You may have been told that #AcadsIsLife but sometimes getting caught up in all the quizzes, exams, and deadlines means forgetting that there's (another) life beyond it.
Prolonged periods of studying can lead to academic burnout. It can lead to frustration, irritation, and lack of interest in other activities that don't include poring over a book and sitting in the library for hours on end.
If you're to live our best acads life abroad, you should learn how to ward off burnout. As a student in another country, that's crucial. It's not cute being in a beautiful country and missing out on the many places to see and people to meet.
There are exciting ways to avoid burnout, mind you. One only needs to be curious and open. Societies or clubs are one way to enrich your cultural knowledge (and the 'vibe') of your new academe. Plus, they function because of people who have similar goals and interests. They range from formal ones like Philosophy Societies to a general interest like a BTS Club. Sounds a lot like fun!
Even though it's an unspoken rule that students must choose a society or club the minute they enter college or uni, some students still shy away from it because #AcadsIsLife. That's why we've rounded up 7 reasons why you should consider joining a society or club.
1. You'll realize life is more than just academics
Being a member of a society or club makes you rethink your perspective on academics because you'll see students acing their studies while also being a member of the society or club.
2. You make instant friends
Making friends in a new environment can be tough. A society or club enables you to form instant connections because you're all already there through a shared interest. No need for awkward small talks!
3. You'll develop new interests, hobbies, or skills
Societies or clubs give you the opportunity to explore hobbies, interests, or skills because they're mainly there because of those three. And, believe it or not, there are societies or clubs for every hobby, interest, or skill! So whatever floats your boat, you can explore in a more controlled setting with other people who share this interest.
4. Expand your horizons
Get perspective on areas different from what you're studying! It's important not to stay in a shell when you're in uni, and the society or club helps you in this area by bringing you people from different walks of life and backgrounds. And they may also come from a different major than you!
5. You'll learn how to work with people
Academia can be quite isolating at times. But being in a society or club enables you to partake in a community and work with people from different backgrounds. That's plus one in your people and social skills!
6. Find job opportunities through alumni
Societies or clubs bring you people who may have studied or taken the same path as you. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with them in a casual environment, and who knows, a job opportunity might be lurking 'round the corner!
7. Develop professional experience and build leadership skills
Similar to finding job opportunities through alumni, you can also seek out professional experiences like internships or being someone's mentee. This is especially helpful when you're a little shaky on skills needed for your current major or for when you just need a little inspiration and push from someone who's been there before.
So, there. Humans cannot flourish when we exist alone, and for someone who's in college or uni, joining societies or clubs is one way to commune with people who are curious about the same things as you. If you need more reasons to join, reread this again until you're convinced. Just remember that whatever tickles your fancy and floats your boat—there's a society or club for that! You might just find life-long friends and industry connections!

Interior Secretary Eduardo Año announced on Monday that face shields will be implemented again on the occasion that the Omicron variant enters the Philippines. This requirement is for "added protection" as higher alert levels will also be imposed as the need arises.

This proposal is due to the looming threat of the new variant that plunged the stock market. The face shield policy was lifted mid-November. Currently, wearing it is voluntary in areas under Alert Level 2. Only places under Alert Level 5 are required to wear face shields.
Año also noted that Health Secretary Francisco Duque III is in favor of imposing measures against the virus as deemed necessary.
A couple of months prior, a UP engineer stated that face shields are counterproductive as their structure traps airborne particles. On the contrary, local health experts support its value for protection.
There have been no detected cases of the Omicron variant yet in the Philippines. The government has suspended flights from South Africa, Botswana, and other countries with cases to prevent the variant's entry.

MANILA, Philippines -- The Manila city government recently acquired numerous anti-COVID drugs such as baricitinib, remdesivir, tocilizumab, and molnupiravir.
Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso and Vice Mayor Doktora Honey Lacuna personally received 6,600 tablets of the anti-COVI9-19 drug called Baricitinib on Friday, Nov. 26. This drug is prescribed for patients with moderate to severe COVID 19 symptoms.
Baricitinib will be available in the six district hospitals in Manila — Sta. Ana Hospital; Ospital ng Maynila; Gat Andres Bonifacio; Justice Jose Abad Santos; Ospital ng Sampaloc; and Ospital ng Tondo, as well as in Manila COVID-19 Field Hospital.
According to the Manila mayor, forty thousand capsules of molnupiravir will be given for free to Covid-19 patients after they present a doctor's prescription for the medicine, a positive RT-PCR test result, and a photocopy of the patient's valid identification.
"Pumanatag kayo dahil kasama niyo kami ni Vice Mayor Honey Lacuna at ang buong pamahalaang lungsod ng Maynila dito sa ating kinakaharap na pandemya," Moreno said.
"Patuloy kaming magsisikap na maging mainam, masinop, at episyenteng mga lingkod bayan," the Mayor added.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found a 29-day shorter recovery time in a clinical trial on COVID-19 patients treated with baricitinib plus remdesivir.

No act of compassion is ever wasted, no matter how small.
When the pandemic started, a lot of challenges in our world surfaced and shaped people's point of view. Still, a lot of people carried compassion around like a purse. They found different and creative ways of helping others who are vulnerable and in need. From just providing relief goods, neighborhoods then started their own "community pantries" and kept the gesture of giving!
Not only did people help in giving aid to others, some people also went the extra mile to be part of the solution — which is taking medical-related courses! Cool, right?
Challenges in the medical field
One of the problems in our country, which became more evident during the pandemic, is our healthcare system.
Having enough healthcare facilities is important, especially as new COVID-19 cases are reported each day. However, only urban centers have more access to healthcare facilities such as hospitals, clinics, and health centers. The Department of Health's list of hospitals showed that there are fewer hospitals in the provinces of Palawan, Agusan Del Sur, and Aurora — to name a few. In these rural areas, locals have to travel far before they make it into hospitals.
In terms of manpower, there are only 90,205 nurses and 28,639 physicians serving 109.6 million Filipinos, based on the DOH Human Resources for Health Statistics in 2020. This means that each nurse serves at least 1,215 people and each physician serves 3,826.
Needless to say, our country's healthcare system needs...help.
Heeding the call
Despite the challenges faced in the medical field and the fears that COVID-19 imposes, students heed the call of entering a health-related course to help change the world.
Today, more and more students have been drawn to pursuing medical careers to treat patients and save lives, because they understand that someone needs to step up and make a change! In a survey conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), over 22,239 students have already enrolled in medical schools in 2020 in the US alone. This is 1.7% higher than in 2019 where it only had 21,869 enrollees!
Additionally, they are more motivated to improve the system that we have. Research shows that a lot of students are motivated to continue with their medical careers because they feel a sense of purpose or duty — which is putting themselves at the service of the population. They also showed willingness to take risks in participating in medical activities, even in the midst of the pandemic.
These students see the pain and the suffering that others face and know that no one chose to be defenseless in the battle against COVID-19. Just like everyone else, they are choosing to have compassion and to take part in giving solutions — not only to serve their duties, but to also make the medical field better than what it is today!
Frontliners a.k.a. this generation's heroes
Not all heroes wear capes; some wear suits or scrubs!
Without a doubt, COVID-19 is scary. It isn't only that you can get infected and transmit it to others, but also because we are all vulnerable. Everyone, from any age, can get infected with the virus!
Medical frontliners continue to help save lives and fight against COVID-19! Their line of work is truly difficult and the pandemic made us realize that they are one of the most important people in the world! They have become the heroes of today who didn't let the pandemic stop them from fulfilling their duties of helping and treating patients. They are literally sacrificing their own well-being for the safety of us all.
You would think that medical frontliners receive a lot of benefits from their field of work but, in reality, they are overworked and underpaid. Their average salary per month is only P9,757 and during the pandemic, they were promised to receive hazard pay and special risk allowances. However, over 127,332 health workers waited for their compensation for two months and only received P3,000 per month — one of the reasons why some of them protested last September.
Calling them "heroes" should also mean that they receive the right compensation, benefits, and support that they deserve! Because we know that without them, the whole world will be crippled, and the recovery from the pandemic will be close to impossible! If we want more students to enter the medical field, we need to effect change — now.
