XVI. Featured OOFAN
Name: Rj Capucao
Graduation Year: 2014
Degree: BA in History with also a Pre-Health Track
About: I’m an INFJ, and I consider my superpowers to be my will-power and empathy. I’m awkward incarnate with many quirks. I apparently act like a ten-year old and look like a junior in high school—when I shave. I have never ridden a roller coaster due to my dire fear of heights. I excel at sorcery and the arcane arts and hope to revitalize the Mongolian Horde.
What did you do post-grad: I’ve been on my gap year soul-searching, crossing things off the bucket list, and fulfilling prereqs for grad school—formerly physician assistant school. Recently, I changed my mind months ago to pursue a PhD in Nursing History after much contemplation, and I plan on applying for accelerated BSN and MSN programs and heading back to school next year. I also work full time for a company, Paradigm Inc., doing office work. If you’re graduating this year, I’m probz touching your diploma before you haha.
Favorite OYFA Memory: Being someone profoundly stuck in the past, there are so many memories, I can’t really choose. I can say though that these memories were possible from some of my best and genuine friends: my best friend Alex, 4th Year Harem, Chinese Family, BURMA, A&A, Rose, and DABs. Thanks for all the nostalgia! <#
Advice: Don’t stress yourself about your major or the future and your potential mid-life crisis. Everything works itself out in the end. The goal of life is to be content and love yourself: do you (unless you’re a pedo, then pls don’t’). If you can do that, everything else will come easy. Enjoy the time you have now, but always try your best in all your endeavors. Struggles are your worst and best friends, but you always come out a more wholesome person: “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” Feel free to hit me up for advice and what-nots; I’m always willing to lend an ear!
