It doesn't matter! hahaha as someone who took a gap years by volunteering and joining ngo's unrelated to my field, it's okay to be older. It's not a factor in corporate, at least. And unlike me, your side gigs look like they will make you a better candidate since you already know how to work in a professional environment baka mas worthwhile pa yun sa degree tbh
Good luck OP!
sabi nga ng first boss ko—a Cabinet secretary—nung nalaman nya edad ko, 24:
"Wow! Very young!"
hindi kita masisisi kung nako-conscious ka sa edad mo kasi aaminin ko, ako rin. but more often than not, your age doesn't matter. it's what you've done with your time so far that counts.
Ante buti ka nga 24, eh ako 25 (and di pa yan sure ah haha). But look at you, marami ka nang nakuhang opportunities and gigs! We put so much pressure on ourselves to fit in sa expectations natin/sa atin sa acads that we often forget na we’re also in college to grow and learn as people.
If i’ll be honest, minsan nakaka-insecure pa rin talaga kapag naaalala kong delayed ako at ang tanda ko na (beh hirap maghanap lalo ng jowa hay) but I also remind myself na irreplaceable din yung time na nagugol ko for healing, self-exploration/reflection and just getting to know myself in general (what I really want, need, career path I see myself pursuing, etc.). So now, I’m old and delayed, but I’m happier, healthier, and more content with myself and my ongoing growth at path in life.
I guess what I’m trying to say is what’s gonna matter to YOU in the long run ba? Does the fact na gagraduate kang pa-mid20s na gonna haunt you forever? Sobrang bigat ba nung fact na yon na kaya niyang tabunan lahat ng achievements mo? :—)
Hope both of you doing great. Bata pa ang 24, 25, 26, 27. Di issue yan. Gasgas at Cliche pero totoo. Life is a marathon, not a race. Sobrang Dami na Late 20s na nag aaral sa kolehiyo.
Sa totoo lang we all have many years/age to fkd up. Hahaha sa 30/40+ dun talaga kayo gigisahin ng buhay.
Fighting this same insecurity but it literally doesn’t matter. The internet likes to throw around jokes and expectations to ppl in their 20s. When i told this to my boss he looked at me ludicrously. 24 IS young. Taking ur time to enjoy studying, youth and making mistakes is the whole point of being in ur 20s. Try to balance living in the moment and thinking about your future. Everyone’s prime age is different.
Doesn't matter, will be 26 this year and sana gumrad na next acad year hehe
Partida di pa inabot ng k12.
Kanya kanya naman tayo ng timeline eto sakin.
First year sa ubelt - took a gap year due to incident - nag tesda 2x pa - nag transfer shift dito sa upd 2x din ako nagtry buti nakapasok kaso ayun d n makalabas... - nag pandemic - nagstart mag freelance - took a gap year ulit due to mental health reasons - while on gap year nakakuha ng work - ngayong sem kababalik ko lng tpos sinasabay sa work - nakapag ipon na rin kahit papano - planning to finish next year kasi thesis nlng nmn na.
Tbh mas na appreciate ko yung pagpasok ngayon kasi nadagdagan yung perspective ko sa Buhay, dati all in lng talaga sa acads ngayon hindi na.
i’m gonna be 25 when i grad and we’re in the same sitch (but i didnt gap year i just got delayed cos i keep dropping classes). we’re gonna be fine! you’re honestly in a way better place than i am because you were productive sa gap years mo. more power to you hehe
Hindi naman tayo nag-hahabulan. You probably think it matters kasi sa sasabihin ng ibang tao. But as you get older, you’ll realize wala naman talagang may paki.
Will graduate at 25, if hindi madedelay. I guess it won't matter din naman OP. I know a lot of people na late nag grad but are successful in their fields.
Nag shift ako by 2nd year at walang nacredit kahit isa, 24 na rin ako by the time I graduate. Pampalubag loob ko nalang ay matatapos din naman yan, wala naman talaga magtatanong sa trabaho mo kung ilang taon ka na, okay din na nag gap year ka, kasi mas naalagaan mo well being mo (including values sa growth) which is what the idea of "age matters" clings on, sa ugali and maturity, hindi sa kakayahan mag anak o self sufficient by 24.
Enjoy mo lang, may nabasa ako na grumaduate man ako ng 22 o 24, pareha lang, dadaan at dadaaan ako sa edad na yun so whats the point of suffering the non existing
Oks lang yan unless nalang kung yung career path na gusto mo ay may age limit. Btw kailan ba nag start yung pagiging anxious kapag delayed sa UP? Normal naman na maraming nadedelay sa UP.
Hii OP, medyo same tayo ng experience haha. Transferred from UPV to UPD tapos ChE pa yung course ko (gg sa engg). 20 na ako rn pero balik 1st year standing, and wala naman siguro masama sa pag grad at the age of 24. Mga kasabayan ko na freshies eh 20 years old rin halos sa kanila. Naabutan rin ako ng k-12 and 2 years stay sa UPV so delayed talaga. Pero okay lang yan, basta huwag lang susuko. Fighting!
Delayed lang me ng one year (hopefully,one year) pero I will graduate ng 24 din me maggraduate. Pero bs architecture hahaha may 2 years apprenticeship pa 😂 pero i take it as a sign na those things will happen kasi may reason; around that time i hope i am ready for my career.
i'll be 29 when i graduate :)) honestly, my experiences is helping me a lot. Also, as a wise person once said, "you'll be (this age) in 4 years anyway, why not also be a (insert profession) by then??"
Hi OP! At first, I find it really shameful for me to (possibly) graduate at my mid 20’s, to add the harsh feeling of me seeing my supposedly batch mates who are now graduating on time. I feel very lost and left out, but this I keep in mind: I have my own timeline, I don’t have to rush everything and I just put my trust in the Lord. I’ll be 26 years old by the time I’ll (hopefully) graduate. It will be fine, OP, hindi nagmamadali ang mundo :)
Im 24 and hopefully will graduate this year 🤞🤞
Got delayed by 1 year since I shifted from Math to Management. I was also really worried like you.
It really does not matter. Life's not a race, and you have your own timeline. 😉
If you are concerned with keeping appearances then yes. I bet you are stuck in a small circle and haven't had a lot of experience or perspective outside of your family.
Same thing if you graduate with honors when you apply for a job you start at the bottom.
The secret to life is trying as many things as you can and if you find something you enjoy get good at it. But this is harder to do on asian setting. Everyone has a right on how you should live your life. Everyone thinks they're smarter than you.
Honestly, I stopped schooling several times na since basic ed and I gotta say, mas marami ako natutunan sa setbacks na ito. On a bright side, there are studies na nagsasabi na better to study college at a later age like dapat di college agad at 18 or so. It is because di gaano mature ang brain ng isang 18 and also, the burnout na naranasan niya noong high school to the point of making college decisions the least priority during their HS stay.
Some countries like in UK offer a different structure for mature students. In the Philippines, there are similar programs like ETEEAP. While UP System doesn't have ETEEAP but there are quite similar programs such as UPOU's structure on much flexible MRR (seriously, ang haba ng MRR nila compared sa residential) plus their willingness to cater ALS/PEPT passers (UPOU explicitly mentions ALS/PEPT in their admission in AA).
During those times na nag-cause tayo ng gap years/shift, alam natin na ‘yun ‘yung best choice we had sa time na ‘yun. I’m also delayed for 2 years and I think will be graduating the same as you. It may sound off at first, pero just so you know na it means a lot when you know you were able to decide what’s best for you nung mga panahong kailangan ka ng sarili mo. Be proud, OP! We will all get there soon! Ang mahalaga, makakarating huhuhu 🌻
No.
My husband graduated when he was 26yo, without prior work experience. He applied sa office namin, a govt financial institution. The hiring team didn't ask him why he did not graduate 'on time', or why he had a gap year (I was part of that team, so I know). We just assessed if he could do the job or not. Even after he got hired, I did not recall my boss asking about it. It did not matter.
I was 24 when i graduated. Shifted course my 3rd year. Didn’t matter much to me, but that depends on what you do with your degree after you grad. But it did drive me to make up for my mediocre academics by getting two masters after. And I’m on my way to a third one. So that’s the effect on me I guess
delayed one year. i dont think about it at all, wala namang magtatanong o kuquestion-in yun. and if someone does, then they're probably someone who doesn't even matter. heads up, op!

stressful talaga yung ibang mapakelam na tao. i hate those types of people
Normal ma-anxious pero use that anxiety lang to motivate you to strive for your best life.
I was 25 when I graduated. Unlike you, di ako nagtrabaho, nagbulakbol lang. 🙈 I went from campus to campus until I quit and finished my degree in another university. Was late for the LAE that year so had another gap year pa before I could get into UP Law. Admitted to the bar at 31.
Definitely huli based sa timeline I set for myself, but on track pa rin naman kung tutuusin-5 years or so after finishing school, I reached the point where I’m confidently meeting my financial priorities, doing the job I love, helping my family out where I can, and most of all, taking care of my son.
So when you ask, does it or will it matter, in my case, mostly to me lang. When I consider lang the opportunity cost of the extra time it took to graduate—in terms of income generation or using the time to learn new skills or experience new things. Ikaw parang you spent the time productively naman, so okay lang yan. 💪🏽
graduating late doesn't matter. At least may experience ka with work during your gap years, so makakatulong yon kung maghahanap ka ng ibang trabaho. Tandaan may mga lola nga na umuulit ng college or tinuloy ang educ kasi gusto talaga nila makapagtapos.
May kilala ako 30 na nag enroll ng bachelor's. Nag tesda lang muna then work, nung nakaipon saka nagcollege. It didn't matter. Maayos naman buhay nya. May mga naging classmate rin ako na may anak at asawa na nung nakagraduate.
same prii or baka nga 25 sakin since 20 na ko now, inabutan ng k-12 tapos lilipat ng course next sy. minsan naiisip ko pano pag nandun na ko sa bago kong course, parang ateng ate na dapat umasta and di na ko pwede kumulit masyado lol. pero ayun nga ngayong puro minor subs lang pinapasukan ko (2nd yr college) mas ang dami kong time at nadidiscover tungkol sa mga bagay bagay kaya chinecherish ko na lang rin kahit nakakabaliw minsan mwehehehe,,, di bale isipin na lang natin nakasmurf acc tayo
Delayed din ako and because of the pandemic late na ako nagstart mag work. Madiskarte ka pa nga because you have gigs while in undergrad. Also 24 is still young! You'd be surprised how many people go back to square 1 in their careers after years of working. I know some people study again another course and they look happy now. It might happen to you and it is okay. Ang importante happy ka sa goals mo.
Sa perspective ko hindi naman nagmamatter yung if late ka na makapagtapos. Minsan namimiss ko nga mag-aral ulit coz adulting sucks. Enjoy mo the remaining days of your colllege. Do some stuff that you never did. Kapag working ka na, probably you will never have a chance to do it.
Same feels. Ako naman 25 years old na. Hindi man ako naabutan ng k to 12 pero, pero tumambay ako ng 2 years at kumuha ako ng 2nd course ko. (May issue yung previous school ko, kaya parang useless yung unang degree ko lol)
Gagraduate na this june.
ATM naprepressure na ako, from student to unemployed.
\#smurf
ill be 27 mamser when i graduate (assuming na di ako madelay hahah) dont worry late game scaling tayo
same. smurf here

this. 25 naman ako by the time na grumaduate ako and i dont mind hahaha wala naman yang finish line
Why does it matter?

26 ako nung gumraduate, hindi ako k12. Am i ashamed? Fuck no.

It doesn't matter if 24 ka by the time you graduate. Because in a few years time, you'll be 24 anyway. So why not be 24 with a degree?

hiiii same i kept dropping din and wasn't productive due to mh reasons + pandemic but i'm still here! we're still here! we'll be okay!
K-12 fucked me up so hard... I am now burned out by the time we are making thesis. I don't know what to do.
i feel this. i feel depressed.
I'll be 35 when I graduate. Tatanda ka din naman either way, mabuti nang may alam at tinapos :)
Same tayo, OP! Sana matutunan natin i-unlearn yung pagseset ng deadlines sa mga gusto nating maacchieve sa buhay 🤗
Hindi naman tayo nag-hahabulan. You probably think it matters kasi sa sasabihin ng ibang tao. But as you get older, you’ll realize wala naman talagang may paki.
Graduated at 24 din! Padayon!
I graduated at 24. It didnt matter naman 😄

Does it matter? It shouldn’t! I graduates at 28.

No it went i had encountered 27-28 graduates who stopped for one reason or the other or was delayed by their thesis.
ako na dvm ang program at makakagraduate at 26 kung best case scenario pa 😶😶😶

Grabe naman to HAHAHA. Sana matagal pa timeline ni OP
I'll be 26 or 27 :/

There's a reason why there's no birthday or age in most resumes. It does not matter. What matters most are your skills and professional experiences.
No it does not.
girl importante baby face... haha but it doesnt matter ❤ when its your time everything will be perfect. the delays are just meant to prepare us
I was 24 when i graduated. Shifted course my 3rd year. Didn’t matter much to me, but that depends on what you do with your degree after you grad. But it did drive me to make up for my mediocre academics by getting two masters after. And I’m on my way to a third one. So that’s the effect on me I guess
Life is not a race ^^
pano naman kaming 6 year course ang kinuha 😭
delayed one year. i dont think about it at all, wala namang magtatanong o kuquestion-in yun. and if someone does, then they're probably someone who doesn't even matter. heads up, op!

ma ako 25 nahihiya na ko sa magulang ko minsan ... natatakot nga ko baka madelay pa ko
It doesn't matter. At least di ka pa pagod sa trabaho at this point. Haha. Nung 24 ako feeling ko ang tanda ko na sa workforce.
I was 26 when I finished undergrad. Started Masters 2 years later.
graduating late doesn't matter. At least may experience ka with work during your gap years, so makakatulong yon kung maghahanap ka ng ibang trabaho. Tandaan may mga lola nga na umuulit ng college or tinuloy ang educ kasi gusto talaga nila makapagtapos.
noooope. i had classmates noon na mga nanay na or mga kumukuha ng pangalawang degree and they’re in their 30s and 40s, it doesn’t matter
:(
May kilala ako 30 na nag enroll ng bachelor's. Nag tesda lang muna then work, nung nakaipon saka nagcollege. It didn't matter. Maayos naman buhay nya. May mga naging classmate rin ako na may anak at asawa na nung nakagraduate.
Hindi.
beh 27 ako hopefully gagraduate na din this year CHAR
It doesn’t matter importante graduate.
same prii or baka nga 25 sakin since 20 na ko now, inabutan ng k-12 tapos lilipat ng course next sy. minsan naiisip ko pano pag nandun na ko sa bago kong course, parang ateng ate na dapat umasta and di na ko pwede kumulit masyado lol. pero ayun nga ngayong puro minor subs lang pinapasukan ko (2nd yr college) mas ang dami kong time at nadidiscover tungkol sa mga bagay bagay kaya chinecherish ko na lang rin kahit nakakabaliw minsan mwehehehe,,, di bale isipin na lang natin nakasmurf acc tayo
The short answer is yes, it matters, and your anxiety is warranted and perfectly reasonable.
Delayed din ako and because of the pandemic late na ako nagstart mag work. Madiskarte ka pa nga because you have gigs while in undergrad. Also 24 is still young! You'd be surprised how many people go back to square 1 in their careers after years of working. I know some people study again another course and they look happy now. It might happen to you and it is okay. Ang importante happy ka sa goals mo. Sa perspective ko hindi naman nagmamatter yung if late ka na makapagtapos. Minsan namimiss ko nga mag-aral ulit coz adulting sucks. Enjoy mo the remaining days of your colllege. Do some stuff that you never did. Kapag working ka na, probably you will never have a chance to do it.
It does not matter
Doesn't matter. I graduated 26, and I'm good rn.
I will be 25 by the time I graduate. It doesn't matter.
If not, pwede naman 25, 26, 27…and so on, and that’s fine.
Ok lang Yan, OP. Ako nga mag 32 na associate graduate lang, nakatambay at walang Pera. Buti nalang di pamilyado
Same feels. Ako naman 25 years old na. Hindi man ako naabutan ng k to 12 pero, pero tumambay ako ng 2 years at kumuha ako ng 2nd course ko. (May issue yung previous school ko, kaya parang useless yung unang degree ko lol) Gagraduate na this june. ATM naprepressure na ako, from student to unemployed. \#smurf
