Cosmetic Science in UAL

I took a three months internship in UAL, London. I developed a project in the cosmetics area through my Erasmus Program. I'm just glad I took this opportunity because it was a lifetime experience. UAL is a great university and London College of Fashion is a great college. The course Cosmetic Science should be more recognised because it is really interesting.

Experience in UCB

y time in UCB has been one of the most memorable and precious parts of my teen life. It was where I experienced so many firsts—new friendships, challenges, and moments that shaped who I am today. Every day brought something new to learn, not just in the classroom, but about life, people, and myself. UCB became more than just a place to study—it was a space where I grew, laughed, stumbled, and stood back up. Those years will always hold a special place in my heart, a chapter filled with growth and unforgettable memories. uring my time as a senior high student at the University of Cebu Banilad campus, I learned how to be flexible and adaptable. Balancing academics, responsibilities, and personal life wasn’t always easy, but it taught me the value of time and resilience. Along the way, I met new friends who stood by me through every high and low. They’ve become some of the people I treasure the most, turning ordinary days into unforgettable ones. With them, I discovered not just how to manage life, but how to enjoy it fully—even in the busiest moments.
