2nd year with no friends in school yet. Honestly it's so embarrassing because all of my blockmates has their own cof and friends. I don't enjoy going to school because i'm not friends with anyone.

I tried naman to have friends and talk to some but they all have their own friends talaga and when i try to talk to them parang ang trying hard ko sa paningin nila.

I'm trying to focus on studies alone. But can i really survive? How do i get used to the feeling of being alone?

Anybody out here na 2nd courser as well?

I am already 25 years old and I am a freshman for the second time.

Ginusto ko naman 'to, and I am enjoying our lessons. My parents pay for my tuition and school needs, may allowance din but tipid of course as a dormer. My grades are good, top scorer naman ako, so far.

Pero ang hirap kasi matanda na ako. It feels weird na at 25 years old, dependent pa rin ako ng parents ko. I worked for 2 years na rin before going sa vet school. Yes, 'yung 6 year course pa talaga napili ko 🥹

I feel lost sometimes. Ayaw nila ako mag-work, but I really do want to. Di ko lang din alam kung saan, but I've been searching. Feel ko kapag may work ako or sariling pera, baka mabawasan. Idk.

I just really feel lost right now.

Can you give me advice?

These past few weeks, idk pero super underwhelming ng perf ko. Got 12/30 sa calc quiz, failed chem quiz, and missed a submission. Sa beginning pa lang ng sy super disoriented na talaga me. Even tho nakabili nako ng laptop and such, kala ko magagain ko ulit focus ko. Sobrang heavy lang kasi aside from the pressure na inimpose ko sa sarili ko, mataas din expectation ng parents ko sakin. Ito kasi talaga yung worry ko, aside from maintaining my scholarship, natatakot ako ma disappoint sila. I told my mother about my failed calc quiz and yeah she was disappointed, how much more nalang kung sinabihan ko pa sa iba. I'm trying to focus and do better, kaso I can't, I keep on reminding myself na I shouldn't dwell on those pero i cant. Lalo na't midterms na next week, hays.

While I was studying kanina, I couldn't help my anxiety again. I'm so disappointed sa self ko and natatakot ma disappoint parents ko. I even went to Ai para lang ma estimate yung scores ko. I couldn't help it, sobrang burntout. I missed the submission bcs that day kasi, I ruminated the whole day, an I missed the instruction na may deadline and docs submission pala.

Please let me rant this po and maybe give me your thoughts.

This week is our duty week (MTW) and supposed to be free na the rest of the week namin. But meron kming teacher na nag ask if pede ba sya mag oc thurs and fri, we said ok kasi ahead of time nmn sya nag announce.

But nung thurs, sumama ang pakiramdam ng kapatid ko (magkasama kmi sa dorm) at sabi nya gusto nya dw umuwi sa hometown nmin (mga 8 pm na nun). Though nag aalangan ako kasi wla masyadong signal dun, ay umuwi parin kmi kasi hindi rin kampante parents ko na iwan ako mag isa sa dorm nmin.

Thurs and fri, i attended the oc. Nung fri, pagkatapos ng oc nmin (mga 6) tumigil nko kakaselpon kasi ang sakit sa braso maghanap ng signal. Sakto pa that night na insomia ako ang mga 5 na ata ako nakakuha ng tulog. I have medication for this kasi meron rin akong condition na nagpapalala ng insomia ko pero nakalimutan kong dalhin kasi nagmamadali kmi that time at nakalimutan ko sa dorm.

And so yun, 5 am ako nakatulog then mga 10 ata ako nakagising. Mga 11 nag try akong maghanap ng signal to check ng mga messages and gusto kong umiyak talaga.

Nag announce pala cla sa gc mga 10 pm na may oc kmi sat morning 9-12 at mandatory ang attendance ( which natapos na nung 10 yung checking).

Gusto ko magbreakdown. Napaisip talaga ako na "bakit hindi cla nag announce nang ahead of time?", "d ba dapat free nato namin, bakit may oc pa rin?".

Ang hirap pa nmn kasi may bayad yun smin. Na late nako 1 time dahil rin sa insomia ko kasi that time hindi pko naka ask sa doctor ko nang gamot, but this time? I dont know, hindi ko na talaga alam gagawin ko. Late pa nmn smin is yung bayad 1600 ata rinig ko sa isang late.

Lol, hindi ko gustong sabihin sa parents ko toh, sarap nlng talagang umiyak.

Though i know may kasalanan rin nmn ako kasi hindi ako nag checheck ng cp ko. I know that pero sarap parin talagang umiyak.

Here's the actual story: nagkausap kami ng isang kong blockmate na need niya kaming i-disband pagiging duo namin sa research dahil pwede pala from other blocks which is masakit sa akin pero willing siya tumulong. Ang mas masakit pa nangyari is ung ka-tropa niyang babae na biglang UMAKBAY sa likod niya then she "scooped" him away from me HABANG nag-uusap kami tas eto ung kausap ko napa-"oh sge sge bye bye!" sabay ngumiti saken ung babaeng umakbay sa kanya na talagang masasabi kong plastic pero ngumiti na lang ako para walang gulo.

Most of them are nasa mid 20s na pero may ganitong klaseng bagay ginagawa na kadalasan from kinder to JHS mo lang nakikita gumanon. Kakabadtrip dahil ako na nga naagawan ng group member despite ako nauna for DAYS na tapos kinuha na nga siya saken while talking by scooping him away from me as if pagmamay-ari niya ung tao PERO di naman sila mag-jowa.

Hello, hello!

I am a freshman in college. I've been having a hard time. Siguro dahil naga-adjust pa since iyon nga, bagong environment.

The past weeks, even before pa mag-midterm exams nakaramdam na ‘ko na ayoko nang mag-aral. One time nagsabi ako sa nanay ko out of the blue na “Sana pala nagpahinga muna ako. Kahit isang taong lang.” Kasi feeling ko nabigla ako. Kasi hindi pa ako ready. Sobrang nagkandagulo-gulo yung schedule ko since I was also working at that time. Hindi ko alam kung anong uunahin ko. I even considered dropping out or kahit mag-file ng LOA.

Pero iyon nga, I didn't kasi kino-consider ko rin iyong mga consequences.

The problem is, though, since pinipilit ko yung sarili ko, every time may classes ako, I feel anxious and dini-dread ko yung pag-attend. I feel so overwhelmed. I'm currently at the point where I even hate the sight of campus. I'm starting to hate my regular blockmates. I mean, they haven't done anything to me, pero I feel so irritated kapag nakikita sila. Hindi ko alam bakit kasi some of them are so nice talaga and because of that I feel like a bitch. I also hate the instructors. I hate the color blue. I hate how anxious I am every time I go to school and how drained I am kapag pauwi na. Parang hini-hate ko na lahat ng bagay na associated sa school.

It's causing me so much distress.

Pero okay naman ako sa NSTP class ko. I have 8 courses this semester, including the NSTP. Iyon lang iyong class na okay ako, gusto ko even. Iyon lang iyong class na hindi ko dini-dread attend-an kahit pa exams at wala akong review. I actually like the instructors and have no ill feelings toward my NSTP blockmates. Siguro baka ganoon kasi isang beses ko lang naman silang nakikita sa isang Linggo.

Tina-try ko namang maging komportable sa mga regular blockmates ko. I talk with them. I cooperate kapag may tasks. Sumasali rin ako kapag may small talks. Pero parang wala pa rin talaga.

I actually envy those who are irregular, palipat-lipat ng section every subject. Kasi they're like a ghost. Hindi sila nata-tie down sa isang environment at same people. Alam ko naman na mahirap maging irreg. Some of you would say na baka ganito lang kasi hindi ko pa nararanasan. Naiingit lang ako kasi it feels freeing. I feel like, personally, it would work for me.

Im a student a JRH male, this has been on my mind for a long time na kasi parang manyak yung pinapashow niya because i dont know if hes just being a gentleman for my female classmates, kasi whenever we take his class the treatment is really

showing and unfair to me and my male classmates sinisigawan niya kami and parang may minumurmur sa sa sarili niya pag tapos niya magsalita samin. as to my female classmates nag iiba yung trato niya like malambing tapos nag iiba yung boses and tapos nag bibigay siya ng advantage to some of female classmates for example whenever one of my female classmates na walang gawa binubrush off niya lang na "ibigay mo nalang bukas" like parang nanghihingi ng validation to my female classmate. me and my friends na notice nanamin to since start of the school, or am i just overreacting?

​

Hello, I am a Grade 12 STEM student in a private school and during this I committed a Major Offense for Cheating. (Please no discrimination, Im aware it was very stupid and serious mistake on my part, and I have already taken the time to reflect and learn from it....😭)

I am having a conference soon with our Prefect of Discipline. and this is only the first major offense that I have ever received. I dont know kung mabibigyan pa ako ng Good Moral Certificate.

I'm wondering how much a Major Offense on your record really affects you in the long term. Does it actually matter for your future? Most things I've read about said that it will reflect it. Can I still get a Good Moral Certificate even though I have a Major Offense?

Throwaway for this.

We have this thesis topic on ‘Reading Comprehension System’ it’s so bullshit, it’s basically an AI model that clarifies words highlighted by the user, and the user asks the ai model for ‘clarification’ on text they find confusing.

It’s a redefense, we’re the last one to present the system. We were the last out of the total 4 groups. I remember the adviser said it’s better to be the last so the panel won’t have high expectation on us.

Anyway, it was 8:15 pm the school closes at 9. It’s definitely rushed. Maybe the panel wants to go home early😂

And man🐴 The Panel made us ask the AI, ‘The son came out’ Instead of ‘sun’. The AI didn’t asked if it was a mistyped. From that, they made us ask gpt to generate a story on how the son coming out🏳️‍🌈

The AI is hallucinating complete bullshit. And I was smiling my ass off. I looked at one of the panelist. He was smiling too😭

Not even a pass or a fail. They gave us two weeks to fix this AI model. Napahaba pa kesa nalang binagsak. But i feel like the faculty just want this over with…

‘Shit like this wont fly in college’ but it was the complete opposite 😂

Tho I have a topic in mind if di talaga nakapasa.

Now the other members plan to gift iced coffee and donuts to the panelist. I asked my mom about it and she said, ‘ganyan talaga sa college’ (wtf, i don’t endourse this shit😭)

Meron bang college na ganto? Good thing my career plans are unrelated to my degree. Not gonna work in tech anyway

Di ko alam kung yung mga lalaki ganito din, pero mga babae kasi kasama ko tas ako lng lalaki.

Sa lahat ng incoming interns at mga nag-iintern ngayon, please lang, nakakairita kayo kapag kinikilig or nagpapaalam talaga kapag may gwapong pasyente 😭

Nakakabwisit kapag seryoso ka sa ginagawa mo tapos biglang magsasabi yung kasama mo ng “Uy, may pogi!” Like??? Beh, nasa hospital tayo. Hindi tayo nasa dating app 😭 Tas kung makatingin at kumilos kayo parang uod kapag nandiyan yung pasyente, jusko, nasaan ang professionalism?

I'm male, and I'm not open to everyone, pero sa friends and close friends ko, I'm gay and discreet. Kanina may pogi na naman, tapos tangina, ano naman kung pogi siya? Anong gagawin ko sa information na 'yan? Edi wow, pogi siya. Can we please focus on what we're supposed to do? Hindi naman tayo pumunta sa hospital para maghanap ng crush.

Nakakairita rin yung may makikitang pogi tapos turo nang turo sa kanya, tas biglang titingin sa akin na parang ine-expect nilang may reaction ako. Like, anong gagawin ko diyan, kakainin? 😭 Please lang, hindi lahat ng gay interested sa lahat ng gwapo. At higit sa lahat, pasyente 'yan, hindi artista na nakita natin sa mall.

Malapit na kayong magtrabaho sa totoong hospital setting, pero ganyan pa rin kayo umasta? Please learn to be professional. Hindi lang naman basta pagkuha ng images or pag-assist sa procedures ang trabaho natin. We also have to respect our patients and make them feel comfortable.

Pa-rant lang po kasi nakakainis talaga. 😭

3rd has me defeated

Hi im a Computer Engineering 3rd Year student whom has taken 9 subjects in his first semester. Im going to fail atleast 5 subjects in this semester and not only that it affected my mental health as well as my academic too. 1st & 2nd Year were difficult by not like this into what im experiencing. I feel like im not ready yet for 3rd year and its only just first sem. I only have two months left and im in my midterms. Im taking a gap year after this sem as I couldn't not handle this much workload in me. I feel like a fraud and a failure to my parents.

hi i need a food technologist or a facility that would my group process a carabao protein milk with flavor! we need it for our thesis (business)! i am not sure what to look for but our prof advised we look for those that can verify our claims about it being healthy! preferably around quezon city po :)) salamat!

Hello, I am currently taking IT in my junior year and was wondering if I could have any internships where I could work with Crim students, such as at their university or police station cause I am curious and want to experience what it is like to work with them, especially what I'm seeing right now on different social media. We have 2 terms of internship with 520 hours each so I wanted to have my 1st term with them just for fun and to get a better one in my 2nd term before graduating. Just wanted to observe them from afar kung totoo mga stereotypes.

A little bit rant about my school life. I am currently a 4th year college student. Yes, konti nalang graduating na and yes konti nalang din pasensya ko.

May expectations naman ako during the times na nakikita ko ang post ng other people regarding sa college life nila and it is something na hindi ko pa nakikita samin. 4th year na kami pero sorry for my word ang mga kausap ko parang highschool palang.

For context, sa group namin may kanya kanya talaga kaming trabaho. Hindi naman kami nareretain sa kung ano trabaho lang nung isa ayun lang gagawin niya kaya mas ok padin na humingi ng tulong. Naghihirapan lang kami kasi majority ng workload niya sa iba napapapunta tapos pag tinanong mo progress o paano niya nagawa part niya ang sagot niya ay hindi niya alam.

A lot of instances na lalo na sa thesis namin nagmamakaawa, nagagalit, o di kaya pinapagalitan ko mga kagrupo ko kasi wala talaga kikilos kung hindi ako gagawa. Sa thesis namin may kanya kanyang role kami na alam namin na kung sino naka assign doon siya ang tatanungin ng adviser namin kung kamusta na ang progress. Ang naka assign sa paper namin; walang paramdam pag tinatanong ko na kung kamusta papel namin. Not unless bigla nag announce adviser namin na magchecheck siya ng papel. Magpapanic siya, magcracram, tapos idadamay niya ang iba na ginagawa na din nila role nila para gumawa ng papel kahit alam niya hindi trabaho nung isa yun. Pag wala na talaga, sakin lalapit at makikita ko na sobrang gulo o in worst case scenario mali talaga ang gawa. Ang role ko na dapat taga ayos at document ng buong progress habang naghahanap ng respondents namin ay lagpas kalahati ng papel namin ako na gumagawa habang siya ay puro gala ang ginagawa. Inunfriend kaming lahat sa lahat ng socials kasi ayaw niya daw makita namin siya na nag gagala siya kaysa gumawa ng papel. Ilang beses ko na napagalitan o napagsabihan pero ang nagyayari pasok sa isang tenga tapos labas sa kabilang tenga o hindi kaya isisilent treatment ako. Ang dahilan niya sakin? Ayaw daw niya ang ginagawa niya sa thesis namin. Kahit ako na mismo magbibigay sa kanya ng references na pwede niya gamitin ayaw padin niya.

Willing ako tulungan ang mga kagrupo ko bilang leader na din naman nila ako. Alam nilang lahat ito at alam din nila na wala akong pake kung mag-gagala sila o kung ano man fun activities na gawin nila basta may progress na magyayari. Sabi ng ibang kaibigan ko sanay kasi ang writer namin na spinospoonfeed siya, lalo na ayaw niya ginagawa niya. Ako na mismo nagiisip na paano pag nasa field na siya, tatakasan niya trabaho niya kasi ayaw niya ginagawa niya?

Hi everyone, I'm just curious kung magkano na ang baon ng students ngayon, graduated few years ago btw, kasi I'm planning to start selling snack/meal for students. Gusto ko lang malaman how much yung purchasing power ng mga students ngayon allotted for food para matancha ko na agad if plausible ba yung mapipili kong food to sell. For the location, OLFU Valenzuela, MCU or nearby narin. But feel free to answer, the more, the better.

Thank you!

Nagbayad ka na nga, babagsak ka pa dahil di ka pumunta sa acquaintance party???

I'm a 4th yr student and I'm so done with this school culture.

We had our acquaintance party yesterday. I didn't attend for personal reasons BUT I PAID THE FEE. Like, I literally paid for an event I didn't go to.

Then today, they suddenly announce that those who attended will get a perfect score for Performance Task and even sa quiz. Those who didn't? Zero. And they have the audacity to imply na babagsak kami pag wala nun.

Like?? Since when did acquaintance party become an academic requirement? It's a PARTY. A voluntary, non-academic, social event. Wala siya sa syllabus. Hindi siya exam, hindi quiz, hindi thesis. Party lang.

Tapos gagawin niyong graded AFTER mangyari? Paano kami magko-comply kung tapos na? That's not fair grading, that's entrapment.

And the worst part is, ganito sila LAGI. LAGING PANANAKOT ANG BINABATO. They keep doing it because no one speaks up. Takot lahat kasi 4th yr na, takot maipit sa grades, takot hindi grumaduate. So they use that fear to force us to attend every little event. "Attend kayo, may plus points. Hindi kayo umattend, may minus." Nakakapagod.

We paid. We complied financially. But apparently that's not enough. Kailangan mo pa ring sumayaw, umattend, mag-picture para lang hindi ka ibagsak.

Is this even allowed by CHED? Kasi as far as I know, grades should be based on academic performance lang, hindi sa kung pumunta ka sa party o hindi. Voluntary dapat ang mga ganitong activities.

4th yr na kami. Ang iniisip namin OJT, graduation, etc. Hindi kung paano kami papasa dahil lang sa acquaintance party.

BULOK NA SISTEMA. BADLY WANT TO REPORT THIS SA CHED.

First year college here. Months ago there was supposed to be an acquaintance party for us first years to "connect" with each other. Back then it was only 1 day worth of attendance, so me not being into social events and the party not being free I told myself it was not worth it.

But it turns out the party was cancelled due to campus issues. It was moved this October 15, which was announced 3 days before the said date. But now it's worth a WEEK of attendance. Worst part is it's not an additional type of attendance; don't attend the party and a week of attendance will be marked off your attendance. So a week that I legitimately showed up for will be gone simply because I didn't attend some damned party?

Is this even allowed? This feels very unfair, especially for those students who are financially struggling. I'd understand if it was free, but it's fkn 180 pesos and it requires some sort of ticket. Paying for grades, attendance or etc. is something that has always pissed me off, but this one is just straight up unfair; no alternative activities or anything of sorts. I wouldn't care if this was back at high school or lower, but this is college, attendance is absolutely crucial to pass.

fin.

May fieldtrip kasi yung kapatid ko and special project daw para sa mga hindi sasama. Sabi ko sumama ka nalang minsan lang yan o sobrang bihira kaso namamahalan sya at perahin nalang daw lol and baka mabored daw sha oks sana kung enchanted kingdom yan.

Kayo ba guys sasama ba kayo? Shs pala ito and with buffet na daw.

​

My prof told us that the final exam will take place on Friday, so we sticked to that despite seeing the schedule kasi we know na whatever the words of our prof are, yan yung dapat sundin. Kaso, we didn't know na ni-move niya pala to Thursday yung final exam, and we found out lang, Thursday rin which is tapos na yung time allocated for our subject, when I went to the faculty, the STA told me na I must provide a valid reason for me to be able to take the final exam(she relayed Sir's message) , which I can't, kasi yung reason ko is that hindi ko alam na Thursday pala yung final sched because wala shang formal announcement na pinost sa BBLearn namin, and wala rin shang sinabi sa personal na chi-nange nya pala, we just sticked to what he said. And PS, only four of us weren't able to take the final exam for the very same reason, yung ibang mga classmates ko nakatake sila kasi nag-early sila sa classroom since meron silang exam sa major next period. I asked my classmates too if alam ba nilang na-move, they said na hindi rin kasi wala talagang sinabi prof namin but they just took the exam since nasa room na rin naman dw cla nang biglang pumasok prof namin with exam papers.

Na-mro-mroblema ako kasi I'm a scholar, and yung finals namin is worth 12% of our grades, although yung grade ko naman will still be 85% even without the finals (3.0 so pasok parin sa DL), I don't want to risk my GWA kasi sayang yung percentage of scholarship na makukuha ko based on my average eh.

I really just wanna know if sino samin yung mas may mali huhuhuh thank you po sa pagsagot😭

When it was announced that we'll be using "We Made It Through" by Gerald Magbanua as our grad song, I thought it was just an old song by an artist I never heard of.

‎

‎Nope, I immediately knew it was AI-generated "released" just last year the moment I saw its thumbnail on YouTube. And darn, it really is AI-generated when I listened to it from start to finish.

‎

‎I also found out that other schools have used AI-generated for their graduation/recognition events as well.

‎

‎I feel very conflicted about this; on one hand it should not be a big deal as it's more convenient plus the song itself is not bad-sounding, but on the other hand it feels hollow and hypocritical.

hi! 19 (f) here and 2nd year student all the way from mindanao. recently, i applied for a UN type of org kaso i think may money siya involved and u have to be physically there. are there national orgs anyone knows na pwede salihan na can do virtually? thanks!

For context, involved ako sa school publication namin and if officer ka, which i was, ay kasali ka sa "non-academic scholarship". Nagserve ako don for 2 semesters and ngayon graduate nako, di ko parin nakukuha yung supposed "reimbursement". IT BEEN 2 YEARS SINCE I SERVED AND WALA PARIN.

Nag reach out naman nako sa moderator nung publication kaso medyo wala parin siyang sagot exactly kung kelan ilalabas yung reimbursement namin.

What can I do? Naisip ko nga iemail ko yung mga higher-ups sa school namin tapos isama ko rin email ng ched. HAHAHAH pero im hesitating kasi yung industry ng course ko is medyo maliit lang ang circle dito sa PH so high chances na may kakilala sila so i dont really want to make enemies lalo na at fresh grad ako.

I just got a job (di pako nagsastart) kasi recently and I really need money para ifund yung first few months ko while starting palang, so eto talaga yung kinakapitan ko. Cant really rely on my family since struggling financially rin kami right now.

Need advices on what to do with this situation. Yung mga kapwa ko officers dati parang di naman din nag rereklamo. So i dont really know what to do.

hello, where po usually naghahanap ng mga puwedeng ma-interview? naghahanap sana kami ng mga artist, graphic designer, copywriters, and other workers na puwede na mapapalitan ng AI yung trabaho na ginagawa nila. first time lang kasi namin maghahanap ng interviewees na mas specific. so, saan ba makakahanap like is there a specific group or community for this?

In my school which was a private school I just got bullied hell they made Akon advisor na gusto na retire plus damo gago at sexist racist na harassed ang American transferee dahil sa trump administration bro we are in highschool at na bullied ang mga lalaki dahil ang feministic at Akon Groupmates sa science PT naton they push me out of the group dahil lalaki ako excuse me I studied to pass the entrance exam .....after that gusto sila ako na matay sa eskewelahan...

My school banned all portable gadgets. Hindi mo pwedeng ipasok sa school phone mo even if nakapoweroff siya buong maghapon. Bawal rin magdala ng laptop even if need mo siya for presentations etc. Diretso guidance ka na agad kasi considered na grave offence pala 'yon sa student handbook. And the thing is, nag dala ako ng laptop kanina(for PowerPoint presentation sa isang subject.) Anrami ko na rin kasing nakita na students na nag dala ng laptop. Need pa pala raw ng letter. I thought even laptops pala bawal na rin?

One of the inconvenience pa na na cause nitong rule na 'to is I can't contact my parents. I have to go through my teachers pa. And syempre, minsan yung teachers is sakto pang busy sa faculty meetings etc. No way of contacting my parents para sabihin na sunduin na 'ko. I can't even commute kasi wala namang namamasada sa area namin. Minsan, even if I give my parents a heads-up kung what time ako susunduin, may time na maaga kami pinapauwi. Ending– maghihintay ako ng ilang oras para masundo cus no choice at malayo baha namin. Yung iba ko ngang kaklase, nag lalakad nalang.

What if may emergency?

I thought nakalagay sa DepEd order is tuwing school/class hours banned yung gadgets but not entirely banned sa school?
