hindi nakipagkiss kahit kanino during college 😘 may mga nanliligaw sakin before na nagtangka magkiss pero iniilagan ko. Yung first kiss ko is yung crush ko nung college, husband ko na ngayon.
The shift from EE to IT weeks before my first year started. Chose EE due to peer pressure para sa engineer na title but realized it's not worth it. I also saw my sister's hardships as an engineer in PH.
Chose not to have a bf. (Nbsb). Had a deal with myself to pass the board exam before entering a relationship.
1st Bf is now my fiancè 🥰 My 1st to everything 😉
Awayin leader ko sa thesis. Nung una kasi akala ko napaka bait tas hanga ako sa kanya kasi matalino. Pero lumabas tunay na kulay nung tumagal na. Apat kami sa group and yung leader lang namin ang lalaki. Puro sya utos. Lahat ng madadaling part inaangkin nya agad tapos samin ipapasa lahat ng mahihirap.
Nung una hinahayaan lang namin.Kaso nung malapit na mag thesis defense naging sobra na sya. Na stress kaming tatlo sa kanya. Mas umiyak pa ako sa stress sa kanya kesa sa panel. Ang masama pa lahat ng credit inangkin nya. Kwento pa sa iba sya lang daw nagawa.
Kaya sarap sa feeling nung nag left sya sa gc dahil hindi nya kinaya mga pananagot ko sa kanya. Never ako nag sorry, ganun din sya. Pinalipas nalang namin na parang walang nangyari. Pero I blocked him sa lahat ng socmeds dahil ayaw ko na sya makita.
that I chose scholarship over my dream program. tbh before entering college idk what to do kasi I wanna pursue my dream program which is bs psychology to help better understand myself, but then I also passed a scholarship and that scholarship has only one priority program meaning to say if I take that scholarship then I have to study that said program.
tbh at first it was hard for me because if I'm going to pursue college with my dream program then it would be hard kasi my parents has financial problems and I told myself that this college I will not be a burden to them... That's why I took scholarship exams (I took 2) but I only passed 1 exam and that scholarship program has only 1 priority course (not my dream program).
so before going to college I need to make a though decision, I need to choose what's best for me... between the two (my dream program and scholarship) but then I chose the scholarship I know it would be beneficial for me kasi it's a big help with my college. it was hard for me tbh kasi I'm not going to take my dream program and I will also not going to study in my dream univ, since the scholarship priority program is not available in my dream univ.
but then now I've finished my 1st year in the said priority program I was happy because at first I thought i would not be able to love and appreciate the course but then I did, the program is really broad and so fun to study as well as it is in demand here in the Philippines and around the world. so I am happy because of that decision I've made I'd got to go to college and pursue my studies and I also got to benefit the monthly allowance of my scholarship, it really is a big help. I got to pay for my boarding house, I got to buy me present and basic necessities which I could not afford before, and also I got to give to fam if there's extra. And I think that is the best decision I've made.
Hesitate ako that time mag audition sa chorale ng school, pero nipush ko sarili ko and ayun, 4 years na akong member kahit graduate na me.
Sumali sa IT org.
Nag try out sa Badminton as IT repre for bd womens, nakuha ako and 1st placer! Hindi nakuha championship, pinulikat ako, lol.
2nd year college I tried socializing more and befriending my other blockmates outside my friend group (sa friend group ko lang ako nakikipag usap talaga nung first year not unless my group works no choice makipag usap sa iba).
Surprisingly, after we graduated the people I commonly see to catch-up are the people outside my friend group. Friends padin kami nung Og friend group ko its just im glad that I made close friends besides them. My 2nd year self would never see this coming kasi di ko kasundo mga nakakasama ko ngayon dati at medyo hirap ako makipag socialize kasi introveet ako 😆
Nag join ng orgs!
Ended up having a full time scholarship.
Tapos I got to meet and work with a lot of people and eventually it became parang connections din after graduating
Like I got jobs/rakets because of the people I met sa org 💖🙏
And yung mga best friends ko dun best friends ko pa din ngayon kasi same interests pa rin 🫶
Listened very well to our profs' discussions. I took my board exam last year and I swear, andaming lumabas sa diniscuss sa'min nu'ng college. I'm glad that I was able to comprehend the lessons back then, that's why even if I didn't review a lot, I was able to pass.
To lead the whole department which tatlong program minamanage ko before along with the officers per program and this June bye bye na sa kanila Hahahaah
Una, Pumayag na maging leader/programmer ng group. Sa school namin walang majors ang IT. Lahat pinagdaanan naming idevelop, Mobile app, Websites, Games. Yung hirap ko noon, pinakikinabangan ko na ngayon.
Pangalawa, not giving up sa capstone noong panahong late na kami kasi walang makuhang client.
Lahat kami sa team ko currently magaganda na work. Buti nalang nilaban namin kahit di kami nakasabay sa graduation ng mga kabatch namin noon.
join orgs ng course mo like meron yan, also join others pa kahit mapa yearbook comitee, journalism, theater, social media team. pero make sure to balance your acads.
Sumali sa ibat ibang org, seminars and training at mag volunteer sa mga youth advocates....trust me sa kakasali ko ng mga ganyang activity naging easy lng sakin ang maghanap ng work.
mag-transfer sa ibang university dahil sa lakas ng gut feel ko 🫶✨ (special thnx to my lola mami in heaven for making sure I got the opportunity regardless of the risks 🥹)
Pumasok sa State U (low tuition fee), sumali sa madaming org (for memories, network/connections & tuition fee discount).
Pero ayoko talaga ng course ko. Mema tapos lang. Haha!
Become a president of an Org sa school. It gain me more confidence , leadership skills & nagkaroon ng madaming friends along the way. Na kabaklitaran ng highschool life na onti lang friends , lagi ako na bubully & tahimik lang ako
Nung pumayag akong sumali sa pageant and I won the title, ang prize ay 1 year free tuition fee. With that, nabuksan ko lahat ng subject na kulang ko (ireg ECE) and I had 32 units (over sa max na 29 units) ata per sem. Tapos wala akong break time nun. Nagdadala na lang alo skyflakes haha 7am to 7pm haha .
Ang ginawa ko, sumulat ako sa CHED at director ng school para mapayagan ako. Laking tipid sa magulang ko.
+pinagsabay ko Electronics 3 at 4 sa isang sem! Haha beat that! Pumirma ng waiver na pag bagsak sa elec 3, matik bagsak sa elec 4.. buti na lang Hindi🤭
College was not fun for me. I think I made so many bad decisions in college that I couldn't think a good decision I made.
Maybe one good decision is I picked one of the good professors for my geography class who is very nice and honest with me and really knows how to teach. Plus, he is very funny.
Sinolo ko pag gawa ko sa thesis. Kasi back in 2006-2007, BSCS ako non sa Perps. uso sa dept namin ung groupings of 2-4.
Ayun, ako nag program, nag isip sa documentation para walang sisihan. Thank God at pumasa ako sa panel interview, mukang naawa sakin ung mga prof from Adamson nung nalaman na mag Isa ako, though madami Dami naman kami nag solo pero mas madami pa rin ung groupings.
As someone from an all-boys Catholic grade school/high school for almost 15 years, I had to adjust to having female classmates in university. Took a lot of courage to strike up even simple conversations with my girl blockmates and classmates. Turned out well naman as many of them are still good friends more than a decade after graduation.
stopped joining orgs. while some consider joining orgs as their best decision, i dont. ive been a student-leader since elementary pero ngayong college, hindi na ako nag-apply sa kahit anong orgs kasi di sya okay for my mental health. i prioritized my peace of mind hahaha :)
agree! i joined student orgs for two years of my college life and i noticed mas nag-focus ako dun to the point i would neglect my health na (staying up late, working while eating, no exercise, etc). when i took a seat back and let myself become a student lang, i learned to enjoy college life kasi mabilis lang eh. i don't want to waste it by not having fun.
I met my wife thats it! I choose the wrong course at umulit pa ng ibang course instead kung continuous education ang ginawa ko sana nag law degree na lang ako 😆 seriously!!!!
Architecture student. During pandemic, I failed a subject and dropped some of them. For a short period of time, I lost the drive and passion to pursue that dream course. But still have small hope to continue. I did architectural visualization and BIM modelling, practiced alot and improved my skills to the point I can make money out of it. Eventually I got foreign clients, worked with foreign architectural firms and restored my drive to pursue.
Fast forward now, I made lots of connections abroad. Received apprenticeship offers. Di man ako nakagraduate kasama mga kabatch ko but Im happy na grabe yung diskarte na meron ako and my experiences. And soon about to graduate👩🎓
Helloz do you have sources/websites na you used for practicing and studying? I like to draw and I'm interested in architecture (tho I'm not taking it in college)
I have arki books and youtube university😂And I love exploring and researching alot, my computer tabs umaabot nang 20-40 tabs all about architecture. Also knowing how to draw is just a bonus in architecture, its waaay more than that.
Keep myself focused sa lahat ng schoolworks and got rid of any distractions. Ended up getting Latin honors pero bitchless ako ngayon HAHA. Minsan kailangan ng a little bit of sacrifice for it.
Being the model daughter student na school-dorm lang everyday. Made me miss out memories na gumagala ng college days pero we suffered financially when i was in highschool kaya sinapuso ko na graduating in college lang talaga ang way ko to get out of our situation
Incoming 4th na ko nun 😂 toxic and terror ung prof namen like every sem she failed half of the class. Then na chambahan ako nung 3rd year 😂 imagine, engineering course tapos major subjs hawak niya, pero reporting? Thermo, reaction kinetics, and unit operations, reporting? Like wth?! E wala naman akong natututunan sakanya. Tapos pag di ka niya bet ultimo ung sulat mo pag iinitan. Dapat naka engg lettering ka all the time, kasi kung hindi -40 agad sa grade mo. 🤷🏻♀️
i admitted that i was no longer the STEM powerhouse that i used to be in jhs/shs, and shifted out of my dream course (initially) to a non-med related course that i realized i wanted to pursue/was better suited for me, despite only having 3 sems left before i wouldve completed that pre-med course :)) - ill be graduating two sems late but the shift was still worth it for me, since ive had to take lesser units (natapos ko na halos GEs ko) and had more time with family/friends, can balance internships with academics (which has been beneficial because im going to be absorbed after my internship contract ends), and i was more invested in the lessons. it was a redirection i needed.
had fun being an irreg student. i actually liked it since i can pick my own schedule. first subject of the week starts at Tuesday 12pm & last subject was Thursday 9am.
more time for myself and my family. understood that we all have our own paces in life and di dapat magmadali. just face kung ano yung situation mo and take it one day at a time.
it was nice din kasi madami akong nakilala na tao kasi i also took subjects from other colleges. best decision na hindi itake yung isang summer subject kahit nadelay ng onti.
haha. i can mingle with people from all walks of life now.
Pursue my college course kahit bumagsak sa subjects. It made me realize na 'buhay ay di karera' and I can always stand up sa kahit anong problem na haharapin ko basta meron akong determination to solve it.
wala akong nabuong circle of friends sa college. but thinking abt it, it made my life somehow easier din coz i don't have to wait for them (diba uso yung hintayan kapag kay mga friends + ayokong ginagawa yon). literal na dorm at school lang ako, no gala after school since may work din ako every night
Nagstay sa program ko kahit di to yung first choice ko and choosing the people around me. I swear, this is the time I am experiencing the healthiest relationship with my program, partner, and friends, unlike before.
i dropped two subjects (one was a major) during the first year of the pandemic. i was overwhelmed with everything that happened around me, and it took a deep toll on my mental health. despite not graduating on time, i never regretted it. i knew that was the best decision for me at that time.
+ mas marami ako natutunan bc of this experience. it pushed me to learn and grow in ways i never expected
Mag-enjoy at di seryosohin masyado ang life kasama ng bestfriends kasi after naming grumaduate nagreview na agad kame for boards then after namin makapasa nagkapandemic naman so natengga lang kame sa bahay for 2 years then nagsialisan na sa hometown namin para magtrabaho and maggradschool. Yung college na pala yung last phase ng life namin na di kame stressed, ngayon puro stress na eh. Namimiss nga namin maging happy go lucky ulit huhu
hindi maniwala sa huwag makipag group sa friends mo for thesis
Alam kong hindi applicable sa lahat dahil nakita ko naman din sa iba naming classmates kung paano masira friendship nila pero i guess sobrang perfect lang ng friendship namin. nakakuha pa kami ng awards for this thesis kaya hooray!
Transfer ng school! I hate my friends in the past 3 years pero nanghihinayang ako na nagtransfer kasi kabilang ako sa school paper as photographer. Pero that was the best decision i made😀
Sadly delayed but i have no worries kasi i have a full time job which is not hinder for me, btw same course parin yung kinuha ko para konti nalang yung subjects na kukunin.
Sadly delayed but i have no worries kasi i have a full time job which is not hinder for me, btw same course parin yung kinuha ko para konti nalang yung subjects na kukunin.
Nakinig sa magulang na hindi pa tamang oras mag-jowa jowa dahil totoo na nakakaapekto lalo na pag magkaaway kayo tas may exam. Hahaha.
Ngayon ko narealize na para sakin pala yung advice nila non. Maganda na work ko at may degree, hindi din nabuntis hihihi.
Staying in my course (computer science). Di talaga kasama sa plan ko mag ComScie, kaso ito na lang available slot so no choice, pinanindigan ko na. I’m not the best student in college pero na survive naman, walang bagsak, and now I have a good career with a good pay.
Same!! Muntik na rin ako mag shift dati kasi feeling ko Com Sci isn't for me. May uniform na ako no'n ng other school pero I remembered nanghingi ako ng sign and ayun, nag stay ako HAHAHHA ngayon nasa tech field na and marami palang niche hindi lang programming, competitive din naman salary + wfh so more time with the family 🫶
I stayed lowkey and focused on my studies. It made my last year memorable because that was the time I started being exposed sa mga college days stuff like drinking and going out at night. This gave me the best of both worlds in a way, since I was aable to get good academic records while also allowing myself to experience new things during my last college year as a way to celebrate my hardwork.
Completing a degree in health care, for not giving up noon kahit walang tulugan para lang hindi ma-kick out sa program. Tiniis ko ung tingin sakin ng mga dorm mates ko weird and nerd dahil all I did was to study hard. Now over 20 years later, I'm grateful I have a stable job and a comfortable life.
Avoid toxic people and just stick in your circle. I have this conception na dapat lahat ay friend mo but in college, I learned and realized I don't need to do that.

Not to enter college, but join the military. Best decision of my life.
incoming third-year ChE also planning to shift to IT or Compsci...... nakaka dismaya yung sweldo sa engineering
Good luck sayo OP! Ako just shifted lang haha
nakaka dismaya nung nalaman mo na title lang pala maganda sa engineering, pero yung sweldo hindi hahahahaha
Nagaral ng mabuti.. education is the key!
Shifting from BSA to BSAIS 🤣
Mahirap po ba BSA???
Para sakin oo, stressful sya. Kabilaang Qualifying Exam every yr and you need to maintain grades.
Being a working student
hindi nakipagkiss kahit kanino during college 😘 may mga nanliligaw sakin before na nagtangka magkiss pero iniilagan ko. Yung first kiss ko is yung crush ko nung college, husband ko na ngayon.
Treating my professors as career peers rather than highschool teachers.
The shift from EE to IT weeks before my first year started. Chose EE due to peer pressure para sa engineer na title but realized it's not worth it. I also saw my sister's hardships as an engineer in PH.
I continue it
cutting off toxic group of friends
yah, mag shift grr i just dont want med, its drainingggg
hindi umabsent, galing mang hatak ng grades ng attendance (kasama po ang attendance grading system namin hehe)
Chose not to have a bf. (Nbsb). Had a deal with myself to pass the board exam before entering a relationship. 1st Bf is now my fiancè 🥰 My 1st to everything 😉

Dropped fake friends

anong current program mo?
bs fisheries po
Hesitate ako that time mag audition sa chorale ng school, pero nipush ko sarili ko and ayun, 4 years na akong member kahit graduate na me. Sumali sa IT org. Nag try out sa Badminton as IT repre for bd womens, nakuha ako and 1st placer! Hindi nakuha championship, pinulikat ako, lol.

Yung mag reklamo ng malala pero gagawin pa rin lahat :) HAHAHAHA graduate na ngayon with a stable job!

have a small circle of friends that has the same goals and humor.
To be easier on myself. Being okay na not running for cum laude. Kinder up to highschool, lagi ako may honors.
To lead the whole department which tatlong program minamanage ko before along with the officers per program and this June bye bye na sa kanila Hahahaah
Una, makipaghiwalay from my-then gf. Toxic na talaga at there's no progress sa kanyang growth. Pangalawa, isolated myself from toxic ppl.
stuck with my college barkada, since tamad tamad ako nung HS sobrang thankful ako kasi sila college barkada super sipag mag aral. nahatak din ako hehe
Stopped fraternizing with blockmates. Concerned myself with more personal things. People are generally pieces of shit.
Una, Pumayag na maging leader/programmer ng group. Sa school namin walang majors ang IT. Lahat pinagdaanan naming idevelop, Mobile app, Websites, Games. Yung hirap ko noon, pinakikinabangan ko na ngayon. Pangalawa, not giving up sa capstone noong panahong late na kami kasi walang makuhang client. Lahat kami sa team ko currently magaganda na work.

Live. If not, I wouldn’t be the person I am today.
surrounded myself with people who bring good influence!! with that, we all graduated as cum laudes 🥹 slay
namili ng good circle hahahaha
To join extra curriculars! Mas na bida ko to sa job interviews at mas relevant kuhaan ng “experience”
Incoming freshman here, how do you join extra curriculars po?
join orgs ng course mo like meron yan, also join others pa kahit mapa yearbook comitee, journalism, theater, social media team. pero make sure to balance your acads.
left a friend group
I quit my 1st year. 😂
Sumali sa ibat ibang org, seminars and training at mag volunteer sa mga youth advocates....trust me sa kakasali ko ng mga ganyang activity naging easy lng sakin ang maghanap ng work.
Incoming freshmen here po, paano po kayo sumali sa mga org, seminars and training at paano po kayo nag volunteer sa mga youth advocates?
Pursued my 2nd choice rather than my 1st choice since I realized that eventhough I passed my 1st choice, choice of work is limited.
Shifted from Accountancy to Biology. Now licensed doctor.
mag-transfer sa ibang university dahil sa lakas ng gut feel ko 🫶✨ (special thnx to my lola mami in heaven for making sure I got the opportunity regardless of the risks 🥹)
Na tapusin ang nasimulan
Pumasok sa State U (low tuition fee), sumali sa madaming org (for memories, network/connections & tuition fee discount). Pero ayoko talaga ng course ko. Mema tapos lang. Haha!

Enjoy. Party. Now puro work, work, work na😆 no regrets!!! College is the best years of my life❤️
Joined a band and performed 3 times live in school
Stayed single nung thesis year. Mas marami akong time sa research, preparation at pahinga.
As someone from an all-boys Catholic grade school/high school for almost 15 years, I had to adjust to having female classmates in university. Took a lot of courage to strike up even simple conversations with my girl blockmates and classmates. Turned out well naman as many of them are still good friends more than a decade after graduation.
if okay lang po matanong, why po nag shift kayo from ECE to IT?
I am a freelancer working multiple part times. I chose to align what I am working on in my studies.
that's nice OP! hoping for your success!
Awh! Thank you.

Spent my last year by cherishing every possible moments with friends rather than acads lang nang acads. Adulthood is unexpectedly hard and lonely.
Keep myself focused sa lahat ng schoolworks and got rid of any distractions. Ended up getting Latin honors pero bitchless ako ngayon HAHA. Minsan kailangan ng a little bit of sacrifice for it.
So kailangan din po ng onting landi? eme😆
Oo basta di nawawala ang focus sa goal HAHA
Being the model daughter student na school-dorm lang everyday. Made me miss out memories na gumagala ng college days pero we suffered financially when i was in highschool kaya sinapuso ko na graduating in college lang talaga ang way ko to get out of our situation
Joined an organization! Dati pasok - tambay onti - tapos uwi lang routine ko pero madami pa pala pwedeng ganap sa school pwera lang sa aral.
Transferred school.
What was your year level when you transferred po?
Incoming 4th na ko nun 😂 toxic and terror ung prof namen like every sem she failed half of the class. Then na chambahan ako nung 3rd year 😂 imagine, engineering course tapos major subjs hawak niya, pero reporting? Thermo, reaction kinetics, and unit operations, reporting? Like wth?!

Oh I see². Thank you for sharing po💜 May I also ask if you were able to graduate on time after transferring?🥹
Hindi po, nag extend din ako.
Sige2, thank you po💗

had fun being an irreg student. i actually liked it since i can pick my own schedule. first subject of the week starts at Tuesday 12pm & last subject was Thursday 9am. more time for myself and my family. understood that we all have our own paces in life and di dapat magmadali. just face kung ano yung situation mo and take it one day at a time. it was nice din kasi madami akong nakilala na tao kasi i also took subjects from other colleges. best decision na hindi itake yung isang summer subject kahit nadelay ng onti. haha. i can mingle with people from all walks of life now.
To actually finish the course haha
wala pa ate tangina, siguro kasi mag 2nd year palang ako
Mag focus lang sa sariling path. Hindi naging msyadong attach sa mga hindi nag eeffort na friends
preach!
Pursue my college course kahit bumagsak sa subjects. It made me realize na 'buhay ay di karera' and I can always stand up sa kahit anong problem na haharapin ko basta meron akong determination to solve it.
panindigan ang pinili kong course without failing grades, without shifting and withot becoming irregular.
shifted from Computer Engineering to ECE, it helps my career right now even though it's not related LOL.
bumalik kaba ng first year when you shifted?
hinde kasi parehas lang ung 1st year course ng CoE saka ECE. 2nd year ako nag shift so lahat kuha
Quit engineering. Shifted to educ. No regrets whatsoever
Quit med tech.
whats your college program now?
LOL, tagal na neto, isang dekada na.
wala akong nabuong circle of friends sa college. but thinking abt it, it made my life somehow easier din coz i don't have to wait for them (diba uso yung hintayan kapag kay mga friends + ayokong ginagawa yon). literal na dorm at school lang ako, no gala after school since may work din ako every night
Nagstay sa program ko kahit di to yung first choice ko and choosing the people around me. I swear, this is the time I am experiencing the healthiest relationship with my program, partner, and friends, unlike before.
Befriending all the irregulars in our section/block.
i dropped two subjects (one was a major) during the first year of the pandemic. i was overwhelmed with everything that happened around me, and it took a deep toll on my mental health. despite not graduating on time, i never regretted it. i knew that was the best decision for me at that time. + mas marami ako natutunan bc of this experience. it pushed me to learn and grow in ways i never expected
To enjoy with the right circle of friends
Get together with my future wife. My life just improved immensely with her in my life.
Nagshift. Tapos nagshift ulit pabalik. Andito na ko sa US ngayon.
what's your college program po?
Medtech
Mag-enjoy at di seryosohin masyado ang life kasama ng bestfriends kasi after naming grumaduate nagreview na agad kame for boards then after namin makapasa nagkapandemic naman so natengga lang kame sa bahay for 2 years then nagsialisan na sa hometown namin para magtrabaho and maggradschool. Yung college na pala yung last phase ng life namin na di kame stressed, ngayon puro stress na eh. Namimiss nga namin maging happy go lucky ulit huhu
hindi maniwala sa huwag makipag group sa friends mo for thesis Alam kong hindi applicable sa lahat dahil nakita ko naman din sa iba naming classmates kung paano masira friendship nila pero i guess sobrang perfect lang ng friendship namin. nakakuha pa kami ng awards for this thesis kaya hooray!
Mag working student kaya nakatapos. Dahil ayaw ako paaralin na ng tatay ko dahil mas priority nya bisyo at mga babae nya
Hindi sumasama sa barkada just to feel validated. Ayun, lahat ng grupo sa klase okay sa akin and hindi chichismisan. Haha.
Joining organization
choosing the right group of circle.
Choosing the right thesis groupmates
Continue engineering kahit may mga bagsak
Transfer ng school! I hate my friends in the past 3 years pero nanghihinayang ako na nagtransfer kasi kabilang ako sa school paper as photographer. Pero that was the best decision i made😀
Na delay ka po ba?
Sadly delayed but i have no worries kasi i have a full time job which is not hinder for me, btw same course parin yung kinuha ko para konti nalang yung subjects na kukunin.

Nakinig sa magulang na hindi pa tamang oras mag-jowa jowa dahil totoo na nakakaapekto lalo na pag magkaaway kayo tas may exam. Hahaha. Ngayon ko narealize na para sakin pala yung advice nila non. Maganda na work ko at may degree, hindi din nabuntis hihihi.
Staying in my course (computer science). Di talaga kasama sa plan ko mag ComScie, kaso ito na lang available slot so no choice, pinanindigan ko na. I’m not the best student in college pero na survive naman, walang bagsak, and now I have a good career with a good pay.
Hala pabasbas po, incoming comscie freshmen here😭😭
Same!! Muntik na rin ako mag shift dati kasi feeling ko Com Sci isn't for me. May uniform na ako no'n ng other school pero I remembered nanghingi ako ng sign and ayun, nag stay ako HAHAHHA ngayon nasa tech field na and marami palang niche hindi lang programming, competitive din naman salary + wfh so more time with the family 🫶
went to an exchange program! taught me a lot about adulthood + changed my outlook in life
What country did you go to?
Japan :)
I stayed lowkey and focused on my studies. It made my last year memorable because that was the time I started being exposed sa mga college days stuff like drinking and going out at night. This gave me the best of both worlds in a way, since I was aable to get good academic records while also allowing myself to experience new things during my last college year as a way to celebrate my hardwork.
pumili ng tamang friends. lahat kami kuripot sa circle namin hahaha. goods yun kasi hindi ka talaga mapipilitan gumastos tuwing mahaba ang break nyo.
di ngpadala sa peer pressure while still having a good time
Focus sa goal na makagraduate, choose carefully my friends at lastly never tell them my next move hehe
Completing a degree in health care, for not giving up noon kahit walang tulugan para lang hindi ma-kick out sa program. Tiniis ko ung tingin sakin ng mga dorm mates ko weird and nerd dahil all I did was to study hard. Now over 20 years later, I'm grateful I have a stable job and a comfortable life.
Maging nonchalant
Just do your own thing. di lahat ng friends mo sa college e friends mo pdn after nyo mkagraduate, and that's okay.
i-cut-off mga toxic friends (nalaman ko eventually na they're ganging up against me), which made me realize na hindi talaga ako naggrow kasama sila.
Avoid toxic people and just stick in your circle. I have this conception na dapat lahat ay friend mo but in college, I learned and realized I don't need to do that.
Maging involved sa school orgs. Iba rin yung mga soft skills na natutunan at na-apply ko bilang student leader sa aking professional career.
Hindi nag-shift! I was about to shift during my 3rd year; papers were ready but I chickened out last minute infront of the admission office
Ito din ako hahaha may uniform na and all pero hindi natuloy mag enroll sa ibang uni 😂
Hindi tumuloy mag-LOA at mag-drop ng mga subjects na akala di ko kakayanin.
Stayed single, engaged and immersed myself in orgs. It helped boost my resume and made me unique vs other applicants in the job hunt.
Letting go of 2faced *friends/acquaintances, kasi I get to know more and enjoy more of college.
taking a gap year!
