if there’s something positive about attending face to face lectures from 7am to 6pm, it’s seeing the architecture of the campus as the sun slowly starts to set- unless you’re rushing home for dinner and another couple of hours of studying.
honestly? thank goodness for the barbie (2023) soundtrack for keeping me sane tonight.

Hello, psych tumbz!!!!! My name is Micah Alexi (but you can call me “cah”).
I am a Filipino 3rd year BS in Psychology student of the green and gold school: St. Paul University Philippines.
My hobbies are practising yoga and listening to music. Generally, I do not like humans, but studying in this field for almost three years now has helped me appreciate, understand, and relate to such beings.
Five years from now, I see myself still studying in the field of Psychology but in a different country. I have been planning to migrate to Australia to pursue and finish my studies there and acquire a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Although SPUP, my current school, has been great in establishing the best learning foundation I can get here in the Philippines, continuing my program in a different country will further lead me closer to my dreams in life. I aspire to live independently and be financially stable before the age of 28. Thus, moving to another country is, by far, the best option I have.
The green and gold school, SPUP, is “making a difference globally”, hence they are established as a university internationally. According to my educational consultant, SPUP is recognized under section 1, internationally, thus, the courses that I took here for more than two years can be credited to the institution I was planning to transfer to. If all things come into their best places, hopefully, I can achieve my dream and live freely.
Studying Psychology was my first choice. I have assessed and evaluated both my capabilities and opportunities in life the moment I enrolled into this program. The list goes on for the job opportunities I can choose from after I graduate with a Masters in Psychology. The journey I see from this moment is kinda blurry due to the potential difficulties I would face, but that will never stop me from pursuing this track. I have always thought that Psychology is the best choice I have ever made in life. Thus, I believe and dream that this is for me. The what-ifs that might appear in this journey should be considered but should never cause me to dwell on for long. The fear I am feeling right now is incomparable to the possibilities and greatness I could achieve in this lifetime.
As an aspiring Psychologist, I have many lives to save and help. Minds that could also be an instrument or vessel that will pull others in the abyss of darkness. We should never give up such a dream as this one could help humanity and help achieve peace in this chaotic and stressful world.
I, Micah Alexi, am calling everyone to choose psychology and become one of those who can help. I will end this post with a quote from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:
“The human race is a monotonous affair. Most people spend the greatest part of their time working in order to live, and what little freedom remains so fills them with fear that they seek out any and every means to be rid of it.”

i opened my windows for the first time.
i just realized how many highlighters i use to study my notes thoroughly. i also realized i love studying on paper, rather than reading on my ipad. i don’t have a color coding system though. our first exam’s next week, and i am so nervous, i don’t know how well i’m going to fare. we’ll see, though?

League of Filipino Students (LFS) PUP joined forces for a lightning rally at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines to condemn the ruthless killing of labor leader Jude Fernandez from Kilusang Mayo Uno and the news of the kidnapping of three youth leaders, Alia Encela, Job David, and Peter del Monte.
Karapatan Southern Tagalog confirmed that the killer 203rd Infantry Brigade and the 4th Infantry Battalion have been holding the three young IP advocates in Bansud, Oriental Mindoro for two weeks.
Meanwhile, Jude Fernandez was shot in his own home in Binangonan, Rizal by the fascist PNP-CIDG. Jude Fernandez is a well-known labor leader who is organizing and fighting for the right to work and liveable wages.
We join the scholars of the people in calling for justice for all workers murdered by the US-Marcos-Duterte regime, and the immediate release of the three youth leaders.
Justice for Jude Fernandez! Free Alia, Job, and Peter! Stop the attacks on the people!
-- League of Filipino Students PUP, 4 Oct 2023

another day of physical classes, another night of studying for tomorrow’s exams. sat through another endocrinology exam and a four and a half hour lecture the entire morning, followed by case discussions the entire afternoon. walked home and snapped a few pics, before spending the rest of the night on emphasizing revised notes and answering past tests for active recall.
definitely a tiring day, but the weekend is a-coming, so it’s something to look forward to. in the meantime, have some tree appreciation (a-tree-ciation? appre-tree-iation?) photos.

My March cover for my journal! I should've chosen a lighter green for the text to make the colors more cohesive.
March is going to be a big month for me. I'm just hoping all my plans go well.
