As we continue to navigate the ever changing tides of college, we find ourselves treading into deeper waters—particularly the kind where we drown in test papers and questionnaires. College Entrance Tests (CETs) are a staple in most colleges and universities in the Philippines, including Ateneo. Here are a couple of tips and tricks to guide you into being accepted to colleges inside and outside the country.

Alalahanin, Gunitain—Ang Ika-48 na Taong Pagtatanghal ng Sinta!
Alalahanin, gunitain—Ito ang tumatak sa isip ng lahat ng manonood sa katapusan ng ika-48 na taong pagtatanghal ng Dulaang Sibol ng kanilang dula, ‘Sinta!’ Itong huling palabas ay napuno ng lungkot at saya, dahil para sa ilang mga aktor, ito na ang kanilang huli—kumbaga isang huling regalo bago sila’y sumariling-landas.
The Different Shades of the Rainbow
Inside the umbrella of the LGBTQIA+ community is a world full of diverse individuals, each with their own way of self expression and sexuality. While many of us are still trying to establish a foothold of our identity, our journey of self-discovery will get easier knowing that there are different words and labels that seek to understand what we feel — plus, it wouldn’t hurt knowing a few words to stop us from accidentally hurting others.
Saint Spotlight: Ignatius of Loyola
As if the sound of gunpowder was enough to dissuade the soldier from moving yet another step, for Saint Ignatius this would just be the start of a journey of conversion, discernment, and self-discovery as he clamors for life and death in a war taking place in Pamplona, Spain in the 1500s. To the Atenean student, he may just be another lesson taught in school, but to the Jesuit world, he is a treasure.
Who Cares? Hopefully You Do
Today we greet with open arms the International Self-Care Day, which while as students we often mention as a cornerstone of surviving high school, is often an area of life that we find ourselves strongly lacking in. We have experienced it one way or the other—sleepless nights, going home late, and cramming projects, to name a few. We hold the banner of self-care high yet fall short on actually upholding self-care practices.
Take Care, ASHS!
The average Atenean school day features a plethora of school assignments, requirements, reportings and other tasks that demand a lot out of a student. As we weather through the many sleepless nights of the year, let us remind ourselves that in our pursuit of excellence, be it academic or otherwise, we should not forget to thank the body that has endured so much—take care, ASHS!
How Do You Unwind?
You lie in front of the doorstep—back tired from carrying the heavy burdens of everyday living, and your body is bruised and battered from the physical demands of the day. A warm welcome and a parent’s smile greets you as you make a beeline straight into your room. From then on, one question plagues your mind: “What now?”
The Her-story Behind Drag
You’ve seen them on television screens and across pride parades donning flashy gowns and dresses. These drag queens walk with elegance and perform with stunning finesse yet behind their colorful clothing is a long history of hatred and homophobia — and just as their stilettos have marched in the riots of Stonewall Inn, so too do they walk in the contemporary challenges of the LGBTQIA+ community.
A Long Road Ahead: Fatherhood
Today we honor the chivalrous father figures that have stood beside us — our fathers, step-dads, would-be-fathers, and for those that filled that role by being a father figure for others, regardless if they were biologically a father or not.
