Double Degree? Double The Fun!
Meet Steffi, a Communication Arts and Advertising Management student. :)
A: First of all, what are you hobbies?
S: Playing volleyball, watching movies and series, at kumain!
A: So you plan to graduate with a double degree. Between your two majors, what do you want to pursue?
S: Advertising, because it is more in demand. But given a chance, I would want to work on a media company.
A: Did you had a hard time on choosing this degree? Is this what you really intended to pursue in college?
S: Our family is more on the business side, Business Management in specific. Gusto ko rin naman ‘yung Communication Arts kasi medyo ganoon din ‘yung ate ko. So I kind of find that Advertising is the in between of Business Management and Communication Arts.
A: Advertising is a pretty large field of work. In specificity, in what area would you like to focus on?
S: Commercial!
A: Why?
S: ‘Pag nanunuod kasi ako ng mga commercial, nag-s’struck agad sa akin such as the words and products. Hindi naman ako magaling sa commercial kaya ‘yun ‘yung gusto kong matutunan.

A: Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the Commerce side of your degree, let’s now go with your Liberal Arts degree. What is your favorite subject in Communication Arts?
S: Film and photography!
A: What is your favorite movie?
S: Nothing in particular, but the genre I love the most is RomCom!
A: Same! Why?
S: Gusto ko kasi ‘yung balance between the two. I don’t like if pure romance only. I enjoy the flavor of RomCom.
A: What do you think are misconceptions towards students in the Liberal Arts courses?
S: “Madali lang ‘yan!” “Puro lang kayo letters, wala namang numbers.”
S: All courses are hard, iba’t iba lang ng classes of difficulty.
A: What are your plans after graduation? Do you want to apply immediately or rest for a while?
S: Sayang oras kaya hanap agad, in demand ang mga frosh!
A: To end this interview, what is the thing that you are looking forward to about your course?
S: I love the creativity in the Arts. I may not have Advertising subjects yet, but I’m excited on the close relation of the two. I would also want to integrate the things that I’ve learned in my LIA degree to my COM degree!
