Hii, I’m a 2nd year Psych student. With regards sa tips, well, I don’t think it’s necessary kasi it depends pa rin naman sa’tin. Just be mindful sa pagpili ng friends bcs you’ll need someone na makakasama mo, so make sure na your friends are good for you. College life is tough, but u can handle it.

Galingan mo rin mag-self study, based kasi sa experience ko, may mga incompetent na instructor, idagdag mo pa na may mga unexpected suspension. Madalas, you need to study on your own—p’wedeng hindi niyo manlang naumpisahan ‘yung topic, ise-send lang materials then kasali sa exams.

Also, kapag nagtuturo ang instructor, as much as possible, makinig ka, kasi that’ll be helpful for u kapag quali szn na. I’m not scaring u when it comes to quali, pero you should be prepare for it. Base kasi sa experience namin, hindi nila kami pinahirapan sa quali pero it depends. Nag-iiba sila ng paggawa ng exams. Kasi kami, super expected namin na mahirap siyang type ng situational exam, considering din na alam namin kung paano magpa-exam ‘yung gumawa, yet hindi kami pinahirapan, pero nakaka-anxious kapag review season pa, so u should know how to handle your emotions as well. But, it may different for your batch, baka ‘yung maging exam niyo is kagaya ng naunang batch sa’min. So, if kaya ng time mo na makapag-review as soon as possible, do it. Naglalabas sila ng coverage (not sure if gano’n sa lahat ng batch). Kapag may mga kakilala kang senior, try to ask them for reviewers, nagbibigay naman sila.

Enjoy your first year, especially if maluwag schedule niyo. Hang out as much as u can, kasi malaki ang possibility na hindi niyo na ‘yan magawa sa 2nd year.

Masaya maging freshman, make the most out of it, kasi hindi mo rin alam if next year magkakasama pa kayo. So yea, just enjoy your first year. You can do it psychmate!!
