I had no one who I could talk to that time because most of my friends either applied for SHS at our alma mater or applied for a different school. I had no one to share my thoughts and feelings until I met my first new friends here. They were my groupmates in PracRes class and we were automatically chill with one another. Up to now, we're still groupmates for most of our classes!]]> 2021-03-26 04:14:31 UTC https://padlet.com/marcogimena1/nfnk54z434pguanb/wish/1355974133 marcogimena1 https://padlet.com/marcogimena1/nfnk54z434pguanb/wish/1355995190 It was given the meeting new people is full of excitement but also full of anxiety. When I was first starting the year, I didn't know how to present myself. I was scared because my anxiety might get the best of me and make me reject new experiences and relationships that are out of my area of comfort. Though, everything is fine now, thank God. It was an inevitable stage when transitioning schools but I was able to overcome and recover from it.]]> 2021-03-26 04:28:22 UTC https://padlet.com/marcogimena1/nfnk54z434pguanb/wish/1355995190 marcogimena1 https://padlet.com/marcogimena1/nfnk54z434pguanb/wish/1356006430 Discord is super popular nowadays, especially during the lockdown. I also only have known discord last year and since then, I have enjoyed using it. My friends form my former school and I have a discord server where we can chill and play games together. We may have not been able to see each other in person lately but we hangout often on discord and that's cool. (P.S. my friends had this brilliant idea to use our "stolen" or "epic" pics from junior high as emojis for our discord server. They come up with some of the wackiest things ever XD)]]> 2021-03-26 04:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/marcogimena1/nfnk54z434pguanb/wish/1356006430 marcogimena1 https://padlet.com/marcogimena1/nfnk54z434pguanb/wish/1356104608 I know it goes without saying that covid has really messed up our plans for 2020 and 2021 and possibly future for years as well. Pre-covid, I was really excited because for the first time in my life, I'll finally be able to experience studying in Ateneo. I was looking forward to the classroom, early and late night commutes, Mcdo hangouts with friends, exploring the campus, and many more but unfortunately, covid has rid me from these experiences.]]> 2021-03-26 05:40:04 UTC https://padlet.com/marcogimena1/nfnk54z434pguanb/wish/1356104608 marcogimena1 https://padlet.com/marcogimena1/nfnk54z434pguanb/wish/1356119916 Theoretically, online classes' workload should be far more light compared to face-to-face ones, but in reality, they seem way harsher than before. Though, practicing time for myself has definitely helped me more than I think about. By allotting some time for myself to do stuff that I like has kept my stress and worries at bay. It's my way of releasing the tension built up from requirements. I've learned that wasting time on yourself is not wasting time at all. If it makes you happy and doesn't cause you harm, then it is a time well spent.]]> 2021-03-26 05:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/marcogimena1/nfnk54z434pguanb/wish/1356119916 marcogimena1 https://padlet.com/marcogimena1/nfnk54z434pguanb/wish/1356143171 During the 2nd and 3rd quarters of the year, requirements have been keeping me up at night instead of anime. Some of the workload really takes up more of my time than it typically needs to. Some are just down right difficult to do. But thankfully, I sleep better now compared to before. I used to hate sleeping when I was a child, but as I grew up, the quote "the more you hate, the more you'll love" now made sense.]]> 2021-03-26 06:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/marcogimena1/nfnk54z434pguanb/wish/1356143171
