Going into college with a "as long as I pass " mind set ?

Hello, I wanna get the perspective of people who have or had this approach in college. I've heard horror stories about how hard college is (it is) and how grade means very little in the actual workplace. Lowkeydokey I really don't wanna bust my ass for something that may boost me just a little. Ano sa tingin ninyo?

How our school manages a threat

This happened recently lang and I need thoughts and opinions kasi d ako makatulog thinking about it. It started as a conversation between a personal account and a shared account on ig tapos nag send ng picture yung personal account ng AI photo ng kaklase nya kasama yung students responsible sa recent school shooting in Tacloban. Tapos nag reply yung shared account na “Next school shooting sa (name ng school?” And the picture of the conversation spread like wildfire. In a single night kumalat na sa buong school namin (our school has a rough estimate of 10,000) students kaya ang laking issue sa school namin. After the students got news of it may mga iba na nag sabi na sa mga parents nila at napagusapan na sa parents gc, most of them siding na mag online class nalang pero at the end pinapapasok padin ang students and ang official statement lang ng school is “We will tighten security around the campus”. After everything that’s been happening to schools around the Philippines hindi ba nakakatakot na may threat na and papapasukin padin?

Unmedicated ADHD and college, am I doomed? 😭

Hi, I just wanna say that I think I'm highkey doomed with college because of my debilitating condition.

For starters, I have the typical symptoms and such: hyperactivity, easily getting bored/distracted, insomnia/irregular sleep schedule, and impulsiveness to name a few. I especially have a hard time getting focused or interested (Even then, I have terrible retention, I literally forgot the stuff I studied from Highschool and elem 🥀🥀). I can also go on procastinate for hours and, all in all, it's hell😭.

I'm not even smart nor creative, like I don't have photographic memory or savant-like abilities... I've heard how vastly differend college life to SHS is. Maybe I'm too much of doomer but I'm so afraid of how hard I'll fail with this condition, especially in UP. I have heard the horror stories of that university and how and I quote: "it will drain your soul." If neurotypicals/smarties are already struggling, how about me huhu...

I can't even get treatment or medication at the moment. Scheduling and costs are a pain (says lot about this country tbh). I've been badly needing it for long, even if I get treatment, it's not like I get miraculously cured and may even conflict with my class schedules... Right now I'm trying to mitigate it by using reminders, timers, sticky notes, routines, etc. But I don't know if it is even enough or if it does anything. I am so scared for the future.

Inang bagong shs curriculum nato

Di ko talaga gets yung deped, gusto Nila bawasan Ang academic pressure yet mag gagawa sila ng bagong curriculum that feeds into that pressure. I’m not against pressure I actually think it’s good to have a little pressure to motivate me to study pero grabe natong bagong curriculum nato. I hate tri semesters sm. Na para bang test subject yung henerasyon ko at MAs lala pa is old shs na strand based yung gamit ng school tapos yung trimester yung finafollow. Bhie apaka pressure nito halos wala ng mga naka pasa sa quiz at summative exam graded. Like alam ko naman e prepare ako sa college nito pero swear tfg if di ganto yung college ma bwewesit talaga ako.

Taking a gapyear due to mental illness

Helloo I just want to rant po with my experiences. I was diagnosed with a severe mental illness and anxiety very mahirap siya sa pagiging future nurse. Very shy ako with my patients and I struggle with anxiety sa mga procedures . My teachers recommend na ma gap year muna ako to take care of my mental health and I accepted it pero problema is I am starting to regret it and I cannot take it back kay nakasign na ako papers na ma leave 1 year. I feel sad na hindi na ako makasabay sa batchmates ko and takot man ko na ma delay pa and I can not graduate sa nursing. Passion ko maging nurse pero and hirap kay may anxiety ako kaya mahirap maggawa nang procedures.

Need ko'ba mag pa lipat, sa ibang section, because I have the same classmate for 3 years

Madaldal naman ako at nakikipag communicate pero need ko'ba dahil halos wala na'ng growth sa mga kaklase ko at may kanya kanya silang mga standard which is hard for me to adjust kase, highschooler palang naman kami also lagi ako'ng nakaka received, ng mga backhanded compliments, tagos sa puso napansin ko lang na dinedepende nila sa itsura ng mga tao yun, yon yung exact reason, why i received backhanded compliments at iba pa about sa looks ko napansin, kolang na halos walang kumukuha lalo na pag groupings, I feel like I'm useless, at walang kwenta lagi ako'ng napagtatawanan at na momock napansin kodin kasi na may bago kaming kaklase, medyo pogi at charismatic compared sakin na average guy lang napansin, kolang dahil ang bilis nya ma accept while ako medyo loner sa loob ng room kahit na famous pero iba kase ung famous sa maraming friends talaga, I just feel like i really need to reflect ka'se tinatanong ko sarile ko bakit ganon iba trato nila sa'kin, I don't have any support like pa'no nagawa ng isa namin bagong kaklase na masali sa cof in just one week while ako na 3 years na eto, napag iiwanan need ko parin yata patunayan na worthy ako para saka nila, pero after all this years ang empty lang kasi may gusto ako e-kwento pero wala, e loner lang talaga ako napaka sakit kase, they find me annoyin at palagi din ako nasisi sa loob ng room, pero feel ko wala na talaga ako'ng gana pumasok madaldal, naman ako pero yun nga yata case they find me annoying?

My instructor gave me 2.25

Sabi nila, "Grades don't define you." But sa totoo lang, nakakapanghinayang makita 'yung 2.25 na binigay sa'yo as final grade. It's not that I want a grade that's more than I deserve. It's just not what I expected kasi cinomply ko naman lahat. No missed classes, complete sa quizzes, project, examination. Kung flat dos, okay pa eh, the course was hard. Hindi ko pa talaga ma-process 'yung 2.25.

Now, I'm at the stage of just accepting it, kasi baka iyon talaga katas ng efforts ko. It's not actually me that I worry about nung una ko makita ko grade ko — nag-worry ako sa sasabihin ng parents ko. Despite not wanting to be overly conscious with my grades dahil nakaka-drain at sobrang unhealthy para sa well-being ko, there's a part of me that doesn't want to disappoint them.

I'll never forget that there's this one time, ang taas ng mga test scores ko, tapos nakita nila may isang mababa — nagbago ekspresyon ng mukha, nagbago ang tono ng boses. Idk if they noticed, but it stuck with me.

But now I'm at this situation, I have no choice, so I'm trying my best to see it in a different light.

"Grades don't define you, but it tells a story.", then I hope the 2.25 my instructor gave me, tells a story of me looking past numbers that measure my knowledge and efforts. Instead of chasing higher grades, I should focus on having meaningful experiences, better academic performance, and actual learning — not just for an uno in my card but for my own personal growth as well. Bonus na lang kung naappreciate nila.

Because there are times I found myself studying just to pass a quiz or a test. I don't think I'll be genuinely proud of myself kung may uno ako and wala naman talaga natutunan at all. It sort of creates an illusion of what I'm truly capable of. "So what you ace your finals exam, will you be able to handle the workload at your job?" thoughts alike form in my head that fuels my fear to world outside the wall of academia. But I'll leave this for the future me to discover.

Ayoko lang masira ng motivation ko to study from a 2.25 among all the uno I have and earned. I reached out sa instructor to ask what went wrong, dunno if I'll receive a reply pero kung wala, then it is what it is. (This is not that first time this happened. Dati binigay sa'kin 2.50, turns out, may error ngang na nangyari so naligtas pa. 2nd time, 2.00 binigay, maganda record ko kasi sinend sa gc yet still hindi binago kasi nag-resign na 'yung prof.)

So yeah, just wanted to get this load off my chest. Thank you for reading 'til the end.

Laban lang! ^^

Hanggang kailan ko pwedeng i-complete ang aking INC grade?

I had an INC grade this 3rd year, 1st semester on two subs. Hanggang kailan ko siya pwedeng i complete? Before 4th year, 1st semester starts ba or before 4th year, 1st semester ends?

I am studying at a State University. At ang nakalagay sa student manual namin ay:

Students with INC mark shall complete their deficiencies within one (1) year; otherwise they shall re-enroll the subject.

Thanks in advance!

Choosing passion over practicality in this economy

Is it still worth it? Honestly, 'di ko talaga kayang tiisin yung course na ayaw ko kaya mag-go nalang ako kako sa dream course ko. Spent two years sa IT, only to end up chosing MMA again. I'm already good at both (napag-aralan sa school isa, 7 yrs self-taught sa isa) and I'm confident I wouldn't regret it kasi gusto ko ang arts, and my passion for it is too strong para itabi nalang.

Also what motivated me to go for it ay years of relentless practicing and constantly being praised for my efforts and skill. Am I doing the right thing?

Need a brutally honest advice

Incoming 3rd year educ student, akala ko hindi na ako makakaabot ng college, I am undiagnosed pero feel ko talaga may something sa mental health ko sobrang forgetful ko miske elementary at highschool days ko wala na ako masyadong maalala, mahirap lang kami at dayo dito sa lugar namin so madalas talaga ako ma bully noon at sunod lang ng sunod sa mga k klase kahit hindi naman tama, madalas ako ma guidance noon. ofw ang mama ko, ang papa ko naman laging wala dahil sa manila nag t trabaho. Ate ko lang nag babantay samin noon pero lagi akong sinasaktan ng ate ko kahit siguro maliit na bagay lang kaya lagi akong layas sa bahay. Sinisisi ko rin noon ang mama at papa ko kaya ako sutil na bata na bakit ang daming anak hindi naman pala kami kaya buhayin. Lima kaming magkakapatid isa pa lang nakakapag tapos, ako na sana ang next. Pumasok ako sa university na ’yon dahil mahirap lang kami, nasa utak ko lang kelangan ko makapag tapos para sa pamilya, hindi ako nakipag socialize pero may ka blockmate akong trans na sobrang sama ng lumalabas sa bunganga, unang araw pa lang ang dami na niyang na sabi sa mga tao sa school, kilala ko na siya dahil k klase ko rin siya nung SHS kami, matalino may ibubuga talaga, pero grabe ang lumalabas sa bunganga, wala pa akong ka close or kakilala non pero yung university na ’yon parang ang gusto lang makapag tapos ay nasa city lang nila at mga lalaki, sobra akong na bully nung humiwalay na sa’kin yung trans, proud ako nung sinabi kong lesbian ako at may gf, sobrang iwas ko sa lahat ng tao dahil selosa ang gf ko, lahat ng SHS friend ko na cut-off ko dahil nga selosa siya and bad influence raw sa’kin.

Maliit ang university hindi ako na sali sa lahat, yun pala ang university na ’yon na asa lang din sa mga student, para sa mga orgs, foundation day and kineme, sobrang sama ng mga tao pero mas masama pala ako dahil 2nd sem ko lang silang lahat nakilala nung naramdaman kong magagamit ko sila at may mga kakilala sila sa higher year at ang mga kapatid nila higher year na rin pala, d ako naki socialize.

Lagi ko tinuturuan mga k klase ko kapag sasagot mapa lalaki or babae yun pala ayaw nila yun, ako pala nag mumukhang alam lahat, subjective pala minsan mga nasasabi ko, ayoko i downplay sarili ko kaya nagmumukha akong masama kase lagi ko sinasabi ”kaya ko yan kahit hindi mag review” tapos lagi ko inaako lahat, feel ko na f feel nilang mayabang ako kapag ganon tapos feel ko ang tanga tanga ko, kahit masama na sinasabi nila miske sa mga instructor na oo lang ako and nag bibigay ng response na alam kong gusto nila marinig.

Gusto ko na mag undergraduate pero need ko raw kuhain sa MANILA lahat ng papers ko dahil working to be independent pa raw sila, napapagod na ako sa pag aaral, na b burnout na ako. please give me advice.

how do you stop feeling like you've fallen too far behind?

i took two years off after shs because i was completely undecided about what program to pursue. when i finally started college, i realized i had found the right path. i really REALLY enjoy my program, and i finished my first year knowing i was exactly where i wanted to be.

now, i might have to take another gap year because of financial problems.

i even tried applying to fast-food chains and coffee shops this summer so i could save up for my tuition, but i didn't get hired anywhere.

it's just so frustrating because i'm turning 21 this year, and if i end up taking another gap year, i'll be delayed by three years. meanwhile, most of my batchmates will already be graduating next year while i won't even be in my second year yet.

i know people say that everyone has their own timeline and that life isn't a race, and i really try to believe that. but it's hard not to compare myself to everyone else.

sometimes i can't help but think how much easier things would be if i didn't have to worry about money all the time.

When's the best time to apply for 2nd sem OJT?

Hi! As mentioned po sa title, when po best time mag apply for an internship if 2nd semester pa po need? Mag start pa lang po kami ng class around next week, 1st semester. Then 2nd semester po mismo nakaallot yung time for OJT (two semesters lang po kami every A.Y). I'm planning to apply na po kasi since I'm worried na baka mahirapan ako makahanap, but most of the internships offered is pinags-start na agad. Thank you in advance po!
