2nd year na ulit ako!! (1st term, Sophomore Year)

One of the most productive yet stressful term. Full of challenges and if you don't play your game well, you will definitely lose something you worked hard for. My first term as a sophomore student/ a transferee and finally survived it (Second year na ulit ako at finally mauubos na minor ko hopefully). First semester of my sophomore year at my former university ended as my journey and passion in pursuing my studies in Psychology went downhill.

I'm grateful that I managed to get on top of those challenges. I remembered the days wherein I'm doubting myself and the thirst for inspiration is so real, to continue to do what I do and luckily I had a friend who motivated me and this person inspired me and fueled my passion once again in my course.

There are pictures with captions if you don't want to read the whole blog, though if you'll gonna read it, I'll be grateful!

If you want to read my previous blog posts about my "every term" blog posts, its just located at the "home" page.

Timeline (First Term, Sophomore Year)

January 2018

This was the time wherein, I thought to myself "what a hassle schedule"

attached below is my schedule

As you can see, I have a lot of time for Tuesday but for the whole month of January til the 2nd week of February I'm always stressed because I have to do errands and things that has something to do with my health which is my check up, so I really have to find a time for my check up and find a schedule as well for my passport renewal appointment.

And the fact that I don't have a Friday class but have a Saturday class is so draining then the next day is training because on Sundays we train. For Monday, PE/ Pain on my arms because I don't know how to play basketball or even volleyball but overall it was a very fun subject and so refreshing because of how cool our prof is.

Anyways, what happened in January was the org that "I am still applying to, up to this term" requires me to do some things, until I don't know what month, to be assessed and be an official part of the org.
I had to interview quite a lot of people about a topic and over all I was too tired and my time to study and even meet friends to have lunch with them are being sacrificed. 

Until one time the org requires us to apply for an "approved absence form" for a school activity but then I decided that my conscience can't take it lol due to the fact that I know that in the future I might need those days for really important "excused" absences. And so, I left the org that I'm "applying" to because as I've said I'm not part of it and wasn't even a part of it lol. But its okay, its my choice though it is really fun to do the things that they do and organize events I just don't think that, that kind of life won't be suitable for me and will eventually won't have the time and the will to do things that I love to do anymore. But I'm still thankful.

I also interviewed my Best Friend's(Kyla) Dad, he is a VFX Director and for one of our major subject we need to at least interview five film professionals for our midterm project. I'm really thankful with Kyla and her Dad because it meant a lot. This was also the time wherein me and my FEU Friends went to bond at Table Taft wherein they have different board games for groups and can also be for pairs.

February 2018

The time wherein I went to some events for one of my design foundation subject, it was actually fun to go to such events like Pasinaya 2018, though I didn't have any companion because some of my friends didn't go and some went on different dates because our schedules don't match. 

It was also the time wherein I interviewed my favorite Director for one of my major subject, still. Direk JP Laxamana! I was so stoked upon meeting him and was stars trucked. I had training in the morning and our schedule for the interview shoot is at 6pm so I decided to watch "Maze Runner" first at Megamall because it will be a hassle to go home (south) to the shoot location which is at north. The wait was actually worth it, even though time went by so quick.

I decided to join marathons as well in preparation for my skating competition and to help boost my endurance but sometimes I don't get to sign up because of my schedule that makes me exhausted but soon enough I'll post a different blog about joining marathons in the future.

I was also hooked with Black Mirror for the whole month of February even though the hype already went down, and its okay I only got a few time to spare and watch and chill that's why it feels rewarding, although most of the endings makes my mind go crazy as to the future of technology gives hints by the shows that are being shared.

I drank a few glasses of tap water or "free water" from our cafeteria one morning, and after sometime gave different feeling on my stomach that's when I thought I was having LBM like I was p**ping all day at different floors with our restrooms' comforting bidets, Thank God for their existence in our school. In short, I learned my lesson that's why I always carry my tumbler with me since then or sometimes if I don't, I just buy expensive bottled water that our cafeteria has to offer lol/sells.

March 2018

I thought my February schedule was packed, didn't know that the last two months of this term will make my mind ecstatic. 

It was full of activities, fun activities I must say. Like going to the SDA Theatre to watch a film that is required by some subjects, it is more of like a fun thing to do than an errand or something you would just do for the grade, well in this case, Not . I probably watched a lot of films these past few months or should I say I saw different stories with different plot twists within a span of 3 months than all the past years that I have lived (seriously, though). I'm also glad that my NSTP 2 has come to an end, by means of that is me being done with teaching it was fun and tiring at the same time but as I've said IM GLAD, I'm over it...period.

I also had to interview with my former prof, for another subject. I was shocked when he was referred to me to be interviewed for that topic because I did not expect to see him "again", considering I asked for a reconsideration for something a few terms ago, so it was really awkward... but if it isn't for that subject I already let go of doing the interview. Plus I don't have a choice, he is the only one who's available though it's really awkward when you tried your best in his subject LOL.

Anyways, a lot of film viewing and the time approached by fast with March because I was also preparing my things, flight and myself for my competition at the end of March, so it was a really busy month.

April 2018

Few weeks more before we get our 5 days break, which we all dreamt of having after all the "stressed" us, students have experienced.

It was good, though IT really collides with my other schedule which is for sports, doing the interviews and the schedules are pretty packed sometimes late sometimes early, I tried to balance it and at the end... my grades went well by planning things ahead of time. But with no good amount of sleep.

Though it was risky, I had to really do some of my things in advance like one advanced exam or even skipping the second to the last day of our meeting in one subject before the finals. It is always a matter of discipline by following what I plan to do and how to do it quickly as possible.


Subjects (I ain't dropping any name of subjects) (though my schedule is up there, you wouldn't know on which subject it happened anyways hehe might as well share so I can remember it also in the future)

Some of my profs are really great and inspiring like my PE Prof, very funny and always jolly, he always looks at the positive side and gives us motivation to do the things that he asks us to do in basketball and volleyball. My major subject prof is very chill and made us watch a lot of films which was great, I like watching and learning at the same time. Then most of my other profs are okay but some are silent killers.

Group
Hay, Every term there will always be a bunch of free loaders that needs to be fueled up with fire. The feeling of doing such things and some people don't even bother to help. I, myself probably once become a free loader but not to the extent of not really putting my input, just when some instances when one takes control of the things and likes to do most of the things, but I always try to ask if there is anything that I could help. Especially the time wherein me and my friend gave all our effort, sacrificed our time and even spend a few hundreds for our project and some group mates did not even bothered and kept on complaining which made them so annoying. I have 0 tolerance with those kind of people and will probably "if given the chance" to peer rate, will really give you what you deserve.

Kasi dude, hello... seriously we worked really hard, I don't even think they deserve to pass, considering they are just like displays in our class. Anyways, hopefully next term those kind of people vanish from my sight.

The group that I really liked is my Intecom group, even though our subject makes us really stressed, my group mates are really nice and so chill and everybody does their own thing and cooperates, Oh God how I wish my future group mates be like my intecom groupmates.

Though, some groupmates were also fun to be with and probably I forgot about it though I have mention some, I will never get over the group wherein it switched from group to pair work.

Friends

I'm glad that there are people who inspired me, and gave me hopes when there are times I was feeling down, well this is college you really have to expect the best and the worst and sometimes you have to accept it but most of the time you have speak up when something feels wrong or if something is not right. It feels good when you have someone to talk to and these are the people who also strives to be the best that they can be and I'm happy that I'm surrounded with these people and together we motivate each other and survive each term until we graduate.

My Thoughts/ Conclusion (LOL)

Planning and discipline is always the key in surviving every term. You really have to focus if you have a goal, may it be to be a dean's lister or by having an organization, building relationships or joining sports. If you want to step up your game, you have to let go of the things that are holding you back, imagine the things you can't do alone before, you can now without the need of someone's company. Because there will always be those days wherein you will need yourself, not anyone but only you can help you solve your own problem. Friends will understand if you got errands to do, and you should be understanding with them as well. Sometimes you have to hold yourself up and show that you can do it even if your world or your grades are falling apart there will always be a solution.
