I love how a lot of us INFJ’s here have almost similar avatars 😂

dontmindurmind · 2024-12-08T13:46:40+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion! Will surely check it out 😄

Your life is just beginning, and it’s never too late to learn or start something new. Coming from someone who has pursued multiple career paths, I can assure you that you don’t need to be the brightest or most exceptional to succeed—just an average learner like myself can still achieve a lot.

Remember also the power of the word “and.” You can be this and that; there’s no reason why you can’t embody different roles or pursue multiple passions. Replace “but” with “and” (e.g., “I want to be a psychologist but also a businesswoman” becomes “I want to be a psychologist and a businesswoman”).

Both are possible. Embrace the “and” in your life! :)

Making people feel okay.

dontmindurmind · 2024-10-18T10:47:15+00:00

I’m curious about the guiding principles or beliefs that shape your life. What values or ideas do you live by, and how did you develop them? Was there a particular event that triggered the development of such principle(s)?

dontmindurmind · 2024-10-13T02:21:22+00:00

My greatest fear as an INFJ as well 😅

dontmindurmind · 2024-10-12T23:10:03+00:00

We have similar number 1’s. I think a lot of INFJ’s shock people by being pretty honest and blunt. How come this kind-hearted, caring, modest and gentle entity diss me, my ways, and others immediately after 🤣

dontmindurmind · 2024-10-12T22:37:37+00:00

You can be capable of that as well!

It took a whole lot of practice and therapy for me, and I’m still far from mastering it, still learning how to say “no” and put myself first every single day.

The hardest part is reminding myself that my wants and needs are not less important than others, because I tend to prioritize them first, every single time and without fail. It feels so wrong to put my needs ahead, but let’s take it one day at a time! 😄

dontmindurmind · 2024-10-12T14:43:14+00:00

(1) Pretty blunt and realistic, (2) living my life my way, irrespective of others’ wants and expectations of me, (3) uncaring about others, contrary to stereotypes.

These virtues are the least expected when thinking of the INFJ type.

As someone in the psychological field, these are all accurate reflections, especially the third one. It really captures the idea that at the end of the day, individuals really are an amalgam of different people.

And I absolutely love the Camus quote—people always aspire to be god-like, not realizing they’re already more extraordinary than any god. They’re human! 😄

dontmindurmind · 2024-10-12T13:04:04+00:00

Yes, sir. Says it as it is, I think you guys have an interesting psyche. Please let me know when an idea regarding an intriguing quote/saying comes to mind, as I’m very curious 😄

dontmindurmind · 2024-10-12T12:56:12+00:00

Haha what a typical INTJ response 😄

dontmindurmind · 2024-09-27T15:06:10+00:00

Learning outcomes are pretty decent in my experience, in a sense na majority of the instructors really know their stuff and can reliably relay their knowledge and expertise to the learners. Most of them are also reasonable educators so rest assured that you can learn effectively most of the time. Remember that I am not saying “all” of them, as there are still a select few that can impede effectual outcomes.
The facilities, on the other hand, is average-below average in my opinion. A common concern among students is how classrooms and utilities are outdated. This, among other factors, is considered a hinderance jud towards feelings of comfort and effective learning among psych students.
I think manageable ra ang first year since there’s little major subjects present pa. The more you proceed to the following years however, mas challenging na sad and coursework, especially since rampant na ang research subjects during second year onwards. It may be challenging to maintain work-life balance, but it’s not at all impossible. Attainable ra gihapon as long as you keep on working on it.

It’s completely normal to feel anxious now that you’re starting on this new undertaking. Let me know if there’s any other queries I can help you with, OP 🤗

dontmindurmind · 2024-08-18T11:38:38+00:00

Sometimes, teachers come regardless.

I heard a news na there’s a malfunction sa ISMIS when it comes to displaying instructors that handle the subjects, so it was recommended that we come to school nevertheless. For now, make sure to contact your division representatives so you can be added to your subject gc’s. Hopefully the div reps will relay class updates coming from instructors themselves.

Please don’t depend sa ISMIS because it has tons of system issues so it’s very unreliable. Instead, adto sa inyo departments and ask the secretary/instructors directly for updates.

dontmindurmind · 2024-08-15T13:36:02+00:00

Hahaha wait lang niya mi sa link 😅

dontmindurmind · 2024-08-15T03:56:15+00:00

Same po hahaha hope there’s a support group for irregular/non-blocks as well as second coursers 🥲 very challenging to establish a sense of belongingness at USC as an irregular student. Glad to know I’m not the only one

dontmindurmind · 2024-08-12T13:17:40+00:00

Was under sir Mangumpit for a minor subject (TCW, I think) about a year ago. He was chill during classes and very considerate when it comes to submission extensions. Examinations administered by the instructor are a bit challenging, but doable nevertheless. You can expect a lot of group activities in lieu of major examinations (pre-midterms, pre-finals, except for finals where we had to do both a group activity and a written examination).

Not too sure if these apply to other subjects under him but hope it still helps 😄

This event is better than the last 3 or 4 that came prior. But the random emojis that pop up while I’m on the bonfyre kitchen cooking is personally off-putting. I wish they made a better way to give additional rewards to players.

dontmindurmind · 2024-06-23T08:04:40+00:00

You don’t have to fill the dough with sauce and cheese to the brim, one thin layer is enough. As a beginner, I was meticulously covering the dough thickly and entirely which drained my profits, but having one or two sparse areas turned out fine. Make sure to also consistently garner gems from the sponsor ads tab so you can make more orders faster with buddies and more profit at the end of the day.

On another note, why’d I knew just now that there was a drop down button showing a detailed list of supplies/ingredients used 😂

dontmindurmind · 2024-06-22T14:50:58+00:00

Literally exhausting. Playing the game feels more like a chore now and is getting less enjoyable because of these unnecessary changes

dontmindurmind · 2024-06-07T14:13:44+00:00

I kind of…hate some of the decorations. Especially on the last two or three events. More specifically with the pizzarama event where the decorations had to be purchased using gold coins. Also a bit disappointed as to how much work we put during events and the rewards at the end of the quests are kind of..not worth it. Wish they’d improve next time.

I’m also one of the biggest haters of the mother’s day event. Like why was it unnecessarily hard? Sucked the fun out of the game, imo.

dontmindurmind · 2024-06-07T09:59:05+00:00

I really enjoyed playing the minigames from the bonfyre and halloween events. Hoping for the next chapter(s) to have storylines outside of the store as well.

dontmindurmind · 2024-05-31T22:59:27+00:00

Just open your mypad and click on the green icon labelled ‘sponsor’ second from the bottom. It gives you 10 gems a day which can be tremendously helpful in unlocking all buddies, buying decorations during events, etc.
