Culmination: One Ace, Three Hearts
College Days 2024 was something foreign to the ears of the liberals, marking a celebration of independence and unity, the ascendance of three colleges. Three consecutive Wednesdays were designated for each college, culminating on March 6, 2024, when liberals from all three colleges convened to celebrate and unleash their inner child. This event wasn't solely about revealing the strongest deck but also about honoring the individuality of liberals.
The surprise for liberals began during registration in the afternoon, where the first ( ) received a complimentary treat from the invited food cart. Various activities ensued, including the renowned college feud, creative parlor games, spirited debates showcasing wit, and a challenging scavenger hunt. Yet, the festivities were far from over; they were just beginning. The competition continued with a boodle fight, tasking each of the three colleges with designing their own spread. Afterwards, all liberals shared in the feast they had prepared, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie.
The iconic "pabitin," a nostalgic symbol of childhood, took center stage, but with a creative twist. Instead of candies or toys, it featured an adult edition, reflecting the needs of college students living far from home in dorms or boarding houses. The items adorning the pabitin were carefully selected essentials, including soap, canned goods, oral hygiene products, and shower necessities. What a delightful surprise, indeed!
The bunch of activities concluded with the trademark ice cream party of CLASS, yes, ice cream for everyone! Liberals flocked and fell in line for their share of ice cream, it was a sight to behold because it signifies that no matter how much we age, no one can say no to ice cream, it is indeed timeless. This portion of the event was the most awaited by everyone.
As the sun kissed the horizon, bidding farewell and making way for the starry night, the Liberal’s Night and Awarding Ceremony began. Various decks vied for the coveted spot of the Ace, yet amid the excellence displayed by the College of Culture, Arts, and Sports (CCAS), the College of Law, Public Governance and Safety (CLPGS), and the College of Computing, Artificial Intelligences and Sciences (CCAIS), only one emerged victorious—the College of Law, Public Governance and Safety (CLPGS).
While only one could claim the title of Ace, the participating colleges remained the beating heart of the event, representing the essence of the CLASS. Liberals stood as the core, the reason for existence, and the pursuit of excellence. Although only one college secured the Ace award, every participant emerged as a victor.
