For ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ป๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฅ. ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ, a 3rd-year BSCE student and ESAS Scholar, the road to success hasn't always been a straight line. Reflecting on a challenging probationary period during her first year, Princess shares how a "slap by reality" ultimately strengthened her resolve and her foundation in faith.
"I survived up until this year because of faith," she says. "Itโs been a long journey, but with God guiding me, thereโs nothing to be worried about. He got me. He got you."
To navigate the demands of engineering, Princess relies on a balanced blend of disciplined strategy and intentional self-care.

Princess believes that success begins with deep intentionality and self-awareness. She emphasizes the importance of noting down everything and mentally tracking your own study habits to build a sustainable momentum. When it is time to work, she advocates for total immersion โ shutting down social media and eliminating distractions to give your absolute everything to a specific subject. Beyond individual effort, she highlights the power of community, encouraging students to surround themselves with peers who share the same goals and to never hesitate when seeking or offering help with study materials.

Maintaining that energy requires a practical approach to physical and mental well-being. To stay alert and active during midnight sessions, Princess swears by keeping "focus snacks" like ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ฑ๐ผ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ on her study table. She also views food as a vital "comfort buddy," using it to compensate for lost sleep and to boost her spirits during heavy exam weeks. To prevent burnout, she recommends a rhythmic approach: alternating between periods of intense focus and short breaks with entertainment videos to reset when the mind feels full.
Above all, Princess reminds us to stay grounded. While schoolwork is a priority, taking care of yourself and enjoying the process is what truly sustains the journey. As she puts it: ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ป ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ด!
