Often times, amongst ourselves we talk about what is prominent on us a UPians. Now let us veer on the other side: the part that we UPians are not.

Above everything, we do not just conform to rules. For us, there are a lot of alternative approach to all matters. important to UPians so confinning us to norms is like chaining us to a past.

We are not narrow-minded. One of the traits we have is that we open to any discussion, option and opinion. We may be idealistic to the point that we get hard-headed, but it only symbolizees that we are among the few people who are very understanding.

UP students are not everything you expected them to be. We also walk the death march to graduation. We commit mistakes like any NORMAL human being would. We may be the cream of the crop becuase we got into this university but we are certainly not the best nor are we perfect. We simply do what we are capable of doing and try bring out the best of our abilities. That's like any ordinary students.

UP students are not proud of nothing. they are because they know that it's a great honor to be in this learning institute. They are certain that they are taught by the best instructors in the country.

UP students are not pretentious of who or what they are. They show or express the real them for it is tiresome to hide behind a mask. That makes UPians comfortable.

Up students are not selfish, instead, they are very much generous. They share what resource they have. They share whatever knowledge they have.

UP students are not book-freaks! They enjoy their own lives in their own ways. They also unlike like any other human being do.

UP students are simply the best people to be with. Love us the way we are and enjoy with us.

Reaction to "Love is a Fallacy"

The story was qiute weird because the girld likes guys having racoon coats. In the side of the narrator, he was also weird because instead of telling the girl directly about his feelings for her, he did twist and turn. He gave her a test about logic and identifying false statements. Giving her a lesson inside a restaurant for five nights. Five nights of conversing with each other with the same topic made the story ironic. Polly was really having a child-like mind because when the narrator expressed his feelings, she thought it was all a fallacy.

The whole story was ironic. The characters were having a very undescribable part in the story. But inspite these, it was really nice; telling about all the false ideas of this world which the people themselves had used. Max Schulman did a very fantastic story, as I say because all his words were thought twice before used. They were brilliant. If it would be made to a movie, people would really be restless thinking what would be the continuation of such literary work left without an end.

This short story of his was made in order for people to see their mistakes in their ideas used in every day lives. But we all know that love can never lie; it is often true. As they say, the heart has a mind of its own.

Don't let earthly things deceive you!
