The study used a qualitative research design aided by an interview guide as the main method to obtain information from the participants. Through the purposive sampling method, the researcher selected nine (9) English major student interns. It was found that the interpersonal relationships and study habits of the participants were greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. They revealed their challenges with regard to their interpersonal relationships and the hindrances to maintaining their study habits. Furthermore, the themes that emerged in interpersonal relationships included challenges in connecting with others, striving to establish a connection, setting boundaries, and building positive traits. Meanwhile, the themes that emerged in study habits included watching video lessons, reading informative materials, browsing relevant sources, cultivating time management, and taking down notes. Moreover, there are various aspects that still remain in their study habits that are useful even before the pandemic, but during the pandemic, most of them prefer to browse the internet for its broad access and the fact that a lot of relevant information can be found there. Hence, despite the challenges and hindrances, they remain strong in facing all of those.
