UNIVERSITYLOUNGES:FORSTUDENTSORASTORAGE?
In the recent semesters of the academic year 2023–2024, there are students from the City of Malabon University (CMU) who are complaining about having no access to a safe and peaceful learning environment inside the university, and that escalating issue has become a major problem for the students seeking a shelter to study It is disappointing and saddening that the university administration seems nottonoticeandignore the university-wide issuethateverystudent is dealing with throughout their everyday life on campus That kind of situation is more burdensome, knowing howthelackoflearning facilities could immensely affect the capabilities of the students to learn and adapt to the environment offered to thembytheuniversity
Based on the 2022 research study conducted in Kuwait, Qatar, out of 100%, part of the respondents said that they spend their free time sitting in hallways and corridors (13%), classrooms and studios (13%), and the and the university library (9%) A total of 35% of the respondents spent most of their free timeinsidethecampus These are signs of how important learning facilities like student lounges are for students to spend their vacant schedules or free time to rest, do activities, and socialize Instead of encouraging students to embrace the campus learning environment,thelackof learning facilities will only leave students no otherchoicebuttoseek some other places outside where they are vulnerableandproneto accidents only to rest andstudy

of approach that the university students are showing in response to the absence of administration in providing a solution to the problem, it is just rightandfairtosaythat in no time, some students would decide not to engage in the environment of the campus and no longer acknowledge the university as a safe place to study University Journalism Student Odralim D Villarez said in an interview that the lack of a place to rest and study affects his life as a student, especially during this summer season where instead of staying at school, they were being forced to do online classes or be forced to go outside and seek a place because the library is fullandclassroomsand lounges are occupied However, these situations seem to be invisible and hard to noticebecause,after
several months, the administration still has no solution to this growingproblem
Nevertheless, the administration has already provided an air-conditioned library with complete books and computers that can be used by the students as a tool to make their studying a lot easier and more accessible, but the mere fact that this library is still not enough to cater to all students seeking a shelter to study is quite disturbing Not to bring up the existence of two student lounges that are both not accessible because they are either occupied by students or used as storage rooms, and the worst part is that they have no chairs and tables that can give the students the comfort and productivity they need
Furthermore,what
makes the lack of learning facilities more troublingisthefactthat itforcesstudentstouse the stairs or the hallways of the university as an alternative learning area Considering the poor choices the studentshadtomake,it ishardtoacceptthatin these scenarios, there are university personnel who would still demand the students leave because they see it as aninappropriatewayto study To be fair, according to an article released by Alicia Springer, MEd, school hallways have the potentialtobevaluable extensions of the classroom, wherein by utilizing these learning areas effectively, students will be able to use the area to engage in various activities and socialization The answer to the student’s escalating problem is very obvious from the very start, and it is so frustratingthatthe administration could not notice or see the evident solution The study only demands a place where they could study in peace and without the presence of otherpeoplewhowould limit their chances to learn
Hence, the students only need a solution that does not compromise their educationandabilityto learn, especially in this difficult situation where university support is much needed to recover from this escalating problem that has been affecting the student’s education and learning systems The two student lounges that are being used differently would and could have helped the student to be more productive and adaptivetothelearning environment provided by the university if, in the first place, the lounges were used properly and based on the needs of the student The university administration should start to go around the university to see the real situation of the students and to start thinking of a practical yet effective solution from which both students and the universitycouldbenefit

Sa panahon ngayon makikita natin na mas marami na ang taong nagsusuot ng ibat ibang kasuotan upang ipahayag ang kanilang sarili Mayroon pang iba't ibang tawag sa style ng mga kasuotan, tulad ng casual, formal, retro, y2k, acubi, at marami pang iba Dahil ngayon ay mahalaga na ang “self expression,” sa mga kabataanatmasbukas na ang kanilang isip na hindi na basehan ang sekswalidad sa kung ano ang dapat mong suotin, at hindi rin basehan kung ano ang iyong pananamit kung sino ka bilang tao Isa na ang kasuotan sa mga naging instrumento upang ipahayag ang kanilang sarilingisipan

Mayroong dress code policy ang CMU pero walang binaba na memo patungkol dito Kaya hindi lang estudyanteangnalilito,

However, the nature of his transaction is erratic Rogie outlines the Baldog phenomenon, which occurs when an investment provides substantial profits at one time but not at subsequent times Depende, kasi minsan mas malaki pa yung kinikita, minsan mas malaki pa yung puhunan at maliit yung kita," he goes on to explain
In the world of street vending, not all things are created equal Some things offer huge returns, while others may barely cover the initial cost "Ano po ' yung kalakal na kapag nakuhaniyoehsureball na po na malaki kung kikitainniyo?"Iquestion, hoping to discover the commodities that ensure a profitable return
