I really can't anymore with this. For context, I am a freshie and I'm a student studying in a private school in Cebu, won't name drop lang. I chose this school because the program I am in is only being offered in few schools lang.

And oh my god, papuntang 3rd week na kami and we have yet to try to meet with our profs or be in a classroom setting. I haven't even met with my classmates 😂. Puros online lang and I don't get why.

Even orientations are online like what? Ang mahal ng tuition yet ganto sila lol. I'm jealous of other schools because yung first week nila is full of fun activities, literal na welcoming the freshies, para kaming nag seminar lang sa amin. And don't even get me started sa classes. Mga minor subjects namin is fully online because yung mga profs is either teaching sa other schools or base sila sa ibang lugar. Pero I really cannot believe na pati yung major subjects namin ay mostly if not always online. I do not know why. Basta yung alam ko yung mga prof namin ay based sa Zamboanga, Iloilo, etc. Pwede ba yun??💀💀 Mapapa question ako kung saan aabot yung 60k+ tuition ko lol! Kainis. Kung ganto sila e nasa province nalang ako nag o-online class, hindi na magdorm.

For a school that relies heavily on online classes, the wifi is so bad. As in. Yung grabe ang pagyayabang nila na top medical school sila pero ganto pala yung style nila haha. To be honest, I really do not see myself thriving in this type of environment and the chances of transferring are high lol.

HELP, merong BBM scholarship wherein bawat baranggay may 20k cash assistance sa piling 5 upcoming 3rd and 4th year college students.

Isa ako sa napili. Nareceive ko na yung akin pero i saw some posts na unfair daw kasi wala daw inannounce ang baranggay tapos may bigayan na agad pala. Wala naman akong kaclose sa baranggay pero not to brag, I'm very well known sa neighborhood namin as the smart kid. So I guess naguilty yung nagtatrabaho sa baranggay na kilala ako kasi binigyan nya list of requirements yung kamaganak nya pero ako na mas deserving hindi mabibigyan ng chance. I'm pretty sure di lang naman 5 ang pinili nila kasi may mga friends ako na nag pasa din pero di napabilang sa 5 grantees. Pero yun nga NO ANNOUNCEMENTS ang baranggay about that. So most probably may mga students sa baranggay namin na di nakaalam about dun at nagulat nalang sila na releasing na. Honestly, di ko din malalaman na may ganon na pala sa baranggay if di nila ako binigyan ng list of requirements eh. Bakit di nalang sila naging transparent? Madudumihan pa pangalan ko. Pwede ba tong ibalik at ulitin ang proseso nang fair at walang kahit anong support. I'm confident naman na mapipili parin ako eh.

What should I do now that i know what i know? Nagiging corruption is not bad if I'm involved ang atake ko jusko po. I don't want dirty money!!!

I really don't know who to turn to anymore. I badly need help looking for scholarships that don't base solely on your parent's yearly income.

Its scholarship opening season, and almost every scholarship I see is not something I'm qualified for dahil it surpasses the limit. My parent's income might look big on paper, but in reality, malaki ang deduction because of loans, taxes, bills, and monthly hospital trips. Marami rin silang dependents. Kaya they can't support me sa college. I'm fortunate enough to not need a dorm, since colleges and unis are close.

The safest option others say is the DOST scholarship, but to be honest, I don't meet their requirement😭😭😭 I don't come from a STEM strand (HUMSS student here, pero STEM-related ang course sa college), nor do I belong in the top 5% (kinapos nang kaonti).

I'm not looking for scholarships that give out a huge stipend, just enough to get by lang. The adults aren't really a big help, because kahit kanino ako magtanong (including teachers), and the internet can't help me find one.

EDIT: If it helps, the nearest colleges are private schools (RIP wallet), and the only one state u is UP, which I am still unsure if I will get in.

Hello po, I just want to ask how is the PUP system when it comes to OJT? Do we have the chance to choose the company/organization/place for our OJT? If yes, is it possible to do it in the province po?

4th year na, and enrolled na po. From PUP Main Campus po ako and COED Department.

My reasons are:

• Wala pa akong matitirhan sa manila, some of u may suggest to rent a dorm. Unfortunately, we don't have enough money to do so. Sa ilang years po kasing pags-stay ko sa Manila ay nahirapan po talaga ako. Lalo na now na both seniors na po parents ko at need nila ng makakasama.

• One of my cousins offer me the place/school where to possibly conduct my OJT po, and yes accepting pa rin sila. Although observation pa lang naman po at wala pang teaching practice talaga pero I just want to ask for experienced people po or nakapag-ojt na (especially if under ng teaching field).

Any thoughts po, pls.

Hi, Im 17M and I wanna share my experience with my Emtech teacher during one of her sessions. Prev months before I graduated SHS, I had this teacher na medyo strict, overly sensitive, hypocrite and kind of bipolar, she also practice favoritism and mostly sa mga students na 'yon were undeniably pretty, what I mean is no matter how competent and smart you are sa subject niya (which I confidently believe na isa ako sa nag eexcell), if u're not conventionally attractive, you would never get her favor. One time, nagpprepare siya ng laptop niya before she starts her discussion and at the same moment, I had an inquiry in my mind which I ended up sharing with my seatmate (hindi malakas yung boses namin). She called us out and sinagawan pa kami ng malakas na 'ambastos' daw namin as if walang teacher sa harap. Alam ko naman na hindi malakas yung usapan namin and her stunts was unnecessary, oa lang talaga siya. Just moments later, she used a sentence as an example for her discussion saying "Sino Yung Maingay? Ah, yung matangkad na panget" IK she didnt name anyone but Im sure she's referring to me kasi wala naman siyang ibang pinagalitan kundi kami. Tama po ba 'yon? Tama ba na manggaling mismo 'yun sa isang guro? IK Im not good looking and Im insecured af abt my appearance, why is it so easy for ppl to ruin someone's confidence? Its not like I commited a huge sin for her to shame me. Nakaka trauma yung experience na 'yon bc napahiya ako. As if naman perfect siya, hindi nga siya makapag diet, pero kung makapag comment sa appearance ng iba, akala mo pinagpala sa lahat.

Anw teacher siya sa Catmon sta maria hs. That's all.

Hello po im a college studnet ipon kopo since june is 3000 palang hehe and im planning to buy camera bago mag november bili bako or ipunin ko nalang😅

For context, im a scholar in a private univ. It’s only been a few weeks since we started and im starting to feel overwhelmed and scared of failing. Mataas kasi ang quota na need to keep my scholarship and im worried that I wont be able to keep it 😞 idk if my family can afford paying for the expensive tuition if i ever lost my scholarship. I know i should be thankful bc im in a univ that people dream of getting into but idk i deserve this. I’ve just been feeling so stressed lately. Do you have any advice for getting good grades or just dealing with this pressure in general? Especially if ur a scholar too 🥹

hello, im a first year college student currently taking bs biology. ever since high school, nasaay ako na nagccram and tamad mag-aral. bakit? kasi pumapasa naman ako don. but i dont think magwowork pa yon this college, that's why i need some tips kung paano ko mapupush through ang sarili ko para mag-aral at sipagan. hindi na gumagana sakin yung motivations like para sa pera, para yumaman, or para sa pamilya kasi i'm genuinely tired. tyia

I don’t know why, it has been a genuine struggle for me ever since I was a kid. I’ve fallen asleep in almost all my classes in high school with no explanation.

I get the right amount of sleep, I’m energized throughout the day, but I’m asleep during classes. Any other day that isn’t a school day, I’m awake.

And its not that the class is boring either, some if not most of my classes are pretty interesting.

Genuinely thinking of getting myself checked up for something mental, maybe ADHD or narcolepsey or smthg else.

Any tips to stay awake?

hello! mag-ccollege na 'ko next year, and i was wondering kung kaya ba ang pag-aim sa running for dean's lister/magna/summa cum laude nang may trabaho, organization, social, and life balance?

aiming kasi ako sa abovementioned latin honors while also planning na magka-sideline for funds (not sure yet kung ano, most likely freelancing), org. (journalism), and outside acads life (hobbies, gala, etc.). balak ko ring mag-dorm, so (hopefully) mas marami akong time sa sarili ko.

would love your honest opinions and suggestions on this, thank you in advance!

(With specific program asking)

If you Graduated and you want to take second degree and is it possible to have two years or you need to repeat again in first year?

Additionally you need to take four years?

Like I'm taking Bachelor Science in Hospitality Management then after I graduated, I'm thinking to take it's either the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Financial Management or Marketing Management, vice versa from BSBA FM/MM to BSHM (if you know what I mean in a deeper level.)

And if I'm taking the same school in that two courses, will I going to take two years only? And if I transfer suddenly to other school but I'm in a middle of one year to my second degree, Will I repeat it again to first year?

Diko sure but BA Communications kase napaka-versatile daw yon sabe. Asking this for my younger step-sissy dislikes STEM but very creative.

Hi! I’m an incoming freshman for University of Santo Tomas (UST) in my second dream school and first dream program sa asian studies. I plan if ever tuition fee is becoming a concern or hindi nagreresonate sakin environment, I will be shifting to upd especially since first dream school ko siya talaga🫶 my only concern is pang masterals lang yung program na asian studies sa up. I was wondering if which similar programs with similar curriculums I could shift to, so I won’t be held back for a year. I wondered if may pwede ako itake na ladderization because my only concern lang with transferring is being held back a year kasi hindi ako papayagan ng parents ko lumipat if nadelay ako for 1 year kasi mag lalawschool pako. Aside from my first question, process ng transferring sa upd or requirements and would that remove me sa laude like magna/summa/cum? Thank you🥹 and God bless

Univ starts in 3 days and I want to ask tips on how i socialize without feeling awkward (as someone that is "introverted by nature") 😅

I want to start anew as I am too used to people approaching me. How can i get along with people even if it’s our first time interacting? What conversation starters should I do or use? tyia!
