Life doesn’t always move according to our plans, and that’s not a sign of failure — it’s part of the process. It’s normal to feel lost, uncertain, or stuck sometimes. You don’t need to have everything mapped out right now. Give yourself permission to pause, to breathe, and to let go of the pressure to have all the answers. Some seasons are meant for reflection, not resolution. Your worth isn’t defined by how quickly you figure things out, but by the courage you show in simply continuing to try.

Remember: tomorrow is full of possibility. Even when today feels heavy, a new day brings fresh perspective, new energy, and another chance to take a step forward — no matter how small. Be gentle with yourself. You’re growing in ways you can’t always see, and every moment of uncertainty is quietly shaping the strength and clarity that will guide you later on. Trust the journey, even when the destination isn’t clear yet. You’re exactly where you need to be.

In response to the recent influenza outbreak affecting several communities, the institution is implementing a mandatory face mask policy to safeguard the health and well-being of everyone within the campus.

All students, faculty members, and staff are required to wear face masks at all times while inside classrooms, offices, and other common areas. This preventive measure aims to minimize the spread of infection and ensure a safe learning and working environment for all.

We also encourage everyone to practice proper hygiene — wash hands regularly, cover coughs and sneezes, and stay home if feeling unwell. Together, let us remain vigilant and responsible in protecting ourselves and our community.

Your cooperation is vital as we continue to prioritize health, safety, and collective care. 😷💙

Today is 𝙒𝙊𝙍𝙇𝘿 𝙈𝙀𝙉𝙏𝘼𝙇 𝙃𝙀𝘼𝙇𝙏𝙃 𝘿𝘼𝙔, and we are reminded of how essential it is to make mental health care accessible to everyone—especially in moments of uncertainty, crisis, and change. In a world that can often feel overwhelming, may we hold on to the truth that we are never meant to face our struggles alone. There will always be people, communities, and safe spaces ready to listen, support, and help us rise when the weight of the journey becomes too much to bear. 💚

As we commemorate this day, the 𝘐𝘊𝘐 𝘗𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘍𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴’ 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣 stands in solidarity with the call to nurture mental well-being and to break the silence surrounding it. Let this be a gentle reminder that your feelings are valid, your healing is important, and your story continues to matter—not just today, but every single day. 🌱
