Can we not repeat the mistake with Heidi Mendoza?

This isn't some random bashing lang. Galing pa mismo ito sa taga UP (based on the profile details). I'm just posting this due to how annoying some students can be.

Remember Heidi Mendoza? Woke students cancelled her just because she doesn't support LGBT. But she's anti corruption and maganda record niya. Due to a difference in beliefs, you wasted another chance for good governance. You know, you could have just focused on common grounds, pero kayong mga woketards masyadong maprinsipyo. Nakakain ba yung prinsipyo na yan?

Masyadong idealistic at pure kayo sa mga pananaw niyo na nahahalatang wala kayong idea kung paano gumagalaw ang mundo. Maybe totoo nga na karamihan ng mga maiingay ay mga burgis at out of touch din.

At anong gusto niyong gawin niya? Ignore the ambassador na parang wala lang? Gets ko pa if she's a national level politician ngayon kaso hindi eh, mayor lang sya.

So please lang, don't waste another good candidate just because of something na di naman niya gaanong kontrolado.

A lot of those na nagagalit ay galing pa sa mga school na pang matalino gaya ng UP pero mga halatang walang alam kung paano gumagana ang government and bureaucracy.

Stop normalizing toxic teachers in the Philippines

It’s hard to stay motivated in studying if you know your teachers hate you or don’t care about you. Some Filipino teachers are actually one of the reasons why school life is so miserable.

I work really hard in school and i often try my best even if my mental or physical abilities aren’t great. I also never break the rules and i have never received any direct punishment, but it’s useless if you cant reach the same level as your teachers’ favorites.

It’s also crazy how so many teachers i’ve known are used to gossiping about students. Have we forgotten about professionalism and ethics? Is there anything moral about destroying a student’s image, especially to their peers?

Filipino teachers are getting worser every year. How can the students of my country improve if teachers don’t want to put the effort and if they influence us to normalize gossiping, being lazy, and draining yourself in schoolworks?

We really need to stop normalizing the immaturity, unprofessionalism, and laziness of our teachers. Back then, people used to complain about how strict and unforgiving teachers were—now, we’ve normalized the childishness of teachers because it makes them “chill” or “funny”.

I feel happy that my groupmates are pabigat

Omg guys, I’m a 4th year na and first time ko lang mapunta sa group na lahat walang kwenta, ako lang may initiative kumilos HAHAHAHAHA.

For this (1 unit btw) subject kasi, my groupmates are gonna be my groupmates til the end of the semester, and malas ko lang wala ako kakilala so I got grouped with the people nobody wants to group with.

I’ve been trying to get them to participate but to no avail talaga, pero buti nalang this groupwork can kinda be done individually, pero I’m not gonna fucking babysit these SENIORS GROWN ASS ADULTS BTW into doing the project that’s theirs just as it is mine 🫩

Honestly, I’ve never encountered this level of IDGAFer in my other groupings kasi competent groupmates lagi napupunta sakin, but I finally have my canon event omg

Anyways, masaya ako kasi I can finally play god and play with someone’s grades for being a pabigat 🔥The way this works kasi, is we get to evaluate our groupmates at the end, and the peer eval score acts as a multiplier. So if your group gets a grade of 95, tapos yung grade na binigay mo (Scale of 0 to 1) is 0.50, 47.5 lang yung grade nung groupmate mo.

So to my groupmates (all male btw), enjoy having an F
on a ONE UNIT SUBJECT 🫶 Idgaf about your circumstances, because I’m also an IDGAFer, we can both play this game broskis ✌️Enjoy paying an additional 5k for that unit, and delayed scholarship allowances if you’re a scholar 😋

Anong mga food hacks or tips ang alam niyo para makatipid sa dorm?

Ano yung pinaka-effective na food hack niyo para makakain pa rin nang sapat nang hindi nabubutas ang bulsa?

Grabe yung inflation ngayon, to the point na parang kailangan mo munang magcalculus bago ka makapagdesisyon kung anong kakainin mo for lunch. Yung dating ₱50 to ₱60 na student meal sa labas ng campus, ngayon baka kanin at sabaw na lang halos ang abutin. The thing is, hindi naman pwedeng puro hangin o tubig lang yung laman ng tiyan mo kasi ang lala ng coursework sa college.

Napa-wtf na lang ako sa teacher

I’m honestly really disappointed with one of the teachers at my youngest sister’s school.

I got a text from my 14-year-old sister saying na napagalitan daw siya ng PE teacher niya kasi hindi siya sumusunod nang maayos sa activity nila.

The thing is, medyo developed na talaga yung sister ko for her age. While they were doing jumping jacks, she was already feeling uncomfortable kasi naturally nagba-bounce yung chest niya. Some of the boys in her class started laughing and whispering to each other while looking at her, which obviously made her even more conscious and uncomfortable.

Instead of addressing the boys, yung sister ko pa yung napagalitan and punished for not following the activity. She tried to explain to her teacher kung bakit siya uncomfortable, pero ang sagot lang sa kanya was, “Hayaan mo na lang sila.”

Honestly, I got really furious when I heard this. My sister was already being made uncomfortable and was being laughed at by her classmates. She shouldn’t have been made to feel like she was the one at fault for other people’s inappropriate behavior. If the boys were making her uncomfortable, they should have been the ones corrected—not her.

I feel like a hypocrite (AI)

So in short I use AI as a study buddy a lot, hindi naman sa lahat, sa majors ko lang kase minsan di ko talaga magets (lalo na sa management economics huhu). I don't use it to generate ideas or my schoolworks naman, just simple instruction or translation or proof reading (I try to lessen naman na).

Pero yun nga, may issue regarding AI's and stuff na sayang tubig or pax silica and I was always against it, pero maya maya gumagamit ng Gemini para magpaturo haha. Tapos ngayon feeling epokrito ako pero what if kailangan ko talaga, kase it's either that or ppt na hindi kumpleto tapos manonood sa youtube ng lecture na hindi ko padin talaga maintindihan huhuhu. Yun lang balik uli ako review

Why is speaking up about cheating being treated as a joke?

For context, graduates from the university have been speaking up about the cheating issue that has been circulating again within their school. They are urging students to stop cheating because, in the long run, sila-sila rin lang ang mahihirapan.

However, one student made a post about the issue, and their friends were laughing in the comments, which comes across as mocking those who are speaking up against cheating.

Bakit kailangan niyo pang mag-post ng ganon, tapos halos lahat ng friends niyo natatawa? What’s so funny about people raising concerns regarding academic dishonesty? Instead of making fun of the issue, shouldn’t we be discussing why it continues to happen?

As a junior, I find this behavior extremely disrespectful. Nakakahiya naman na may mga graduates nang nagsasalita tungkol sa academic integrity, pero ginagawa pa rin itong katatawanan ng ibang students. They are raising a legitimate concern, and laughing about it does not make the issue any less serious.

Academic integrity matters, especially in nursing, where knowledge and competence are essential to patient safety. Cheating compromises the integrity of academic assessments and raises concerns about whether students are developing the skills required for their future profession.

This isn’t about targeting individuals. It’s about recognizing that academic honesty and accountability should be taken seriously, not treated as a laughing matter.

Where to buy a replacement for the eraser of mechanical pencils?

Where do you think I can buy an eraser refill for my mechanical pencil?? Specifically for this tri click mechanical pencil of faber castell.

I find it inconvenient kasi to bring a separate eraser so I’m buying replacements. I used up the given 2 spare eraser kasi.

I tried to search for one sa shopping platforms pero lahat ng nalabas ay related sa electric eraser, pwede ba yung size nung small one? 2.3mm?

I feel guilty that I can't attend examinations because I'm sick

2nd year chem college student, midterms was this week. And as usual in our universities, and I assume in others as well, a lot of exams were done last week. I was recently diagnosed with chronic sinusitis 2 weeks ago, with symptoms I had already been fighting against for nearly 2 months without medication. It got bad enough to a point I was bed-ridden and stayed away from school for a whole week right before midterm examination week. I missed 6 long examinations, 4 quizzes, laboratory work, and other school requirements.

I did get slightly better, although not fully recovered (which won't happen until a few weeks) due to the medication but since it was midterms this week, beyond my better judgement, I scheduled all my missed outputs (exams, quizzes, work, etc) this week alongside midterm examinations. Starting saturday the most sleep I've gotten was 3 hours, with at one point I didn't sleep for 2 days. This is very typical with our examination period, despite the fact I had already studied beforehand. And after all that yesterday my body finally couldn't handle it. I threw up 5 times and the symptoms came back.

I wasn't able to attend today, and I don't believe I can attend tomorrow even if I wanted to. I can't help but feel guilty because, not only have I always been used to just powering through sickness, but I'm terrified of what my professors and instructors will think. I've already excused myself from their exams once, now I have to do it again.

the new transmutation table is so ahh 🫩

OKAY so i’m a grade 11 student, g10 lang last year. and all throughout my life nasanay ako with the old transmutation table. i’m always pasok sa honor roll since elem to jhs and ive never had any problems in academics — if there is, then it’s only minimal lang. my cons lang is im really a fast learner but i tend to forget easily. overall, you can say na i’m slightly above average lang like 90-92 gen ave ko.

now this year, i decided to switch schools for my shs. there’s a lot of students and it’s a new environment kaya everything is unusual para sa akin. i’m slowly adjusting with my classmates and hindi ko masyadong inaagad-agad. i’m okay naman with them but lowk medj loner ako hahahaha but das ok, when the time is right ika nga!!! 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

recently, kakatapos pa lang ng first quarter and kami yung magcocompute ng grades namin. dude i kid you not laking gulat ko talaga when i saw my grades. sobrang baba as in! it’s not like mga average lang, BELOW AVERAGE SILAAA 💔💔💔 my heart literally dropped and nagpaconsultation half ng class namin kasi sila rin mabababa. my genmath and komunikasyon was line of 7 and the rest pasang awa na line of 8. sobrang nadepress ako as in 🙁

honestly i admit naman din it’s partly my fault. hindi ko masyadong sineryoso nung una when minemention yung new transmutation table sa orientations. and with the long summer break after graduation, lowk medj naging dumb na rin ako cus i didn’t study one time in that period. i wouldn’t say i slacked off, but siguro i got too confident and mayabang lang na i thought okay na yung ginagawa ko and i barely gave my best in every worksheets and peta. siguro it’s a learnt lesson for me to not be boastful of my skills and to study hard — taking everything seriously. tanggap ko naman yun wholeheartedly 😓

wala lang, sobrang nalungkot lang ako dun sa part na yun kasi it’s actually my first time not being in the honor list. ever since kinder, grade 1-10 with honors ako and ngayon lang nabreak yung streak. i’m also worrying din kasi college apps would check my g11 grades and makikita may line of 7 ako - it’s so nakakahiya hahahahahaha 💔☹️

I got chosen as the group leader sa research pero di naman ako magaling sa klase

So yun nga, ang random lng kasi ako pinili as research leader ng professor namin. Halos bumagsak na nga ako sa course nya last sem tapos ako pa pinili.. Tapos sa ibang group yung mga topnotcher sa klase ang leader. Parang mas magaling pa nga sakin yung mga group members ko. Hindi rin ako magaling sa public speaking so di ko alan kung papaano ko iraraos ang defense nito nang hindi napapahiya na mas magaling pa sumagot ang mga group members sa leader. I mean hindi naman ako irresponsable na student pero medyo mahina lng talaga ang utak ko unfortunately at di bagay maging leader. Feel ko nga jinujudge na ako ng group members ko eh.

Dormmate keeps bringing her boyfriend over, am I being unreasonable?

Okay, need opinions kasi baka ako lang yung maarte 😭
I share a dorm room with a few other students, and one of my dormmates has been bringing her boyfriend over pretty frequently. I don’t really care na may boyfriend siya, pero ang issue is halos every other day nandito siya, sometimes hanggang late at night.

At first hinahayaan ko lang because I don’t want to be that roommate na parang bawal magkaroon ng visitors. Pero lately parang nawawala na yung feeling na shared space siya. Minsan gusto ko lang magpahinga or mag-aral nang tahimik pero may ibang tao sa room na hindi ko naman roommate.
I haven’t confronted her yet kasi ayoko maging awkward for the rest of the semester. I’m also wondering if I’m actually being unreasonable since technically naman friend niya yung boyfriend niya and hindi naman siya gumagawa ng anything directly against me.

For those who share dorms, what’s a reasonable
boundary when it comes to bringing partners over?
