Psych’s “Joie de Vivre”

By Knacky July Hermodo

The Department of Psychology celebrated their Psych Days 2011 last February 24, 25 and 28. This ever awaited activity stirred the scorching, thrilled hearts of Psych students, to spend moments together again, get acquainted, put everything one has learned under the Psychology’s umbrella into application, and most especially, as what most of Psych majors have agreed, to untighten stress and seize the day despite having hectic, busy schedules in school.

February 24. At 9 AM, Psych students as well as the faculty gathered around CASS rotunda for the Opening of Psych Days 2011. The main highlight of the opening is the presentation of booths by year level, which somehow made CASS festive and jaunty.

February 25. Psych students whacked the college the whole day by playing a lot of mindful yet vivacious games, like twisted version of sack race, amazing race, psych henyo, and a lot more that of course, had a taste of psychology. The students were divided into five mixed groups namely Group Blue (Schizoid), Group Red (Narcissistic), Group Orange (OCD), Group Yellow (Histrionic) and Group Green (Borderline); group names are personality disorders. At 12 NN, there was a Budol Fight by year level and the students ate together at the lobby. By 2 PM onwards, more games were then played and this lasted until 4pm. Everyone was exhausted but enjoyed the activities. 

The Psych students had their Psych Night Party at 6 PM, CON Conference Hall. During the party, there were still games, however, this year there was also a Wanna Be and DanSing. Winners of the various activities were awareded that night. Special awards like Mr. and Ms. Eyecatcher, Early Bird and Worm, were also given out. The hall was so lively and the laughter and fun of each person is beyond incomparable.
