Beyond Burnout: Redefining ECAs for Stress-Free Management

In today's competitive academic environment, students face

immense pressure to excel not only in their studies but also in extracurricular activities (ECAs) While ECAs are often viewed as essential for personal growth and college applications, their relentless pursuit can lead to burnout and undermine students' overall wellbeing The question we must ask is: are ECAs becoming detrimental, disrupting the healthy learning experiences they are meant to enhance?

As per daily obser pressure to excel in bot and ECAs creates a environment for stud schedules filled with competitions, and rehe little room for rela genuine

busyness can exacerbate stress levels and make the pursuit of wellroundedness a burden rather than a benefit While ECAs undoubtedly offer opportunities for developing essential skills like leadership and teamwork, they should not come at the cost of students' mental health

To truly benefit students, ECAs need to be redefined Emphasizing quality over quantity, fostering collaboration, and allowing for flexible scheduling can help balance students' interests with their academic workloads By adopting this approach, ECAs can provide a haven for skill development and community building without compromising well-being After all, shouldn't these activities be a stimulating escape from academic pressure, not another factor contributing to it?

The Currency of Academic Excellence

In the relentless pursuit of knowledge, where floodgates of

pressures and hurdles put our aspirations to the test, one proof of optimism and hope arises the grades Unfortunately, many would scoff that “grades are just numbers” and that they can never be the indicator that truly encapsulates the breath of our potential and what the future holds Yes, denotatively, they

are However, within those digits lies an ineffable truth, as grades transcend mere numerical value; they are currencies to intellectual prowess, speaking the amount of our unfathomable commitment and persistence to academic excellence Each digit is a talisman of diligence, a signpost of determination, and a representation of dedication all of which are imbued with profound features defining who and what type of student we strive to be amid our educational journey With that being said, let us not be content with mediocrity but instead fervently pursue excellence with unyielding tenacity All while allowing our grades to be the badges

to be the badges of honor earned through toil and sweat in achieving this By doing so, let us pour unmeasurable efforts and steadfast perseverance into every academic endeavor we embark on, undeterred by the hardships and pressures that lie ahead Along with it is the embracement of joy in the acquisition of knowledge we needed to navigate, for in the end, it is not merely the destination that matters, but the transformative voyage that we choose to undertake that leads us there Hence, heed my words, fellow learners, and let the fire of your aspirations keep burning within you, for this will never fail to illuminate the path into a better tomorrow that you always dreamed of having

The Value of Failure

Jay D Baldado

“Yellow pad to certificates to diploma.” --

Maria Czarena Keith B Ragay

my college journey, particularly the notion that the universe conspires to help us achieve our desires Failure, an inevitable companion in this odyssey, has been both feared and embraced Contrary to conventional belief, failure isn't the enemy but a crucial ingredient in the recipe for success, as manifested by prominent individual, like Mark Zuckerberg, who have stumbled before soaring College, akin to a complex labyrinth, tests us in myriad ways financially, mentally, spiritually Amidst the twists and turns, failures are often obscured by society's obsession with perfection However, these setbacks offer fertile ground for growth if we shift our perspective Instead of succumbing to disappointment, we can harness failure as a catalyst for resilience, driving us to work harder and seek guidance when needed

Clearly, the social and academic pressures in college are immense

The competition to excel can sometimes overshadow the importance of learning from our mistakes It’s easy to feel disheartened when faced with academic setbacks or personal challenges, yet it is through these very experiences that we build character and resilience Just like when I failed to pass an exam, I was devastated, but it forced me to reevaluate my study habits, to focus, and develop a more disciplined approach to my education

As I navigate the highs and lows of college life, I'm reminded that failure isn't a dead end but a stepping stone toward enlightenment Though the pressure to excel weighs heavily, each setback serves as a lesson in resilience and perseverance

Failure isn't a mark of defeat but a beacon guiding us towards the stars of our aspirations

Embracing failure with an open mind transforms it into a powerful tool for personal and professional growth By learning to view failure as an essential part of the journey, we not only overcome our fears but also unlock new paths to success and fulfillment

t some point, I have wondered what the future

will be like What profession or job will I end up with? Or whom will I be staying or living with? Or, even more, will I be able to live or visit my dream country? These inquiries piled up in my mind and all I could utter was, "I don't know "

“As a criminology student, my “As a criminology student my academic life so far has been a academic so has been a journey filled with challenges growth, journey filled

Yes, I really don't know In the midst of my college journey, my mind has become a wellspring of unanswered thoughts and inquiries from unknown calls Considering that I am already in the authentic battleground of dreams and passions, I find myself questioning if I am on the right track or not This thought lingered for some time I feel uneasy about seeing my high school batchmates already at the pinnacle of success, earning thousands a week, traveling from island to island, and coming home to their newborns and loving partners

However, here I am, amidst the trial of thoughts and dreams "Am I not fast enough to be like them, or are they too fast to be like me?" Often, we rush ourselves to be like others, when

in fact, we don't need to rush; we just need to be enough As I scrolled through social media, I was captivated by the relentless philosophy of Jean de la Bruyere, "No road is too long to the man who advances deliberately and without undue haste; and no honors are too distant for the man who prepares himself for them with patience " This illuminated my psyche, providing a window for me to see the beauty of the present moment

Clearly, being ourselves doesn't imply being the same as other people; and everyone doesn't need to be on the same path As "The Road Not Taken" implies, it is up to us, the drivers of our own journeys, to choose which road to take the most traveled by or the one not taken We don't need to be on the same path as others Despite the questions about the future, bear in mind that people have different paths, different timelines, and different lives and choices We may not be sure about our choices, but always remember, you have your own path

Slow down, your honor, you're on the right path

“The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn ”

The sun shines brightly at the sight of the warm smiles of the people, Looking at how they laugh in harmony, As if troubles and tiredness are not on their way, Glimmering eyes, embraced with happiness

Creating memories with their friends, Making sure every ounce is worthy to remember With their ups and downs, They never feeble

Though school works, And academic requirements seem endless, Financial problems, family problems, and tons of obstacles to face, Yet, with strong faith in God, we stand still

Dreams are hard to achieve, Our path to success seems blurry, We cry and get anxious most of the time, But keep in mind that we are here for our dream

Seeing reality with rainbows on its darkest side, A shower of rain, but with a hopeful smile, Having your supportive family and friends by your side, We knew everything would be worthwhile
