as someone who is deathly afraid of math but somehow aced bascal in shs (??) ayoko na talaga mag calculus 💀 pero m21 is a subject of mine for the 2nd sem :’)

will this affect my gwa since i won’t get a grade for it? or should i just take another subject para makakuha ng grade if ever i do pass the ape?

lahat ng kaibigan ko na nagtake na ng m21 are saying na i should try kasi kamatayan raw talaga nila yung m21, help 💔

incoming bsba freshie here and mejo kinakabahan ako heh

i’m a STEM grad so honestly, i feel like i have little to no foundation in business-related subjects compared to others who came from ABM. i’m worried baka mahirapan ako makasabay, especially sa accounting, finance, and other business concepts.

(i really do love my program though, so don’t get me wrong hahaha, excited ako, pero super nervous lang talaga)

any tips for surviving as a bsba freshie coming from STEM? things I should study in advance? mindset i should have? habits that helped you?

+ would it be hard for me to shift to bsbaa sa 2nd year? or would i get delayed?

would really appreciate any advice 🥹

i got into upd and admu pero i feel so lost 🥲

upd is… well, upd. up na yon! ang hirap i-let go nun kasi sobrang laking opportunity and privilege na makapasok don. i’ve also slowly come to terms with the idea na baka up talaga yung path for me, especially kasi hindi ko nakuha yung scholarship na inaasahan ko from admu.

pero admu has always been my childhood dream. as in buong buhay ko, doon ko talaga nakikita sarili ko. ever since talaga, ateneo na yung future na iniimagine ko for myself. i even appealed for financial aid, pero until now wala pa ring response and today na yung confirmation deadline. and i can’t deny the fact na i feel so disappointed kasi i’ve spent the past 12 years working towards getting into ateneo.

mas mahirap pa kasi nung senior high, pinangako na sakin ng parents ko na papag-aralin nila ako sa ateneo. pero because of some bad financial decisions on their part recently, hindi na nila kayang tuparin yun. i’m trying my best to understand kasi alam ko naman life happens, pero i’d be lying if i said na hindi ako galit at nasasaktan.

i know this probably sounds bratty, parang nagrereklamo lang ako because hindi nasunod yung gusto ko, and i know na up is already such a huge blessing. pero ang hirap lang talaga i-let go nung what ifs at nung dream na buong buhay kong hinawakan.

has anyone else been in this situation? paano niyo hinarap yung choice between practicality and the dream you’ve always wanted? 🥲
