when it comes to group projects, I'm known to be an organized leader

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:46:55 UTC

I think I am fairly good academically and secure in myself.

2024-05-16 01:47:21 UTC

I like to think into the future.

I'll plan out like weekly what do I do, things I'll do. Then after that, I just plan in advance.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:48:14 UTC

Academically, I am to pass my exams and become a professional engineer.

2024-05-16 01:48:17 UTC

when it comes to group projects, I also like... try to share that kind of plan with everyone so that we can be prepared

2024-05-16 01:49:01 UTC

My long-term goals are for... Are definitely right now, I want to go to uni to specifically the big 3s to study a course that I enjoy

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:49:01 UTC

Disappointments and challenges really keep me going.

2024-05-16 01:49:15 UTC

I also want to get married. I want to start a family and live a good life and be rich.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:49:38 UTC

Depends. It's only exciting if we are exposed to hands on. Rather than sitting in class listening to lectures 99% of our lesson time.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:50:14 UTC

Projects are very engaging. Requires more than one brain. A good collaboration gives good quality results.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 01:50:32 UTC

I can code a lot of programming languages

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:50:34 UTC

Yes, expectations put forward by my parents. They expect a lot from me and I am pressured to fulfil their expectations and afraid to let them down.

2024-05-16 01:50:39 UTC

I am able to study for a long period of time and also memorise easily.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:50:52 UTC

Yes. Burned out affects mental health, I was not able to focus as I was heavily overwhelmed and fell into a spiral. This definitely affected my school life and grades

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:51:06 UTC

Thinking positive thoughts

2024-05-16 01:51:25 UTC

If I put my mind into something, I have a really competitive spirit. So, as long as I set my mind on it, I can accomplish it, if I have the will to.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:51:28 UTC

Yes. Talking to a trusted someone can definitely help

2024-05-16 01:51:47 UTC

I wish to finish this diploma and hopefully get into a degree in psychology and complete this course and hopefully get into a career in this field.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:51:49 UTC

How about having a chill student lounge area with games and breaks between classes?

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:52:20 UTC

It is being mentally stable

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 01:52:24 UTC

I am good at housekeeping

2024-05-16 01:52:38 UTC

My family. they're always such a supportive environment to have. And like they also give me really good advice on how to manage time well.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:52:41 UTC

10/10. Extremely important as poor mental well-being affects a student’s day to day life.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 01:52:57 UTC

I think my stamina is not bad

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:52:58 UTC

Competition among peers’ education wise

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 01:53:08 UTC

I have good ideas maybe

2024-05-16 01:53:13 UTC

Sundays right, they're there to always like uhm pull me out to do exercise and stuff, so that I can be a bit more healthy and get out of work for a bit.

(they - her family)

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 01:53:20 UTC

im like uh optimistic

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:53:37 UTC

No, my school doesn't offer such programs.

2024-05-16 01:53:39 UTC

And also my friends lah, my secondary school friends, we're still very close and we'll meet up sometimes.

2024-05-16 01:53:54 UTC

I wish to contribute back to society because I feel that the society itself has already given me a lot of help when I was younger.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:54:17 UTC

No. As Singapore is constantly pushing students to be faster and lead. Our living standard is 5 years ahead than most countries

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 01:54:45 UTC

Urm for academic-wise ah, my long-term goal is to graduate from a local University with a degree in Coding. As for personal-wise, it would be getting BTO.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 01:54:46 UTC

Being mindful of students’ feelings and emotions and not shunning them for feeling a certain way

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 01:56:10 UTC

Not being late. No long term goal, I just wanna get a good GPA

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 01:56:15 UTC

Making money and providing for my loved ones

2024-05-16 01:56:20 UTC

a group project and some of my teammates were not putting in their weight in the work. They were not contributing hard enough.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 01:57:01 UTC

To be the best version of myself.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 01:57:15 UTC

supportive circle of friends

2024-05-16 01:58:13 UTC

My family has compared me and labelled me as the smarter one, so if I do not do well, not just do well, if I don't do exceptionally well, they can look down on me and say you can do better

2024-05-16 01:59:45 UTC

I last minute studied and I had to cramp a lot of information into my mind the night before and due to this I wasn't able to score as well as I anticipated

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:00:02 UTC

School doesn’t give me excitement, it is interesting but not exciting.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:00:23 UTC

More interactive tutorials/application instead of just sitting down revision.

2024-05-16 02:00:26 UTC

It depends. Sometimes my module is fun leh.

Participatory Art Studio. It's a module where you basically just facilitate. Like we need to facilitate games.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:00:45 UTC

I like the things that I learn in my course

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:02:31 UTC

Actually today I had a fun guest lecture(ppl from outside will come to school to give talks). We walked around the classrooms instead of just sitting down.

2024-05-16 02:02:38 UTC

Because I feel like I signed up for a lot of things, and I don't know whether I'm able to cope with it.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:03:02 UTC

I feel stressed when my group mates don’t trust me when doing group projects.

2024-05-16 02:03:13 UTC

One of the not-fun things is definitely any research projects or whatever. Those things just... I hate research, first of all.

2024-05-16 02:03:37 UTC

it's important to take frequent breaks, even though not so long and not so much

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:03:39 UTC

I am also the vice captain of my cca, the expectations of my role

2024-05-16 02:03:54 UTC

So our lesson is basically just playing icebreaker games, which is so fun.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:03:57 UTC

Fuck no! Cause engineering math is too hard.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:04:42 UTC

As a student also, there are expectations that made me feel like giving up then I was just at my bed watching tiktok.

2024-05-16 02:05:02 UTC

But I like my course because we kind of get opportunities to go to field trips also.

2024-05-16 02:05:28 UTC

my sisters kind of stress me out because they're good at everything.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:05:34 UTC

There is not enough time study. It’s giving me stress because there isn’t enough time for me to review all the studying materials.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:05:38 UTC

I go for a run or I go to the gym

2024-05-16 02:05:48 UTC

treat yourself to something

2024-05-16 02:06:03 UTC

Definitely, I have felt overwhelmed before. But to me, it doesn't stop me from doing stuff

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:06:05 UTC

im craving something I will buy it to eat

2024-05-16 02:06:29 UTC

every Sunday, I try to go out with my parents and my sisters

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:06:47 UTC

The school should spread out assignment due dates

2024-05-16 02:06:48 UTC

I sleep.

2024-05-16 02:07:11 UTC

Like I said, I also plan out my stuff, lor.

2024-05-16 02:07:53 UTC

We should have a work from home system also.

2024-05-16 02:08:08 UTC

lesser assignments and more activities.

2024-05-16 02:08:36 UTC

You're not stressed.

2024-05-16 02:08:49 UTC

being able to cope well with all your stressful events

2024-05-16 02:08:54 UTC

Like you can feel stressed but like... In moderation. Not like such that it's controlling your life.

2024-05-16 02:09:14 UTC

be able to learn how to cope with all your... Cognitive dissonance.

2024-05-16 02:09:21 UTC

having a good relationship with others

2024-05-16 02:09:42 UTC

not being overwhelmed with any extreme and strong emotions.

2024-05-16 02:09:59 UTC

So important.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:10:00 UTC

There is not enough time to prepare.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:10:23 UTC

Peer pressure is real.

2024-05-16 02:10:26 UTC

stress to me reduces productivity.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:10:30 UTC

Academic validation is important to me as an individual

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:10:47 UTC

being able to think properly

2024-05-16 02:10:49 UTC

Yes, it is important

2024-05-16 02:10:55 UTC

If like you're mentally well, you know how to cope with stress, right?

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:10:56 UTC

having a good state of mind

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:10:57 UTC

There are times I find school boring and extremely tiring.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:11:03 UTC

being happy

2024-05-16 02:11:17 UTC

Sometimes I feel like stress can change the way you think about your uhm work.

2024-05-16 02:11:42 UTC

more engaged to the internet so we tend to stick to ourselves

2024-05-16 02:11:43 UTC

A part of me feels like social media is a part of this.

2024-05-16 02:12:09 UTC

And... I feel like another problem is also... The general... Like it's just a general thing that's happening where parents are comparing grades, children are comparing grades, the world revolves around grades.

2024-05-16 02:12:31 UTC

Your own expectation on yourself, which can be... Which can be... Altered because of your influence from social media.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:12:41 UTC

Very important we need to have a good mental well-being so that you can function properly and cope well.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:12:54 UTC

and getting into crocheting to help me divert my attention from any negative thoughts.

2024-05-16 02:12:58 UTC

Unfortunately not

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:12:59 UTC

There are times I seek help whenever needed

2024-05-16 02:13:01 UTC

Okay, I definitely made friends though.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:13:04 UTC

There is this lecturer of mine that the whole class likes. She teaches digital electronic. The class likes the vibes that she gives as she is someone that is very fun to engage and converse with.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:13:04 UTC

students want to fit into societal expectations

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:13:16 UTC

keep up with the trend

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:13:17 UTC

I enjoy the whole environment of her class, very wholesome.

2024-05-16 02:13:18 UTC

Mentally well, nuh-uh.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:13:26 UTC

Getting professional help also helps

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:13:27 UTC

School is stressful having to juggle a lot of commitments

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:13:37 UTC

Picking up hobbies like crocheting and reading, that could elevate stress are also great

2024-05-16 02:13:37 UTC

Wellness for Life is damn stressful sometimes. Cause like... Like I could really use those extra hours... To do my own module work.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:13:38 UTC

Family and friends(relationships) can cause stresses as well.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:13:51 UTC

Caffeine can be helpful, but it's important to know your limits

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:13:57 UTC

Taking things one step at a time is key

2024-05-16 02:14:00 UTC

I don't think there is much of things being done to support mental well-being as you see there are still high suicidal rates among students

2024-05-16 02:14:12 UTC

So there's like a lot of wellness initiatives that they put out. But the problem is that no one really signs for it. Because the main problem is that we have no time.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:14:18 UTC

Yes but I don’t really refer to it because I don’t need a lecture on it, it is boring to look through it.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:14:35 UTC

Even if in school have form teachers, but they don't do much for students well-being.

2024-05-16 02:14:37 UTC

Social support. I need people to be there for me. To like give me good advice when in stressed.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:14:38 UTC

I see so many Instagram stories of people graduating and here I am in year 2, fearing that I might not be able to graduate with a GPA high enough to enter a local university.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:14:51 UTC

I think it is quite difficult but maybe they can have weekly check ins.

2024-05-16 02:14:55 UTC

Mentorship. Perhaps.

2024-05-16 02:15:01 UTC

as long as I have my friends around me, they are very good mental health supporters.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:15:01 UTC

I fear that I might be behind my peers since I was required to study 2 years in ITE before entering Polytechnic.

2024-05-16 02:15:12 UTC

So i actually need career guidance . Yeah.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:15:27 UTC

being able to manage emotions well as well as to function properly in a daily life

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:15:38 UTC

Yes. There was this guy that was very committed to his CCA to the point where he neglected everything else, including his studies and unfortunately, I so happen to be assigned in the same group as him. I had to tank everything myself.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:15:46 UTC

It also affects their relationships with others

2024-05-16 02:15:49 UTC

majority of the older generation will not do much for mental health because they believe that not being well means only physically, not mentally.

ganjolin23_ — 2024-05-16 02:15:51 UTC

game rooms in school to provide stress relief

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:16:13 UTC

family members that are less understanding and with high expectations

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:16:21 UTC

Overworking, too much work, less time to spend on themselves.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:16:45 UTC

I felt very alone throughout this whole group project and I had a lot of responsibility and a lot of weight on my shoulders to carry.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:17:45 UTC

Playing games such as VALORANT (first-person shooter game). It helps me to relax and segregate my time spent, so like I don’t have to always fucking think about work!

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:17:45 UTC

I also consider myself an empath

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:17:59 UTC

Me personally, nah. I feel like I enjoy playing games the most and makes me happy.

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:18:15 UTC

Personally, work on my negatives to turn them into positives

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:18:33 UTC

being able to choose my own teammates for group projects instead of being randomly assigned with classmates by lecturers

laxshiniravichandran — 2024-05-16 02:19:14 UTC

I enjoyed the process throughout the project.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:19:14 UTC

It means being in a healthy state of mind, not caring what other people think.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:19:30 UTC

doing what I think is best for me and what makes me feel happy

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:20:10 UTC

Oh, it is very important

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:20:25 UTC

I think that if this person had a good support system that kept her healthy mentally-wise, there might have been a different outcome and it would. not have resorted into suicide

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:20:48 UTC

having the high expectations of parents in their studies as a lot of parents would love their children to go to a good university and get a good job. However, from their point of view it may seem easy or simple to tell them to study.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:22:23 UTC

At the same time, classmates pose a difficulty for group projects depending on how helpful or lazy they are.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:22:41 UTC

Furthermore, there could be a lot of workload too depending on the course they are in and the pressure from parents just piles on.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:23:51 UTC

Yea they do offer those kind of modules. Fuck no. I did not even know that they offered materials to help students with their well-being. The fact that I was not even aware of the existence to these materials show much I give a shit about the module!

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:24:08 UTC

The lessons for WFL ended so late and ultimately it just created a burning hatred for that module.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:24:45 UTC

FUCK NO. There is not enough done to support mental well-being in students as in December 2023 there was an axe-slashing accident, and it was due to the student having major depressive disorder

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:25:19 UTC

I think its probably due to some people having some old beliefs that mental wellbeing doesn’t exist.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:25:48 UTC

I think some sort of a peer-support-system program would be extremely helpful in managing my mental well-being.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:26:25 UTC

This support system will serve as a safe space where students with a similar background will all be together and can connect with.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:26:40 UTC

This gives them a sense of belonging, so that they will not feel so alone ah.

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 02:26:50 UTC

It can also help address some of the similar issue everyone faces, which in turn can help release some pressure, personal or academic wise.

being happy in my own skin

reubenwee22 — 2024-05-16 03:32:11 UTC
