How do I even begin writing this? It’s been a long ride and I’m actually surprised that I managed to come this far. After a lot of complaining and a lot of tweeting “auq na” and a lot of crying and a lot of mental breakdowns, finally we’re nearing the end of sem. There’s a lot of tips I’d like to give my old self and hopefully I follow all the advice that I’d write here for the next semester.
Tip #1: For the love of all the gods, stop procrastinating. I don’t even know how to actually stop this habit because old habits die hard but please know when to stop chilling and get on your paper! I guessed the reason why I still cram is because I still manage to pass my requirements but of course, it’s still a bad habit and it causes a lot of stress. I’ve always told myself that I work better under pressure but that’s a load of shit, I do not work better under pressure, in fact I actually get so overwhelmed that I just write for the sake of having something to pass. Okay lang kahit di maayos, basta may gawa. And that needs to stop because you’re a college student now, this is not high school. It’s important that you do your best and actually strive hard.
Tip #2: Stop staying up late when you know full well that you can’t wake up early. Please remember that being late is a sign of disrespect and laziness. And while it’s true that you’re lazy, keep in mind that, again, college ka na. It’s time to part ways with the habit of being late all the time.
Tip #3: Manage your time wisely. Doing assignments is more important than scrolling through your Twitter feed. If you don’t manage your time, you’d end up being buried in a lot of school work. Then, you’ll get so stressed that you can’t even find the will to start. Set your priorities straight, you can still browse through social media later, but your assignments needs your attention now.
Tip #4: Don’t be too hard on yourself. Hindi ka bobo, you’re intelligent but uninformed. CHAROT JHSFHDS but really, just because you don’t know something doesn’t mean your dumb. It just means that you have to study more. And don’t compare yourself to others, your race is not theirs.
Tip #5: In times where you feel like giving up, remember that there are always people that are cheering for you. Always thank everyone that were with you in trying times. You are not alone.
College life has been very tiring and it drained the hell out of me. I know that there were times that I didn’t do my best but I know better now.
