Good day sa lahat! I just want to ask ano commute options ko from Malinta, Valenzuela to Xentro Mall Malolos, Bulacan? Also ilang hours to get there? May passport appointment po kasi ako and that day din me mismo kukuha birth cert sa Malinta. Kaya naman siguro if 7 AM PSA ko sa Val and 10 AM pa for Passport sa Malolos. Thank you so much sa sasagot!
Hello po. I just wanted to share this here because I feel like my sentiments might resonate with some people in this community.
I'm currently a DOST-ASTHRDP scholar pursuing my master's degree at one of the top universities in the country. I failed two subjects in my comprehensive exam, and recently, I've been feeling completely burned out. Lately, I've been questioning if this path is really for me.
To be honest, I'm not even sure if I want to pursue a career in academe after finishing this degree. Aside from dealing with overwhelming imposter syndrome, I constantly feel like I don't know what I'm doing. It's hard to feel like I truly belong in this field. Most days, it feels like I'm just trying to survive rather than actually learn and grow.
I have a presentation coming up. My PowerPoint is done, my script is ready, but I just can't seem to find the motivation to practice or move forward. I feel mentally and emotionally exhausted.
Will I eventually get the hang of this? Will the spark come back? My plan has always been to return to the industry and build my career there, but right now I just feel stuck. If I weren't bound by the scholarship, I honestly think I would have chosen a different path by now. I know I have responsibilities to fulfill, but it's been really difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Has anyone else gone through something similar during their master's? Did things eventually get better? Did you regain your motivation and confidence? Or is this just a normal part of the journey that I have to push through? Thank you in advance!
