Hello! Hopefully everyone is doing well and taking care of themselves after this term. I just wanted to share my experience for my first ever quarterm experience, cause tbh everything bad that could have happened, happened to me. First both my desktop and my laptop broke at the exact time hell week was about to start, so there were so many deadlines, projects and activities i had to do and most of them required a pc to complete, so i ended up renting and borrowing laptops until the end of the term since both repairs for my laptop and desktop were too expensive. It was extremely hard and tiring because i was almost always never home because of night classes and the endless borrowing and renting of laptops along with studying for major subjects and doing deadlines, and when i did get home i had to do more activities, chores, etc. But after all those hardships and challenges, i can confidently say that I passed my subjects, some by just 1 point above failing (70-75) and some with a fairly good grade (90+). I know some are probably going through tougher hardships but even though it may seem helpless, you just have to push through since youre the only factor you can actually control. But tbh I can only take so much of this before my brain goes completely crazy.

TO THE ALUMNI, IS MAPUA REALLY THIS WORTH IT? 😭😭😭

wala share ko lang na i passed one of my courses na i was sure gonna fail 🥹

Baka may recommended profs po kayo for my upcoming courses. Tyyy!!!

hi. 3rd yr na sana ako, kaso im still on my 2nd yr 1st term. and honestly? nakakapanghina minsan. nung una inaamin ko hindi ko medjo ginalingan. akala ko kaya ko, hindi pala. nakailang retake na ako ng physics 1, ana chem 1, calc 2, and marami pang majors, pati na rin che cal 1, nakakapagod pala no? mula manila hanggang antipolo rizal. tapos ayaw pa ako pag dorm ng mama ko kasi wala siyang tiwala sakin. because i keep lying to her daw, and honestly? totoo naman. kasi every time na gagawin ko ung gusto niya. nagagalit siya, san san nanaman daw ako pupunta, puro raw ako kain kahit may pagkain naman sa bahay. puro raw ako gala sa mga kaibigan ko, eh ang totoo, dati, twice or thrice a week lang kami mag hangout ng mga kaibigan ko. and minsan ayoko na rin, mahirap pala makipagsabayan sa mga naka dorm and mga mayayaman no? ayoko na. hindi naman kasi ako nakikipagsabayan eh, nakikipagkaibigan lang ako. and by the end of the term, last three terms, i tried to limit my hangouts w them and focusing mostly on my studies, but i guess wala pa rin talaga. ang hirap lumaban ng patas dito. naging classmates ko ulit mga kaibigan ko and by the time na napapansin nila na medjo lumalayo ako (or like umuuwi agad, no interactions w them or like lil convos lang) idk. i feel so like..? hindi ko alam, i guess kasalanan ko naman. until nalaman ko nagtulong tulungan pala sila para makapasa sa isang sub without telling me. (ig thats what the “connections” do huh?) habang ako nag kanda uga uga para maipasok sa isip ko ung lessons, and no, im not jealous. its just.. ang unfair minsan no? pero idc anymore. wala lang ako mapagsabihan. wala na talaga. psensya na. i tried my best this term, i though im doing good, i was really good. but i guess wala pa rin talaga. no matter what i do. and i planned to work na rin as a part time para kahit papaano di na aq susumbatan ni mama.. ayun lang. i still feel guilty kasi alam kong kapag nalaman ni mama na i treated myself today even tho i don’t deserve this, she’ll say. “gastos nanaman, may pagkain naman sa bahay. puro ka naman bagsak” i tried to confront her this morning if makakapag dorm ba ako, ang sabi niya? mag transfer nalang ako. i feel so suffocated rn, hindi ako makpag aral dito sa bahay. nahihirapan ako sa byahe. tas ayaw pa ako pag dorm. hindi ko na alam.

but.. i guess after all of those, i still plan to go ahead for my future. kahit mahirap. kahit ganito. alam kong may mararating ako, pinagdadamutan lang ako ng oras.

i was really good…

Ilan po passing kay sir?

pls pls pls magmamakaawa na ung tao o

ano po passing kay sir itable?

As an mma, I know how important it is to get out there and show the world your work and whatever skill, character, talent you have. Make connections, network and create memories, all while prioritizing studies.
But in the end, I only want to... just live? I always thought everyone is ahead of me, and that I, a selective introvert, have no chance of becoming 'that' student. It's a stereotype.
I'm not fortunate. I just have a normal separated family that often has food insecurity. I'm not a rich kid just because I get to study here by my tita's help.
I just chose this course because I thought it fits someone like me who likes to create, write and make art.

I can't stand making fake connections out of desperateness because it's just not who I am. I've been born sheltered and just finding people, classmates who I deemed "like me" despite having better circumstances gives me hope that "normal" doesn't exist.

I stopped comparing myself, even if my brain forces me to.
Yes I do admit, I have a hard time with research and complex tasks because the education I had back then wasn't quality.
Right now, I am just surviving. I admit the guilt that sprout inside me back then when I failed a class I should've been studying along time ago.
I'm not that special and I just want to create things for the love of it.

I used to cry about grades back then, for being below average, blaming myself.
Now, I just hang in on a thread, thinking if everything is worth it.

Some students want to aim high, while I try to survive everyday and the uncertainty of a tomorrow I swore wont ever exist when I was 16. I'm 20 now. I lived. I freaking lived.

pumapayag ba pag nag-beg kay sir Baun? 1.88% nalang para ko ma meet yung cut-off grade nya. Gagana ba ang pagbebeg ko? hahahaha thank you.

Naglalagay ba sya fg sa bb or gulatan nlng sa portal

selling pe uniform (L) for only 600, never used. mag ttransfer na kasi ako. dm me if interested 😊

Up until now wala paring nagrrelease ng average sa lahat ng subjects ko huhu kahit activities wala pa ring grade for me to compute my average, when will be the submission of grades and viewing?

Nag cucurve po ba si sir?

Even though the grades for the 1st term haven't been released yet, I can already tell I failed. I was too used to my SHS semester flow and fumbled the 1st term. I'm a 1st-year AIE student and have fumbled some of my subjects already. There's no one to blame but myself.

I decided to reflect on what I have done in my 1st term and realized it was indeed all my fault. Not my classmates, not my professors, not my friends, but me. I should've done my tasks on time, reviewed properly, and asked for help when I needed it. I was too afraid to even ask my parents for help since I don't want to burden them because my father works late at night and my mother takes care of everything in my home.

Ever since I reflected upon myself, I realized I have to change. I have to wake up early, do my tasks immediately, study well, and ask for help. This time, I won't give up. I'm starting to believe in myself. I had my reassurance from my new friends sa section ko and my best friends. I talked with my parents and told them why this happened, and they didn't scream at me. They understood me.

My parents and professors were right. I'm a procrastinator, and I should've done my work on time. This time, I won't be procrastinating.

To the people in Mapua who are also experiencing this now, I believe in you too. You can change and improve. You too can rise up from the ashes like a phoenix. I BELIEVE AND LOVE YOU, STANGER! YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THE TOUGH TIMES! DON'T GIVE UP!

Hello! Please, I really need help with CE Correl. I know the fundamentals and basics naman, pero kapag actual exam na, nagme-mental block ako and nahihirapan akong sagutan yung problems kahit familiar naman sa akin yung concepts.

Sa mga nakapasa na sa CE Correl, I would really appreciate your honest and brutal recommendations. Ano po yung mga ginawa ninyo na talagang nakatulong sa inyo? How did you prepare, practice solving problems, and overcome mental blocks during exams?

I’m willing to put in the work. I just need advice on how to study more effectively and apply what I know when answering exam questions.

Thank you so much po! Any advice would mean a lot.

If i fail my gwa will i be out in mapua already? for this sem?

I might sound stupid to say this, I should’ve studied more even though andami kong major subjects na na need kong iprioritize (lalo na in this quarterm setup) and I had to deal with org duties as well (that’s really inexcusable, I take full credit for that). Does sir Itable curve? If yes, mga ilang percent lng tinatanggap nya?

nag-uupload ba ng grades si sir quitalig sa bb? hahaha coursera at online quiz lang laman ng gradebook

may chance pa ba pumasa if 64 yung current grade? sabi kasi ng prof namin wait na lang sa blackboard for additional points. second take ko na kasi to kaya kinakabahan talaga ako. i’m worried kasi hindi niya pinapakita sa bb yung raw grade diretso sa mymapua na so huhu

okay so HAHAHAH i js know that he is 6’0-1 tall and moreno and taking up an engineering program, the all apple eco system and goes to bar occasionally HELP ME PLS

To all quarterm survivors (before trisem), how do you guys manage burnout after the quarter? I feel like the one week break will just fly by tas start na ulit second quarter huhu.
