HUMSS 101
Struggles of a HUMSS student
Too much research.
In this strand, doing research is something that you can't avoid, just like math. Different studies and theories are the main thing of HUMSS and more likely HUMSS students are stressed of. Research is life mga dudes.
Too much reading.
Ugh, yes, I am telling you. We HUMSS students must read a lot. Well, reading is part of the curriculum in all schools and subjects, but in HUMSS it pertains to a deeper knowledge. That is why you also need to use your critical thinking skills and understanding more.
Memorizing cannot be avoided.
I guarantee you that this is one of the real struggles of a HUMSS student. Ang daming imememorize sis. Terminologies, research techniques, speech and such. Basta kapag nag HUMSS ka, di mawawala pagmememorize.
Lack of sleep.
I think we all experience this not just HUMSS students. Because of zillions of PeTas and homeworks, sabay mo pa yung mga imememorize saka research. Diba, mawawalan ka talaga ng pahinga. Pero despite all of this, go lang, laban lang.
