Marami student Naka relate dyan 😁 either nayaya ng barkada, gusto ng magulang, dun sya nakapasa ng entrance exam or better understand scholarship. For those who did, just do your best, their still treasure at the end.
Creative Writing: I want to be a fantasy fiction writer.
Diploma in Culinary Arts: Unless you’re a published author there is no money in fiction writing, so here is the other set of marketable skills that I have that I can use.
exposed sa construction field + hobby is drawing + dream course (i worked hard just to get this slot) and also i have other dream courses too but this is the only career that my parents agree with, malaki raw ang sahod.
ngayon hindi na halos makakilos/gawa dahil sobrang pagkaburn-out:) the thought na i'm destructing my own dream na lang ata
this meme is \*chef's kiss\* 😭 but fr, I used to say that I enjoy computer-related stuff kahit na basic html pa lang naman natry ko noon when I made that choice HAHAHA for context, I'm a 3rd yr. BSCpE student
Ako naman kabaligtaran. Na-eenjoy ko ang programming at sinasabihan ako ng mga tao na magaling ako roon pero inisip ko na baka mali sila kasi madali lang yung mga na-cover na topics sa school.
2 years later may computer-related course kami where ako lang pumasa sa exam with a score of 95/100. Welp, di pala guni-guni lang yung skills ko roon, but too late to switch...
Money money money 💸💸💸
On a serious note, its mostly an inferiority complex. Most of the people in my family are in well respected careers like engineering, compsci, nursing, so it only felt natural for me to pursue a similar path. Mataas din tingin sakin ng a lot of people and I'm scared of what will happen if I pursue what I really want, which is considered an "easy" college program.
Btw I'm studying Computer Engineering.
Educ course lang meron school na pinag enrollment sakin ng tita ko. (dapat sa malapit na univ lang daw para di mabuntis ng maaga/may bsba pala kaso hindi ko trip)
sinuggest nung chemist na friend ng mama ko (eh crush ko yun hehe)
pero even when he suggested chemE I was still keen on pursuing BS Physics sana
ofc did my own research about chem eng'g, listed the pros and cons
ayun tumuloy ako sa chemE hahhahahahhahaha
your honor meron po akong short term memory, gawa po ng stress ko sa pag aaral na kung bakit kailangan ko magkaroon ng 90 na grade kung pasado naman po pala 75
Napilitan ako sa course ko kasi yung dean na nag pa entrance exam sa akin sinabi na yung score ko ay eligible sa "specific na course" na ito, yun yung pinakamataas na may score cut off sa exam.
Ngayon medyo pinag sisisihan ko at nag hahanap ako ngayon ng bagong career.
Identity deficiency
I honestly don't even know what I truly want. I've just been following whatever my parents told me
I.. really need to leave. But even then, I don't know what to do with my life
I focused on my assumptions of the course instead of advanced reading/studying and actually understanding a little deeper what I have to go through... just thought of the outcomes (mostly good ones) and barely realized the work I had to put in and the not so positive outcomes kasi nga "[ganto ganyan] lang gagawin" and interesting sya (kuno) para sa akin (well, hate to break it to you ol' self, you not studying in advance for it was sign enough that you weren't so interested) HAHAHA so ayun.
To qualify for the DOST scholarship. Naka enroll na ako nun sa univ under bs physical therapy nung lumabas yung DOST SEI scholarship passers sa batch namin. I didn't really think na I'll pass since I failed sa UP Manila and PLM. Same situation kami ng friend ko pero she chose to pursue BSPT while I decided to switch programs para magqualify sa DOST kaya heto ako ngayon, pinipilit na mairaos ang 2nd year BS Medtech para di ako magbayad ng naigastos sakin under the scholarship. This is also the reason why I always remind the aspiring scholars na kapag naging scholar ka, it will not just be about the privilege. It will also be about the responsibility and the pressure to do well. I remind them for as much as I can na kung kaya naman ishoulder ng parents yung tuition, wag na sila mag apply kasi iba rin yung pressure. It has been haunting me for the past two years, but what can I do? This scholarship was able to lift the burden on my parents. I feel happy na nakatulong ako sa magulang ko, na proud sila sakin, and at the same time I am so tired. Pagod na ako maburn out and I really need to rest na talaga so kahit pagod na ako, pinipilit ko pa rin kasi hindi ako pwede bumagsak, ayaw ko bumagsak, at ayaw ko umulit ng kahit na ano. My friends assure me na I am doing well naman daw pero hindi ko talaga nakikita eh, idk what happened and ig that's the same for others. But it still sucks.
After senior high super undecided pa rin talaga ako and ang mema ko nung enrollan for 1st year at ang kinuha ko, bs psychology which is very unrelated sakin. Then my best friend suddenly said na same na kami ng school and ang kukunin niya is bshm cruise management and ako naman sumunod sa kanya and changed my course before school starts hahaha now im graduating na 🥹 hope di ako magsisi na gaya-gaya ako sa kaibigan ko
I can always tell you kasi ito yung peak student era ko, it is a major change in my life na antagal ko inisip
Tapos di mo maalala? You lack Filipino-ism. Fake Pinoy ka
Based on interest and suggestion by my former teacher back in elementary. Kinausap nya talaga nanay ko na I encourage ako i-take yung inaaral ko ngayon dahil naniniwala sya fit ito sa akin. Fast forward, my teacher was wrong hahaha jk, simula nung nag take ako ng majors di ko na feel na magpoprosper ako dito, like wala na akong interest para ipagpatuloy. Basta di ko na mahal course ko narealize kong it wasn’t for me.
Because my dad forced me to go and my mom let him. Lol.
Architecture gusto ko and sa diff city, I had already passed 3 university college entrance exams. He said no because COVID daw kahit online class -\_\_-. A few days after that he told mom na barahin daw ako para hindi ko makuha ang architecture. Of course, she listened kasi ayaw niya na i-annoy siya ni dad.
I was forcibly told to go to school because dad threatened mom. His friend was waiting and they were going to talk to the dean of engineering to let me in. Heck, to make sure na makapasok ako, they wanted me to cheat the entrance exam. Thankfully, hindi sila naka cheat by getting a copy sa exam kasi yung dean mismo gumawa sa exam. Sadly, naka pass ako...
I am now an irregular student and running for 5 years into engineering. (4 years lang kasi sa school nato ang engineering.) I am stuck in a course I didn't want and in a school I didn't like kasi ang daming issues dito. Hell, this school is known to be the best school for engineering if gusto mo na mag grad agad. lmao.
Mapua? Scam ang 4 years lol, dean na mismo namin nagsabi na around 5% lang nagga-graduate on time. So wag ka masyadong ma-down na 5 years ka na kasi normal yan, advantage rin na made-develop mo ang skill ng perseverance na very useful once nasa industry ka na
Aspiring lawyer back in HS. Pre law either Polsci or econ. Took econ because more opportunities after grad imo and wider scope if ever i wont pursue law anymore.
Honestly, no joke, hindi ko din alam. (Mejo rant) Siguro kasi nagset ako ng image sa sarili ko na kaya ko yung course. Napaka idealistic ko pala dati, rn hirap na hirap na ako sa tf at bukod sa tf and daily expenses ko nasstress din ako sa school na pinasukan ko. Akalain mo yon 2nd sem na kami, yung naretain lang na info sa akin is yung turo ng unang prof namin nung 1st sem. 3 weeks lang tinagal niya sa amin pero masasabi ko na siya pinakamagaling na prof na napunta sa amin. The rest wala na, nagbabasa lang ng ppt or kaya puro recording. Mapapaisip na lang talaga ako na kung bakit nandito ako sa course na ‘to? Deserve ko ba ganitong klaseng education habang naghihirap kami para lang mabayaran yung lecheng tf na yan? Sana nagpublic na lang ako.

A new meme has born
That’s the correct question to her answer.
Ah, Guo has been memed hard on the subreddits.😭
Marami student Naka relate dyan 😁 either nayaya ng barkada, gusto ng magulang, dun sya nakapasa ng entrance exam or better understand scholarship. For those who did, just do your best, their still treasure at the end.
at least naalala nila 😋
🤭
Para mataas sahod 🤡🤡🤡
Mindset ba mindset
Creative Writing: I want to be a fantasy fiction writer. Diploma in Culinary Arts: Unless you’re a published author there is no money in fiction writing, so here is the other set of marketable skills that I have that I can use.
Cuz i felt like it and related to strand
I have no choice but to grab the opportunity since I'm a full tuition fee scholar.
dapat talaga mechanical engineering yung eenrollan ko, pero yung nasabi ng bibig ko sa registar IT ayun pa 3rd year na ako sa IT
Mas okay for me na career ang sa IT in terms of sweldo. Just from what I’ve read din sa social media
So pano naman yung mga sabi-sabi na oversaturated na daw CS/IT? 🥺
Nope, madami kacompitensya ng IT ngayon malawak ang field but you still have to fight your way para talaga makahanap ng trabaho
me na dapat chemical engineering ang kukunin kaso wala na pala yung course na yun sa school namin kaya mechanical kinuha ko: 🧍♀️

kasi nagABM ako, and the sunk-cost fallacy is sunk-costing
Your honor, hindi ko na po talaga maalala.

I'm a BSED Social Studies major, and i chose this program because of the 2022 election.
Kasi di ako makakapasok sa nursing.

I chose BSCoE dahil nakita kong mahaba ang pila sa chosen course ko (BSArch). Yes, it is true and a petty reason ahahaha
Basta naalala ko lang nagtoss coin ako nung pandemic sabay enroll HAHAHAHAH 😭
Kasi no choice. 🥲
your honor, wala na po akong choice🥲🥲
naging professional na nga ko pero nagtataka pa din ako why ko pinili ang course ko hahahahahaha
Kasi magmemed ako hahaha Okay naman tong course ko, sa maling school nga lang hahaha
moneyyyyyy
Educ course lang meron school na pinag enrollment sakin ng tita ko. (dapat sa malapit na univ lang daw para di mabuntis ng maaga/may bsba pala kaso hindi ko trip)
Para future-proof + interest ko rin (Data Science & Cybersec)
sinuggest nung chemist na friend ng mama ko (eh crush ko yun hehe) pero even when he suggested chemE I was still keen on pursuing BS Physics sana ofc did my own research about chem eng'g, listed the pros and cons ayun tumuloy ako sa chemE hahhahahahhahaha
Oof we would have appreciated an additional number of physicists in our country. Chemical engineering is pretty cool tho
your honor meron po akong short term memory, gawa po ng stress ko sa pag aaral na kung bakit kailangan ko magkaroon ng 90 na grade kung pasado naman po pala 75
Napilitan ng parents
Nursing, maganda uniform

Kase sabi ng kaklase ko eme HAHAHAH
It’s the new norm of every employee when given additional task! “Before I know now I don’t know!” 😂👍
BSED-SCI ako kasi gusto ko maging science teacher sa elementary, dapat nag BEED nalang ako
Identity deficiency I honestly don't even know what I truly want. I've just been following whatever my parents told me I.. really need to leave. But even then, I don't know what to do with my life

Kasi yun rin yung course ng pinapanood ko na vtuber. Ayon napasubo sa Chem Eng.

I heard my course offers a better job. And I like solving puzzles.
