CASimanwas Prelims GIF Challenge is a social media activity created by Mr. Matthew Dave Nangalay. CAS students joined the challenge by downloading the GIF Sheet from the Google Drive link provided at the CPU Province or Art and Sciences Student Council Facebook Page, and adding it to their FB stories with the corresponding GIFs of their choice for the four questions, “mood this prelims”, “ganap before prelims”, “go-to food while studying” and “plans after prelims”.

During prelims week, a lot of students are more focus on their exams and busy with their studies. That is why the CAS student council was very eager to know what the students are up to. A little bit of fun and social media interaction was widely participated by the students of CPU.

Alessandra Mae Galilea, a board member of PASSC, said, “The CASimanwas Prelims GIF Challenge somehow created an expectation for me. I was able to have something to look forward to, especially after I finish all of my exams. The challenge was quite fun and entertaining in a way that it somehow took away the pressure and negative thoughts I was thinking just before the challenge was released. Prelims were a little bit stressing, for the reason that it was not only the prelim exams that I was thinking about. I had other things in mind: how to budget my allowance, council work, how to get up and start studying, and the most disturbing one, my personal problems.”

This challenge is a fun way of releasing the pressure of the exams. By doing that challenge they created a plan on what to do during and after exams which they share in their social media and could really help and reach more students of CPU to join in the CAS activities.
