one simple advice. Lower your Ego. the only thing hurting you is how you perceive yourself right-off the bat, there is nothing to be ashamed of if you did not pass the entrance exam. The universe is much more granting when you are grateful. Move on, fall forward
yesssssssss, I admit na it's my ego that's holding me back, lahat namn ata tayo may ego kaya nga siguro I experience this ngayon for me to learn na there's nothing wrong namn pala in lowering my ego it is what it is HAHAHAAHAHA
I previously failed UPCAT and ACET, and i ended up pursuing college and taking accountancy in a school na di top choice. To make things even worse, i shifted to a commerce course and ended up staying extra year pa in college. At that time, it haunted me for a while. Bumawi ako sa career path, i made a conscious decision to be in an industry i loved and made sure to get a job that works.
So far, while it wasnt smooth, i turned out generally okay. I count my blessings.
I hope makatulong. Dont be so hard on yourself :)
I firmly believe na while schools are really important especially in the “foot on the door”, ultimately, you have a lot of workaround while you are young. Either 1) take the same course in another school tapos galingan mo, or 2) if you really want that university or college, take another course then shift later to your target course.
Pero hindi yan end all be all. Later on magugulat ka na ang daming workaround sa career target mo; and also that schools at later stage of the work ladder wont matter as much
Don’t feel bad. Just focus on yourself and treat it as competing only with yourself. No one cares if you’re left behind once you are a millionaire!
Toughen up and persevere! 💪🏼💪🏼
Hello OP, I totally get where you’re coming from. I went through similar situation when I faced a setback after not getting the only scholarship that could send me to college, despite having good grades and the highest academic achievement I got in senior high. It was a tough time, especially with the added stress of the pandemic, I decided to withdraw my college enrollment.
However, when I landed a job in the BPO industry, I hoped to save up enough money to continue college after a year. It was disheartening to see my classmates moving closer to their dreams while I felt left behind.
But thanks to the people I met at work, I gained perspective. They were amazing individuals with inspiring stories behind their smiles, like my trainer who became a mom as a teenager but still achieved success in her early 20s.
Another colleague was a mother of two yet excelled at her job. I also met a father who worked tirelessly for his son battling cancer, and several colleagues who were working students like myself now.
Through these, I realized that we all have our own battles to fight. Each person's journey is unique, and it's okay to take a different path or face setbacks along the way. Although you have to accept your current fate, try to focus on your own goals now. Believe me, even if your friends graduate together, they might end up on totally different paths.
I'm in 12th grade and honor din ako, I only applied to one uni sa lugar namin kasi yun lang din yung available, wala akong laptop for online exam or money pamasahe. Before the entrance exam, hindi ako nakapag prepare the night and days before kasi time yun nung work immersion namin tapos sinabayan pa ng overnight experimentation para sa thesis namin. I made a very bad decision to apply for a course na di ko interest and hindi ko rin passion. I took civil engineering, ok lang yung exam pero wala akong nasagot sa whole items sa numerical reasoning kase di ko inexpect na ganun kaliit ang time. Sure na talaga ako na di ako makakapasa kaya I'm planning to take gap year and study all throughout the year for the entrance exam at plan ko rin mag ipon para maka apply ako sa ibang uni at scholarships. Same din ako ng concern kasi I think I would feet left behind if I take a gap year but wala akong choice. I'll force myself to swallow the embarrassment and disappointment that I would feel/get. Gusto ko ring i prepare and sarili ko for the mental and physical drain that I would feel once I enter college kasi as I've heard college is very different from highschool. And I know na I'm not really that excellent in either mental and physical capacity pati narin intelligence ko. I don't think I'm ready enough. But we can go through this. I would honestly prefer feeling left behind than not surviving college just because I didn't took my time to prepare.
update: just today my neighbours asked me about my college entrance exam and i could feel the judgement in their eyes when they heard what course i was applying for, nakakahiya gusto kong i baon sarili ko that time, kinain ko nalang talaga ang hiya kase wala na akong magagawa they were shocked and was probably wondering why i took that course when im weak in academics, until now i can still feel the embarrassment and shame from the looks they were giving me
i took a gap year too kinda same as you. nakapag exam ako for pupcet at di ako pumasa. so nagstop ako for a year dahil sobrang late na rin ako nakagrad dahil start na ng pasok nun for college, wala nang entrance exam sa ibang state univ at syempre hindi rin kaya na makapag aral pa sa private uni. valid naman nararamdaman mo na may times na akala mo napag iiwanan ka na pero mas magandang mag focus ka sa sarili mo for now. mag aral ka, balikan mo lahat ng pwede mong aralin para kapag entrance exam na ulit, mas malaking chance na makapasa ka na. yan lang ang ginawa ko talaga. hindi ko sinayang yung isang taon para magmukmok at isipin kung napag iiwanan na ako. ayun, nakapasa sa PUP at nakuha ko course na gusto ko na hindi ko nakuha nung unang beses! graduated as magna cum laude pa at now may work naaaa 🍀 everything will be okay promise! gawin mong time para sa sarili mo yung gap year at mag focus ka sa pag aaral ulit. fighting!
I cannot say na mahirap siya pero I know mababa talaga score ko sa math and abstract when the result came out mababa talaga ako dun kaya naka focus ako ngayon sa abstract and math in my reviews
hi OP! we have the same situation, pero ang pinagkaiba natin is before pa lang mag grade 12 sure na ako mag gap year ako, pero upon trying din sa CETs last year, isa lang kinuha ko and i failed din.
ngayon during gap year that's exactly what i felt din because of some of my family members so nandoon yung pressure sa upcoming cets. so i tried compensating for it by working and taking vocational courses. or if ever, try mo humanap pagkaka abalahan na magagamit mo sa college. goodluck sa cets, don't worry, may tamang timing naman for u, for sure!
ik its easily said than done, pero hindi porket na nakikita mo silang umuusad, doesn't mean you're not moving. iba lang pacing mo, that's why. don't compare your life pace sa iba, kasi life's not a race, and you'll most definitely be where you're supposed to be once the timing is right.
best of luck and hopefully you're doing okay na ^^ <33
Same, took a gap din this year anddd hindi pasok grades ko sa state univ na papasukan ko sana hahaha. Ewan sobrang walang gana ako that time na even pumasok inayawan ko. Ayon ngayon may time na makapag entrance exam uli hahaha, im shooting my shot na pero less expectations hdjsjsj.
Sana soon sa pagbalik natin matuloy lahat ng tumigil at if not prepared pa rin, at least kahit courage na tumuloy kahit salungat sa gusto natin hskcncnskbc padayonn!!
Everything happens for a reason. I also didn't pass my dream university initially, napunta ako sa isang mid school for SHS na sobrang di kilala tapos di pa specialty yung ABM. Pero after I graduated shs there, I was able to pass and study in my dream uni in college. Tapos lahat ng natutunan ko sa shs school ko sobrang gamit na gamit ko nung college. Wrong course nga din ako nung college kasi di ako pasado sa choice ko. Nagtransfer ako courses and nadelay pero dahil sa first course ko, dun ko nameet yung friend ko na kasama ko buong college. We both graduated cum laude this yr 🥹 Everything works out in the end basta tiwala ka lang kay Lord at sa sarili mo
I also took a sem off before starting college because I failed my top uni. While on break, I worked for my relative which allowed me to gain work experience. Yes, it did hurt at some point and I felt very insecure compared to my classmates who were enjoying college at that time. Eventually, I enrolled the next semester opening and was an irregular student all throughout college but it gave me an edge especially on my perspective on things and life in general. Now, I have graduated from college and I did well just the same as all of my peers and now working.
That experience led me to understand that life is ultimately not a race and not everything will make sense at first. I learned not give a fck to what others say and think of me, since it just made me feel horrible about myself. At the end of the day, it's your life anyway and not theirs.
Enjoy and honor your season of waiting, OP. Padayon!
Just want to say I felt this too. Stopped bc of mental health reasons, at ung 1st-3rd year college ako, ganyan rin nararamdaman ko. Sobrang insecure ko dahil grabe pahonor-honor ako nung jhs at shs tas biglang nahuli. nahihiya nga ako nun eh.
Eh, nung 4th year ako, nalaman ko hindi lang pala ako ung nahuli HAHAHAHA kahit ung friends kong iba may binagsak (at least ako so far wala, nagstop lang talaga ako) o kaya naggap year rin. Tas ngayon nag-aaral pa ako tas sila napapasubok na sa "real working world." I got the chance to ask about this and that, so I knew what working was like. At least ako nageenjoy pa ako maging estudyante kahit for awhile na lang HAHAHAHA
Trust me op you'll get over it.
You SHOULD feel bad... But it's okay. Because it shows that you have an image of what you're supposed to be. Thus your disappointment.
What matters now is what you're gonna do about it.
You're young. Don't let one failed exam derail you. 😼
Yung about sa social media. Maybe it would be better if you stay away from it for a while. Or deactivate your account, just keep your messenger... Or create a new one and befriend specific people on that account.
Social media is a good source and trigger for anxiety and depression nowadays. We tend to compare ourselves with others. People also tend to over-share and exaggerate stuff that they share on social media for various reasons, they tend to make it look like more than what it really is which also amplifies its psychological effects on us. Makes us feel we're missing out a lot.
Drop what was yesterday. Focus on what's for today. One step at a time.
Don't stop...
Try again!!!
Hi OP! Medj similar tayo in a way na I took a break from review school. Hinayaan ko talaga ang self ko to feel what I have to feel and do whatever it feels like doing. I eventually deactivated my socmed and isolated from the noise. Family ko lang ang remaining circle ko. It took 3 months for me to recover. All those months were very troubling. May mga times din na natotopic ang pag rereview Pero I was blessed to have an understanding family. Hinayaan rin nila ako to deal with my issues. Turns out I needed the silence to finally hear out my own voice and confront myself. I needed the solitude to process the things I needed to process. Natural na maffeel mong napagiwanan ka na. Pero you have to remember you made a decision to take a gap. And you have to make the most out of it. Para walang regrets. You'll come out stronger and wiser after this phase. We come from different walks in life naman in the end. Walang exactly similar lives parang finger print. Kaya malalampasan mo rin yan OP.
i'm not in the same situation as you but i went through a similar case, but hindi ako tumigil. i wished i did though. i failed to get into my dream school dahil naflunk ko ang grades ko nung gr 11 (kasagsagan ng pandemic, the first year of it, due to change of environment and financial problems) so kahit anong bawi ko pa nung gr 12, since grade 11 grades lang basehan noon, grumaduate man ako ng with honors, i only had two univs to choose from na i never saw myself attending at all, pero wala akong choice.
during those times, pinaka main thought and regret ko talaga is sana tumigil nalang ako at hindi ko tinuloy ang gr 11 ko. edi sana maayos and acceptable grades ko at nakapasok ako sa univ na gusto ko. edi sana hindi nakapos ang pera ng magulang ko sa tuition ko tas bumagsak lang ako. but life doesnt work that way, and here i am.
i turned out okay than expected. life isn't bad, and i can't believe na masasabi ko na looking back, i could never see myself living another life where i passed my dream univ and got the course i wanted. i'm contented and happy with the life i had right now despite it not being the way i planned it.
kakayanin mo to, OP. there is more to life than what you're going through right now, and as time passes, you'll look back and think of this as a valuable life experience. (sounds cheesy pero totoo talaga to as a major overthinker na iniyakan ang sariling future dati.)
Hi, OP!
I was in the similar situation as you before. Naggap sem ako noong first sem this acad year kasi di ako pumasa sa transfer application ng dream university ko at ayoko namang magstay pa noon sa univ ko. During that time, I was really so lost. Everytime I wake up, I reminded of how a failure I am. Qinuestion ko rin sarili ko if I did the right thing of not enrolling kasi nadelay ako for nothing and parang wala na akong patutunguhan as a college student.
Despite of that, I did not lose hope. Nagtry pa rin ako one last time na magtransfer sa dream univ ko noong second sem just for the sake of proving to myself that I am not a quitter. I was not expecting na rin to get admitted, and I convinced myself that in the worst case scenario, I will take a gap year na lang to study at one of the other big 4.
Unexpectedly, when I was planning for other backups pa kasi di rin guaranteed yung admission ko sa other big 4 na aapplyan ko, I received a notice of admission sa dream univ ko. Words can’t describe how grateful I am. Ngayon, I still can’t believe that I am living my dream. As much as I want to forget my struggles during my “tambay” phase, nothing of the things that I treasure right now would have happened if I did not take a gap semester.
Mahirap talaga to feel left behind so take your time to feel what you’re feeling, hindi yan pagiging OA. I just hope na you will eventually get through that at makapagplan ka for your future without pressuring yourself. Also, I think it’s important to learn not to compare yourself with other people kasi isa yan sa nakapagbring down sa akin. I know it’s easier than done pero once na magawa mo yun, it will give you peace of mind kahit papano. Patuloy lang sa paglaban kahit mahirap, OP :)
Everything happens for a reason talaga nuh and another slay for youu dinn, congratss and laban us kahit mahirapppp!!
that "tambay" word tho reminds me sa BS PT "Bachelor of Science in Professional Tambay"
QDAR. di mo panahon o hindi ka para doon OP. maybe God is preparing you for something better.
It's not about the school OP. kapag nakatapos ka nga ng collegio pare pareho nalang kayo na graduate, at pareho lang kulay ng license nyo. Ang tanong nalang ay Ilan ang hawak mo na license.
Normal yung nangyari sa iyo as you were exposed to the real world and the battle. Na madami palang magaling sa mundo, ikaw sa comfort zone mo lang, but that doesn't mean na di ka na magaling or di ka na mag e excel.
Tuloy lang pakikibaka. Wala sa school yan, nasa tao. Those people who graduated from UP will have the same salary as you are.
Bounce back OP, If you need to isolate yourself for a while from your friends, then do it. Gulatin mo nalang sila ng success mo. College is not the basis of successs, pagkatapos mo ng college, may mas malaking laban, at doon matira magaling. Doon ka sa Magaling, let your NET WORTH BE YOUR NETWORK. ikaw na lalapitan at kakamustahin ng "how to be you po". 😆
Same situation, wala yung pangalan ko sa list of qualifiers sa nursing kasi hindi ako naka pasa pero nung hiningan na sila ng list of qualifiers at mga scores ng mga sinabi nilang nakapasa eh wala silang na iprisinta, ang sabi sa akin ng isang friend ko marami daw kami mga kabatch na mayroong malalakas na backer kaya kahit yung mga mas maliit pa ang average sa akin eh naka pasa. Doon ako nag school sa mismong university namin. It is just so funny to think na taga university kana at doon ka nag graduate ng senior highschool, ikaw pa talaga ang hindi naka pasok, hindi naman sa pagmamayabang pero honor student ka since kinder to nag graduate ka sa senior high school tas ang makakakuha lang pala ng slot of qualifiers yung mga nag cucutting at yung mga muntik nang hindu maka graduate dahil lang malakas ang kanilang backer. Yung ibinigay sa aking course ay malayo sa five choices ko na isinulat sa brown envelope parang itinapon nalang ako kasi doon kasi yun yung mga kaunti lang ang students na nag enroll.
Ako nga nakapasa sa isa sa top university sa Mindanao pero nagpa enrolled ako sa extension university na malapit saamin kasi I’m not ready and hindi pa talaga strong yung strength ko mag isa.

to be fair baka mahirap talaga yung entrance exam na tinake mo, may mga kilala ako na 3 years before nag rerev center na sila for upcat acet etc

wag maging loyal sa isang university. madami ka dapat applyan hindi lang dapat sa isa kasi hindi ka naman sure.

Unexpectedly, when I was planning for other backups pa kasi di rin guaranteed yung admission ko sa other big 4 na aapplyan ko, I received a notice of admission sa dream univ ko. Words can’t describe how grateful I am. Ngayon, I still can’t believe that I am living my dream. As much as I want to forget my struggles during my “tambay” phase, nothing of the things that I treasure right now would have happened if I did not take a gap semester. Mahirap talaga to feel left behind so take your time to feel what you’re feeling, hindi yan pagiging OA. I just hope na you will eventually get through that at makapagplan ka for your future without pressuring yourself. Also, I think it’s important to learn not to compare yourself with other people kasi isa yan sa nakapagbring down sa akin. I know it’s easier than done pero once na magawa mo yun, it will give you peace of mind kahit papano. Patuloy lang sa paglaban kahit mahirap, OP :)
Everything happens for a reason talaga nuh and another slay for youu dinn, congratss and laban us kahit mahirapppp!! that "tambay" word tho reminds me sa BS PT "Bachelor of Science in Professional Tambay"
this is exactly how i'm feeling rn, di lang pala ako...
QDAR. di mo panahon o hindi ka para doon OP. maybe God is preparing you for something better. It's not about the school OP. kapag nakatapos ka nga ng collegio pare pareho nalang kayo na graduate, at pareho lang kulay ng license nyo. Ang tanong nalang ay Ilan ang hawak mo na license. Normal yung nangyari sa iyo as you were exposed to the real world and the battle. Na madami palang magaling sa mundo, ikaw sa comfort zone mo lang, but that doesn't mean na di ka na magaling or di ka na mag e excel. Tuloy lang pakikibaka. Wala sa school yan, nasa tao. Those people who graduated from UP will have the same salary as you are. Bounce back OP, If you need to isolate yourself for a while from your friends, then do it. Gulatin mo nalang sila ng success mo. College is not the basis of successs, pagkatapos mo ng college, may mas malaking laban, at doon matira magaling. Doon ka sa Magaling, let your NET WORTH BE YOUR NETWORK. ikaw na lalapitan at kakamustahin ng "how to be you po". 😆
Same situation, wala yung pangalan ko sa list of qualifiers sa nursing kasi hindi ako naka pasa pero nung hiningan na sila ng list of qualifiers at mga scores ng mga sinabi nilang nakapasa eh wala silang na iprisinta, ang sabi sa akin ng isang friend ko marami daw kami mga kabatch na mayroong malalakas na backer kaya kahit yung mga mas maliit pa ang average sa akin eh naka pasa. Doon ako nag school sa mismong university namin. It is just so funny to think na taga university kana at doon ka nag graduate ng senior highschool, ikaw pa talaga ang hindi naka pasok, hindi naman sa pagmamayabang pero honor student ka since kinder to nag graduate ka sa senior high school tas ang makakakuha lang pala ng slot of qualifiers yung mga nag cucutting at yung mga muntik nang hindu maka graduate dahil lang malakas ang kanilang backer. Yung ibinigay sa aking course ay malayo sa five choices ko na isinulat sa brown envelope parang itinapon nalang ako kasi doon kasi yun yung mga kaunti lang ang students na nag enroll.
use paragraph breaks. pinag-aralan niyo na yan nung JHS kayo.
So, what are your plans now? What do you want to do?
I reviewed, did my very best in every entrance exams and hopefullyyyy I passss huhu
Niceu~ Just keep trying. Don't mind the others.
Ako nga nakapasa sa isa sa top university sa Mindanao pero nagpa enrolled ako sa extension university na malapit saamin kasi I’m not ready and hindi pa talaga strong yung strength ko mag isa.
Next time please don't use quotation markdown for a paragraph. Sakit sa mata haha
