I Can Take You To Dinner, But I Can’t Take You Home
My therapist has continuously drilled into my head that there is a difference between the reality I continue to imagine and what the reality actually is. However, I still cannot get it out of my head. Others may see it as a choice but I see it as an eventuality. Regardless of how many detours I will take in my journey, I will still arrive at that same destination. Be a man and get on with it. I’m grown enough to know that I have to do it, but I can’t just turn off my emotions and keep a stone cold face whenever I encounter a mind-altering life event. Perhaps there are better days ahead of me, and maybe I will find the answers, but for now I will just keep my head down and focus on the next tasks that I have to do.
SOLARES PUGSANAY 2026
Appointments, by-default wins, and a sheer lack of candidates appear to be common trends whenever May rolls around for Societatis Lingua Artes (SOLARES), the election season for the mother co-curricular organization of the Department of Communications, Linguistics and Literature of University of San Carlos. This had reportedly been the norm since 2024, and the last true elections conducted for SOLARES were for the academic year 2022-2023, where K-Jay Remoto, one of three key initiators of DCLL's capstone event Sulyap sa Sining, emerged victorious. Since then, SOLARES elections embodied a process quite unlike the democratic nature of elections. This brings about a question that must trouble the department more deeply: if no one steps forward, who exactly are DCLL supposed to vote for?
