The general perspective here in the Philippines that in order to survive university one needs to be an intelligent person is an outdated one.

The success in university is not about being an intelligent person although it helps, the key to success is to take studies seriously and not be lazy of learning.

One thing that stood out on my observation of most of the classmates, the youngers generations, they prioritize parties and get-togethers, they prioritize extra-curricular activities like leadership and playing with a musical band while their academic performance went downhill and then they fuckin complain of the simplest of academic problems 🤣
