There are others who are
sad because they are
leaving their families for
work because they are
OFWs. #2
It is true that a person’s
mindset is a big factor. #3
It’s a trip of mine to work
on January 1 because of a
superstition that I will
have work for the entire
year.#4 [REFRAME]
Good morning, Admin. #5
Being smart is not needed
in USM. #5 [DECON]
What is needed is just to
pass your subjects.#5

DIRECTIVES
We just need to focus on
things that we can control.

That’s how you do it,
Donnalyn, so that you
have acknowledgement on
the feelings of other
people. #1 [GA]
Don’t mind my grammar
since we are not in a
symposium. #1 [NORM]
If you don’t like where you
are, maybe there are
things to be done for next
year, so that you are no
longer there. #3 [GA]
Change mindset, it’s
2023!! #4 [REFRAME]
We should be grateful
because we still have a
job.#4 [GA]
If they are disappointed or
they feel stressed then let
them be. #6
COMMISSIVES
I hope you feel better soon
about your job this 2023,
be it the same or another
one. #1 [DECON]
But because of how tough
life is now, even though it
is hard, I hope we have
something to be thankful
for. #3 [PS]
US or CS, they all have the
same salary when they
have jobs. #8 [DECON]
EXPRESSIVES DECLARATIONS
Sorry that you feel sad (Sighs) This is no longer
going back to work. #1 high school. #5 [REFRAME]
[RECOG]
It must be difficult to drag Let’s just fight on.#9
yourself to office, [REFRAME]
especially if you feel that
you need to work
regardless of how you feel
because you have a family
to feed. #1
Why are their sad people,
because it’s already back
to work?#4 [REFRAME]
Anyway, this is just a
reminder that having a job
is a blessing.#4 [RECOG]
The fact that you are
healthy is a big deal
already. #3 [RECOG]
If work makes you
unhappy, I hope you will
find a job that will. #4 [GE]
(Sighs) Almost all the posts
I see among the students
of USM are all rants and
discontents about their
grades being 3.0 or that

We must be happy if we
receive grades of 3.0 or
INC because college life is
about survival. #5 [PS]
Let’s just accept (the
grades) what we receive
and enough with posting
this and that.#5 [NORM]
Be thankful also to your
teachers even if they failed
you or gave you an INC.#5

they failed.#5
Good luck to you. #5
What if they are aiming to
be US or CS and they got a
grade of 3.0, who will not
be stressed about that? #6
If you are contented with
the grades that you
received, then good for
you. #6
Good thing I have not
experienced getting 4.0
but 5.0, a lot.#7 [NORM]
It seems that time won’t
let me graduate. #9 [PS]
