Meet Zoe Georgina, our Campus Crushie for September, and trust us, she’s every bit as charming as you’d expect. A Communication Arts student from National University, Zoe is the kind of girl who can turn an ordinary school day into a mini adventure. She’s the friend who’ll hype you up before an exam, the classmate who makes group projects feel like hangouts, and the seatmate whose bag is basically a treasure chest of makeup, lucky charms, and little essentials. With her easy laugh, OPM ballad playlist, and go-to red lipstick that screams confidence, Zoe is a crushie who’s got the looks and the right vibe.

When asked about her school must-haves, Zoe immediately points to her bag, her trusted companion that carries everything from books to makeup. Among the little treasures inside, one of the most meaningful items is a bracelet gifted by her mom, which she considers her lucky charm. “I wear it during exams and presentations,” she shares, “and it gives me the courage I need.” Alongside it is her phone, which she uses for filming and vlogging, and a fan she never forgets to bring in the heat of Manila. But the item that best captures her personality, she says, is her red lipstick—her symbol of strength and confidence. For Zoe, nothing feels better than stepping out with a spritz of her favorite perfume: “When I smell good, I feel good.”

Food is another love language for Zoe. She beams when talking about her go-to order: chow mein chicken and beef, a comfort meal that never fails to brighten her day. Her hangout spot of choice is the ever-cozy Pancake House, where she and her friends find time to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Campus life, for Zoe, is also filled with unforgettable moments like shooting a short film project that tested her skills and teamwork, or attending NU’s open day, where she enjoys welcoming incoming freshmen and sees a reflection of her younger self in their excitement.

Academically, Zoe admits that math has always been her weakness, joking that it has been her least favorite subject “ever since elementary.” But she finds passion and fulfillment in journalism, which aligns perfectly with her Communication Arts track. Her study style may sound simple, “just read your mind before exams and hope for the best, with a prayer to God,” but it’s her optimism that shines through. And even on the busiest days, you’ll likely find her retreating to the library, either catching up on readings or stealing a quick nap to recharge.

Zoe’s music playlist also reveals a softer side. With songs like Pusong Ligaw by Jona and Bakit Pa by Jessa Zaragoza on repeat, she confesses her love for heartfelt OPM ballads. “I’m really an all-nighter type of person,” she adds with a laugh, a student balancing the same late nights and long days that most of us know all too well.

With her natural charm, sincerity, and the way she carries herself with quiet confidence, it’s no wonder Zoe Georgina has captured the hearts of many. She’s someone who embodies passion, resilience, and the everyday joys of student life. And as she continues to carve her path in Communication Arts, Zoe proves that beauty, brains, and authenticity truly make a winning combination.
