Peer to Peer Pressure!!

Peers influence your life, even if you don't realize it, just by spending time with you. You learn from them, and they learn from you. It's only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group. Peer pressure is when "friends" persuade you to doing something that you do not want to do.

One of the major problems with peer pressure occurs when you get sucked into something that you really didn't want to do and subsequently, become addicted to it. Usually, people get backed into a situation to try illegal drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes and more times than not, these behaviors can become habit forming.

It is tough to be the only one who says "no" to peer pressure.  It can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who is willing to say "no," too. This takes a lot of the power out of peer pressure and makes it much easier to resist. It's great to have friends with values similar to yours who will back you up when you don't want to do something.

Even if you're faced with peer pressure while you're alone, there are still things you can do. You can simply stay away from peers who pressure you to do stuff you know is wrong. You can tell them "no" and walk away. Better yet, find other friends and classmates to pal around with. 

Do your best to help yourself  get into peer groups with positive influences: those who get high grades, and friends who will encourage you to work hard.

MC INTENSIFIED!

We were all up early yesterday for our Masscom week. It was the opening day for IAS week and everyone participated in the different competition. MC Fair Intensified 2011 was an exciting event to all Mass Communication major. The flow of the events was smooth too.

Even though, I didn’t join any event during those days, I enjoying every part of the events. My Classmates and I were there to watch Mass Comm Idol, Quiz bee, Editorial Cartoon Making, Essay Writing, MC Best Dance Crew etc. Everything looked very organized from the parking grounds to the program proper. And whatever hitches there may have been (I'm sure there were some), more than anything, the audience were excited to see the energy of the participants as they showcase their talents such as singing and dancing. I can proudly say that Mass Communication students are very talented.  

I truly appreciate the blessing of being able to be part of this institution. My classmates and I see how the school population has grown in our school and how student used to enroll their self as a proud mass communication major. 

With a good and much improved building to run and a larger student population to manage, I'm confident that the administrators will do their best to make sure the academic standards are well maintained.
