The Perfect College Buddy + Campus BDJ Giveaway!
>> Wednesday, June 13, 2012
I wasn't such a chic colegiala.
Now that I'm 26 and pretty much years away from the day I graduated, I can safely say that I ditched that day of midterms of recitation of Like a Molave for a weekend in Boracay with my parents and had a 3 for a midterm grade. I made up for it with my astonishing {yes, my professor was floored, she confessed} with a paper on F. Sionil Jose's Ermita that I still keep to this day. If I were to meet that girl that I was, I'd high five her and urge her to travel even more but maybe not miss so much tests ha ha.
While the rest of my classmates recited Like a Molave, I was in the middle of the sea in Boracay with my mom.
Looking back though, I wish that in my time, we had more options on organizers and planners. I remember having a red Hello Kitty planner {best I could do since there was nothing else} which I filled with post its, colored papers, magazine cutouts and tons of notes. I only had one brand that I wanted to use. It escapes me now but they were pretty smooth papers and the covers were all in neon. Other than that, there really wasn't so much to choose from so we all had to be creative and use our imagination for the dearth of the options.
Thankfully, when I started working, Viviamo Inc., has started to produce colorful and female-centric planners that we've all come to love, and has inspired tons of planner-makers to come up with their own:
Lucky are the college girls will be heading back to {or starting} university, because not only is the technology nowadays so on the side of students, there's also a student version of BDJ! That means, this planner will be able to help you navigate your way through crazy classes, multi-dependency projects, sem breaks, college socials, UAAP games, thesis nights and expenses, not to mention those days when you're having your period, too. I can't help but think how come this weren't in the market yet when I was in college?
Grade Tracker. I'm by no means a GC student {Grade-conscious, ha ha} but I made sure I passed all my subjects in college. Surely, grades aren't everything but employers look at how long you've been in college and how good you were in Logic {at least I do}. Ha ha.
Menstrual Tracker. So you know when not to join a swim trip {or bring tampons} and yes, practice safe sex if you already are into that.
Project Planner for that thesis or that big, big project you're leading.
Sem Break Plans. For that roadtrip with girlfriends!
In college, I actually climbed a mountain for our thesis and it was FUN!
And now, for the most fun part, Chronicles of Vanity and Viviamo Inc. is giving away 2 Campus BDJ Planners to two readers!

the most beneficial part of the planner, for me, would be the Grade tracker. I am so grade conscious.I always want to have an excellent grade. The Grade tracker would be a lot of help to see if i am doing good or bad in a subject.

The most important part of the BDJ Planner would be the Grade Tacker. I am actually an honor student and I need to check up my grades to make sure that i'm doing well and I want to continue these good grades I got last semester.

The most beneficial section of the Campus BDJ for me is the 'Sem Break Plans' cuz me and my friends loves to travel and explore new things during our break! I think that would be very helpful for me and to my beloved friends :)

The most beneficial to me is the Menstrual Tracker. I have an irregular period and I often forget to record or mark my calendar so I always get to surprise my skirt or uniform with blood stains without any spare napkin in my bag. I hope to win one so that I can always keep track of my cycle and finally say goodbye to surprise stains.
Thanks for this lovely giveaway!

It would be the Grade and Menstrual Tracker because I normally lost count of my menstrual days, it would be a great help if I won! :)
The section of the Campus BDJ that would be most beneficial to me is the Sem Break Planner because I looove going on trips and this would be the best way to plan ahead. With this on hand, I won't have to worry about where to go, what to do and buy aaannndd most importantly, I won't spend too much outside of the budget! Plus, connected with this is the Menstrual Tracker so that I know when to plan my trips! Campus BDJ is definitely a must-have and need for me! :D

The section of CAMPUS BDJ that would be most beneficial for me is the MENSTRUAL TRACKER.
Yes, you heard it right, Cus Im a low blood mammal. So when at times im into my thesis. Im the hell out of nowhere. I were stuck in the middle of the night. Though, I badly wanna sleep. Yes, I do. But the responsibility in me told me "Hey ara ! You should wake up and finish this" During those times I wasnt able to take my medicine and got me super nervous and tensed. When I looked at my Menstrual planner I was like "Oh My! Its been a 2 months since the last time I had " I was then panicked. And thought there are abnormalisms in me, Menstrual tracker helped me top determine and stay on track about my self. I thought i was ill and yes thanks to BDJ that helped me. After a week I already have it. And I was definitely happy and went normal again :)

The most beneficial part for me is the project planner because graduating students are required to defend their thesis in two parts: the proposal defense and final defense. We have also to juggle the thesis we are working for with our 13 subjects, mostly laboratory subjects.

for met it's the weekly pages, without it i wouldn't be able to keeo track of my deadlines and remember my appointments. especially in school, org stuffs, project deadlines and exam dates!
without every page of the campus belle de jour, i believe i would be lost in my everyday routine especially since there are so many things that i have to remember and consider everyday. from remembering to get my laundry in the laundry shop, to remembering that my toothbrush is so old already tha ti need to buy a new one, to birthday of my special loved ones :)

but if i were to chose from the grade, menstrual, project, sem break plans,
for me it would be the menstrual tracker.
surely i want to know if i am healthy and report anything to the doctor one there are any irregularities, since i am usually regular, i'd want to know if my menstruation is regular so that i'll know when it's time to buy napkins :)
no feeling is uglier than having your period without any napkin near you
