As we are all enjoying the not-so-freshness of a new semester and anticipating the popular masquerade that is familiar with every LASUite, some of us have decided to live life as it is the only one we’re said to have, but that doesn’t change the fact that every soul will taste the servings of LIDC, whether you like it or not.
If you have forgotten what you did during the exams, here are some tips to prevent shocks and prepare your mind for the almighty masquerade's grand entry soon.
1. Never predict a course’s result: Some LASUites have the attitude of always predicting their results ahead of the release of the results. Often than not, some of these results end up being otherwise, even if the eventual result isn’t that bad, but conditioning your mind to that perfect score is setting you up for a shocker.
2. Always check every result: No matter the level of scholarly feat attained, always check your result to confirm that there are no errors to be corrected. If you don’t check it, you may never find out until all results have been uploaded and all corrections made by then; it might be too late to correct it. Sope oti lo
3. Always have a full belly: Going into the den of LIDC requires utmost strength to return with your complete body. This time, we’re talking mentally, psychologically, and, in some extreme cases, physically. Make sure you have eaten to satisfaction, even after seeing your results, and if’s otherwise, and every tiny bit of appetite has left you, you will be filled anyway.
4. Be optimistic: LIDC serves delicious food sometimes, so brace yourself up to receive the meal with many thanks. Having an optimistic mind goes a long way in reducing the shocks LIDC drags along. When you counterattack the thought of LIDC with optimism, the result will be nothing but bliss.
5. Check results in private: Make sure you are alone when checking your results to avoid pity faces and sad reactions. There have been cases of people in a concert or party actively refreshing the LIDC portal. What do you think you’re trying to do? You tell us, how do you think that story will end? You’ll see your result now and spoil your fun; at least nobody will record your reaction and post it everywhere. That way, you’re saving yourself the shock of going viral because of one course that decided to go south.
6. Seek an extra eye: This is another perfect way to bypass the shock LIDC usually serve. You can always ask a trusted alternative eye to help you check your result; this way, the shock is not directly targeted at you and by the time you feel the impact, the shock will have subsided.
We hope these few tips shall serve as shock absorbers for LIDC, and we believe we are all prepared to receive the grand entry of LIDC, hoping it will bring about laughter and happiness.
