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. The remarks are often sexist and that tweet of mine showed that I managed to balance play and work. Just because you’re “having fun” doesn’t mean you’ll forget your responsibilities as a student,” Surima told Cebu Daily News.
