โ€œLord, iparamdam mo na mahal mo ko.โ€

A thought that might feel a little familiar as exam season rolls around once again.

During these midterms, try to ease into your reviews and keep things manageable. Go over your notes, revisit the lectures that confused you, and donโ€™t be afraid to ask classmates or friends if something still doesnโ€™t make sense.

Studying doesnโ€™t have to be perfect. Sometimes, it just means showing up, doing what you can for the day, and moving forward from there. Whatโ€™s important is that you absorb what you learn, no matter how little.

Good luck on your midterms, mga ka-Psych!

โ€œHealing is a gradual process, and every small step toward understanding yourself is already a form of progress.โ€ ๐ŸŒŸ

Hey there, mga ka-Psych! Welcome to ๐“ข๐“ฝ๐“ธ๐“ป๐“ฒ๐“ฎ๐“ผ ๐“ธ๐“ฏ ๐“—๐“ธ๐“น๐“ฎ, our monthly series of Ateneans that bravely shares their personal journeys to everyone who have, had, and has similar situation. This February, the season of hearts and love, we shine the light on a story that reminds us that the most important love we build is also the one within ourselves. ๐ŸŒธ

This month is about Sunshineโ€™s Story and how she managed her anxious attachment style. This is a journey molded by healing & learning to choose self-compassion even on difficult days. Sunshine can be felt as warm and can be seen as bright, but beyond the softness people see, thereโ€™s hidden doubt & overthinking. Nonetheless, love blooms where fear once lived.

Sunshineโ€™s story shows that love can be seen even with the smallest effort. This Valentineโ€™s season, we celebrate a different kind of strength, the bravery to heal, to grow, and to love ourselves through every stage of becoming.
May this remind us that hope & love walk together. And sometimes, the heart we need to hold first is our own.

The loads of pressure and expectations gradually weighed down the shoulders of each candidate, where a quick getaway was all they needed. Come along and take a glimpse as they experience something that was all in one placeโ€”an escape.

Here, every corner is a story and every moment is a bliss.

In celebration of the 11th Anniversary of the Magna Carta of Studentsโ€™ Rights, XAVIER UNIVERSITY PSYCHOLOGY SOCIETY joins the Xavier Ateneo community in reaffirming our commitment to protect and uphold the rights, welfare, and participation of every Xavier Atenean.

In line with this, the XU-CSG Studentsโ€™ Rights and Welfare (STRAW) Commission launches the Atenean Centralized Toolkit (ACT)โ€”a digital helpdesk designed to streamline student assistance and grievance reporting within the university.

Through initiatives like ACT, we continue the work of ensuring that every Xavier Atenean has a space where their concerns can be heard and properly addressed.
