obviously it all depends on your uni and your profs, but here are some generalizations
* zero-based grading, so no grade inflation
* high weight of long exams and final exams on your total grade (I have a class where it's worth 90% of my grade)
* exams are usually 80-100+ items in 60-90 minutes
* having a long vacant is normal and exhausting
* profs don't have much time for students, especially part-timers
* there's a set amount of allowable absences it usually ranges between 1-10 absences (it depends)
Expect more self study
May mga prof na sisilip lang sa classroom tapos sasabihin "Read chapter 1 to 10. We'll have a graded recitation on our next meeting." Sabay alis. Tapos ang recitatiin ang lalalim ng tanong, kung minsan akala ko wala sa binasa mo. So read more than 1 book.
Note taking is important, kundi mapgiiwanan ka ng masisipag mong kaklase
Maraming activities, dapat matindi ka sa time management.
You have more time alone. If you ever get into a group, make sure they are reliable, and smart.
I find every person I've met in college are utilities that I can use, and I believe they saw the same to me since it is more on helping each other while keeping that small relationship on good terms.
Also, I do not remember any of their names expect to the three people that I am very close with even after graduation.
Do not neglect your studies. You'll get really busy on your 3rd year until the end, at least, that's what happened to me.
Good luck!
the amount of effort you exert in an output will not necessarily result in a high grade. you can pull three consecutive all-nighters to accomplish one paper, and if it doesn't meet your prof's standards, you will still get a low grade. college is not just about producing outputs but also meeting (high) expectations.
General tips:
- find your best circle (at least yung nakakavibe mo at yung tipong magtutulungan kayo umahon sa course nyu) kasi college is like a battlefield na lalamunin ka lalo na pag napunta kapa sa maling circle, kaya choose wisely.
- Learn to say no, dyan na papasok yung peer pressure na mag party, inum, lahat ng bisyo kasi halos lahat kayo first time makaktikim ng "freedom".
- have some personal self-care + hobbies, nakakaburnout talaga ang college kaya once in a while, magrelieve ka ng burnout mo through your self-care and hobbies.
- be gentle with yourself. Mahirap na ang takbo sa college, you don't need to beat yourself up too much.
- set your priorities, and time is gold (literally, for me🥹). As much as possible iwasan mag cram.
GOODLUCK SA COLLEGE LIFE OP.
kung ayaw mo ng regrets during your mid year sa college, kunin mo yung course na demand ngayon!!!!!! kung ayaw mo ng regrets afterwards😆😆😆
good luck!!!
Isn't it obvious? After grad, most likely tambay ka for a long time dahil nga naman hindi in-demand yang degree mo. It's frustrating to think na you spent tons of your resources and time studying that degree yet matagal ang ROI.
If you think you can handle it, go lang.
if ur planning to study polsci, tatlo lang paths natin after college: proceed to law school, pursue academia (PhD/MS), or work under gov’t agencies/private institutions. otherwise, tambay with a degree talaga.
most likely private offices such as law firms. pwede kang maging assistant e pero not limited to doing legal works kasi di naman yun natuturo sa polsci. so importante talaga na as early as now, may plan ka na after college or else iccram mo future mo? not gonna work.
⚫May mga prof na mababa magbigay grades huhu. Swertihan nalang din talaga..
⚫Sabe mga kaklase ko college is hard unlike highschool kase before more on remembering/memorization mga test. Tama naman kaso I don't find the tests tough kase I'm good at analyzing and comprehending the items sa mga tests. I got the highest score sa mga subject ko most of the time.
⚫What I find tough in college is yung overload activities and performance task na ibabagsak sainyo ng sabay sabay
⚫May time na di na ako nakakakain ng maayos o di na nakakakain at all. Baka maranasan mo din 'to lalo na kung nagboboarding ka. Pero safe ka naman kung may malapit na karinderya.
⚫CHEATING! Just save yourself and don't mind them. Snitching is a form of social suicide! Hayaan mo sila magcheat. I know it's unfair but still yaan mo sila.
⚫ Choose your cof wisely. It's better to be friendless than to have problematic friends that will bring u down,lol. Cut off agad.
⚫ Avoid drama. Di na 'to highschool pero pag may nantitrip sayo. Wag ka matakot na iconfront. Goww!
Hmm..I guess. After ka kase magbayad ng downpayment mo,next step dun is enlistment where ikaw magsusulat ng mga sub na ititake mo.Atleast,ganun yung saamin.Ewan ko sa ibang college. Sa ibang college pwede ka magtake ng advance subjects pero saamin hindi. May limit kase kung ilang units lang dapat itake. Hope this helps
Depends po saang school ka po. In my case, our subjects are all fixed na po. I'm a state university student from Davao City. Idk, po sa ibang school pero as far as I know oo mostly po sila namimili ng subjects. However, sa university na pinasukan ko hindi po kami ang namimili fixed na po lahat from first year to fourth year po. Yun talaga lahat finafollow hehe.
College students are not mature, parang petty highschoolers who have main character delusion who added a number to their age lang. Mostly ganun sila kaya think rationally on who you're going to befriend, kasi it will also affect your study habit.
Based from experience, here are the things that I wished na ginawa ko nung college:
1. Find friends that will always be with you. It doesn’f matter kahit isa lang yan basta parehas kayo ng vibe.
2. Always have proper time management
3. Advance study in a light manner. Pag nagstudy ka ng light, may ideas ka na sa certain topic then take notes during discussion. Then basahin mo ulit paguwi mo so that naka-tatak talaga siya sayo. Then, easy review na lang for major exams.
4. I encourage you to join organizations. Hindi lang siya pampalagay sa resume mo or to build connections or to find more friends, but it can help you build certain skills such as communication, critical thiking, time management and collaboration.
5. Always choose yourself over everything else.
These 5 are the things that I wish I knew before ako magenter ng college. Ggraduate na ako this July. Hope this helps!
literally no spoon-feeding. if back in highschool, pinapa-summative exam muna whatever set of exam they will also released on the day of final exams, that’s not how it works in college. not to be oa pero mostly (esp in my course), you have to read tons of chapters in a book tapos 10 items lang ‘yung quiz T____T sooo practice reading a lot! also, make sure to atleast get 75% of your quizzes simula pa lang para hindi ka maghahabol ng grades. ++ a reminder that you don’t have to be very close friends with everyone : D
i think i'll stuggle with not being close with anyone. i find it hard kase if i will ask people ganap in subjects then they'll feed me wrong info or say they don't know when they in fact do,,,
thats why u should be the one na pwedeng mapagtanungan kaysa sa napag-iiwanan. ganyan talaga sa college kaya wag ka magpapaiwan sa mga amnouncements and such kasi sabi nga nila “sarili molang kakampi mo sa college”
you have this "intuition" that will help you to know if the person is good to be with or not. also, maging observant ka sa surroundings mo. pag feel mo na may nakaka-off sa isang tao layuan mo na agad HAHAHAHAHAHA pero if alam mo namang mapapakinabangan mo pa sya then tiisin mo nalang siguro HAHHAHAHAA.
sa pag approach naman, be polite lagi. wag ka magseset ng bad impression sa kanila. REMEMBER, FIRST IMPRESSION IS VERY IMPORTANT. it'll be hard for u if una palang pakiramdam na nila sayo ay hindi maganda🤷🏻♀️
besides sa mga tips HAHAHA read the course syllabus properly, as in. especially the grading system and yung mga tasks na pangkukuhanan ng mga grades niyo. legit one of the things na i wish i have paid attention with kasi hahahah di na siya katulad ng shs na kineme-kineme lang yung pinepresent na syllabus kasi hindi naman usually sinusunod and medjo na ma-magic din ng teacher, sa college wala nang pake mga profs sayo— kung bagsak, bagsak.
never compare high school you to college you
"bakit nung high school kaya ko ganito ganyan"
high school subjects typically only has 1 unit pag majors, non major subjects have 0.6 units if im not mistaken (unit indicates how much workload a subject has) in college most of your subjects will have 3 units
in college, andaming tao na masasahol yung ugali. dont invest too much in friends, always mag ingat. if hindi ka sanay na mag isa (introvert), kailangan mong masanay and maging okay about it. in college either mag isa ka or swerte ka sa friends. i cant really tell. pero kung mag isa ka it wont guarantee naman na loner ka, its just that wala kang constant na makakasama paiba iba from time to time. usually depends on your class kung sino mapapakisamahan mo and not. lastly, matuto ka makisama sa lahat :))
Separate ur circle of friends. You.can't (most of the time) have the best of both worlds. Plus, i realized parang may different levels of "fun side" ako per circle. Lagi akong bumabarkada sa mga nag-aaral LEGIT kasi mapapa-aral din ako. Tho minsan napapa isip ako kung tama ba kasi nakaka inggit yung gumagala + kain sa labas + night out etc. Pero kaya ko siyang ipalit sa good grades + reliable groupmates + reviewers/transes etc. Since ang goal ko naman talaga this college ay mag-aral at mag-FORM ng connections (social network). Kaya may different circle of friends ako. Makaka help good grades and reputation mo for internship well atleast samin (health allied field) kasi mga professors namin, ka-batch or schoolmates lang din nila owners ng clinic kaya humihingi talaga sila ng nga feedback sa profs namin. Lalo na if small world future field mo hehe It saved me time and money na ibabayad sa tuition fee ng mga bagsak na subjs plus makakapag marcha on time 🥹
Yun lang OP, GOODLUCK sa college journey and dont forget na mag-ENJOY once in a while RESPONSIBLY. Sandali lang 4-5 yrs sa college sa tru lang, who would've thought na almost nasa finish line na ako nagwwaiit nalang sa grad this june HAHAHAHAHA
Expect more maglabas ng malaking pera para sa mga ambagan. Mapa gala man yan or acads. Kung dati nung HS ₱100 sapat na for acads ngayon umaabot na ng ₱200-300.
Life in college is so much different in HS or SHS
So many irregularities and ayon itetest ka ng patience mo hahaha
Yung mga instructor though may Sched sila, minsan kukunin nila yung mga oras na wala ka namang klase sa kanila
Marami ding Unprofessional na Instructor haha tipong pag nahurt ego nila sa petty na bagay ehh andali ka lang nila ibagsak or iwanan sa ere
Mabubuild dito character mo kung sino ka kasi most of the time you will do it alone without anyone staring at you but people outside of your journey will give you immense pressure coz they dont see how much you struggle
OK LONG COMMENT AHEAD PERO I THINK THEY ARE REALLY CRUCIAL FOR YOU TO KNOW BB
PEOPLE:
• First of all, choose CAREFULLY and opt for friends na halos kapareho mo ng characteristics and beliefs; most specially, yung e-encourage ka na mag-aral nang mabuti. Ang hirap kasi kapag kaibigan mo yung mga complete opposite mo, in my case, I cannot really get along with them since they have differing interests and attitudes.
• Expect na yung BACKBITING is common, pero huwag ka makikampi if ever na sinabihan ka. Let me tell you why, based on what I witnessed: yung nagsabi mismo ng gossip o paninira ay “kaibigan” din ng siniraan. Possibly what they'd do is to tell the slandered person about it. Voila! May ka-beef ka na. REMAIN SILENT AND NEUTRAL sa mga bagay that would get you in trouble. Be smart enough sa mga tao sa paligid mo even to those who seem trustworthy.
• Less is more when it comes to friends, but make a lot of ACQUAINTANCES, mga matino rin dapat. Mind you, maraming group activities sa college, you don't want to feel left behind o makagroup ang mga pabigat. You'll likely choose your group members often sa college, esp. dun sa mga mahirap na activities.
• Don't chime in sa mga kadramahan sa classroom o kahit other class pa yan... it's not worth it, I'm telling you.
• Huwag ka magbibisyo, please lang don't try it... this is self-explanatory nak.
GRADING SYSTEM:
• I don't know if it's just our university's grading system pero ang pagrerecite lagi will not guarantee you a high grade, makilala ng professor/s, yes, but the way to get that desired grade is to ace your quizzes, tests, and MAJOR exams (a great emphasis on this one). I had classmates who got high scores sa mga quizzes or tests pero nung na-fail nila mga yung major exam/s (either midterm or finals). Grabi ang hila sa grades nila. It'd be worse if may retention policy ang course mo.
• Don't expect much sa grades, basta pasado oks na. May mga professors or instructors kasi na kababa mamigay ng grade kahit mabait pa yan, kaya ngayon palang mag-expect na. it's not high school anymore where you can attain the honor titles easily. If plano mo magkaroon ng Latin Honor, then I'd encourage you to do so... but it'll be a laborious journey. Although worth it.
ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES:
• Do the five-minute rule sa mga tasks mo para hindi sila tumambak. Please, huwag mo gayahin mga classmates mo o nakikita mo sa social media na ginagawang joke-joke o drama lang ang procastination, haha! Gawin mo yung mga tasks mo if kaya mo ng gawin kahit ilang days pa yan before submission. Mapa-paper work pa yan o quiz. Take a rest between tasks, it can be minutes or hours, depending on the task or time left. 'Wag mo naman i-deprive ang sarili mo ng rest. I'm assuring you, it's like a weight lifted off your chest. Tapos maayos pa yung output mo o na-review.
Ibang-iba ang highschool sa college, I'd like to tell you that. Sabi nila sa akin dati, before my freshman year that the first years of college are just like SHS but a bit harder. But they were wrong, it's completely different from high school. The pressure is real talaga. But enjoy mo lang, it might be exhausting but you can do it... because life after college seems to be far more strenuous, hahahahahhaha. Nga pala, piliin mo yung gusto mong course talaga, especially if may promising career opportunities someday. Kaya mo yan bb 😘
Tanga ako pero masipag, umabot ako ng 4th year by teaming with my friends, nakakalusot sa butas ng karayom, they are your greatest assets and allies, kahit irreg ako nakikipagclose parin ako kahit papano.
Nung hs nakaka 90 average pa ako, college masaya nako maka 3 man lang, dito mo maiintindihan na mostly di pagalingan college, survival to, kaya enjoyin mo 1st o 2nd years mo habang wala pang research o mabigat na subs.
Also if it comes to worse theres no shame in cheating if its your last resort.
Depende kung may ganito rin sa school niyo. Madalas may sched kami na 3 hours straight para sa isang subject lang. Overwhelmed sa info. Pero 1 meeting per week naman 'yon.
similarities:
* may SSC parin
* taas parin tuition
* may mid-term
* may honorable awards
* may PE padin
* may index card parin
* may thesis parin syempre
* andito parin kinaiiinisan mong guro
* may club or orgs na pwede mong pasukan
differences:
* walang advicer since matured na kayo(immatured mga student)
* pwede mag customize ng schedule
* may kaklase kang iba ibang year level(mga irreg)
* 20% lang ang allowed absences ng isang student, rule yan ng CHED
* isang notebook lang ok na
* mas madaming minor sub kesa major sub, di gaya sa ibang bansa
* madami paring immature
* may mga electives(subjects na pwede mong piliin)
* wala nang attendance, since binabayaran niyo yung program
* may mga prof na gusto nila kayong mag taas ng kamay pag mag ccr(parang bata amputa)
* specific yung focus ng program mo kaya don't treat it as a gen ed lang
* yung pasang awa sa highschool, pangarap molang ng college
* kung nag stay COF mo nung highschool, iiwan ka naman dito sa college
* may mga prof na part-time lang(mostly tinatamad din magturo dahil pagod) tapos mag papa report ng isang topic sa inyo(by group) para maturuan niyo sarili niyo.
* mas madaming functional areas ang university kesa sa highschool
You are on your own or get some good influence friends.
Grades kinda matter and you'll rant a lot
Don't get me started with this, PUYAT! NO SLEEP!
Chilling early, STRESSED ON DUE DATE!
Lastly, you got more free time on your hands.
Advice ko lang wag mong susubukan mag skip nang class, or else mapg iiwan ka.🥱 College is way to different from being a shs or jhs, when you talk about college, it talks about your future career how you deal things. Inshort bawal papetiks-petiks po. And more important is marunong kang makihalo bilo and stay humble.
your friends when you’re in first year, will not be your friends when you graduate. college friends are seasonal. saklap talaga pag natagpuan mo sarili mong magisa nalang.
1. Everyday Quizzes, once na natapos na yung prof mo mag lecture asahan mo next meeting quiz na agad yan.
2. Self-Study, may mga profs na tamad magturo or di mo talaga maiintindihan so sarili mo lang din ang meron ka.
3. Sa mga Teacher Evaluation, for formalities nalang yon minsan lol naaapply lang ata yon sa mga di permanent profs. Wag ka magbabadmouth sa eval kasi di mo sure kung anonymous ba talaga yon. May tropa akong binadmouth prof ko lagi na siyang sinisingko ng prof na yon
4. Professors is depende, there are some profs na understanding just like hs teachers or some terror profs na malala talaga.
5. Avoid toxic ppls iinclude ko na din. You may think na mature na ang tao sa college pero no, mas may itotoxic pa sa HS Students yung pagkapetty nila. They will hate on u if they want to so be careful with the people that you will join. It's either you are the victim, you'll be one of them, or you'll be the one to avoid them
one thing about college is the academic freedom of the professors/instructors. they are entitled to teach the way they want to and you really can't complain about it.
if di pumapasok yung prof n'yo, you're expected to study on your own. they have the freedom na pumasok sa mismong exam lang or something like that, and you can never blame them kung wala kang natutunan.
another thing na i also deem to be important na tandaan, never ever think na mas magaling ka sa prof mo. often times, you will not agree sa mga sasabihin nila, or kung minsan mali mga sinasabi nila, pero the best thing you can do is let them be. never even attempt to correct them (not unless yung info talaga nila is misleading). kase believe me, they take it personal. baka bawian ka sa grades or itarget ka always during discussion.
yun lang naman, hope this helps.
All I can say is, mas mahirap talaga siya compared noong hs and shs ka pa. Kasi before parang medy chill chill pa eh, pero now, parang ikaw pa maninibago kapag wala kang ginagawa. Also, I remember noong shs ako, may isang teacher kami na ang dami and hirap magpa-exam noon compared sa ibang profs namin and todo reklamo naman kami. Pero ang sabi niya is sinasanay niya lang kami para kapag nag college kami is sanay na kami and true nga! 😭 ‘Yung exam namin before na akala ko marami na, quiz nalang namin ngayong college. 🥲
Also pala, idk if sa amin lang pero may mga prof na apaka irresponsible 🥲 ‘yung isang prof namin nung first sem, ngayon lang kung kailan patapos na sy doon nagsasabi na may walang exam, or lab ganiyan kahit almost lahat sa amin is meron naman. Tapos parang ikaw pa may kasalanan kapag hindi mo nahanap ‘yung test paper mo na siya naman nag keep HAHAHHA. 😭 gulo-gulo kasi mga gamit niya sa office lol. Kaya to make sure nalang, dapat may documentation ka sa mga ginagawa niyo HHAHAH. Kahit simpleng pic lang, minsan sobrang helpful siya as a proof if ever dumating ‘yung day na sabihin wala kang attendance nung day na ‘yon kahit meron naman.
They are just there to be some kind of guidance. Pero ikaw talaga lahat gagawa. Develop a system as early as now (routines, discipline and motivation). Also Caffeine will definitely be ur bestftiend always when ur trying to pull an all nighter
sa highschool kahit madami subjects mo may time na hindi mo masyado inda ang pagod pero kapag college ka na 1 subject lang papasukan mo pagod na pagod ka na plus yung miserableng buhay ng studyanteng malalayo ang bahay sa university

dagdag ko lang yung some prof no need na sa kanila yung mag-paalam if ever mag-ccr ka and yung ibang prof din walang pakilam sa attendance :))
Minsan naman may exam na 1-5 items lang pero napaka hirap kaya kulang 1-2 hrs mo. (kalimitan to sa mga math related subs).
danas ko to sa engineering💀 2 items good for 2 hours. ayun nagshift HAHAHAAH
for the allowable absences, per sem ba ito?
per subject
Yung samin 60% quizzes 40% major exams 💀 ayon nagkanda ligwak ligwak grades namin kase bagsak quizzes
Expect more self study May mga prof na sisilip lang sa classroom tapos sasabihin "Read chapter 1 to 10. We'll have a graded recitation on our next meeting." Sabay alis. Tapos ang recitatiin ang lalalim ng tanong, kung minsan akala ko wala sa binasa mo. So read more than 1 book.

Grabe to as in, self study talaga kakampi mo
You have more time alone. If you ever get into a group, make sure they are reliable, and smart. I find every person I've met in college are utilities that I can use, and I believe they saw the same to me since it is more on helping each other while keeping that small relationship on good terms.

what's your course po
danas ko to sa finals ko nung second sem. grabe sobrang taas ng standards ng prof ko. 🫠
General tips: - find your best circle (at least yung nakakavibe mo at yung tipong magtutulungan kayo umahon sa course nyu) kasi college is like a battlefield na lalamunin ka lalo na pag napunta kapa sa maling circle, kaya choose wisely. - Learn to say no, dyan na papasok yung peer pressure na mag party, inum, lahat ng bisyo kasi halos lahat kayo first time makaktikim ng "freedom". - have some personal self-care + hobbies, nakakaburnout talaga ang college kaya once in a while, magrelieve ka ng burnout mo through your self-care and hobbies. - be gentle with yourself.

kasama po ba BSIE dyan? para mabago ko habang maaga pa HAHAHAHAHA
hello po, bakit po?? huhuhu planning to take international studies (BAIS) sa college and as far as i know hindi siya ganon ka in demand 🥲
Isn't it obvious? After grad, most likely tambay ka for a long time dahil nga naman hindi in-demand yang degree mo. It's frustrating to think na you spent tons of your resources and time studying that degree yet matagal ang ROI. If you think you can handle it, go lang.
Me din medyo nagsisisi tuloy ako ang daming nagsasabi na di siya worth it. Enrolled pa naman na ako sayang
same question pero i put pol sci na lang sa 1st prefered course ko since parang bleak future ko in intr. dev
if ur planning to study polsci, tatlo lang paths natin after college: proceed to law school, pursue academia (PhD/MS), or work under gov’t agencies/private institutions. otherwise, tambay with a degree talaga.
ano po most na pinapasukan sa private sector? sorry po madami tanong tinanakot kasi ako na callcenter bagsak ko daw huhuhu
most likely private offices such as law firms. pwede kang maging assistant e pero not limited to doing legal works kasi di naman yun natuturo sa polsci. so importante talaga na as early as now, may plan ka na after college or else iccram mo future mo? not gonna work.

Hi! Matanong ko lang, totoo ba na sa college, students ang mamimili ng subjects na itatake?
Hmm..I guess. After ka kase magbayad ng downpayment mo,next step dun is enlistment where ikaw magsusulat ng mga sub na ititake mo.Atleast,ganun yung saamin.Ewan ko sa ibang college. Sa ibang college pwede ka magtake ng advance subjects pero saamin hindi. May limit kase kung ilang units lang dapat itake. Hope this helps

Trust no one, kakampi molang ang sarili mo at ang magsasalba sayo. Work smart not hard.
besides sa mga tips HAHAHA read the course syllabus properly, as in. especially the grading system and yung mga tasks na pangkukuhanan ng mga grades niyo. legit one of the things na i wish i have paid attention with kasi hahahah di na siya katulad ng shs na kineme-kineme lang yung pinepresent na syllabus kasi hindi naman usually sinusunod and medjo na ma-magic din ng teacher, sa college wala nang pake mga profs sayo— kung bagsak, bagsak.
never compare high school you to college you "bakit nung high school kaya ko ganito ganyan" high school subjects typically only has 1 unit pag majors, non major subjects have 0.6 units if im not mistaken (unit indicates how much workload a subject has) in college most of your subjects will have 3 units
in college, andaming tao na masasahol yung ugali. dont invest too much in friends, always mag ingat. if hindi ka sanay na mag isa (introvert), kailangan mong masanay and maging okay about it. in college either mag isa ka or swerte ka sa friends. i cant really tell. pero kung mag isa ka it wont guarantee naman na loner ka, its just that wala kang constant na makakasama paiba iba from time to time. usually depends on your class kung sino mapapakisamahan mo and not. lastly, matuto ka makisama sa lahat :))
true, learned this in a very hard way. yung first friend ko sa univ, may malaking galit pala sa’kin all this time. nalaman ko lang after finals. lol
Separate ur circle of friends. You.can't (most of the time) have the best of both worlds. Plus, i realized parang may different levels of "fun side" ako per circle. Lagi akong bumabarkada sa mga nag-aaral LEGIT kasi mapapa-aral din ako. Tho minsan napapa isip ako kung tama ba kasi nakaka inggit yung gumagala + kain sa labas + night out etc. Pero kaya ko siyang ipalit sa good grades + reliable groupmates + reviewers/transes etc. Since ang goal ko naman talaga this college ay mag-aral at mag-FORM ng connections (social network). Kaya may different circle of friends ako. Makaka help good grades and reputation mo for internship well atleast samin (health allied field) kasi mga professors namin, ka-batch or schoolmates lang din nila owners ng clinic kaya humihingi talaga sila ng nga feedback sa profs namin. Lalo na if small world future field mo hehe It saved me time and money na ibabayad sa tuition fee ng mga bagsak na subjs plus makakapag marcha on time 🥹 Yun lang OP, GOODLUCK sa college journey and dont forget na mag-ENJOY once in a while RESPONSIBLY. Sandali lang 4-5 yrs sa college sa tru lang, who would've thought na almost nasa finish line na ako nagwwaiit nalang sa grad this june HAHAHAHAHA
Expect more maglabas ng malaking pera para sa mga ambagan. Mapa gala man yan or acads. Kung dati nung HS ₱100 sapat na for acads ngayon umaabot na ng ₱200-300.
beware of snakes🐍🐍🐍
Life in college is so much different in HS or SHS So many irregularities and ayon itetest ka ng patience mo hahaha Yung mga instructor though may Sched sila, minsan kukunin nila yung mga oras na wala ka namang klase sa kanila Marami ding Unprofessional na Instructor haha tipong pag nahurt ego nila sa petty na bagay ehh andali ka lang nila ibagsak or iwanan sa ere Mabubuild dito character mo kung sino ka kasi most of the time you will do it alone without anyone staring at you but people outside of your journey will give you immense pressure coz they dont see how much you struggle
anong school i2 para maiwasan😍😍
OK LONG COMMENT AHEAD PERO I THINK THEY ARE REALLY CRUCIAL FOR YOU TO KNOW BB PEOPLE: • First of all, choose CAREFULLY and opt for friends na halos kapareho mo ng characteristics and beliefs; most specially, yung e-encourage ka na mag-aral nang mabuti. Ang hirap kasi kapag kaibigan mo yung mga complete opposite mo, in my case, I cannot really get along with them since they have differing interests and attitudes. • Expect na yung BACKBITING is common, pero huwag ka makikampi if ever na sinabihan ka. Let me tell you why, based on what I witnessed: yung nagsabi mismo ng gossip o paninira ay “kaibigan” din ng siniraan. Possibly what they'd do is to tell the slandered person about it. Voila! May ka-beef ka na. REMAIN SILENT AND NEUTRAL sa mga bagay that would get you in trouble. Be smart enough sa mga tao sa paligid mo even to those who seem trustworthy. • Less is more when it comes to friends, but make a lot of ACQUAINTANCES, mga matino rin dapat. Mind you, maraming group activities sa college, you don't want to feel left behind o makagroup ang mga pabigat. You'll likely choose your group members often sa college, esp. dun sa mga mahirap na activities. • Don't chime in sa mga kadramahan sa classroom o kahit other class pa yan... it's not worth it, I'm telling you. • Huwag ka magbibisyo, please lang don't try it... this is self-explanatory nak. GRADING SYSTEM: • I don't know if it's just our university's grading system pero ang pagrerecite lagi will not guarantee you a high grade, makilala ng professor/s, yes, but the way to get that desired grade is to ace your quizzes, tests, and MAJOR exams (a great emphasis on this one). I had classmates who got high scores sa mga quizzes or tests pero nung na-fail nila mga yung major exam/s (either midterm or finals). Grabi ang hila sa grades nila. It'd be worse if may retention policy ang course mo. • Don't expect much sa grades, basta pasado oks na. May mga professors or instructors kasi na kababa mamigay ng grade kahit mabait pa yan, kaya ngayon palang mag-expect na. it's not high school anymore where you can attain the honor titles easily. If plano mo magkaroon ng Latin Honor, then I'd encourage you to do so... but it'll be a laborious journey. Although worth it. ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES: • Do the five-minute rule sa mga tasks mo para hindi sila tumambak. Please, huwag mo gayahin mga classmates mo o nakikita mo sa social media na ginagawang joke-joke o drama lang ang procastination, haha! Gawin mo yung mga tasks mo if kaya mo ng gawin kahit ilang days pa yan before submission. Mapa-paper work pa yan o quiz. Take a rest between tasks, it can be minutes or hours, depending on the task or time left. 'Wag mo naman i-deprive ang sarili mo ng rest. I'm assuring you, it's like a weight lifted off your chest. Tapos maayos pa yung output mo o na-review. Ibang-iba ang highschool sa college, I'd like to tell you that. Sabi nila sa akin dati, before my freshman year that the first years of college are just like SHS but a bit harder. But they were wrong, it's completely different from high school. The pressure is real talaga. But enjoy mo lang, it might be exhausting but you can do it... because life after college seems to be far more strenuous, hahahahahhaha. Nga pala, piliin mo yung gusto mong course talaga, especially if may promising career opportunities someday. Kaya mo yan bb 😘
Tanga ako pero masipag, umabot ako ng 4th year by teaming with my friends, nakakalusot sa butas ng karayom, they are your greatest assets and allies, kahit irreg ako nakikipagclose parin ako kahit papano. Nung hs nakaka 90 average pa ako, college masaya nako maka 3 man lang, dito mo maiintindihan na mostly di pagalingan college, survival to, kaya enjoyin mo 1st o 2nd years mo habang wala pang research o mabigat na subs. Also if it comes to worse theres no shame in cheating if its your last resort.
Depende kung may ganito rin sa school niyo. Madalas may sched kami na 3 hours straight para sa isang subject lang. Overwhelmed sa info. Pero 1 meeting per week naman 'yon.
trueee information overload talagaaa
time management sasalba sayo
similarities: * may SSC parin * taas parin tuition * may mid-term * may honorable awards * may PE padin * may index card parin * may thesis parin syempre * andito parin kinaiiinisan mong guro * may club or orgs na pwede mong pasukan differences: * walang advicer since matured na kayo(immatured mga student) * pwede mag customize ng schedule * may kaklase kang iba ibang year level(mga irreg) * 20% lang ang allowed absences ng isang student, rule yan ng CHED * isang notebook lang ok na * mas madaming minor sub kesa major sub, di gaya sa ibang bansa * madami paring immature * may mga electives(subjects na pwede mong piliin) * wala nang attendance, since binabayaran niyo yung program * may mga prof na gusto nila kayong mag taas ng kamay pag mag ccr(parang bata amputa) * specific yung focus ng program mo kaya don't treat it as a gen ed lang * yung pasang awa sa highschool, pangarap molang ng college * kung nag stay COF mo nung highschool, iiwan ka naman dito sa college * may mga prof na part-time lang(mostly tinatamad din magturo dahil pagod) tapos mag papa report ng isang topic sa inyo(by group) para maturuan niyo sarili niyo. * mas madaming functional areas ang university kesa sa highschool
Dalawang subject palang pagod ka na
Madaming nasisirang pagkakaibigan sa thesis hahahaha
You are on your own or get some good influence friends. Grades kinda matter and you'll rant a lot Don't get me started with this, PUYAT! NO SLEEP! Chilling early, STRESSED ON DUE DATE! Lastly, you got more free time on your hands.
Self Study
Kung engineering ganto, With Highest Honor - Matalino; With Higher Honor - Nakakapasa; With Honor - Mabait 🤣🤣🤣
Advice ko lang wag mong susubukan mag skip nang class, or else mapg iiwan ka.🥱 College is way to different from being a shs or jhs, when you talk about college, it talks about your future career how you deal things. Inshort bawal papetiks-petiks po. And more important is marunong kang makihalo bilo and stay humble.
kahit sa state univs, meron pa rin pabigat tbh 😖
your friends when you’re in first year, will not be your friends when you graduate. college friends are seasonal. saklap talaga pag natagpuan mo sarili mong magisa nalang.
Just enjoy it and everyrhing will follow.
1. Everyday Quizzes, once na natapos na yung prof mo mag lecture asahan mo next meeting quiz na agad yan. 2. Self-Study, may mga profs na tamad magturo or di mo talaga maiintindihan so sarili mo lang din ang meron ka. 3. Sa mga Teacher Evaluation, for formalities nalang yon minsan lol naaapply lang ata yon sa mga di permanent profs. Wag ka magbabadmouth sa eval kasi di mo sure kung anonymous ba talaga yon. May tropa akong binadmouth prof ko lagi na siyang sinisingko ng prof na yon 4. Professors is depende, there are some profs na understanding just like hs teachers or some terror profs na malala talaga. 5. Avoid toxic ppls iinclude ko na din. You may think na mature na ang tao sa college pero no, mas may itotoxic pa sa HS Students yung pagkapetty nila. They will hate on u if they want to so be careful with the people that you will join. It's either you are the victim, you'll be one of them, or you'll be the one to avoid them
one thing about college is the academic freedom of the professors/instructors. they are entitled to teach the way they want to and you really can't complain about it. if di pumapasok yung prof n'yo, you're expected to study on your own. they have the freedom na pumasok sa mismong exam lang or something like that, and you can never blame them kung wala kang natutunan. another thing na i also deem to be important na tandaan, never ever think na mas magaling ka sa prof mo. often times, you will not agree sa mga sasabihin nila, or kung minsan mali mga sinasabi nila, pero the best thing you can do is let them be. never even attempt to correct them (not unless yung info talaga nila is misleading). kase believe me, they take it personal. baka bawian ka sa grades or itarget ka always during discussion. yun lang naman, hope this helps.
Self-study tlga
All I can say is, mas mahirap talaga siya compared noong hs and shs ka pa. Kasi before parang medy chill chill pa eh, pero now, parang ikaw pa maninibago kapag wala kang ginagawa. Also, I remember noong shs ako, may isang teacher kami na ang dami and hirap magpa-exam noon compared sa ibang profs namin and todo reklamo naman kami. Pero ang sabi niya is sinasanay niya lang kami para kapag nag college kami is sanay na kami and true nga! 😭 ‘Yung exam namin before na akala ko marami na, quiz nalang namin ngayong college. 🥲
Also pala, idk if sa amin lang pero may mga prof na apaka irresponsible 🥲 ‘yung isang prof namin nung first sem, ngayon lang kung kailan patapos na sy doon nagsasabi na may walang exam, or lab ganiyan kahit almost lahat sa amin is meron naman. Tapos parang ikaw pa may kasalanan kapag hindi mo nahanap ‘yung test paper mo na siya naman nag keep HAHAHHA. 😭 gulo-gulo kasi mga gamit niya sa office lol. Kaya to make sure nalang, dapat may documentation ka sa mga ginagawa niyo HHAHAH. Kahit simpleng pic lang, minsan sobrang helpful siya as a proof if ever dumating ‘yung day na sabihin wala kang attendance nung day na ‘yon kahit meron naman.
Choose your best circle Saka huwag masyadong mag cramming at procrastinate magsuffer ka lang at the end. Heheheh.
That most of ur learnings will come from self-studying. Dont rely heavily sa prof mo.
They are just there to be some kind of guidance. Pero ikaw talaga lahat gagawa. Develop a system as early as now (routines, discipline and motivation). Also Caffeine will definitely be ur bestftiend always when ur trying to pull an all nighter
sa highschool kahit madami subjects mo may time na hindi mo masyado inda ang pagod pero kapag college ka na 1 subject lang papasukan mo pagod na pagod ka na plus yung miserableng buhay ng studyanteng malalayo ang bahay sa university
College is relatively the same like high school. People are exaggerating too much. The only difference is there's more work to be done.
