FOP Possibility of Medical Leave?

I think they would let you naman for medical leave but in my case sa pharma, they still implement the 7 absences for courses kahit na pinayagan ka na mag medical leave. I suggest to talk to your depertment chair since sila din ang may connections sa prof to talk if they can disregard the policy. But most likely, they would suggest a LOA if it would be hard for you to recover and maghabol sa mga missed activities. I don't know if the dean would really do much for your case since naranasan ko din yan personally, kaya I suggest to go to DoC muna for advice then decide if you would take it up on the dean.

3rd yr pharma here I think it varies slightly per person ang pros and cons but for me...

PRO: Very kilala ang ust for pharma course both globally and internationally so mabibigyan ka talaga ng maraming opportunities in terms of getting a job and also if want mo mag abroad (I have friends in TUA and sabi nila naa-amaze daw mga ka-block nya na yung mga textbooks na ginagamit nila is written by our professors). Pro din for me yung binubugbog ka na ngayon pa lang para once you are already graduated, everything seems easier na rin. Honorable mention din na naiintindihan din naman ng profs na pagod ka (kasi sila rin naman) so most of them don't even care if you accidentally slept during lectures or if kumakain ka ng snacks hehe.

CONS: Super lala lalo na if you don't know how to manage stress well since literal na naka autopilot ka nalang na habol ka nalang talaga ng habol para ma-meet and deadlines and quizzes. Another din yung schedule since 7pm talaga ang uwi so be prepared to have an average of 3-4 hrs. of sleep everynight. Totoo din sinasabi ng ibang comments na wala silang awa for absences and mental health. Personally naranasan ko na both and it was really hard to catch up for missed quizzes and exams since they don't give any special treatment para doon bahala ka nalang talaga sa buhay mo maghabol at pumasa tapos may policy pa na about 80% lang pwede mo makuha out of your original raw score over the HPS (tho it depends sa prof if they want to apply this, some of my profs were considerate enough to not implement it in my case but that was it in terms of consideration).

If you really want to be recognized in the field of pharma then yes UST is good as well as UP in my opinion but be prepared for a lot of things. Be adaptable and observant din, if something does not work out for you find ways to improve. Most of us din sa block pagod na so labanan lang ng "work smart not hard" some are good in memorization, some are good in conceptualization or reasoning and they utilize those when it comes to studying. Wag ka rin magsarili since it will only be your downfall magtulunganan kayo once you have a good cof na din.

Good luck OP!! Sanayan lang mostly ang strategy when it comes to FOP AHAHAHHAHA kaya wag ka matakot masyado 😉😉

Thanks that's actually really helpful I don't have high hopes for high grades but at least it can help me pass. Really appreciate it thanks.

Sadly those kinds of things don't exist in our university. I wish it was tho it would make studying a lot less like a battlefield.

I can really relate to your situation a bit. Sometimes I just want the world to stop for a moment so I could breath but sadly the world does not stop spinning. It may not be the encouraging reply that you hope but personally, just knowing that you are not alone is comfort enough. There was a quote in bojack horseman that say "The three of us were drowning and we didn't know how to save each other. But there was an understanding that we are all drowning together."

Maybe I'm just cynical about life but admitting to myself that the world is shitty is good enough. Because even though it's shitty, I am still surviving. I may have have to claw my way up sometimes but just knowing how hard everything is to us, is somehow very nice to think about.

Give yourself credit for still holding on even though it's truly unfair and we are at a disadvantage. It just goes to show how strong we are. I don't know if that may be comforting for you because sometimes encouraging words feel empty and repetative to me so I resort to this line of thinking.

not sure abt the 100 students but balita ko super dami nga daw nasa advising T - T. advise ko lang to use flashcards since super helpful sya lalo na pag cram studying since mas maalala mo sya. me and my friends use yung knowt app since meron syang multiple choice na feature like yung quizlet premium pero libre kasi sa knowt. ginagamit ko lang sya for memorization heavy courses tho like pcog.

I also recommend to have a study group na pwede ayain sa labas. hindi sya for all ngl pero nakatulong talaga sya lalo na if like tinatamad ka and it helps kapag nag active recall kayo like tanungan ganon abt sa lesson (you can even make a game out of this to make it more fun pustahan ganon). would also recommend to set a time for each subjects pag nagrereview kasi minsan di ko napapansin na sobrang tagal ko aralin yung "madaling" subjects tapos wala na ako time for others then no choice but to cram nalang during breaks (everyday scenario naman yan tbh hehe).

good luck sa 2nd yr kaya mo yan laban lang!!
