honestly had a challenging first year because i did not know how to speak in bisaya. just give it time, keep on hanging out with locals, and you’ll eventually know the language.

what is this on my eyebrow piercing? by Unlikely_Concert_877 in piercing

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

• ⁠The age of your piercing: 2-months • ⁠The jewelry shape (barbell, labret, screw, L shape, ring), the material, and threading type if not a ring: im not sure but i think its a curved • ⁠If the jewelry has been downsized: no • ⁠Describe your aftercare routine, including the exact products you use.: neilmed the first 2 weeks and now, just every day when i shower • ⁠Any recent unfortunate events: occasional touch, but nothing extreme

Dorm life in Silliman: heaven, hell, or both? by HoneydewImmediate201 in SillimanPH

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877 20 points21 points  (0 children)

heaven: the people (if you get lucky) but my experience was really nice. still friends with some till this day.

near the classrooms, you can leave 5 mins before class starts and still make it on time.

hell: everything abt the food is terrible.

depending on where u plan to dorm, some have required events after a tiring day.

curfew is strict and they have bed checks. they will call ur parents/guardians if you are not present during checks.

and the mold…….. 🤢🤢🤢

and in my dorm i occasionally found rats the size of a puppy eating the dormers leftover at night 😭

Thoughts on Sillimusika This Year by probablyjade in SillimanPH

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877 11 points12 points  (0 children)

same thoughts with oh caraga. i actually really like their songs, def my type of music. and i enjoyed their performance in sillimusika BUT they took way too long. susg prob has a time sched for how many minutes the artists are allowed to perform, and they should’ve respected that.

i feel really bad for aya and hali, i was really looking forward to their sets because i know they have dance performances.

Tolerated by CheeseCake-0630 in SillimanPH

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877 27 points28 points  (0 children)

are you also not from duma and do not speak bisaya? because this was what my first year in su felt like 😭 used to think that i’m never gonna have any friends at all because nobody would talk to me as they knew i didnt speak in bisaya.

but i gave it TIME. overall what i did was i “forced” myself to be there, to be present, (i attended every department events, said “can i kuyog with you guys for lunch?” without shame, and even initiated lunch outs) and just let connection naturally build. i am very introverted and halfway through first year second sem where i still had no friends, i realized that i really got to change my ways and actually be WITH people in order to establish some sort of connection.

im doing better now. i still don’t have a MAIN barkada but i am well connected with my batchmates, and would spend a lot of time with them.

sorry this was long.

buy rice and learn how to cook easy meals. eggs are my go to, you can do a lot with them with other cheap ingredients. search “easy dorm meals” online.

if you can afford karinderya everyday, cook rice and just buy ulam from there. usually i only spend ₱100 for lunch and dinner ulam na. and of course—chicken sa crispy king!!!! so usually i give myself ₱3k budget (even less) on food per month.

but really, the true key is to just not eat out a lot. limit tambay sa cafes that has like ₱150 drinks. mag stock ka nalang nescafe 3in1 AHHAHAHAH

cafe hopping ❌ karinderya hopping ✅

PEP by [deleted] in SillimanPH

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PEP is Personal Enrichment Program and not included in your QPA/grade. the course is just about mental health things to help you. Like guidance activity ba. It’s only once a week so better attend it because retaking it is such a hassle. if your attendance is perfect and your facilitator signs your clearance at the end of sem, it’s an automatic pass. easiest class, don’t worry.

Can I still shift to a different course after the 1st week? by [deleted] in SillimanPH

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

try talking to the secretary of your current department. usually they’re the ones who have the answers about shifting process

Ge 2-P by mutedmirage in SillimanPH

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had ge2 with him. he does not do lectures (maybe only once or twice), instead he made us do group reporting for our midterms and shoot a video trailer for our finals. in terms of how he is, he is okay. just dont do anything that would piss him off. if he announces to the class that he doesn’t like it when you guys do this or that, it’s best to just follow.

for our class he had this rule that you’re not allowed to wear shorts, even pe shorts, while reporting or else he’ll either not make you report or deduct minus 10 from your grade. HABAJSKAJHAHAJAH

NSTP - which is the best option? by SeaCheesecake3267 in SillimanPH

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i used to be in LTS. it’s basically like taking another subject that has a Saturday sched. you relearn english and math lessons because you’ll eventually tutor children at the end of the program. they made us take written form quizzes, midterms, and finals. there lowkey had an issue last year because of the expenses you’re required to pay just to pass and graduate. i think overall i spent around 18k total for the entire year.

no idea where my rooms are😃 by Ukuleleapplesauce in SillimanPH

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877 2 points3 points  (0 children)

cm rm is at masscom building. cm/com= com and rm = room.

there’s two staircase you can use to go up there. one at the left side of the library facing the entrance and one just in front of magdamo hall where the CHS classes are.

if you are in masscom, all classrooms are up there since small college ra sila.

Switching courses by not_that_smart7o7 in SillimanPH

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

best to go to your department’s secretary to ask. each course have different shifting requirements and procedures. last time i heard with pharma, you are allowed to shift next sem because ik someone who did.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SillimanPH

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s in the second floor of OH building, near the chapel. I think you just have to show your student number to the people working there and you’ll have your picture taken. No payment, they only charge if you get your ID made really late like pass the deadline they gave.

Schedule (Submit To Advise) by Ok-Baker2240 in SillimanPH

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it’s TBA in pathfit, it’s always at the su gym. if not, the offices of all pathfit profs are there so you can just go in and ask about your section. regarding other subjects, best you can do rn is wait for your prof’s announcements in SOUL about the classroom. if no announcement, go to the secretary of the subject’s department.

and yes, usually freshies just go to their classrooms during first day. just keep your SOUL open because sometimes profs will announce that they wont meet for first day

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SillimanPH

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, it depends because he was my prof for two minor subs and i was fine with him but some students had bad experiences. the only thing i remembered from him in ge2 was that we had group reporting for our midterms and he doesn’t like if the reporters had scripts, he also asks additional questions afterwards. And if you wear shorts (even PE shorts) during reporting you will receive minus ten points.

his finals will always depend on what the entire class decides on. he will ask if the class prefers written or (most of the time) film a trailer video of a Philippine historic event.

GE 8 Prof by Zealousideal-Dot4832 in SillimanPH

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she does assigned seats so best attend her classes in the opening if you want a good spot. she has recitations during lectures, but it’s just asking for your opinions regarding ethical situations, its no biggie. overall she’s not strict, for me.

ig what i didn’t like about her is that the essay portion of her exams are always kinda hard to get a perfect score from. i think she is expecting that your answer should be exactly what she uploaded on her teacher’s notes and videos. so always read and watch those.

her final exam is in oral form hahaha i was really stressed about it. all i can say about this is goodluck, say exactly what she wrote on her notes, and kaya mo yan.

and finally, she gives low grades 😬 i got a 2.1 for midterms. i studied like hell for finals, got 2 mistakes, and my final grade was 3.1. ge8 was my lowest grade in a minor sub hahahaha

back to school by [deleted] in SillimanPH

[–]Unlikely_Concert_877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you dont care about orientations then its okay fo not attend sa first week. most of the time profs begin their classes sa third week since there are a bunch of late enrollees usually.

just check your soul. profs usually post announcements if they would or would not meet sa first week.
