im working on accomplishing small tasks because im starting to feel overwhelmed with all the requirements that i need to do especially because our finals are coming up next week. im trying not to push myself too much and just check off my to-do list, one at a time.

remember to take things lightly, and don’t punish yourself or feel bad for not being productive. lightly, lightly, we’ll get there ✨

it’s been a while since my last post, i’ve been having really terrible anxiety attacks these past few days so i took a little break from ~everything~. the stress and pressure of getting things done are getting in my head ☹️

🍃 so this is a reminder to everyone, to please take a little break and breathe. it’s definitely okay to have unproductive days, and days when you feel like not doing anything at all. remember to rest if you need to, and not let the pressure and stress take over. get things done one at a time ❤️

finally done decluttering and decorating my workspace 🤓🍃

before this, my desk was so messy that i don’t even know where most of my stuff are. now, everything is organized in my drawers and my books are placed in my bookshelves that just got installed in my room. i can now study comfortably and stress-free because i never have to deal with my messy desk ever again.

so this is a gentle reminder to clean up your desk guys!! i swear it would make such a huge difference ❤️

🗓 june 29, 2020

i should be studying for tomorrow’s test at our review center but instead here i am waiting for 12 midnight for the release of grades for my last semester in college and it’s so nerve-wracking i can’t calm down. 

i also just watched the latest ep of snowpiercer; what melanie said to miles made me tear up so much.

“You’ll be an engineer. But to be an engineer on Snowpiercer, you have to make sacrifices. And that can be hard.”

“We’re engineers. We keep the world alive”

UPDATE: GUYS I PASSED AND GOT GRADES MORE THAN WHAT I EXPECTED!!! I GOT A 1.395 GWA AND IM SO HAPPY AND IM GOING TO GRADUATE AFTER 5 LONG YEARS IN COLLEGE I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so it's been a while and our review for the licensure exam has already started. i've been soooo stressed and sad ever since. i've been beating myself up for not being able to keep up so well with the lessons because most of the topics are still new to me and i haven't encountered them when i was in college. but i realized i cant be depressed all the time, otherwise im just wasting my time. i promise i'll do better this week. i'll get up and try my best. I'll give my all, i promise myself that i will finish strong, and i will do this for myself and for my dreams. with that, im praying for a healthier mindset, strength, and courage. with God's grace, i know i can get through all of this ❤️ happy monday everyone ✨

i haven’t studied for like almost a week now because my room got repainted from pink to white, and our house is currently under maintenance so it’s really distracting here. i’ve also been going school to file for my application for graduation and clearances, and i still can’t believe i made it 😭

anyway, i love my new white walls so much. the lighting got better and i love my new study area. i have a lot of review modules to catch up on so i better start now, stay safe guys!! wear masks!!! ✨

side note: how in the world do i have 1k+ followers??? thanks everyone omg 🥰

im trying to study on my own pace and it’s going really well so far, i could finish watching lectures + take up module exercises & exam in one day, and still have time to watch and one episode of snowpiercer. im so happyyy, im doing better this week than i did weeks ago! 

i also print up the drawings on my module and cut it out instead of drawing because it’s taking up lots of time + im lazy 😂 

i hope everyone is doing well ✨

ps. im still working on taking better photos lmao

🗓 april 24, 2020

i’ve been studying review modules for two days now, so far i’ve finished 2 out of 4 modules in geotechnical engineering. after i finish with geotech engineering, i’ll proceed studying for reinforced concrete and steel design.

side note, i actually found a way to buy pens! for those who are from the philippines, the sm store actually accepts orders and deliver them to you for free! i bought 4 extra pens and 2 extra ink cartridges because i have a lot of studying to do. 

i like to keep myself busy because i get really anxious about our current situation. i hope everyone is well, please stay at home if you can, and always wash your hands! ❤️

hello! thank you for inspiring posts! May I ask what drew you to civil engineering? Congratulations for graduating !!🎉

thank you so much!! although im not sure if my posts are that~ inspiring but im happy someone appreciates this blog 🖤

so growing up, my family would always go back in forth from our province to Manila. i remember looking out the car window all the time and appreciate the tall buildings, and roads, and thought it’s really wonderful how we were able to build such beautiful structures. my mom actually wants me to take up medicine or a business-related program, throughout high school i was weighing my options as to what i would take up in college. although medicine and business are really good programs, i decided it’s not for me. as i grew up, i was more inclined and fascinated with engineering, math, and science. i would spend endless hours watching documentaries about how pyramids, bridges, and skyscrapers were built, and other science documentaries.

another factor on why i considered civil engineering is that my dad has always dreamt of becoming an engineer. it was his dream course, my dad wasn’t able to attend college because he couldn’t afford to go to college then. so you could only imagine his delight when i told him i’ll be taking up civil engineering in college. and when i told him that i’ll be graduating, he actually cried and thanked me for studying hard to finish college because it was something that he wasn’t able to do. 

i remember having a love-hate relationship with math but i learned that in engineering, it doesn’t matter if you’re good at math or not. what matters is your curiosity, willingness to learn new things, ability to analyze, and of course, you have to love what you’re doing ☺️

civil engineering made me cry countless times, and there were so many times when i wanted to give up because it was really really hard and challenging. there are a lot of sleepless nights, early mornings, and missed family gatherings, but all of these will be worth it in the end. despite all my struggles and doubts, i actually made it 😭

i’m really trying my best not to take the online classes negatively, but it’s really hard to be efficient and learn if professors keep on giving a ton of assignments one after another. it’s getting harder to keep up since after i finish one assignment, our professors would give 3 more. how am i suppose to learn when i am now focused on finishing the assignment instead of understanding the topic well?

i really want to study the topics they’re giving us but i really hope they’d be more considerate when it comes to assignments ☹️

🗓 april 15, 2020 i finally finished revising my thesis today!!! it’s not due yet but it feels good to finish my thesis weeks before so i don’t have to cram anymore. i used to cram all the time because i was loaded with a lot of work i can barely manage my time properly. i also wrote down the law of attraction and my dreams today in my planner to remind myself of the goals that i want to achieve in the future. these goals may be impossible now, but by positive thinking, i hope that all my dreams will finally come true ❤️
