So for me, I prefer small light + calming or 40 hz audio playing in my earphone. But I have some friends na mas prefer yung big light, hindi ko kinakaya yung liwanag and init from the light kaya kahit gusto kong mag-aral kasama sila mapapasabi na lang talaga ako ng nex time na lang

Just wanna ask, kasi halos lahat ng kaibigan ko mas gusto big light para hindi raw sila antukin, so weird ba ako or what?😵‍💫

nagamit vs 1 ream

ganyan karami ang nagamit namin na bond paper kakapacheck. now, nakapaghardbound na kami di ko alam paano ko yan mapapakinabangan kasi yung iba parang bago pa yung paper sayang kung gugusutin tapos tapon.

ano ginawa nyo sa mga research papers nyo na di nyo na magagamit ulit?

mga naisip ko: -pagdrawingan ko yung likod -gawing scratch paper/solution paper

Way back in my early school days, I used to rewrite all my notes so they would look clean and ‘aesthetic,’ but I actually realize that it’s a waste of time (for me) because it’s not productive and I don’t actually absorb the lessons. Now I don’t care how my notes look as long as I understand them, and it saves me a lot of time for important study stuff I need to do less

But I still miss how good my old notes look🥹

I am currently a Grade 12 students and mag gra-graduate kami next week.Tinatapos lng po namin ang mga remaining activities, performances and necessary recquirments that we have to accomplish before the submission of our grades. Now, may isa po akong kaklase na mag pa-print lang sana isa naming teacher. To be honest, nagbabayad po kami kapag nagpa-paprint sa teachers namin. Wala naman po kaming problema sa ganoong set-up kase meron naman kaming pambayad.( Hindi po own yung laptop at tsaka yung printer kase it was provided naman by the school/government. Technically, hindi yun pag mamay-ari ng mga guro.) Ngayon, hinintay nalang namin yung teacher kase bawal kaming maki alam kapag wala sila. Naghintay kami ng higit na isang oras kase lunch break naman. Now, ng matapos kumain yung teacher eh bumalik siya sa office, which is the ICT room ng school.
Nang matapos sabihin ng kaklase ko na magpa print daw eto, nagalit agad yung teacher, sinasabing disturbo daw. And now, dito na dadating yung point ng whole post na eto... dumating yung mga grade 11 na pinaka fav niya..(for real: like lahat ng post, stories, and instagram post e nilallagay ng teacher ang mga estudyanteng yun. Like yung talagang part na sila sa buhay niya, parang hindi na teacher-student relationship kase nga close na close sila sa teacher).

Ayon nga, nang dumating ang mga estudyante na yun at nag a-ask kung pwede daw silang mag pa print, grabeng transformation ang nangyare, yung kanina lang na nagngangalit ang kaniyang mga ngipin dahil sa galit, eh biglang nagbago ang pakikitungo sa kanila.. like grabe,.ang hinhin nyang makisalita sa kanila.....I never expected that to come from a teacher. I mean, I understand na hindi perpekto ang batch namin, pero to the point na ipapahiya niya ang kaniyang estudyante is just utterly wrong.

There are many many many times na pinapahiya talaga kami mismo infront of other students. And I also experienced it just because of a menial reason. Like grabe. Is this even healthy to us? Do you think this would be acceptable? Can someone justify this kind of action? Alam naming wala pa kaming natuntun sa buhay kase isa palang kaming hamak na mag-aaral pero the favoritism is reeking!

I would definitely prefer someone (teacher) beating/spanking me physically (kase naranasan/nasanay kami noong elementary) than someone taking away my own self-worth!

Some may think na "for such trivial reason eh nag po-post na sa social media" "mga Gen z na talaga, masyadong mahihina sa real world ngayon" or "baseless naman argument ng batang to" , BRROOOO...I hope you would feel my feelings right at this moment. Through the years, we were always pointed out as the enemies.

As far as I know, there is a Magna Carta for Public School Teachers (Republic act no.4670) and also the code of ethics for Professional teachers that prohibits unfairness and discrimination.

Di naman ako galit after hearing that supposed joke. Pero it somehow affected a part of me. Oo, it's really hard making friends in college pero I would like to defend myself na it's not always because something's wrong with me, sir. Hindi rin naman ako totally "walang friends." Tsaka di ako malungkot, I just happen to have bitchy resting face.

I do have true friends, Sir. Bilang nga lang sa daliri and I'm proud of that. Quality over quantity sabi nga nila. Perhaps sa Uni natin ay konti lang or I think isa nga lang pero di lang sa school umiikot ang buhay ko, Sir. I value real connections and relationships and unfortunately, wala akong nakikitang tao sa Uni natin na deserve iyon from me.

So don't ever call me friendless again, Sir.

I accidentally put the wrong lrn in our NAT test. Nagpapanic na ako kase baka mapagalitan ako ng mga teacher saamin. Hindi kona alam kung anong dapat kong gawinnn super duper takot ako baka anong mangyari. Baka ipahiya ako kasi maling lrn ang nalagay ko sa NAT namin. What should I do guys?😭 Please kindly help me.

kahit talaga sa college may pabigat pa rin talaga. punong puno na ako sa classmates kasi grabe maging dependent sa friends na ‘matatalino at matino’ tapos sobrang tatamad pa. napaka pabigat, pero pag kabalastugan always present pero hindi mahagip sa group chat?

ang tingin pa ng mga yan sa mga nag aaral at masisipag na students ay ‘walang social life’ ‘hindi maalam mag saya’ tangina mo naman be nasa state u ka pa niyan tapos ganyan mindset mo nakakahiya naman sa taong bayan oh

I have a bully that seems to obsess and bring down people like me, even after we graduated SHS and into college as we go to the same school. For some reason, he is running for a role in the student government for this year's school elections and I geniunely don't know how to feel about it.

We used to be friends during the 11th grade, but I was put off by him because something felt off about his demeanor and the way he would treat people around him, especially to me. So I gave him the silent treatment, but he managed to leverage this against me and would use this to annoy and instigate me to doing something so that when I do get triggered, he can pin the blame on me and everyone would side to him because he was "charismatic" and "extroverted" or "funny" to others. He would go so far as to edit my video submission for school and post it in our class group chat, spread gossip rumors to other people, and constantly give backhanded side-comments to anyone he dislikes and wants to ostracize, most especially to me.

This falling-out happened over the course of a couple months, and thats when I realize how much of a manipulator and narcissist he was, because he would always try and gain leverage with the other popular kids in the batch through gossiping and backstabbing, which is normal for that type of "climbing the social ladder" world.

All of it came ahead one time when he tried to make me get mad by taunting me physically, which at that time, I naively tried to counteract by doing the same to him, and then he used my reaction to start getting physical with me though I didnt fight back, yelling to everyone and the teacher that I "started" it and played the victim. It was only after the rest of the class left where I broke down in tears in front of my teacher, and I later reported it to my adviser, which she then recommended me to submit an incident case for this situation.

I had enough of his antics and tried my best to distance myself from him during the rest of my time in SHS by moving to another block section.

By an ironic twist of fate, we ended up in the same department in our school and seemed to continue doing this, not only to me but to other people as well. He bullied his autistic classmate in their class the same way he did to me through instigating him to do things, and even tried to gossip against me by telling them how much of a "loner" I was, when I made a new group of friends in the department.

I know I should've moved on from this objectively 'petty' drama, and this is not meant to be a smear campaign, but the fact that he still openly does it is honestly so infuriating to me because he absolutely hasn't learned his actions at all, and that his narcissistic and painfully egotistical "I can get away with it" attitude brought him all the way to the steps of governing the student body, where EGO, out of all things, is the one you should absolutely leave at the door.

So, good luck to him I guess.

Hello po 2nd year college student po

Mayroon po kami mga classmates isang circle na puro lalaki sila and yung stereotypical na "geng-geng" and worse is mga manyak walang sinasanto kahit teacher, classmate namin or mga bypasser lalo na sa p.e. and sila rin yung mga maingay and bastos sa klase. Mahilig din sila mag "joke" na may mga double meaning na nag ccreate ng toxic environment sa classroom namin, pero mostly sa mga kaklase namin eh bystanders kasi hindi sila nakikielam pag hindi sila nadadamay.

any way po ba na mapatigil sila or mapagsabihan na hindi mahahalata na kami yung nagsumbong? or kung ano pwedeng gawin thankyou.

Mga smart or hard working student dyan, mga ilang hours kayo natutulog, anong recommend niyong hours ng sleep lalo na kapag quiz or exam day/week. Saakin kasi tulog na ako ng mga 9-10PM then gising ng mga 5AM. I tried staying up late pero di talaga kaya ng mind ko mag review past 10-12, di din ako nag kakape sa umaga or gabe.

i mean, im happy na makakaalis na rin ako sa high school (yay, finally), but at the same time, there’s this weird mix of sadness and anxiety na hindi ko ma-explain. i know ill miss this—yung mga kulitan, stress sa deadlines, and the comfort of familiar faces and routines. anddd college is a whole new world, and it’s crazy to think na by next school year, im already part of it. parang ang bilis like wait lang ah 😭 and while i don’t feel 100% ready yet, maybe that’s okay. maybe not being ready is just proof na this chapter meant something. it’s scary, but it’s also exciting bc stepping into the unknown means there’s something new waiting to be discovered :]

random thoughts lang bakit ba 😭

Should I atttend gradball even na I am emotionally unavailable right now? I am overwhelmed sa mga gawain and parang I feel disconnected ako sa lahat ng tao. However, I want to dedicate that day para bumisita ng psychiatrist. The only thing na I can't decide is due to the "one-time experience"

hi. im an incoming frosh sa school ko.

my course? i chose it bc i like it, im passionate abt it, and the like.

im scared not for my course but for my friends and peers. im scared na ang circle na mapupuntahan ko ay puro nagplaplastikan.

i judt want genuine friends, and im scared na i wont be able to have them sa college kasi ive heard some rumours na ang plastic daw and matataray mga nasa program ko.

idk if im paranoid or what huhuhu but its just bothering me. lahat ba ng course may ganitong instances? is it inevitable?

Hello, i am in dire need of an Integral Calculus tutor. we’re already tackling Volume and Work and will continue to progress, and im having a reallyyy hard time with these unlike the previous topics. If you know any tutor or someone who can teach Integral really effectively, please suggest or message me. thank you thank you

Helloo poo, I'm an upcoming BSCS student, 1st year, and I want some advice on how I can prepare myself mentally and physically for college.

I've heard that college is a different beast compared to HS so I want to prepare myself. I'm not expecting a perfect run with college since things don't always go as planned but something that I could look back and be proud of myself that I tried:))

So what are the new challenges that will arise when getting into college? Is there any way I could prepare myself for it??

i thought being in a small friend group would save me and us from bullying. it's my first time mapunta sa maliit na circle of friends and kami lang din yung may pinakakonting tao. we're chill naman, kind, and we even go along with our blockmates' jokes pero i guess kahit gaano ka pa kabait or ka-lowkey, you're still not safe from mean people. kahit anong gawin mong pakikisama, minsan hindi ka pa rin nila tatantanan.

and honestly, it's so pathetic how bullies still exist in college. pero ayun, may mga tao talagang ang source of joy nila is making others feel small, or left out, or weird just so they can feel bigger. ang babaw. minsan hindi na nga obvious na bullying yung subtle remarks, side eyes, passive-aggressive behavior. lalo na kung nasa iisang room lang kayo and you’re just forced to sit there while they make those little parinig as if may medal silang makukuha for being mean.

nakakapagod kasi i went through bullying in shs and i really thought tapos na yun. i told myself college would be different. i convinced myself na if i just stay quiet, keep to my circle, and be nice, i’ll finally be safe. pero hindi pala ganun kadali. minsan parang kahit hindi ka lumalapit, sila pa rin yung lalapit just to ruin your peace.

and now, i’m here again dealing with the same thing. and god, how much i wish i can shift to another program just to escape this mess. like, maybe somewhere else, i’ll finally be able to breathe. maybe somewhere else, i won’t feel like i have to constantly look over my shoulder or decode every sarcastic comment just to protect myself.

pero syempre shifting is another battle. ang dami ring iniisip. pero when it’s your mental peace on the line, when you wake up dreading the day, parang worth considering na talaga. i just want to feel safe. i want to exist without constantly second-guessing myself or wondering if people are laughing behind my back. ang hirap maging present sa klase when half of your brain is busy overthinking everything.

i keep experiencing this over and over again to the point na napapaisip ako na may kulang sa akin na meron yung iba. and maybe once makamit ko yung i'll be free from those kind of people na. nadadamay na rin friends ko T_T.

i currently dorm with two other girls, who are situated nearer to two windows while my space is the furthest wall away from the windows :( madalas, nakasara yung windows nila and ayaw ko naman galawin kasi space na nila yun. the only other window in the dorm is in the cr, which i do try to open sometimes kasi GRABE talaga yung init at humidity sa loob, as in. pag pumapasok ako ng dorm, iba talaga yung hangin na ang hirap huminga. nasabi na rin ng friends na nadala ko dito na medyo stuffy nga yung place.

alam naman ata natin lately yung init, at minsan hindi ko talaga kinakaya kasi ang hirap huminga. nung isang araw literal na sumakit yung ulo ko sa sobrang humid at init sa loob ng dorm pero nahiya akong magbukas ng aircon non kasi 2pm pa lang ata 😭

kapag gabi ngayon, nagpapaalam talaga ako na mag-on ng aircon kapag gising pa isa sa kanila, though admittedly minsan kapag ginagabi na ako di ko na napapaalam kasi tulog na sila. nung unang lipat ko, nung una akong nagpaalam na magbukas ng aircon, sabi nila nagkakahiyaan raw sila nung dati nilang roommates magbukas kaya hindi sila sanay, huhu. kaya ayun, hanggang ngayon, exclusively na ako lang nagbubukas. kapag nagpapaalam naman ako, sinasabi nilang okay lang pero nahihiya pa rin talaga ako kaya hindi ko naman ginagabi-gabi. naoffer ko na rin recently na magdagdag na lang ako sa bill since ako laging nag oopen kasi nahihiya talaga ako shutaaaa huhuhu

okay lang ba na binubuksan ko pa rin? a few months ago tiniis ko talaga pero lagi na lang akong nagigising na pawisan. never ko talaga silang nakitang magopen nang kusa huhu help pls!!!

Hello! I am an incoming first year college student (graduating this year po)

I am aware na sa College, mas serious and specialized na (depends sa course) pero I just wonder kung may mga activities and projects pa ba like roleplays, reporting, acting, etc? I'd definitely miss those kind of activities ;(

context:

kami madalas ang nagi initiate ng friend ko tuwing related sa pag gawa ng thesis. Saan gagawa, anong gagawin anong babaguhin and since yung title namin ang napili at may minor revisions kami na din ang nag assign ng mga parts kasi wala namang ibang kikilos. Binigyan namin sila ng deadline since kailangan na namin masend and marevise pa.

Ayun na nga nagpasa na sila, after namin macheck nanotice namin na parang kailangan ng slight revisions yung ginawa kasi malayo sa suggestion na sinabi samin ng prof namin and we decided na kami na mag ayos since nung nagchat ako sa gc namin if free sila nagchat yung isa naming kagroup na no daw kasi may work and may pasok so minabuti namin na kami na mag ayos at yung inayos namin is cinonsult muna namin sa isa pa naming kagroup na kasama sa gumawa nung output na nir revise namin.

Sinabi namin na ayun nga yung sub problems nila is essentially iisa lang sila so pinagsama na namin and yung main problem nila ay iba sa sinabi ng prof namin (sinend ko yung notes ko and papel na cinnorect ng prof).

Pagkatapos namin pinacheck namin sa kanila if goods sa kanila para mapasa na and sabi nung isa naming kagroup na sana hindi na kami nagpagawa ng SOP kung hindi naman namin gagamitin yung gawa nila and sabihin lang namin if gusto namin na gawa lang namin yung accepted at yunh sa knila ay hindi wag daw naming sayangin yung oras nila all caps.

So ako nagsorry ako and sinabi ko na babaguhin na lang namin gagamitin na namin yung sa kanila and inexplain ko na bago namin baguhin nag consult muna kami sa friend nya since busy nga sya and sinabi ko din na hindi namin intensyon sayangin yung oras nila at inamin ko nga na mali namin yun and disrespectful nga naman.

After ko isend yun nagchat sya na bigay bigay pa kami ng deadline at after nun nagexplain yung friend ko and sabi nua kami naman daw masusunod.

ayun lang 🥹 alam ko namang mali kami sa part na di namin ginamit at nasayang yung efforts nila pero sa akin lang is madadaan naman sya sa maayos na usapan nagulat lang ako kasi sobra yung galit nya and okay na okay naman kami before it happened ate atehan pa nga namin sya nagulat lng ako and i felt so idk disheartened kasi it wasnt our intention talaga to make them feel that way we just wanted to help

I’m taking a board exam in September and I’m currently working as well. Wondering if I can pass it if I only have time to study for 4 months? I graduated in 2021 so my stock knowledge is scarce. I’m thinking of resigning but I have bills to pay. My credit cards are not fully paid. My savings are not enough. But I have a hard time juggling studies, work, and being a church leader. Need advice. Thanks!

Graduation is on the horizon. I've finally gotten my photoshoot and toga fitted. I'm just surviving to walk the stage and get my diploma. I'm taking the time to have a little reflection before I move on.

• Learn to ask for help

School/College is the perfect environment to ask for help. You are free to fail without real-world consequences (aside from not being able to graduate). Dumb questions don't sound so dumb especially when it helps you build your understanding on a topic. This extends to teachers and fellow students.

Try to take advantage of consultation hours, especially if you're looking to get a good grade on a certain prof. Professors can give you more personalized feedback during in-person consultations. Did your paper not get a good grade? Your project/lab went wrong? Press your prof to give you concrete evidence on what went wrong. This serves as a good feedback loop to help you improve. Assuming you are unlucky enough to get a terror prof, this helps you figure out what appeases them.

Your fellow students are your friends. Everyone is in the same boat here. We don't care about hitting the top. We all just want to pass/excel. Share notes when you can. It definitely helps create interesting bonds during your stay. More importantly, your fellow classmates might cover material that your prof might try to blindside you with. The more prepared everyone is, the easier it is to surf through school.

• Mental health matters more than you think

I personally struggled with this for all of college. It was barely an inconvenience for me during high school. Entering college, I find myself having to consciously exert effort to stay "sane". However, I only started working on it when it was too overwhelming. By that time, I am already too late. I could not function enough to work outside of class hours. I could not focus enough to retain anything during class discussion.

Whatever your issue may be, please find a way to address it. The two hours you spend working on it per day will save you weeks/months of debilitating pain. My acads got affected to the point where even my self-worth as a student added unto the already long check list fueling my anxiety.

If a school counsellor is available to you, I strongly suggest scheduling an appointment with them. If you are fortunate enough to afford a therapist, by all means, consistently see them. Having a professional that can help you ask the right questions provides so much value by directing your attention towards the right ideas. Sometimes, all we need is a little validation to let us know we aren't crazy for feeling the way we do.

• Sleep is your friend

The power of good sleep helps your brain actually think. Exhaustion is your enemy here. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Similar to the earlier point, ignoring this need will hurt you in the long run. It can also make emotional regulation more difficult.

What if I need to cram something over night? Welp, hate to break it to you but that's poor planning (or really bad luck). You have two choices: a.) risk affecting the next n number of days and finish the deliverable tonight; b.) accept the penalty and rest to save the many classes you will have to face the next day. One way to discern is checking how big this one deliverable will hit your grade vs. the combined value of those in the future. This brings me to my next point

• Don't cram

I know this has been said before, but I swear it can't be emphasized enough. Planning your day and scheduling the work you will put out for your deliverables help immensely. Doing them the day/night before is one of the worst case scenarios around. Spread them out to account for unforeseen difficulties.

Assuming you are able to get away with cramming, you are unknowingly building complacency. I stagnated to knowing the basic knowledge of a topic instead of understanding it deeply. You probably won't remember half of what you crammed during the panic.

• Talk to yourself

Not to sound crazy, but you got to have your own voice in your head. You need to be able to think with intention. It's easy to lose yourself in this fast-paced environment of meeting one deadline after the other. But there are times where you got to be able to take a moment and figure out if you are on auto-pilot or not. Sometimes, you will realize that the options you have are not all there is to choose. Sometimes, your prof will be unfair. You can't just quietly accept that. You got to have your own voice to stand up and justify why you can't let it slide.

Most importantly, this helps you figure out what you want out of your education. The simplest answer is usually for job security. Some go so far to answer that learning is a passion. Whatever your answer is, that should be able to guide you long past the graduation march.

___

I hope you find these helpful. Feel free to add, correct, or even share anything to help your fellow students out. We're all in this together. Eventually, we will also be running the world (lemme borrow this, Beyoncé hehe). I hope you all get value out of your education. Peace ✌️
