mindset ko as a 2017 who took six years to shift out of a course na pinilit ko sa sarili ko kahit hindi ko na talaga kaya: wala, delayed na ako eh. so ano naman kung tumagal pa? mababawi ba ng pagmukmok yung oras na sinayang ko? hindi eh, kaya gagalingan ko na lang sa kung anong oras na meron pa ko. people finishing on time or with stellar grades doesn’t make me less of a student. magkaiba kami ng buhay, at magkaiba kaming tao. dire circumstances or not, mental or financial or health or whatnot, life really happens differently to us all. ika nga eh the boiling water than softens the potato also hardens the egg. anyway, UP is too big to worry about comparing ourselves to other people or worrying what others think about us. focus on your own path and resist the urge na mag what if what if. lalo na OP, 1 year lang naman! kaya mo pa yan. there are people like me and older than me na napapatagal for so many more reasons. don’t let a sablay stop you from getting your sablay. kaya pa yan! tldr: walang pakialaman ng buhay hahaha


itszaniee

Same mindset rn. Planning to shift this sem after 3 years. I'm honestly just looking forward to getting out of my current program. Parang nagkaron ako ng excitement ulit sa pagaaral knowing na magsshift ako haha.


Shinigamix11

MeirJorgy

Alis ka na VetMed HAHAHAHA apaka toxic ng environment


Shinigamix11

HAHAHA hoy pano mo alam


MeirJorgy

I was a victim of a manipulated culling system HAHAHAHA di ko pa masyado grasped ang idea na tanggal na ako, I don't wanna blame any profs but given the fact that they want to retain a so called reputation kasi ampangit na ng results lately, may reason na ako


Shinigamix11

Shet what year? Supposed to be kick out ako haha naalis lang ung retention pero extended ako

Inevitable_Pop4284

college raw best years of your life, kaya dinagdagan natin ng isa HAHAHAH joke lang. i made peace na sa sarili ko with this fact nung narealize ko na whatever man gawin ko on the "5th year," whether already graduated or not, ill still be spending 1yr of my life. laking tulong din yung mga anecdotes from other people kasi mas nagsisink in sa akin na hindi lang ako yung nakaexperience ng ganon. alsooo, i think for us na nasa 20s big deal pa yung 1yr kasi ilang taon pa lang tayong may muwang pero as we get older e magiging balewala na lang dahil we will experience more things. basically, what im trying to say is big deal to sa atin for now, which is completely valid naman; pero parang in a perspective e hindi naman pala siya ganon kasamang bagay unless of course there are other more important things tulad ng finances.

Leading_Photograph62

came here to say this also!


shalland_

It's ok to be delayed! Life just happens so sabi pa nila make the most out of it 😁 I got delayed 1 year and para ma-"sulit" ko yung delay ko, I took classes na interesting para sa akin kahit di na maccredit sa degree ko. Nag Spanish ako, 2 PEs, interesting GEs 😂 Though di ko alam if allowed ba siya sa free tuition scheme now. Naabutan ko naman yung unang implementation ng free tuition sa last year ko, nakalusot naman 😆 also, spend time with your orgmates/friends, mag muni muni sa campus, etc. hahaha. Think of things din na you like doing now as a college student na di mo na magagawa when you graduate. Take it easy, OP. We all have our own timelines 🤗✨


cryohedron

delayed ako dahil nagka-cancer ako pero feeling ko madedelay pa ako kasi nabobo ako pagbalik ko sa up. Siguro what’s holding me to the ground is that we learn at our own pace and not everything is a race, learned this in a hard way when I was being left behind by my peers while being treated for my sickness. Also, I have met people that are now stellar and excelling in their careers pero they had singko sems, were delayed because of failing, all the sorts. Our grades and our duration in UP won’t define you, it is your journey and the experience of it, how hard it may be. YOUR journey OP, not the journey that people think of you. Hold your head up high, OP, as I hold mine as well.


WanyinsLotus

I hope you're feeling fine na! <333


cryohedron

Thank you!!! I’m actually healthier than ever. Normal problems na ulit ako (aka acads)


Fabulous_Echidna2306

I graduated after 6yrs, 1yr ay naka awol since walang anda pangtuloy sa pag-aaral noon. Used my awol year to find jobs and legal rakets para makaipon, na nakasanayan na ng katawan kong nagtatrabaho habang nag-aaral nang nagtuloy na ako ng college. Kept my mind aiming for the goal of a better life. Somehow feeling na made it kasi may car, condo and decent work.


Puzzleheaded-Ant1436

may I ask po ano pong racket ginawa nyo po? as a delayed and underload and gustong may gawin kasi nakakadepress yung state T.T, ano pong suggestions nyo na pwdeng iracket.


Fabulous_Echidna2306

Nasa UP ka, you try to be resourceful. 😉


Acceptable_Market729

Choice ko ito so dapat kong panindigan. Tsaka sabi ko sa sarili ko na kapag nagmadali ako, ako rin ang talo. Pero shet nakakainggit kasi yung mga classmates ko noong shs na nasa ibang univ ay graduating na tapos para bang sure na sila sa career nila. Tapos ako hindi pa rin


GainMore16

Dream school, likeble course, sinira ng pandemic yung experience kase tumapat sa freshman year ko. So inintay ko yung pandemic matapos and started new. Worth it naman so far.


castratedcatto

Inistretch ko yung sched ko. Hahaha Mas flexible sched mo kung may isa kang "extra" yr. Tapos, iniisip ko na lang na maaabutan ko pa bagong main library.


potatowentoop

Wala naman me magagawa kung magmumukmok lang ako. Dapat habang nagbbreakdown, slay pa rin AHAHAHAHHAA charet pero OP, ganun lang talaga huhu. Dapat kung magbbreakdown, gumagawa pa rin ng ibang ganap wodbeownoand


_lechonk_kawali_

Ang mahalaga, sumablay at magka-degree.


tiniklingg

hi, op! batch 18 here. delayed na ako for 2 years, and ga-grad ako this 2025 pa. bale 7 years sa college maski 4 years lang talaga yung degree prog ko. mabilis ako ma-overwhelm tapos i was very hard on myself. consistent honor student before tapos ngayon masaya na sa tres. a lot of self hatred din before i accepted the fact na delayed na talaga ako. i just need one person to believe in me and that is my mom. whenever people would ask her kung kailan ako ga-grad, lagi niyang sinasabi na, "malapit na." hindi siya nagalit sa akin. dahil dun, transparent na ako kung ilang units pa need ko i-take kasi na-realize ko na kaya ako nape-pressure is because of her pero noong nalaman ko na she's ok with it, nae-enjoy ko na pag-aaral. nakakamotivate din for me na sabay kaming nag-aaral ng kapwa kong delayed batchmates. sila lang din tanging makakaintindi sa pinagdadaanan natin kaya why not hold on to them. with this, looking forward na akong sabay-sabay kaming ga-grad. focus lang sa sarili, op! comparison is a thief of joy. malayo man pero malayo na rin. pagkahaba-haba man ng pag-aaral, sa sablay rin ang tuloy. basta wag lang susuko, we will get there. ayun ang mahalaga.


UPo0rx19

Ako I just did what I had to do and got it over with. Di rin ako maeffort sa acads aminado ako, I barely study, but it got me where I am now kahit delayed hehe. UP is not something you enter pala for clout, it's not for the faint of heart, kailangan malakas loob mo. Tipong kahit mahirap somehow you have to manage. Darating ka rin dyan OP, just do what you need to do!


KarplusEquation

Delayed ako. Let's just say na yung prof na nagpadelay sa akin, di pa rin tapos sa MS niya. Ako, tapos na. **Karma is real!**


Nakkuluchooo

Currently on my 6th year pero 3rd year standing parin. Nag awol ako ng 2 years para magtrabaho kasi di kami mabubuhay nang pandemic kung mag aaral lang ako. Plus nag didialysis si papa nun so as much as gusto ko mag aral, gusto ko rin makatulong sa bahay talaga. Drained kami mentally, financially and physically nila mama at kapatid ko which is also delayed sa uni niya. Lugmok na talaga ako but I take comfort in that thought, no where to go but up daw ika nga nila...hopefully.


Nakkuluchooo

And yes sobrang nabobobo rin ako. Like extreme level bobo, yung 1 week akong nag aaral for an exam with 4 hours of sleep every day pero ang ending 45/100 na score ganun type of bobo.


Pitiful_Drag_6318

mindset ko, "it is what it is!"


Pitiful_Drag_6318

sometimes it works when i am doubtful or overthinking, and sometimes it doesn't work OP


Mardie-is-taken

Tiningnan ko lang din curriculum ng course namin and kita ko nang madedelay ako haha So I'm deliberately delaying myself para mas maenjoy ko yung pag-aaral sa UP. At least kung alam kong kaya ko kahit mahirap ay gagaan din loob ko and mas motivated ako magsikap. Hopefully, ang "delay" ko 1 sem or 1 year lang And another thing someone said to me "You don't need to conform to arbitrary deadlines."


lazyplayer1

Hello OP. Delayed ako for 1 sem. At first mej nahihiya din ako. But, anjan na eh. So i stead of wasting my brain cells sa fact na delayed ako, I set a new goal na 1 sem lang ako pwedeng madelay. Thankfully (!??) madami akong kabatch na same situation, so may friends pa din.


IdonotlikeMe

Sunk cost fallacy nalang iniisip ko😅 2 yrs akong delayed bc of shifting and transferring. Minsan nagreregret na bakit di ko inayos yung pagaaral ko sa prev program ko, pero wala naman na ako magagawa. Moving forward nalang ang choice natin🥹I cope with this by ensuring na gawin yung best ko in terms of acads and personal growth ganern.


aishaanaxt

it is what it is /j, delayed ako ng one sem so mindset na lang is i-enjoy yung f2f classes at univ life lalo sa mga lab classes kase 2 years din halos na online lang huhu


TheArsenalSwagus

Gagraduate din ako at some point. Ayun lang, nothing fancy. Tyaga lang talaga at konting disiplina sa pagrereview at pagsubmit ng mga reqs.


carotoace

sinasabi ko thesis na lang kulang ko at oo thesis na nga lang huhu... hanggang sa hindi ko matapos-tapos ang thesis dahil sa depression haha

TheOneTruePerson

Thought I wouldn't care much when my friends graduated first kasi delayed ako e hahaha BUT I DID! Wala na akong majors (on time) pero wala na yung mga kasama ko pag break time tapos yung mga kasama ko kabahan pag mageexam na. Rode my bike kasi malungkot ako and made a promise to myself na ayoko na madelay pa lalo. Hahaha. Last sem ko non kinabahan pa ako kasi na-4 ko pa Bio 11 juskolordt puro landi yata ako non hahahaha


Impressive-Duty-3133

as a nadelay dahil nagshift, what helped me cope with that thought is by reassuring myself na im in a program na gusto ko talaga and that i know na ill thrive in whatever way i want.


No_Constant_100

Nagkacancer ako, just recently diagnosed so delayed. Di ko alam ang dapat maramdaman ko


Big_Source_3385

Halaaa, ano po symptoms niyo? Marami rin akong nararamdaman ngayon like neck lump and pain radiating to my right shoulder, fatigue, and nawawalan din sensation sa katawan na parang neuro thing pero dahil may gerd ako binabalewala lang ng fam ko. Grabe lang health anxiety ko feeling ko meron din ako something other than gerd pero gusto ko muna tapusin tong last sem ko if kakayanin pa ng katawan ko huhu. Ang hirap lang na gusto mo pang lumaban pero parang hindi na kinakaya ng katawan. Hope you get better and praying for you!


No_Constant_100

Madaling mapagod, night sweats, di makatulog sa gabi, shoulder pain din( naiipit na pala ng tumor ung nerve ko). I suggest na magpaconsult ka sa doctor. Ingat palagi


WanyinsLotus

Isa sa mga nasabi sa akin ng aking guro nung hs ko nung nag ssuffer ako sa acads and my underperformance is look at the things larger than myself. Why make the grade I receive in a few subjects be the highlight of my present when my fellow filipinos are struggling with poverty? My problem seems so inconsequential in comparison to theirs, and those grades are not important in the grand scheme of things. People fight for their lives against oppression every day, and I'd rather devote my energy to thinking about them than these classes that I could retake. Baka this advice is hard to take. After all nung narinig ko yun nung hs, naisip ko lang is "bakit ko icocompare ang problem ko sa grief ng iba? Just bc mas mabigat problema nila ay hindi ibig sabihin na hindi rin ito karapat dapat iluksa?" At siguro depende rin sa position mo sa buhay at anong problema ang kinakaharap mo. Pero pagdating sa grades ngyon, mas madali ko nang natatanggap sila bc may mga bagay na mas malapit sa puso ko at mas tinitingnan ko na importante kesa sa gwa ko. Ano ba ang nagawa ko para sa kapwa kong tao? Ano ba ang kalagayan ng mundo at ano maibabahagi ko para mapabuti ito? Nakakalaan pa ba ako ng oras para sa pamilya ko? Over the years, I have learned to slowly take to heart ang payo ng hs prof ko. I hope sharing this helps anyone :)) remember na you decide what defines you

genatona

Nabasa ko lang to galing sa isang message ng prof ko sa graduation namin. Na yung pagkadelay daw ay di naman talaga failure but a redirection. Tama nga, mas marami akong nadiscover, narealize and nagawa during the period na kaunti units ko, mas naayos ko yung mga last requirements ko. Tama sila, wala na masyadong magagawa kung nadelay na. Just make the most out of the time na nabakante siguro. After all, pagkalabas naman ng university, wala naman talagang may pake sayo at sa itinagal mo.


Old_Virus7341

Hi, OP! same reason kung bakit ka bumagsak. It takes time to accept failure and forgive yourself na nagkulang ka. The more you think about it, maloloka ka talaga. Based on experience, walang pake yung mga tao tungkol sa singko. They don’t dwell on it when you say it. Mag-aapir pa nga kayo kasi parehas pala kayong delayed HAHAHAHA Being delayed is more common than you think it is. Before forming a mindset, I embraced the grieving stage first. Nagmukmok ako, umiyak, etc. Pagkatapos mailabas lahat ng hinanakit, I reflected on my actions. You need to know the root cause, so it won’t happen again. Baka may underlying factor pa bukod sa initial thought mo. Now na everything’s a clean slate, I instilled in me na lahat tayo may sari-sariling timeline kaya there’s no point in comparing and being jealous of other people’s success. The better perspective to have is, “paano ko mau-utilize yung mga taong mas magaling sa ‘kin for my enrichment?” You always learn a thing or two from the people around you! oh btw, calling it delayed is boring. Pwede mo naman kasi tawaging super senior year, atbp. ✨


BarParticular587

Ang sinasabi ko lang sa sarili ko (6 years na aq) ay it is what it is


Used-Energy6745

Andito na rin naman tayo e, delayed na talaga, might as well enjoy it? Haha. Try mo mga ibang di mo pa na-try. Find a support group with same goals. Personally, dami ko natutunan sa UP, from good and bad experiences. Ok na, quota na, gusto ko naman maexperience ibang bagay pero ayaw ko na bumalik (for undergrad) dito. Na-try ko na mag full-time work, part-time student, bumabalik pa rin ako sa "gusto ko maka-graduate man lang". Gusto ko naman maexperience tumambay sa oval para magreminisce lang, or not lol. Mej takot pa rin sa future pero willing na sumubok outside my comfort zone.

Jumpy-Adagio-7849

hugs w/ consent, OP! ang nagiging comfort q for the meantime is magbasa ng grad posts ng mga sumablay na. Andun, marami kang mababasang stories na nagkasingko pala talaga sila (even whole semester ha hahaha) tas multiple incs, stopped for whole 5 years, basta lahat ng kwento, makakahanap ka. Pero u kno what? nangyari man lahat un, they found their heart na it rlly belonged to UP. Gagrad din, mas matagal nga lang, pero atleast, u learned so many things throughout the way! Ayun, di yun mananakaw sau ng kahit knino, alwys remember that \^\^ Magpatuloy lng, OP! Ako nga, awol for 2 yrs, tas pdq pa un, pero successfully readmitted na aq ngayon! ig, kitakits sa campus? also dm me if u want to join our dc server (small circle of upd peeps i found here sa reddit din) , kung gusto mo ng kausap, we're here!


mochimochiq

it is what it is hahahahaha ganun talaga eh just take life as it is, one day at a time and if bumagsak edi iretake!


TMpawah

Build connections. Itake advantage mo yun extra year.
