Gone are the days where school is made more bearable when you have something to look forward to after submitting requirements or taking long exams, whether it’s a simple lunch with friends or heading to the cinema to catch a new movie.

2020 in a nutshell: we started the year like fresh batteries, thinking it would be our year; but now, we’re all just nearly drained, waiting to be replaced or charged. 2020, kaya pa ba?

Because not all homes are fit for learning and students may be dealing with other issues that might make learning more challenging. Classes just opened for public schools and we hope that students would be able to adjust easily with online learning.

How many times have you given yourself a five-minute phone break that turned to three hours of stalking and watching random videos? Ah, the promises we give ourselves that we can’t keep.

What keeps you up at night and when was the last time you had a full eight hours of sleep? You’re not alone at losing sleep during this trying time. We’re all just trying to keep the anxieties at bay, fam. Baby steps!

We didn’t ask to be called out like this! Not at us investing in expensive skincare products to achieve that Korean glass skin but would still end up sleeping at 3 AM. Sinong niloloko natin?
Marupok Club
Whether it’s a relationship, a guilty pleasure, or online shopping, how many times have we said: “last na?” To all the marupoks out there, 10.10 sales are just a few days away. Time to uninstall the apps and save some cash! Or not.

We were not mentally prepared for this months-long quarantine and sometimes (or most), coping can become challenging. We instantly had to make adjustments in order to stay safe, but at what cost?
