My Experiences and Journey in My Chosen Course

Hi, I am a first-year college student pursuing Bachelor of Science in Accountancy at Sacred Heart College. Before entering my chosen course, I already had expectations because many people in Social Media are sharing about their experiences thus, I know what to expect. Although, I still got very overwhelmed. Many people are saying this course is difficult, especially for me, as a STEM student. My SHS strand were not aligned with my chosen course. At first, I was nervous for my first day because I was afraid I would not make any friends. Thankfully, after the first week, I already had a circle of friends who I can rely on, I can vent to, and I am comfortable with. I did not expect that I would make friends easily but I am so grateful to my blockmates who approached me first. The teachers were also great and although some were a bit strict, I fully understand why. Moreover, I like how all of them are direct and straight to the point. Also, I particularly like one of my teacher in a major subject. He really makes an effort to teach the lessons effectively considering that it can be hard for students that did not graduate the ABM strand. I also like that they are very hands-on when it comes to learning. For example is when we use computers in the computer lab, use books in the e-library, and others.

A memorable experience I will never forget is when I entered a competition for 'Buwan ng Wika' for the PPOP category. Through this competition, I really got to close my seniors who are very welcoming and kind-hearted. Because of them, I had so much fun and made me want to join more competitions here at SHC in the future. I am also very glad that I took the opportunity to join because I gained new knowledge, new friends, and new experiences. I am enjoying school life so far, even though at times, yes, it can be difficult, but I do not worry so much because I have my friends with me. I feel like I can overcome anything with their presence and comfort.

a faculdade anda meio pesada, não sei se sou eu que estou meio desanimada ou se é puxado assim mesmo. apesar disso, sinto que estou conseguindo absorver bem mais o conteúdo das aulas e consigo até fazer os exercícios! (shout out to meu psiquiatra que está me ajudando no desmame medicamentoso). é difícil mas eu amo meu curso e estou indo no meu tempo, fazendo o possível para ver as coisas com leveza.

maintaining success is like maintaining your favorite aesthetic - it needs constant care and attention, but it's so worth it!

final thoughts:

trust your systems

stay consistent

keep things cute but functional

maintain your support network

celebrate every win

keep growing and glowing

thank you for joining me on this journey! remember, you're capable of amazing things, and one bad grade doesn't define your academic story. keep shining, keep studying, and keep being absolutely amazing!
