Student’s tweet on getting her diploma goes viral

Photo grabbed from the Facebook account of Danica Jane Surima

For fresh college graduate Danica Jane Surima, a student can always balance having fun and obtaining a diploma.

Surima’s tweet, which showed photos of her in a party and in school, gained over 4,000 retweets and more than 40,000 likes.

The post went viral since Friday (June 29).

“I made that tweet because a lot of people have a lot of things to say about drinking and partying, especially if you’re a girl.

A native of Ormoc City, Surima graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication from the University of the Philippines (UP) Cebu last June 27.
