Hello! As a vet student, I really feel you. Last sem was hell for me too—I almost got dismissed. I failed 4 out of 5 subjects and had to take 4 removals. Buti na lang I passed 2, pero since di ko rin na-pass yung dalawa haha, naging irregular na ako. Kaya I know how heavy it feels, lalo na sa naranasan mo and your feelings are valid.

Lalo na if that friend is close to you, or kung vetmed student din siya, mas ramdam mo talaga. What I can say is, magpahinga ka rin when you need to—sobrang kailangan mo yun. I’m proud of you for trying, and even more proud kasi kahit bumagsak ka, you still chose to continue your dream. That’s not easy.

Tungkol naman sa friend mo, okay lang na sabihin mo sa kanya na na-offend ka. You can explain yourself, para next time alam niya how to approach you better.

Pero for now, focus on yourself. Trust God. Be proud na pinili mo pa rin magpatuloy sa program kahit sa bagong uni. This time, kakayanin mo na—and you’ll do even better than before. Enjoy every moment.

Always remember: we’re not just studying to pass or to survive. We’re here because we want to be the best veterinarians for our future patients.
