Hanggang sa sunod sunod na siya.&quot;Villarosa belonged to the &quot;pandemic batches&quot; when she entered UP. In November 2020, her tweet about being a freshman in UP went viral. It read: &quot;Matalino &#x27;yung tingin ko sa sarili ko bago ako pumasok sa paaralaang &#x27;to.&quot;&quot;Ang nangyari noon is ang dami nang readings. So siyempre freshie, hindi sanay, naninibago sa ganoon and all,&quot; she recalled.&quot;&#x27;Yung mga prof ko naman, constructive naman sila magbigay ng criticism. Pero I guess pagpasok ko ng UP, doon ko na-realize na, &#x27;magiging mahirap dito, ang hirap mag-isip dito,&#x27;&quot; she added.<div>Balancing all at once</div>As someone who graduated with flying colors, Villarosa has been asked how she manages to create content and fulfill her duties as a student at the same time.She stressed the importance of budgeting time, admitting that content creation and school work can easily take up most of her schedule for herself, her friends, and her family.&quot;Medyo mahirap siyang pagsabayin pero kailangan mo lang talagang mag-budget ng oras,&quot; she said. &quot;Ang nagiging call lang non ay nakakapagbigay ka ng oras sa studies mo, sa work mo sa content creating.&quot;&quot;Siyempre [minsan] hindi ka nakakapagbigay ng oras for yourself, for your friends, for your special someone, and for your family.&quot;When asked to give advice to the upcoming students in UP, dubbed &quot;Iskolar ng Bayan,&quot; Villarosa mentioned the need to have an open mind and to be sensitive to others.&quot;Matutong makinig, matutong maging tao. Hindi mahirap maki-emphatize sa mga taong makakasalamuha niyo sa loob ng unibersidad,&quot; she said.&quot;&#x27;Yung talento natin, &#x27;yung kakayahan natin, &#x27;yung serbisyo natin, hangga&#x27;t maaari... ibigay natin &#x27;to para sa ibang tao,&quot; she added. &#x27;Parang ang pagpasok sa UP ay hindi lang tungkol sa atin. It&#x27;s also about other people.&quot;<div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/2024/8/8/upcat-2025-tips-how-to-ace-university-of-the-philippines-entrance-test-1348">UPCAT 2025 tips: How to ace University of the Philippines entrance test</a></div><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/2024/8/7/-no-way-but-up-this-up-graduate-once-failed-upcat-but-she-fought-for-her-dreams-1930">&#x27;No way but UP&#x27;: This UP graduate once failed UPCAT but she fought for her dreams</a></div>
