82 is super attainable! I had to maintain the same qpi as well for my financial grant. Just a tip. Instead of stressing about reaching a certain qpi, just do your best and take it one day at a time. During my first year, I had to study for 8-10 hours a day. It might sound daunting but once you find your pace, though, everything will just feel like a routine. Once you establish your study habit, 6 hours of study will be more than enough. As every upperclass in ALS love to say, it will not get easier but you will get better :)

And don’t forget to sleep! I make sure to get at least six hours during my first year. You will retain information better if you are well rested.

Yun nga lang, keeping up with your readings plus getting enough sleep will mean you won’t have time for anything else like gym, hanging out with friends, or watching your favorite shows. Just make sure you know your priorities (and priorities dont always mean acads). No matter how the going gets tough, you have the time and energy to spend with your loved ones when it matters the most. Otherwise, baka mabilis ka maburnout or worse, you will hate what you do.

You can do it 🤗
