The real reason why I took a semester off from graduate school is to have more time to prepare for my thesis. I am one semester away from finishing my MBA, and the pressure is so overwhelming. The previous two semesters were really exhausting. I didn't know what crossed my mind when I enrolled 12 units (equivalent to 4 subjects including STRAMA 😭). When you have a day job, it's recommended to take 2 to 3 subjects only. For the previous semester, I took up thesis writing 1, comprehensive exam and one specialization subject. Didn't know how I managed to survive, but yeah, I'm here, still alive and kicking!

| Taking a Break From Grad School |
I can say that taking a short break is good for both my physical and mental health. I took time to recover from stress and exhaustion. Of course, I also gave time for my social life (hello friends, I'm back)! Though in parallel, I still make sure that I have progress with my thesis..
So, why am I writing this blog entry? I don't know. Maybe I just like to share how I've been maximizing this much-needed and well-deserved break! You may probably realize that you also need a break, and get an idea from this (but I can't guarantee that hahaha, so bahala kayo 😂).
1. Travel
I traveled to Davao, Iloilo, Guimaras and Cebu. Next week, I'll be off for another adventure. Yay, I'm excited, Taiwan! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to travel. I love discovering new places, and making lots of memories with my loved ones.

2. Spent time with family and friends
3. Binge-watch TV Series
I wasn't able to start right away with my thesis because I was too distracted with Meteor Garden!
