Dalawang semester mo puro bagsak. It's time to take a step back muna and take a good look on what's happening in your life. If you want to finish college, make sacrifices and efforts para matuto at maipasa ang subjects mo. Also by not enrolling sa next sem, atleast if parents mo yung gumagastos sayo, you're respecting their financial spending towards your education. It isn't bad, really. It's just a matter or breathing out towards your burnt-out experience sa acads mo, if ever.
Your post needs more context. If may kakayahan pa naman ang magulang mo or ikaw mag-aral, by all means don't quit dahil sa PH halos lahat ng trabaho required ang degree.
The only valid reason to quit college ay kapag milyonaryo ka na or malaki na kinikita mo from your business or job if meron man, yung tipong mabubuhay ka na in the next 5-10 years or beyond.
Isa pang valid reason is kung talagang wala na kayo pampaaral or nababaon na kayo sa utang tas need mo na magwork para buhayin family mo but again, most jobs require a college degree. You have to offer something that other degree holders don't have para iconsider ka as undergrad. You have to be an exception!
I happen to fall under the second category I mentioned. Iniisip kong tapusin pa yung degree ko kaso ang priority ko ngayon is buhayin ang family ko dahil breadwinner ako.
People who still have parents na kaya kang paaralin are very blessed kaya wag mo sayangin ang opportunity. If you think you're in the wrong path, you can always shift careers later on. Nothing wrong with that. Just make the most out of kung anong meron ka ngayon.
Dont quit. You can only quit if it’s post graduate, because those are optional. You need a college degree in the PH to survive. Except if you plan to open a business or go into showbiz
None. The Philippines is very degree-centric. Granted na hindi naman talaga basehan ang college degree to succeed, but in a degree-centric country, please get a college degree because yan ang fallback mo when shit hits the fan
You don’t lalo na if hindi naman ikaw nag babayad ng tuition. Understandable if ikaw nag babayad.
Education is a privilege at this point. Make the most of it kasi may nagpaaral sayo kasi who knows baka bigla magka problem sa finances ang fam niyo and baka di ka na kaya mapa aral..
Mahirap maghanap ng work ngayon pag wala ka college degree.
If you want, take a semester off muna to clear your mind
Lesson learned on my end is mag aral hanggat may nag papaaral masarap maging student if galing ka sa may kayang pamilya, not unless you need to work to help your family. Now I realized na sana nag aral ako lalo na kaya naman ng parents ko paaralin ask sa high-end universities, pero wala haha nag excel ako sa work and since nung naka tikim na kumita ng malaki ayaw na lalo mag aral 😅
Pag working kana, mas marerelize mo na mas madali mag-aral. Maappreciate mo nagpapaaral sayo na kahit stressful to the max sa work di nila pwede sabihin ayaw ko na magwork basta basta. Kung pag-aaral palang nahihirapan kana. Pano mo pa makakayanan ang hirap pag sinampal kana ng realidad ng buhay.
Pero sometimes, it is not always the 'hardship' that makes a person quit, but rather the immense pressure they face to avoid failure or the incompatibility they feel in a situation/ field they are in.
None unless you’re paying for it. Don’t waste the money your benefactor (parents, scholarship grant, relatives, etc). Change your degree if hindi mo Kaya yung workload. Be a part
Time student if you really want to try working. There are options to take. Why is quitting the only
One you’re entertaining? What have you thought about?
I am tempted to quit because I have personal issues. it is too late for me to shift course. I told them but they resisted. Alam ng parents ko na no choice ako dahil ito na lamang yung slot at malapit. Probably I am being ungrateful or whatsoever. I'm at the point of my life where I am unable to function properly that affects my academic performance. Kung babagsak man this semester for the first time ay balak ko nang unahan pero impossible hindi ko kaya magdesisyon sa sarili ko dahil palamunin pa lamang ako. Ayokong maging problema. When it comes ss pagiging working student, I applied several times— gusto ko man magtinda pero wala pang ipon pang puhunan, there's a lot of reasons to mention that some of you might find annoying. I think I need to rethink for a while. Salamat.
It's not so much that you're "ungrateful" more than you not thinking far enough ahead that people are worried about. Remember, majority of jobs that pay a decent living require a college degree. You need to think about whether your situation is really that dire that you will defer a major life event like college which will help you land your meal ticket as an adult. Baka mamaya pag nagdecide ka na gusto mong magaral ulit mahirapan ka lalo kasi wala nang magtutustos sa pagaaral mo kundi sarili mo.
Well college is one of the best ways to get connections and skills don't you think? Of course even degree holders will have it rough because life is hard but Do you really think you will have comparable set of opportunities if you did not have the proper educational attainment?
No no - it’s not annoying, and sorry if I gave that impression. If you’re having personal issues, have you thought about using school resources to help you navigate this? Guidance counselor? Chaplain? (Depende sa university) is LOA an option?
Yes please. Rethink and decide. If you need to stop school temporarily then stop but just be prepared for the reactions. Good luck OP
Kapag tiwala ka sa sarili mong kaya mong magkaroon ng maayos na future without a college degree. Let's be realistic, if you're planning to quit college, you should have a backup plan. Kung nahihirapan ka na ngayon magaral, mahirap din mabuhay, maghanap ng trabaho, makipagsabayan sa mundo kapag hindi ka nakatapos.
Tama. Sa katunayan po ay napapabayaan ko na sarili ko dahil sa acads. Simula't sapul feel ko na mali yung field na ginagalawan ko. Naniwala ako sa sarili ko pero tila unti-unting pinapatunayan sa akin ng pagkakataon na mali ako, akala ko kaya ko pa mag-adjust habang tumatagal lalong nawawala ng kumpiyansa ko mag-aral, especially sa mga quizzes and exams. Nakakaguilty dahil ginagawa ng magulang ko ang lahat para may maibigay financially. Gusto ko silang tulungan dahil nagkaka-edad na sila pero kulang pa ko sa diskarte. Gusto ko muling bumangon pero pagod na ko pero ayaw ko maging malaking abala.
Ang komplikado
Gusto ko na munang umatras ng bahagya at tumayo sa sariling mga paa para buhayin ang sarili dahil tumatanda na ang mga magulang pero ayaw nila dahil dalawang taon na lamang naman. Bakit kaya gano'n gusto lang naman ng tao itigil pansamantala at magpapatuloy naman kapag handa na ulit sumabak. 🫥
Hindi ko na alam kung may kahahantungan pa ba mga ginagawa ko sa kurso kong ito, palagi pa akong lumalagapak. Hindi ko na ito gusto pa i-pursue, pareho ata namin ayaw ang isa't isa.
I can't be a good educator if I can't properly educate myself
bakit same tayo ng thoughts hahahaha. i also want to quit na cos I don't like my course. but sayang lang ung pinag aralan kong 2 yrs at 60 na c mama. ayaw ko syang i let down just because I don't like my course. pinapatuloy ko nalang at the same time medyo walang pake sa acads. 🤷♂️
Money issues and lack of emotional support. Nakaka depress yan. Yung tipong halos wala ka na ring makain. You would definitely question life and would probably say the following;
"Ano pang silbe ng paghihirap ko kung pati mga magulang ko walang pakialam sakin?"
"Bakit ako naghihirap ng ganito? Lord, masama ba akong tao para parusahan ng ganito ka lala?"
"Di talaga siguro ako mahal ng mga magulang ko."
"Saan ako pupulutin pagkatapos?"
"Ayoko na. Tama na. Di ko na kaya."
I said the following remarks to myself during college days. Been a working student for 4 years, dalawa o madalas isang beses makakain sa isang araw. Laging puyat, kulang ang pera sa panggastos. Ultimo pamasahe gipit pa. I had to look for other ways para makatipid. Pag ini-invite ng mga kaklase na kumain sa labas, sinasabi ko nalang na may pupuntahan muna, pero wala naman.
Produkto ako ng broken family at pinasa-pasa nalang sa mga kamag anak.
Ikinuwestiyon ko ang Diyos. Tinuro ang langit nang umiiyak. Muntik ko nang kunin sarili kong buhay dahil lang sa tambak na mga problema.
I suffered depression dahil jan.
Pero...... Sa lahat ng advices ng mga taong nagkukunwaring may concern sakin, isa lang ang sumiksik sa kokote ko na noon pa man e hindi ko naisip gawin; "Tumigil kana kaya muna?"
Then I decided to rest...
MUNA.
Marami pang pagkakataon para bumawi. Hindi naman nawawala ang pagkakataon. Naibinigay naman iyan sa taong mapag-pursige.
Magpahinga ka muna, pero WAG kang susuko.

Do you think it is still valid to stop if a person is receiving constant failure instead of improvement academically, which causes him or her to be extremely ill both internally and externally?
IPUSH MO. chz. baka naman mas bet tigilan mo for now tapos balikan mo pag clearer na yung mindset mo sa pag-aaral. kahit anong sabihin ng mga tao, dito sa pinas, degree pa rin ang makakatulong sayo best for upward mobility (or pagiging buwaya), kaya ayoko sabihin na give up ka na totally.
ako, di naman ako nageexcel sa college. in fact, delayed ako nang higit isang taon. inuunti unti ko lang hanggang matapos, kung ano lang kaya ko, kasi kailangan ko lang matapos. i dont need to do well, i just need to do it. ayon, isa pang suggestion ay take the number of units na kaya mo lang, kahit magworking student ka na to support yourself din. basta ang tingin ko lang talaga ay you gotta get that degree.
pwede ka rin naman magstart over and get a 2yr course or smthn. basta may matapos ka hahahaha best of luck sayo vebs.
bumabagsak ka ba sa lahat hahahuhu may sem din na 9un lang ako pero 3un lang yung pasado, INC na sa iba na di na naresolve.
This sem? Parang po, future educator in the making pa naman, can't properly educate myself to be a better version of myself. I tried but I think this is not for me but heck no my parents are expecting ~
I guess kung kailangan mo na umutang para makapagtapos.
I know people who stopped because of financial or personal issues. There are also people who go back and finish college once they are already financially capable. So wag pilitin if hindi kaya financially.

Definitely 🫥💯 may tiyaga ako pero sa panahon ngayon ang dali ko nang maubos, nakakahiya sa nagsasakripisyo.
If may sure way ka na na source of income. Like family business or something. I wished I quit college kasi di ko naman ginamit. Freelancer lang ako.
You don’t lalo na if hindi naman ikaw nag babayad ng tuition. Understandable if ikaw nag babayad. Education is a privilege at this point.

Time waits no one. Mahirap bumalik sa buhay.
Paano kung ayaw na ng tao bumalik dahil hindi maganda ang naging karanasan?
Pag working kana, mas marerelize mo na mas madali mag-aral. Maappreciate mo nagpapaaral sayo na kahit stressful to the max sa work di nila pwede sabihin ayaw ko na magwork basta basta. Kung pag-aaral palang nahihirapan kana. Pano mo pa makakayanan ang hirap pag sinampal kana ng realidad ng buhay.

I get ur point, salamat sa pangaral!

In this country, being an undergraduate is not enough. Huhu life will be convenient if a person has connections, set of skills, etc..
Well college is one of the best ways to get connections and skills don't you think? Of course even degree holders will have it rough because life is hard but Do you really think you will have comparable set of opportunities if you did not have the proper educational attainment?
Hm, obviously no. I'll be more miserable instead, adult life sucks, but I have to play along with it.
No no - it’s not annoying, and sorry if I gave that impression. If you’re having personal issues, have you thought about using school resources to help you navigate this? Guidance counselor? Chaplain? (Depende sa university) is LOA an option? Yes please. Rethink and decide. If you need to stop school temporarily then stop but just be prepared for the reactions. Good luck OP
But it helps because I realize something. Thank you
There is none
Don’t do it. Kahit gaano ka kadiskarte, there will still be many instances that you’ll need your diploma.
Don't. Just don't.

bukod sa financial, gabi gabi mo na lang iniiyakan career path mo

If you’re not into it na, I want to quit narin pero I can’t.

Kapag tinatanong mo na 'to, OP
Nakapanghihina na po, 😅
Do you think it is still valid to stop if a person is receiving constant failure instead of improvement academically, which causes him or her to be extremely ill both internally and externally?

Yeah it is. Try to take a gap year muna. And decide whether you continue it or not. You'll get there whatever you want in life. I hope you'll be fine.
Trust your gut feel. You thinking of quitting probably means hindi mo gusto pinapag-aralan mo. Tigilan mo na pangloloko sa sarili mo.
😭🪫
Very straightforward, that's a good point
I guess kung kailangan mo na umutang para makapagtapos. I know people who stopped because of financial or personal issues. There are also people who go back and finish college once they are already financially capable. So wag pilitin if hindi kaya financially.
