Hi, everyone. I’m a 2nd-year AB Psych student here in DLSU-D, and I’ve reached a point where I’m just surviving rather than actually learning. I’m posting this because I need to vent, but also because I need advice from anyone who has shifted or is currently in CBAA.

I loved Psychology since I was young. I can say that I'm really emotionally intelligent. I’m very in tune with human behavior as well. But honestly the course is exhausting me. It feels like every research subject is attacking me with heavy coursework and academic writing. I’m about to be a 3rd year, and the thought of having two research subjects per semester is actually terrifying. I love all psych subjects pero yung research lang talaga kasi. But you literally can't separate research from psych, of course.

I realized also that loving psychology conceptually and surviving the actual academic structure/coursework and academia of psychology are two very different things, and I'm mourning this so bad.

Here’s the part I’m most ashamed of din kasi, I have a huge gap in my foundations. I was homeschooled from Grade 6 to Grade 10, and if I’m being 100% honest, I wasn't honed in math and research back then.

I came from a homeschooling background starting Grade 6, and honestly my math and research foundations became horrible because of it. I feel super behind compared to other students. Even basic mental math is difficult for me sometimes and I rely heavily on calculators. That’s why I’m also scared of the business/math subjects in Marketing Management.

I didn't retain anything. To this day, I can’t do mental math (I need a calculator for simple stuff), and academic writing feels like a foreign language to me, even if mas familiar siya now dahil sa course ko.

I’m looking at shifting to BSBA Marketing Management (Integrated Marketing Communications/MarComm). My goal in life isn't to be employed forever kasi, I want to save up and eventually franchise businesses just like my family. My mom says "sayang" naman if Psych ako ngayon tapos hindi ko naman mama-maximize 'yung buong academic road. But I have no intention of getting a Master's and a doctorate degree, more thesis work, more research, to become a registered psychologist. I've left that dream long ago na. I just wanna finish college and get a degree.

But I'm worried about a lot;

1. The math. I saw subjects like Accounting Concepts, Theories, & Principles, Business Math, , Fundamentals of Analytics, Pricing Strategy, and Taxation. Is it all heavy math? Can I survive if I'm literally dependent on a calculator? Hopefully the math in this course is atleast tool based such as using excel and calculators
2. Starting over!! I’m terrified of shifting. I have a solid group of 3 friends in Psych who have been my backbone since 1st year, nd our teamwork/chemistry is honestly one of the main reasons I survived college this far. Leaving them to be an irreg, lonely (Hope not if I actually decide to shift) student in CBAA scares the hell out of me.
3. The research. I heard MarComm theses are group-based. AFAIK it's more creative/application heavy than the academic/journal-style research in Psych, kasi if so, I'd survive, since I survived heavy research in psych.

Ive already cleared most of my GEs (MMW, Ethics, RIZAL, etc.), so I’m halfway through the minor subjects. I literally have 2-3 GE subjects left nalang

To my fellow Lasallians, Psych majors, MarComm majors, or students from CBAA, Please help me out. Should I just hold on and finish Psych even if it burns me out, or is MarComm a better fit for someone who wants to enter business but is scared of numbers?

Any advice would mean the world to me right now. Thank you so much 🙏

Sorry for posting in a wrong subreddit pero di kasi allowed magpost sa sub ng DLSHSI huhu.

Puro good comments nakikita ko about HSI. Di kaya ng trust issues ko...

hi! incoming bsba-mm freshman, looking for friends para may kasama sa freshman week HAHAHAHAHA ^^

Hi! Incoming BSIT freshman here. STEM student me kaya I'm not familiar sa programming at ibang IT-related subjects (dito din ako nag SHS). I wanna advance study sana before mag-start ang classes para hindi ako mahirapan mag-adjust (tinakot ako ng kaibigan ko na 1st day palang gagawa agad ng calcu). Around June 1st me will study since May need pa ako tapusin this May + vacation with family.

Ano pong mga topics like programming languages or skills ang magandang unahin aralin? Nalilito ako since I'm the type of person na need ng straight plan or path to follow when studying. Kumbaga specific lessons gusto ko. Any YouTube channels, websites, or tips for beginners would really help. Thank you!

Helloo! I’m fromm APL, onlyy wanted to be acquainted with incoming froshies likee me !

Hey everyone,

I just finished taking the DSAT today. After the exam, I realized I made a mistake while typing in my Application ID. I accidentally added an extra "0"

The guidelines in the portal state that retaking the DSAT is not permitted, and I'm worried my scores won't be linked to my account properly when they are released

Has anyone dealt with this before? Is there a way to get this corrected administratively? Do I need to visit the admissions office in person, or will an email be enough?

Any advice or experiences would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
