Just turned 24 (F) this year and I’m currently still a civil engineering student (irreg, transferee, shifter, &k-12) while most of my highschool batchmates graduated college last year & this year. Yung iba nga kaka-pasa lng ng board exam sa respective fields nila.
While I know I shouldnt compare myself to them kasi iba course ko sa courses na tinake nila (mostly nursing, HR, educ, medtech, business ad, etc.), I still can’t help but feel like I’m “not good enough”
I still have 3 years left pa nga (so 7 yrs in total ako sa CE) and lowkey nakak-insecure tlga siya. I see others na nagpa-party, travel, & gala while still being a deans lister sa courses nila habang ako, I just got out of a burnout period (mahaba kasi pinabayaan ko. akala ko if i just ignore it, it would eventually go away) and gradually starting to feel life again (kahit challenging, I genuinely love problem solvings & maths pala tlga) parang “nahuhuli” na tlga ako kahit in terms sa life experiences (never pa ako naka-punta ng bar kasi di ako umiinom at never pa ako naka-gala w friends kasi medj hirap pa dahil irreg)
Alam ko naman na graduating on time doesnt fully guarantee success parin in life pero nakakalungkot parin tlga for me🥺
Any adults po in this sub who didn’t graduate on time? Where are you now po?
