This is gonna be your support system 🙂
Sis,
In the course of four months, you had your best laughs, your heavy tears, and your untrue smiles. There are many instances that you felt less confident and more pressured. Sometimes, the best kinds of people cannot fill the emptiness in your heart. And most of the times, you were overly happy that you forget about your responsibilities as a student. Now, your first semester in UPLB is about to come to an end, you have regrets that bother you every night. Regrets that taught you lessons about college life and LIFE itself.
Though you are about to survive this semester, I still want to talk to you about what you should have been done four months ago.
- Do. Not. Ever. Procrastinate. Pls.
That is the RULE. You think about your paper works and activities every single time to the point that it stresses you out but you don’t even work to get it done. Procrastination is a total waste of time and a delay of progress. And girl, you don’t want a delay especially in college. Also, you don’t want to miss any deadlines just because you postponed your activity thinking that it can be accomplished after some time, but in real life, that time won’t come. Be mindful of your schedule and take the opportunity to lessen your drawbacks in life through doing everything AHEAD OF TIME.
The UPLB wifi and your apartment wifi will surely distract you from studying, that is a fact. So, limiting your time scrolling on your phone and minimizing your surfing hours on the internet is one of the best advices I could give you to be able to focus primarily on academics. If you have a lot of work in your hands, feel free to unplug the distractions. On the other hand, there are times that you need to get data from the internet then, you reconnect again. Just remember, do not abuse your use of social media since it will definitely affect your performance at school.
- Do not be afraid to seek for help
There will be annoying people around. There will be stressful days that you think you can’t handle. You might have a problem with your physical, emotional, or mental health. There will be lazy days and some unexpected sad events. These problems might emerge during your first four months in college, so ask for help when you need it. If you can’t deal with someone so annoying, talk to your other friends and ask advice on what is the right thing to do. If you are really stressed out, call your family to boost your energy. If you don’t know what to do, ask your classmates nicely and they will help you figure things out. If you are experiencing a physical ailment, immediately go to the UHS and see a physician. If you are feeling anxious, schedule a consultation with a health professional and go out with your friends more often. Bottom line: You can’t live alone in UP. You will always ask for help and so, choose to help others as well.
In college, you will be offered a variety of unhealthy foods in your table. But mind you, there are better options! You have to realize that there are plenty of not only healthy but also delicious foods out there. Also, engage in physical activities for you to not get stressed out easily. Eat more fruits and vegetables every day and stay away from too much processed foods. Your health is important for college survival. Do not take it for granted, ever.
Every class- hours your brain will continue to function and at the end of the day, it will ask for a rest. Sis, grant your brain’s wish and it will give you your peace of mind. The human body needs a time- out after an exhausting day so why don’t you take a break for yourself. It is important that you survive your first semester in college with your sanity still intact. Reward yourself if you want and rest if you must.
The fact that you got into college in the first place is already an achievement. I would like to congratulate you for that.
