A 7-minute video featuring UP students and graduates talking about what life was like as a freshman is going viral

MANILA, Philippines – Students and graduates from the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman went on an online nostalgia trip this week, after the University Student Council UP Diliman posted a video on their Facebook page to “welcome” incoming freshmen to the university. 

The 7-minute video features UP students and graduates talking about what life was like as a freshman. As of posting, the video has 388 “likes,” 603 shares, and 37 comments. Immediately after the video was released, netizens took to Twitter to share their own experiences — this time, using the hashtag #NoongFreshieAko (when I was a freshman). 

Since the hashtag caught on in the microblogging site, graduates and students from other universities have jumped on the #NoongFreshieAko bandwagon. Here are the best tweets we’ve seen so far:
