How I (barely) passed my College Entrance Tests

    I wasn't supposed to write this until recently a tumblr mutual who is an upcoming Grade 12 student asked me for tips on how I prepared, studied and handled my College Entrance Tests [CETs]. Warning for grammatical errors since I am writing this at 3 am. For validity purposes, I surprisingly passed 5 universities: DLSU [DCAT], FEU [FEUCAT], UP [UPCAT], ADMU [ACET], and UST [USTET]. I also passed the 2020 DOST Scholarship, a scholarship for students with science-related courses.      Please take note that most of the tips included here contain what I researched prior to my exams, what I applied, what worked, and what I should have done, so this is loosely based on the expectations/realities of my college entrance exams. I also included some of my experiences during application ( such as choosing a course for each university ), before, during and after examination ( such as what to do about your post-test anxieties ),and lastly, what to expect for each uni...

[ANNOUNCEMENT]

As you all noticed, as of December 2018, I have made most of my blog posts private for only me and my followers exclusively —meaning, unless I have a post set to public, no one can view and comment on that post anonymously. There had been severe cases of privacy invasion and infringement, and with most of my blog entries being personal, it was hard not to turn a blind eye on the situation. Unfortunately, to prevent more damage, I will remove some of my inactive followers as well. I will continue to post and create public content if I can, so if you want to view all of my previous and future private posts, you can contact me at tumblr: @morsaa-chii and let's talk. ciao.

The Process of Travelling

     I was once told that travelers are thought-provokers; that they are people — normal people looking for sense in this obscure world. The journey of travelling is a way for them to discriminate what to ask and what not to ask. In a sense, the purpose of travelling is the same as asking a question: may you be sure of where you wanted to go or is wandering around with no destination in mind, you are nevertheless wandering around. Travelling, for me, equates to precious time for self-discovery. I read before that people always want to discover things; may it be of outer space or the vast oceans, we all want to know the most of anything. However, we get too enthusiastic with worldly treks that we forget that the human mind is more undiscovered than many parts of the universe. Being a student of a prestigious school had its various kinds of hardships on different types of students. The stress of not being able to perform well, the pressure of not being able to meet expectat...
