Hello! Incoming 4th year BSA student here. So during first sem ng 3rd year, we had our Law 1 subject. I failed it. Every after semester, merong evaluation ang institute namin for our grades. AFAIK, once you had a failed grade sa program na to, tanggal ka na ang malilipat ka na ng BSMA. However, nung evaluation, the person who evaluated me was my previous professor in partnership and corp accounting and at the same time our department head. Hindi sa pagmamayabang pero I was an excellent student sa subject nya na yon haha! Then, when he reviewed my grades, he noticed na failed nga ako sa ObliCon.

He said,"Naku! magiging irreg ka nito."

Then, I just smiled and replied, "Yes po sir"

Tapos bigla nyang sinabi na papayagan nya akong magproceed sa BSA na kinagulat ko. He said na papayagan nya ako on the condition na dapat hindi na ako magkaron ng failed na grade. He also suggested na itake ko yung Law 1 for 4th year - 1st sem tapos Law 2 for 2nd sem and then summer ko raw itake yung Law 3 para makasabay ako sa mga kaklase ko na makagraduate.

At the time, sobrang saya ko. Now na naka-bakasyon, I think about it and iniisip ko na parang unfair. I was a BSMA before na pumasa sa qualifying exam kaya naging BSA but I had classmates na di nakalipat kahit decimal na lang yung difference to pass.

Also, do you all think na possible yung sinuggest ng professor ko na i-summer yung Law 3 considering na I have OJT for 2nd sem nyan?

Help me please :)

From the title itself, I feel like having a job while studying ruined me.

For context, growing up ako yung bata na icocompare ka ng magulang mo. This is not to brag ha. I every year since grade 1 lagi akong may honors. Kahit ngayong college, I was a dean's lister until 2nd year. Isa rin ako sa natirang 12 students from 30+ sa program namin na BS Accountancy.

I tried applying for jobs nung bakasyon after 2nd year and luckily I got a job. Basically, when first sem started, I already felt na exhausting talaga since 10pm-7am night shift then ang school sched ko paiba-iba ranging from 8am to 9pm.

A month after the start ng first sem, nagsimula na kong mag-absent sa school. I missed classes sa major subs either dahil nakatulog ako or I'm too tired to attend. Comes finals, yun na yung turning point. I wasn't diagnosed but I think I got depressed or maybe naburn out lang.

I remember pa na nag-motor taxi ako going to work and since gabi na usually marami nang truck sa daan. I would look at those trucks tas biglang papasok sa isip ko,"God, kahit light accident lang so I can have an excuse and rest." This thought was so consistent even kapag papunta ako ng school. I would look at the people inside the jeep and think,"Would God allow na may mangyaring masama sa mga taong to? Are we going to be in an accident?"

During lunch sa work, I would go to our building's rooftop and just look at the city lights silently. I'm not even gonna use my phone for an hour straight.

Comes finals ng first sem, there was this time na meron kaming recitation on our law subject. The class was at 2:30pm-5:30pm and I woke up at around 3:30. I knew na if I got ready and went, aabutan ko pa yung professor namin and he'll allow me to recite even if natawag na ako prior to me arriving but I didn't go.

I remember looking at our clock. It was so silent. I was alone at home and just deadass looking at our wall clock. I looked at my phone and saw several missed calls and messages from my classmates and friends (I didn't reply to any of them). I just stayed silent looking around the room and our ceiling until dumilim.

Fast forward to releasing of grades, I passed all my subs except that law subject na hindi ko inattendan. I don't regret not going to that class even if that recitation costed me 30% of my grade and failing that class. I received the first failed grade in my entire life and I felt nothing when I saw it. I didn't tell my parents. I didn't even want to tell my friends kase alam kong magwoworry sila(I still told them haha).

Now, I'm looking back at that time. Did I just chicken out that time kaya di ako nag attend ng class since recitation yun and I didn't study? Was it worth it? Would I have given up my life if I forced myself that time? Was I just too greedy sa pera to give up my classes?

Whenever I go out with my friends they bring up graduation and that topic leads to me graduating with them. Now that I think about it, was my salary worth me getting delayed na makatapos?

I'm much better now compared to before but I still think about what would have changed if I went to that one class.

Hi, I'm currently an accountancy student and currently working part-time as a customer service rep for a company but I want to try working as a bookkeeper. I had a specialization for bookkeeping back in high school and I want to know whether I can do actual bookkeeping jobs. What is it like working as a bookkeeper? What are the complex stuff about bookkeeping? Can you show me entries or part of the work that makes it hard?

Few days ago, my groupmates and I submitted our research proposal to our instructor. He gave it back to us, telling us to revise and have it reviewed by our research adviser. We asked why, and he showed us that Turnitin flagged our work as 85% AI and 13% Plagiarized. I know for a fact that we did it ourselves, as we did it together for weeks. Now, we're required to submit a Turnitin certificate for our final paper. Otherwise, we won't pass. The school doesn't even have a Turnitin subscription.
